Just like how Sonic and Shadow have done the impossible and saved both the world and the entire universe from total destruction.(Heck, they also even fought gods and devils on their own before and again)

I like how Shadow seems to respond better to Sonic’s rivalry then his friendship. Just relax and be happy was met with trauma dumping (essentially an I can’t). Sonic snapping back and giving up led to Shadow feeling comfortable enough to make a joke. It’s a little bit of nuance.

Not sure about the rest but the 1st part of Sonic is full of references “Can you feel the sunshine” - Sonic R “Take my hand we’ll find an escape” - Escape from the city “Live and learn from any mistakes” SA2 Live and Learn A bit of a stretch “Chill out by the coastline” - Emerald Coast SA1 Shadow parts are more of references to his game “All my memories rearranged” had amnesia in Shadow the Edgehog “Made a clone and told I died” - Eggman did lie to him and say he was an android and that the real 1 died “There was only 1 goal to save” - it’s literally Maria “And yet they shot her up all the same” the last time he sees Maria

[@FOXCHASE]

[@thaimcgrathmusic]

Heck yeah! ❤

[@Rikkimoro]

Ultimately, it boils down to, "I know you're not really that broken/unaffected, so stop acting like it! You faker!" A great way to expand upon their original Faker thing. XD Longer, it really shows the main thing that pushes them on different paths. Namely, Sonic cannot truly understand the depths of Shadow's trauma. The Blue Blur has never violently lost a loved one, after all. Sure he's probably lost some friends in Eggman's near world domination in Sonic Forces, maybe even in some other adventures, but none of the people really near and dear to his heart. Nor has he really had to question his identity, the solidness of his sense of self being a why he doesn't lose his mind when he turns into a werehog in Sonic Unleashed. As such, Sonic doesn't really get why Shadow's so closed off. Shadow must be playing up some of it, right? After all, Shadow's his rival, so if Sonic can get over all the chaos and violence then surely Shadow can too. Shadow, on the other hand, doesn't see how Sonic could have gone through so much violence and chaos and come out smiling the way he does. He figures Sonic is using smiles and laughs to cover up for his trauma. It's a common enough coping mechanism. Of course, this is spelled out pretty clearly in the song. Still, very well thought out! I love it! ^.^

[@TipToey]

In a way it feels like Sonic wants shadow to admit that life in the present isn't all bad but at the same time Shadow wants sonic to stop hiding his stress and pain behind a happy face.

On the one paw, it's sad that Sonic eventually just said "screw this, have fun with your negativity, Faker". On the other paw, this was so great, and I love how THAT was when Shadow began to relax more.

Song's tops overall, but damn; Foxchase, hearing you essentially sing _as_ Sonic felt alarmingly natural. I'm not sure if you were putting on a voice while recording this, but either way, it _really_ fits the character. I know KZbin musicians don't want to be pigeonholed into a single role or two, but I'd be deeply interested to hear this a couple more times. Awesome stuff.

i love how this basically retools the term "Faker" into something much more than a reference to sa2.

[@yeetboy1776]

