Holy shit, I never knew they lost the rights to Endless Possiblities. That’s really crazy, I remember hearing that song for the first time playing Unleashed and playing it all the time on Rooftop Run in Gens. Hope they can figure something out
I do too… lovely that it’s featured in the Sonic Symphony tour 🙏
@@HedgeOnStage Yeah when I went to the Chicago Symphony that song is the one that took my voice lol

This has nothing to do with sonic @ralouph3238
one of the hardest songs in the franchise
on god
Fun Fact: Endless Possibilities is still very present and is heard throughout every Sonic game where you can hear the "Super Sonic aura" sound effect, which originally came from Sonic Unleashed and features Endless Possibilities motif. (you can find audio rips on youtube where you can clearly hear it in the background)
Bro I thought I heard it when I was like 7 it’s crazy that I was right all along and not crazy lmfao
yeah i can definitely hear it. what a cool detail, honestly

@@ralouph3238 Damn Sonic lore is crazy
If you read the staff roll for Sonic Unleashed, you might notice something about Bowling for Soup members’ appearance being courtesy of Jive Records, a label that was shut down by Sony some time throughout 2011 - same year as Sonic Generations was released. Bowling for Soup were then absorbed into Sony’s RCA records, along with other Jive artists, before establishing their own independent record label. Since BFS is no longer part of Sony and Jive Records no longer exists, Sony might still retain the rights for the song but there’s no label to manage it anymore. That may be a potential reason why the song has been lost. What’s even more surprising is that Sony doesn’t even try to monetise the song through RUclips’s content ID, considering how hostile they are to anyone who uses a 5 second clip of their music for a meme video
I wonder if they will even try and get the music sorted out for a remake of the game considering they just made a new cover of it. I mean it’s alright I suppose but I honestly prefer the old version better
@@hamstergod9525 same. The new cover is great but… there’s something slightly off about it and I don’t know what exactly
Could it be the slight difference in the timbre of the vocals?
@@xxlarrytfvwxx9531that’s exactly it. Nathan does a great job, but it’s not the same.
Wow, when has Sony become the Nintendo of music?
This is why you download and preserve music you enjoy, not stream it. Rights can change at any time and the songs you love can be stripped away.
Couldn’t have said it better amigo
This is why I'm in a very few group of people in the world who still listening music using Winamp.
To make it more epic, I don't even have Spotify account 🤣
Good Ol' MP3's
@_Hero_Link_ flac > mp3
@@henry789 what is flac?
This song and “It doesn’t matter” from SA1 have lyrics that really sound like Sonic’s whole personality and I love them for it
I think each song encapsulates sonic perfectly in each game
SA1 encapsulates him as a teenager who doesn't care what the world tells him, he will fight for good, even if people see it as the opposite (such as Fighting Perfect Chaos and sparing him, even though Perfect Chaos probably killed millions of people)
Live And Learn encapsulates sonic who isn't like he was in SA1, he won't see a villain as "Just The Villain" but as someone who could be redeemed (in this case, Shadow The Hedgehog and Rouge The Bat) which happens, Shadow remembers his promise to protect earth, eventhough he did things that could of destroyed it
His World encapsulates him as the best of both, he doesn't care what happens, what people tell him, if he thinks he is doing good then that's all that matters BUT is always willing to give people another chance if they do bad (in this case, Silver on his multiple attempts to kill Sonic) and his ignorance of Mephiles, protecting the princess was his priority, even if he was told different
Endless Possibilities encapsulates everything, no matter what happens, no matter what comes his way, he will run, he will save the day and he will protect people and whatever outcome that comes, he will take it with pride because in his world, where it doesn't matter what people say, he can live and learn and enjoy the Endless Possibilities that are in his future
@@wolfiethefurrygamer1908Wow. That last part with your take on Endless Possibilities encapsulating Sonic’s personality really hit different when you brought all the other song titles together in a single sentence that pretty much sounds like a powerful poem in a way. Never would’ve said it better myself 😊
@@Blitz_Glam8322 thank you, I'm glad you liked it, it just came to me while I was typing it so I'm happy you liked it
Thank you for shedding light on this topic. Endless Possibility is without a doubt in my top 5 rock songs from the franchise, and I wondered what had happened to it after I fell in love with it when I first heard it in Unleashed.
