    Please don't apologise. ALOT of newcomers to the franchise don't know about the OG because the Crush 40 version is the one that gets referenced and remixed since 06.

    Fun fact about "I Am (All Of Me)" is it was a somewhat hasty replacement for the original song "Who I Am" by Magna-Fi. The reason it was replaced was because one of the band members left and decided to not let them use it in the game. It's an excellent replacement but "Who I Am" is fantastic too ("I Am (All Of Me)" is probably more exciting as an opening for the game too). All the vocal tracks to Shadow the Hedgehog are amazing, but there is one that's uhhh split on popularity called "Almost Dead" lol as the title suggests, "Almost Dead" is incredibly morbid compared to the other tracks and is rather depressing but heavy lol

    • @ThisisTheUltimate
      @ThisisTheUltimate 10 месяцев назад +3

      Really? I've always thought and theorized that "Who I Am" was a theme from the Neutral Hero ending before it was replaced with "Waking Up", where Shadow and Omega defeat Eggman, Omega says that Eggman is on target ready to fire and then Shadow kills Eggman with a karate chop after saying "I am Shadow android created by Eggman, you may have created me doctor, but I will now lead this empire and androids will rule!" due to the lyrics of "Who I Am" they fit so much with that ending
      like: "You never really understood me, you always put me down, like a dog that is beaten over and over", Shadow saying to Eggman that Eggman underestimated him, by thinking he is just another regular android
      "One day I'm gonna take you down" Shadow saying that he is going to make Eggman pay, like he does on that ending, by "killing" him with a karate chop saying that he is going to make an army and destroy the world
      "This is who I am, not a Shadow of who I want to be" Shadow saying that he is more than an android of the original Shadow, he is his own person and he is going to prove that he is much more than that by ruling the world
      "Now try to understand, that this is who you made me, and you're not ever gonna change me" Shadow saying that Eggman created him like that and he will not change because of him, it even fits with what he says on the ending itself
      And it goes on...

    • @AHylianWarrior
      @AHylianWarrior 10 месяцев назад +1

      @@ThisisTheUltimate Magna-Fi really understood the storyline yeah, but you explaining it really shows that it was supposed to be the game's theme over "I Am (All Of Me)". It was so good at describing the game but the singer leaving and ignoring responses from Jun really messed that up.
      Crush 40 are so god damn good at just spawning a song first but they seem to do the melody first then the lyrics later which is why the lyrics for the official song are so much more disconnected than "Who I Am". You can see an example of their "melody first, lyrics later" approach with the "Sonic Heroes" demo song where Johnny is just vibing and ab libbing various noises lol

      @@AHylianWarrior I Am All of Me seems a lot more ambiguous, that's why I think it fits as a theme of the game so much
      As I said, Who I Am fits a lot with the Neutral Hero ending, maybe you could also argue that it fits with Black Doom endings because Black Doom technically created Shadow and it's also trying to change him, that could be for him too, but it fits a lot more with this Eggman ending in specific
      But I Am All of Me really stands out the point of the game and it does not seem like a song for a specific ending, with lines such as "Black hearted hero, great hearted evil, I am all, I am all, I am" which shows that the game is about taking paths and choose if you're a hero or a villain, rather than just fitting one single ending, that's why I always thought Who I Am was supposed to replace Waking Up originally

    • @bakubread9308
      @bakubread9308 7 месяцев назад +1

      slight correction, it wasn't that the singer wouldn't let them use Who I Am, it's that they literally couldn't find him to get permission, so they decided to replace the song just to be safe. The version you can listen to now isn't that original mix either, they re-recorded it to release it publicly (probably for the same reason)

    Hey Hey ZorDonofDoom, I wanted to start off with how I really enjoy your videos and music, but most importantly I appreciate your positive vibes in how present yourself as well.
    I also wanted to suggest a couple of songs from games that are from Sega, or songs from games in which the soundtrack is Sonic-esque to a degree.
    Sega game suggestions:
    THIS IS MY HAPPINESS from Space Channel 5, Angels With Burning Hearts (English version) from Burning Rangers), and SHOW TIME from Rhythm Thief.
    Sonic-Esque Soundtracks:
    Vs Sayu from No Straight Roads, Special Boss from Spark the Electric Jester 1, and Panic in the Sky from TMNT Shredder's Revenge.
    Seeing that you are a singer I would love to hear you talk about the technical aspects about music and vocals. Keep rocking dude.

