I really hope they paid you well for this performance in the game Donna. It's an iconic melody for an equally iconic video game series. Mad props to all concerned in its production.
It's now the year 2020, and I can't remember how many times I have listened to this song already. Ever since day 1 of hearing this in MGSV, I just felt like listening to this over and over again. Thank you Donna, for all you have done for us, I am sure there are many more listening to your songs during these difficult times
+IASIAN FUNTAGE I. Cried when you go down to the basement *SPOILERS* And you walk in an they say "we let the boss decide who lives and dies" and I choked up when you see they're all infected and you have to gun down your own men
Leaves me speechless every time I hear how she sings in character so well! So much emotion, effort, talent, and overall love and passion for what Donna does. Thanks Donna! Legends never die!
They seriously picked the perfect singer. She is technically excellent and has the emotion to match. Such a strong yet vulnerable voice. It also gives me a motherly vibe. So beautiful.
I've been listening to this for an hour on loop. Nothing else. No other music. No other ambient noise. I have never been this goddamn pumped in my entire life
It's like... the best song ever. No exaggeration! The song has so many phases. And the amount of awesomness and memorable moments is just too big for one song. Thank you for this experience.
Savage Grandpa I made my own experiences.. sometimes I was like " it´s the final countdown lala la la laaaaaa" and I was just messing enemies with grenade launcher. But sometimes I played "Sins of the Father" and even fultoning a goat was very emotional experience! :D Not mention playing It while some story mission. You can make your own soundtrack once you collect the songs. And that´s perfect :)
Donna you have a great set of lungs on you there (and i'm not being dirty minded for once lol) and you seem to know the story for Metal Gear (at least the latest TPPV) which is also excellent. I can't get enough of this one, also keep flipping between your song and Quiet's Theme by Stefanie Joosten. And you are also the voice of the iDroid. Did Kojima use your parasite theory or was it the other way around? lol. You should do voice work for sat navs and such. In fact any chance you could record a bunch of new iDroid phrases so i can play them all around the house to make my girlfriend think she's losing it. lol. I suppose that is a bit evil. I do have a nicer idea but as of this moment it is just idea, needs planning.
I hit the play button and when the song finished I noticed there are flies swarming around my face and body. My workplace just called and told me not to come in since I'm now fired. Apparently, a week had gone by without my knowing.
Great song, even better performance! The MGSV trailer for this song kind of sold me the game as soon as I heard that cool thing! From that to in the playlist) Donna is gorgeous, no words!
That was such an incredible performance, brought tears to my eyes at how strongly you show emotion in your music. Such a powerful, yet mesmerizing voice, as always. Simply beautiful, thank you so much Donna Burke!!!
@@BlackRangerArmy I called singer or anyone who make music artist as that's what they do, art but yeah I only know him starting MGS3 so definitely can't tell the older games lol
This is swan song for all people who was on war. I was. And I was hearing this with opened mouth and I was shaking inside. Powerful performance. Sorrowful and cruel world we living in.
Meravigliosa... Perfetta e inimitabile... Canzone cantata con passione, vita e sofferenza... Voce di un angelo... Ti fa vivere davvero un'emozione incredibile... se nn fosse lei a cantarla non sarevve lo stesso... Formidabile...
*That* is how you deliver a performance, people. Clear proof that she puts emotion into her work. I hope you go on to produce much more works like this, Donna. 1:17 is simply iconic. You're wonderful to listen to, both as a voice actress and a singer. And an iDroid.

..wait wrong song
What a thrill, with darkness and silence through the niiight.
But it's still the same singer.
To be fair, john78tv might be talking about the cover of Snake Eater Donna uploaded a while ago. Don't know if that's the case, though.
you could totally throw a snake eater in there and it would still fit
The best is yet to come
I sing this when I accidentally head shot an S++ soldier with a lethal when I thought I had a non-lethal equipped

Thank you Donna for being part of the MGS brand for the past 5 years.
This is absolutely amazing, your belt is so incredible!! And your emotion, bloody hell!
Came here after knowing the announcer's voice I heard in Shinkansen is hers (the Japan fastest train). So amazing and pleasant voice!
You know the music is REALLY good when it gives you goosebumps skin
It's like... the best song ever. No exaggeration! The song has so many phases. And the amount of awesomness and memorable moments is just too big for one song.
Thank you for this experience.
+Michal Horák thanks so much for letting me know
Still a bit sad that it was underused in the game, because it's such a work of art, by far the best vocal track I've ever heard.
Savage Grandpa I made my own experiences.. sometimes I was like " it´s the final countdown lala la la laaaaaa" and I was just messing enemies with grenade launcher. But sometimes I played "Sins of the Father" and even fultoning a goat was very emotional experience! :D Not mention playing It while some story mission. You can make your own soundtrack once you collect the songs. And that´s perfect :)
+Michal Horák great song, a shame the plot to the game didn't live up to it, great game mind you
kim north yr wrong everything she says is phantom pain...u obviously don't get it
Wow, beautiful and talented. More talented than a few plastic "stars" out there.
Hi, I'm late but I'm here to say Mariah Carried by lipsync.

Going for more than 4 years. The game still lives on because of this song! Big Boss would be proud!
The way my hair stands when she starts the chores 💪💪💪 amazing voice
Beautiful song. Kojima has a knack for picking out amazing tracks for his games.
He didn’t pick this one though, it was composed by Akihiro Honda for MGS V. Lead Composer Ludvig Forssell wrote the lyrics.
That was such an incredible performance, brought tears to my eyes at how strongly you show emotion in your music. Such a powerful, yet mesmerizing voice, as always. Simply beautiful, thank you so much Donna Burke!!!