Ty for being here! It’s an interesting case of a track that just goes missing out of nowhere, hopefully we hear it in its original form again someday
Man watching this video I didn’t even realise that Endless Possibilities was gone. I had always had the mindset that each game has its own theme, but they’ll occasionally come back via extra unlockables or whatever. With the Sonic Generations remaster releasing this year… if the original version of Endless Possibilities isn’t in the game, well then I guess it’s just gone for good 😔
This^
happy to report it’s still in the game!!
I absolutely love this song, I grew up with Jaret Reddick's vocals because of Phineas And Ferb and I heard his voice when going to Chuck E Cheese. The song has a great message about (how i portray the song) how things change. But there's so much endless possibilities in life that you can't miss, it has rock elements in the meloey and it's from the first Sonic game I've ever played
I love Nate's version too, but nothing can beat the original. I wish the song was treated nicely
Please don't let this beautiful message make me cry 😭
Personally? I believed it was about not giving up on yourself and continuing to grow. You can do so more than u think u can. I do like ur interpretation and I think it's what makes music beautiful. Everyone views it differently
Love how you say Chuck E Cheese when Jaret also plays him.
I interpret it as, nothing is impossible. Anything is possible if you willing to take that first step. In other words, "it doesn't matter" if others believe it is impossible "you can do anything", even "reach for the stars"...
I'll see myself out.
I'm so glad to hear someone talk about this. It's one of the best songs in this series so it sucks seeing it get done so dirty 😭
Sonic Unleashed is also available on XBOX ONE and XBOX Series X and Endless Possibilities is intact, worth noting since you named all official methods of listening to it at the end.
aaa that’s right! thank you!
I'm going to give a hot take here, I think Endless Possibility is more fitting of the franchise as a whole than Live and Learn. It's a banger, don't get me wrong, but there's something about Endless Possibility that really encapsulates Sonic's personality.
immaculate opinion
Live and Learn legit feels more fitting as Shadow's theme, as the song has many allusions to his past life
@@ryannathaniel9296yeah it basically is, as it has more references in his tracks and game.
I think His World is a better series theme than both, but 06 is still a dogshit game
@@mondopatrickI can’t say that you’re right, but I agree. Endless Possibilities is a fantastic theme and I think it does represent sonic well, but His World is just everything to do with sonic.
It’s a real shame. Cos this version is legit my favourite vocal theme in the franchise. I hope they can somehow overcome the legal issues with it.
I love Endless Possibility so much, because I always saw it as a song that kind of embodies the feeling of 'things getting better'. I've been waiting for things in my life to get better for a really long time now, and whenever I feel really down, I would listen to Endless Possibility and I'd feel better really fast. Since last month, I got even more in love with this song, because things in my life are finally actually getting better, so whenever I listen to this song again I cry to it even harder, feeling that, after all that happened, it was worth enduring everything that was going on. I love Sonic Unleashed so much, man...
I love that music is able to help people during hard times, I can’t think of a more fitting song. I hope things continue to get better for you
Popping in to give people a 2024 update, the original Endless Possibilities is thankfully still included with the new Sonic x Shadow Generations
Thank you for the update! I’ve finished Shadow Generations but haven’t progressed much into the Generations remaster. And it IS the original version correct? Not the Sonic Symphony version?
@ The Sonic Symphony version is sung by Nathan Sharp right? In which case yeah it’s not that, I did a side by side of an upload of the original on RUclips and this and as far as I can tell it should be the original, I’d recommend still checking for yourself tho
Doing gods work here
I really hope they get this sorted out some day. My first exposure to the entire Sonic franchise as a whole was with the games post 2005. Hell, i share the same birth year as Sonic Unleashed, so as you can probably tell this specific song along with its original vocals mean alot to me
Same😊
Best Sonic theme in my opinion. If there will be Sonic Unleashed remaster without Endless Possibility due to copyright issues, it would be so disappointing.
There are always covers
@@ScoutPlaysKalimba01true, they’d probably get Nate to do a cover since he did it for one of the Sonic symphonies
@@Glitchyy07aka: the best version of the song as of this reply
They'd just include a cover as close as possible to the original.