    There is a boss theme that got a remix that goes HARD in sonic generations
    Big Arm from sonic 3. the Remix of that in sonic generations 3DS is so awesome and you never hear it ingame, because the boss is the first one and over in under a minute.
    oh and some trivia on the topic of my requests, "Sonic 3" is one half of "Sonic 3 & Knuckles". the game was split in two back then because of a deal with Mcdonald's and the games were still on cartridges back then. So "Sonic 3" was one, and "Sonic & Knuckles" was the other and had a lock-on feature to put both games together. And also with Sonic 1 so you can play "Blue spheres" or Sonic 2 to have Knuckles playable in Sonic 2.

    Just found your channel today and binged all your Sonic reactions! It's been so cool seeing your journey. As a massive Sonic fan, I love Sonic music so much and it's very dear to my heart. I don't know what people have already requested, but I'll leave some of my suggestions below: (apologies in advance for the length 😭)
    "Waking Up" from Shadow the Hedgehog - An absolute banger, plus it's also from Shadow the Hedgehog if you wanna keep that train rolling!
    "The Chosen One" from Shadow the Hedgehog - More Shadow! This is definitely one of the most "no one would ever guess this is a Sonic song" songs out there imo 😂 but it's really good
    "BACK 2 BACK" from Sonic Rush - Sonic Rush has one of the best Sonic OSTs in my opinion, but it's often overlooked since it was a DS game. It's done by Hideki Naganuma, a fantastic composer who also did the music for Jet Set Radio. His use of samples is really unique!! (Also the Generations version is the same, so don't worry about different versions.)
    "What U Need" from Sonic Rush - Another Rush banger
    "Reach For The Stars" from Sonic Colors - Sort of a biased pick as Colors was my first Sonic game (and one of my first video games in general which is crazy to think about lol) and I have an intense nostalgic connection to this song, but I really do love it and I feel like it won't get recommended as much. There is a remix of it from the remake Colors Ultimate as well, but if you listen to this one make sure you listen to the original first!
    "Sonic Boom" from Sonic CD - This one's just an absolute banger. There's also a Crush 40 version!
    "Follow Me" from Sonic Heroes - Team Rose's theme and my personal pick for best Amy theme song!
    "Infinite" from Sonic Forces - If you thought Shadow's music was edgy, wait until you meet Infinite LOL. This one's got Tyler Smyth, who also did Find Your Flame from Sonic Frontiers!
    "Fist Bump" from Sonic Forces - This one's just fun! Forces might not be a good game but as per the Sonic rule, the music still slaps 😂
    "We Can" from Sonic Heroes - I believe in one of your reactions you said you'd be reacting to this next, but I can't find the video if you have? If you have already reacted to it then just ignore this one lol
    Again apologies for the length!! I'm just very passionate about Sonic and Sonic music

    Just saying "Never Turn Back" is one of my faves however i see you have already reacted to it soooooooooooo uhhhhhh. oh no you've reacted to a lot of stuff, though i don't see much non vocal tracks from sonic games so let me hit you with something from sonic rush. "a New Day" is what you hear on the title screen. "What U Need" is a lot of people's favorite from that game, but "Wrapped in Black" is my fave.
    P.S. it should be noted that boss tracks like "Wrapped in Black" are split into 2 separate parts, and that level themes like "What U Need" have 2 separate versions

    And yeah, my favorite version of All Hail Shadow is definitely the Magna-Fi version, I dunno there's something about the chords and the vocals that I really connect with.

  • @BrandonGiesing

    At the start of the Nate cover, you ask “Is this the version from Generations”, just a heads up, One Way Dream is the ONLY Nate song that was official in the games (and only the 2nd time he’s worked officially with SEGA, the first being the Symphony performance), the rest are all fan covers so none of his others are from any specific game.

      Shadow the Hedgehog is far from being considered the worst game on the series, it is not liked by a good amount of people, sure, that's true, but by far not considered the worst, we have Sonic 06, Sonic Forces, Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric, Sonic 4 Episode I and a lot of games that most fans put before Shadow the Hedgehog
      About the OST, I hardly disagree with that take, The Ark, Sky Troops, Digital Circuit, Gun Fortress, Lava Shelter, Waking Up, All Hail Shadow, I Am (All of Me), Never Turn Back... I think all those songs are amazing, and even more on the soundtrack is, but I don't know why so many people dislike the OST of this game and usually thinks it is unremarkable, just like Forces, Sonic Forces' OST is really good, it has some amazing pieces, but people say it is a bad OST (mostly because of the use of synth for most of the tracks)