Worse they could do is the potential "Unleashed Ultimate" or whatever they name the Unleashed remaster giving us an instrumental version of the song (Sonic CD 2011 flashbacks)
In my opinion this song kinda represents the franchise as a whole?
It symbolizes how the franchise kinda lost its flow, and how many possibilities Sonic had, it just needed to find its way, find the power inside it, and you can see that with Sonic Unleashed and the insane shift in quality after 06.
Sonic team put EVERYTHING in this game, and you can feel it, it feels like the most epic and grand Sonic game ever made, the feeling of speed, the vibes, the character and his attitude, it was all present in this game, Sonic Unleashed really was Sonic incarnate, I love this game.
This song was beautifully made. No other sonic OST can compete to this masterclass of a song.
^^^^
Disagree heavily. Dreams of an Absolution exists. It's a very beautiful and meaningful song, too. Depressing even, considering how it's about Silver's destroyed future and his character as a whole. But it's also hopeful.
@@ravaniphoenix5431L take
@ravaniphoenix5431 it's good but this is different
@@ravaniphoenix5431 L
Endless Possibility was also featured as the 11th track on Disc 2 of the History of Sonic Music 20th Anniversary Edition CD, and its instrumental was featured in a Sonic Unleashed themed event in Sonic Runners
You know this song has it bad when it's only other appearances in the series are Sonic Runners, the 30th Anniversary Symphony and the World Tour.
Literally
Stole my comment! Was about to say this
This song should of been in Smash Ultimate. Its a criminal it never returned...
should have even been in smash 4
It's a shame that Sega apparently didn't learn their lesson with the Sonic 3 tracks and ensure that any future agreements permitted them to use the song as much as they wished (unless that was legally impossible).
It was likely that latter case, since it was unforunate unforeseen consquences that were all messy in terms of right legality. It wasn't like michael jackson where they just didn't fully realize at the time there was more to it.
It's more it got shuffled into a dusty corner in Sony's copyright box, and as much as they want to grab it, I think SEGA fears what might happen if Sony actually decides to take advantage of the fact they have it considering how cutthroat they are about copyright before deciding to hand it back.
When i hear this song, it makes me want to cry nostalgic tears, despite not playing the game yet. It’s a crazy, uplifting feeling. I want to believe that we’ll get the song back someday
I noticed this when I was making my Sonic playlist. I was like 'uh... why isn't Endless Possibility on the soundtrack??' My solution was to just pull it from an unofficial upload LOL. Sad to hear that the rights are gone.
You're so underrated my man, hope you grow, this is really good quality content, continue the quality! :)
bless ya
ty so so much. That means a lot considering the majority of past uploads are from a single brand. I’ve wanted to gradually branch into my other huge loved for so long. I appreciate you ✌️
@@HedgeOnStage give it your best my guy 😆💪
His World - Sonic
Live and Learn - Shadow
Endless Possibilities - The Franchise
I like how in the perfect dark Gaia version of endless possibilities when he goes super the werehog transformation is transformed into a hero in triumph as the trumpets get louder and the beat getting faster you feel like going faster and faster flying through the air ready and close to defeating dark Gaia
Thankfully the new version with Nate is an absolute banger too
Ehhh bowling for soup is better
@@AdamSelvigboth are amazing g in their own rights
But even I prefer nates version just a bit more. Especially since the Symphony adds more energy to the song and Nates Vocals are so great
Check out the Video Game Orchestra's version as well. Dave Vives's vocals are INCREDIBLE.
Ew Nate's ver. of songs are MID
@@zxabeir hard disagree bro.
Endless possibility represents everything sonic, that nobody can stop you and your freedom and that your limits are farther than anyone can set for you, even yourself. To not be afraid of the unknown as it might have something incredible for you
Wwhen it comes to sonic ost’s endless, sonic heroes, team sonic and team chaotix are my personal favorites! Sonic unleashed was so underrated, ppl i see hate on it these days.
When Unleashed came out, I was a HUGE Bowling for Soup fan, and when I heard Reddick’s voice on that opening track, I friggin lost it!!! And such a fitting Sonic song, can’t believe he actually wrote that song. I love this. This is the info I came for. Thank you for this video!!
I’ve always loved endless possibility from the very first time I heard it in the sonic unleashed teaser trailer! The fact that it has been absent from easy listening has always astounded me.
the music literally gives me chills I beat this game a few days agao and o my goodness is it amazing the best sonic games in my opinion , when I heard it when I was fighting dark Gaia I was so hyped bro , this music still slaps to this day it’s so amazing and nothing can top it or hit the way it hits
both versions of endless possibility are amazing aswell
I’m glad they were able to do a new version of the song so it’s not a forever-lost thing.
Endless Possibilities has always been my favorite sonic song especially growing up with this era of sonic it has always spoken out to me and been more sonic fitting than any of the other songs like his world and live and learn. It hurts that you can only really listen to this song on youtube and i love listening to the planetary pieces albums in my playlist. I did not know that they lost legal rights but this is definitely the greatest sonic song oat in my opinion.
One thing i haven't gone deep enough into the comments to see stated, is that each of the series main themes actually fits the era, *_very specifically._* There really isn't one "catchall" series theme.
Not a single one stands within any of the games it *_wasn't_* made for. Live and learn only really works for the SA2/B era, open your heart only really works for SA1, endless possibility only really works for unleashed. His world only really works for '06.
They've done too good a job fitting the vibe of each particular game or era of sonic and crew's lives.
It's great postulation but honestly, and most of them are timeless songs [in retrospect]. Picking any single theme not only misses the point, but just denigrate the lengths gone to, to produce theme music which fits the game and era it was made for.
The only theme i cam still to this day says works for Sonic himself *_SPECIFICALLY_* is "It doesn't matter" which... Was quite literally his personal theme song to begin with.
Endless Possibilities (yes that's what I call it, sue me) is to this day still one of my favorite tracks from the entire series. I often have a hard time picking singular favorites, but few songs are as high up on my list as this one. Of course it also helps that Unleashed is my favorite (and first) Sonic game :) I'm a sucker for werewolf stories and the way Sonic was written in Unleashed just felt perfect for the type of character he is, so any future game would be hard-pressed to beat Unleashed as my favorite ^^'
This song is just so wonderfully upbeat and pleasant to listen to, the lyrics fit Sonic perfectly, and the pitch of Jared's voice compared to Jason Griffith's Sonic really makes it feel like Sonic is the one singing :D
I will see you in the high courts.
@@Schnort 420 courts
Endless Possibility is my favourite song of the franchise. Thank you for giving it the love it deserves. I definitely love both of Nate's covers, he did one on his own channel before he performed at the 30th Anniversary Symphony. Also, Video Game Orchestra have performed a cover of Endless Possibility, and their singer Dave Vives is absolutely incredible.
oh I’ll have to give that a look!!
If it's a matter of rights to the song being lost, this could also explain why Unleashed hasn't had the remaster treatment yet. If they want to do a proper re-release of the game they might have to redo or completely replace the track, which given how iconic it is could spark severe backlash. Still, I find it hard to imagine this being a severe holdup for them. If they really wanted to do a remaster they probably wouldn't shy away from going so far as rewriting the script and redoing the voice dub, complete with a new version of Endless Possibilities to go along with it. This would be similar to them replacing Reach for the Stars with a new version in Colors Ultimate and them redoing the script and dub of Generations in the SXSG Remaster.
Endless possibility and one-way dream i think can make anyone who knows Sonic and the franchise cry because is just 2 beautiful songs
Yo this video is great, never in my life i would notice this. Keep up the amazing work🔥❤
tysm 💛
The original version is honestly my favorite Sonic song of all time, its so nostalgic to me and always manages to rouse emotion in me. It doesn't just remind me of that era of Sonic that I grew up with, but that part of my childhood in general.
The new version they have with Nate is good, but it could never hold a candle to the original in my opinion.
on top of being such an informative video to a question I've always had. I just wan t to highlight how awesome the cinematic edit of game footage over the song just making me feel this classic sonic masterpiece so much more!
The first time I heard this song was actually Sonic Generations. I loved it so much and thought it fit Sonic so well! I would play some level that looped over and over until you did the thing you were supposed to do, pick this song to play instead of the default, and just run and collect rings until I had my fill. It's just so good.
3:11 Someone has to hear Beast boy’s voice in that! I know I’m not crazy!
It’s the same for Powerman 5000’s Almost Dead and the Zebrahead version of His World, no where to be found 😔
??? I found the zebrahead version with a quick RUclips search..
Endless Mystery
It truly is 😞
8:10 I love that you put a Barney the Dinosaur!
I also love hearing the endless possibility cover from R3 Music Box! Which I listen to all the time
A majority of my channel is based in covering the history of Barney.
Check out my older uploads when you get the chance, the franchise is a big part of my life
This is probably one of or my favorite video game song, so it’s unfortunate that they did lose the rights to the song. I hope they bring it back somehow
At this point, I’ll be surprised if Sega can keep the rights to the freaking stage clear jingle. What is up with their legal team?
I love the original so much, however if Nathan Sharps version is going to be the mainstay from here on out, I’m personally fine with that. Been listening to his music for years and am always happy to se him grow.
I love this theme and I always interpretted the breakdown as, "even though I look evil, that I look like a monster, that any minute, I might snap and go wild, I want you all to stand back because I won't let this darkness hurt anyone because I AM A HERO"
At least, that's how I felt it, Sonic knowing he could lose it so he begs for people, both strangers and friends to get away because he doesn't want to hurt them
It even solidifies when he interacts with Amy for the first time in his form, he runs away but not like how he normally does, he runs away but sad, not happy or teasing, just sad, like he knows he could accidentally hurt his friend so he separates himself and Amy so it doesn't happen
Even though I've been playing Sonic games all throughout my life, nothing hits me in the nostalgia quite like Endless Possibilities.
this song at the end of the ps2 version of unleashed made me feel something no other game has as a kid
Endless possibilities is the best sonic main theme for me I’ll always treasure this song for the rest of my life
Praying we get this banger in sonic 4
Endless Possibility was my jam back in the day... really strange to hear that it was being omitted this whole time!
Although I don't really hold this song dear to my heart like Live and Learn or Open Your Heart I still hope that one day they manage to officially revive the original version, I guess the silver lining is that we can at least listen to it on youtube...
Hearing the song after saying a last goodbye to Chip,It's really heartbreaking and surely makes you drop some tears
I was wondering why it wasn't in the sonic frontiers jukebox. That is crazy.
I'm not joking, I feel like Endless Possibilities is the song that defines Sonic the best
"Im not joking" like you dont have the exact same opinion as thousands of other people
I fucking adored Sonic Unleashed, and I had the Wii version, so even that imo was a fun time. After Sonic 06's abysmal results, I remember sighing in relief that Unleashed was good. I know many didn't like the night stages, but I enjoyed them (just not the annoying henchmen battle music lol). Endless Possibilities really spoke to the freshman highschooler in me at the time in 2008 hahaha. A shame that legalities can get in the way of timeless music...also really glad we still have RUclips and mp3 downloaders.
Hot take Unleashed (Xbox 360) is LITERALLY the best game in the franchise.
Yes. Werehog included.
To hear of this is deeply upsetting, cause to me this game encapsulates Sonic’s world and character better than any other.
That orchestra rift was all i heard and thought it was the games song for a good couple of years until i heard it. Well years later
This song represents how Sonic's feeling when he's running, also when he's in his werehog form. This is the true Sonic theme in my book while Live and Learn is Shadow's. No other song can tell us Sonic's feelings like this song.
I love this song so much man. It’s sad that it wasn’t in Frontiers as a music selection.
So this is the reason why its no longer available in Spotify :(
I'll never forget that song.
I’ve just started to listen Sonic Unleashed’s soundtrack again. I was so confused why Endless Possibilities just wasn’t on Spotify, I had to come here on RUclips to find the song, as it’s been reposted so many times on this app. It kinda sucks the original song has gone through this weird loophole, I hope it returns in some capacity digitally. It’s basically in my top 5 for best main themes in a Sonic game.
The ost from Sonic games just hits differently 😭 I always find myself eventually jamming out to them often especially when I've had enough to drink lol
I remember Sonic Unleashed being turned down by the fandom back in the 2010s... Looks like people finally opened their eyes
THIS!!!
Nathan Sharp (NateWantsToBattle) is the GOAT! I was already a huge fan of his before the 30th anniversary symphony, and it was such a pleasant surprise to see him performing Endless Possibilities.
Endless possibilities makes me smile EVERY DAMN TIME I hear it
Don’t know what happened to the Zebrahead version of His World and the whole of the Rush OST (besides back to back) cuz their not on Spotify
Were they ever on there? Spotify is missing a lot of Sonic songs.
Theres a video on youtube that has the original track, so i converted the video into an mp3 and connected my local files to my spotify, so now i can enjoy endless possibility on spotify
This song hit me in a way other dont. Unleashed has the best story and presentation.
Loud incorrect buzzer
I can’t believe Charles Entertainment Cheese himself wrote the lyrics of and performed one of the best Sonic themes in the series!
I was on Apple Music getting all the unleashed music and was so confused why it was missing. It’s the TITLE theme! So sad to hear dumb bs politics getting in the way.
Endless possibilities is my favorite theme in the entire series it’s a shame that it hasn’t been included in frontiers or any of the smash games
Here's to Hoping with Sonic X Shadow Generations being a Port with a new second half that it helped with renewing the license for Endless Possibilities.
OMG! I had no idea Endless Possibilities was actually a COLLAB! 😮 That makes this song even more epic knowing it was composed by Sega and sung by Bowling For Soup. Also I love Bowling for Soup because they also put their music in many anime movies I watched as a kid, including Digimon. Sonic Unleashed is EPIC.
Endless Possibilities just scratches my brain in the best way.
Also, my introduction to Sonic the Hedgehog was Unleashed... And I really liked it LOL I never understood the hate when I was younger. ESPECIALLY when it had such amazing music.
So thats why they had Nate do a Cover for the anniversary orchestra Edition instead of the OG version.
The song returned for Sonadow Generations on 2024
Definetly Endless Possibility has to be my favorite Sonic theme, and it’s a shame that the original one is now currently “disappeared”. Very good vid tho!
I got an iPod mini for Christmas the same year this game came out. It was one of like 10 songs I put on it at first. I played sonic unleashed all day with this song on repeat in my ears hahaha
Was waiting for someone to make a video on this
i genuinely love the mix of amen breaks and j rock 😭😭😭😭
I'm exploring these games with my kids and a freaking love this song (and a lot of Sonic music). I feel like such a nerd lol. The guitar is just sick.
The reason why the original version is not available on streaming is because the sound recording is not owned by SEGA, it is licensed to Zomba Recording LLC (as per the OST's booklet) aka Jive Label Group. The company shut down on October 2011, a few weeks before Sonic Generations came out, so I assume that made licensing complicated for SEGA
If Sonic X Shadow Generations omits the song or replaces it with the cover... I guess then it makes sense why they started the remasters with Colors instead of with Unleashed. RIP.
This is always a question i had in my head ive wanted this on Spotify for so long so now I just use RUclips music to hear it
Kinda a correction, for the start of the boost gameplay it was Sonic Rush (which predates Sonic Unleashed by 2 years), not Sonic Unleashed. Though, I do believe that this is the first instance of a console sonic game actually using the boost gameplay though so I can see your point here.
I wondered why my favorite song was removed from my sonic playlist :'((( I love Nate's voice so I guess its all good
Dang you just reminded me of in his world, Chills.
This game will always be apart of me and my heart as my favorite game and my only going childhood. And I thought the werehog was the best part, I know your body has different opinions and that’s OK ❤
There's also the fact that the track doesn't appear in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Smash has almost every vocal Sonic main theme, with the exception being Endless Possibilities. His World seems to have similar problems, which is why Smash and Frontiers used the E3 version of that track.
Generations seems to be an exception because this was to be their biggest celebration and was worth splurging. Or maybe including the tracks was how they found out about the difficulty.
I wonder if those two tracks and the Rush tracks (which are also under some legal issues it seems and were removed from iTunes, Smash, and Mario & Sonic) will return in Sonic x Shadow Generations
It's in sonic frontiers after they added more unlockable music!! One of the first songs I found I was stoked. I think it was the orchestra version though not sure it's so good either way
The only proof I’ve seen of this is a mod that adds the song into the game. I’ve seen no one else speak of its inclusion nor it’s location
I tried to find the original version on Spotify but I’m fine with the cover it’s in my video game music playlist