Just wanted to give my own 2 cents on this song, this is probably the best fan song about Sonic and Shadow's dynamic. I especially love how you chose to show that Sonic both genuinely cares about Shadow, but also can get annoyed with Shadow's constant abrasiveness regarding Sonic, and put into words so well why Shadow, even at his most developed, doesn't really get close to Sonic. It's because Sonic is pretty much everything Shadow could have been without his trauma and issues, and though Shadow is the "Ultimate Life-Form," Sonic just straight up is the more stable and collected of the two, because unlike Shadow, he doesn't have any struggle with expressing himself or being happy, and Shadow HATES being reminded of his own self-loathing and inadequacy from the only person in the entire universe who is truly on his level (Silver isn't there, yet). The moment where Sonic is starting to give up on helping Shadow, thinking it's going nowhere, and resigning himself to throw real insults back at Shadow only for the edgy hedgy to prove that Sonic's efforts are indeed breaking him out of his shell, slowly. Despite how much people in the games, in the fandom, and even at Sega, believe Shadow and Sonic have no positive relationship at all (not that Shadow is exactly helping with that), we clearly see that Sonic helps bring out the best in Shadow, even when they're coming to blows, and the same goes for Shadow, who people might not realize gave Sonic some actual character development as well, as before Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic never really faced an opponent so genuinely hurt like Shadow was. Knuckles was being manipulated by Eggman but was still an honourable warrior who's only real bad actions was just harassing Sonic. But Shadow was straight up lashing out at a world that had taken away his reasons for existing, and if Amy didn't get through to Shadow on the ARK, the world may have come to an end. I think Sonic, especially during Black Knight, shows more emotional maturity than he did even than during his fight with Perfect Chaos. In Adventure 1, he understood that some threats can't be ended permanently by being beat, but by changing them for the better. After Shadow though, Sonic learned from his experience that he couldn't just hit them with positive Chaos energy, he needed to be better able to reach out to them on an emotional level. It's why you see Sonic using his words more often after SA2 than you do before. It's a subtle, gradual change, but it's still noticeable. Anyways, fantastic song Thai! Oh, haven't made a song request in a bit, but I'd like to pitch a song for either "The Amazing World of Gumball" or "Samurai Jack." Don't know if you'll actually do them, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Keep up the great quality songs! You deserve to be in movie credits one day!

[@AllardRT]

You know, I think you're right on the money with this one. I myself think Shadow's rivalry with Sonic stems at least partially from feeling inferior since while Shadow was engineered to be what he is, Sonic is pretty much his equal while being natural born. Shadow was created for a purpose only to have the purpose cruelly taken away from him while Sonic is carefree and lives by his own feeling. Even with their powers being equal, Shadow still has to rely on his inhibitor rings and air shoes while Sonic just is. Add to it the fact that while Shadow declared protecting the world to be his new purpose, Sonic saved the world multiple times all on his own. Add to it the Angel Island Mural theory and Shadow might just feel like an inferior prototype for Sonic (kinda like what Biolizard was for Shadow) or... a fake. If you take all of that into account, Shadow being irritated by Sonic and wanting to prove himself superior is unsurprising.

My interpretation from this is that they were actually trying to help each other cause Shadow tells Sonic “So stop pretending you have it all together” seems like he is trying to have sonic admit his pain. While Sonic saying “So just admit there’s a smile coming through” makes it clear he want Shadow to be happier.

[@JowellRF]

It honestly feels like Shadow is saying "Faker" as an insult, to say sonic is a knock off of him On the other hand Sonic saying "Faker" is calling Shadow out on putting up a front of being apathetic or unable to feel joy since Sonic has seen that theres more to Shadow than a broody edgelord.

[@silversuperfan1412]

Shadow's part in this is more of a "There is no way you aren't as affected by everything you go through. I am suffering from all that I go through and barely holding on, and you go through terrible things too (like that one line in Sonic Forces about being tortured?), so you have to be faking this positivity. Stop putting up this fake persona of happiness." Basically, Sonic thinks Shadow putting up a front of being so emotionally damaged/hurt/suffering from everything he has gone through that he's barely holding on in life and Shadow thinks Sonic is putting up a front of being completely unaffected from everything he has gone through that he's able to continue smiling and laughing and being so positive in life.

[@SwirlyEzra]

I love how the word faker in this case goes deeper then being eachother's clone. Like shadow said "stop pretending youre stable in this life of being hero." 1:34 And sonic is like "stop faking your always sad and you can be happy despite past traumas." 1:14 So it leads us with this sense of vulnerability despite the upbeat tune. So i love that

[@Replies.Delete.Sometimes.IDKy.]

Except Sonics right because shadow has smiled before AND was friends with Sonic before he randomIy started hating him for no reason so Sonic is right about him doing that. Ontop of that, Sonic has an attitude. Thats literally his core character since hes been created so him saying that to shadow at the end isnt out of character. Its just his usual banter.

[@silversuperfan1412]

@@Replies.Delete.Sometimes.IDKy. That's like saying those with mental health struggles can't smile and be going through something at the same time and if you smile, you aren't, like, depressed or something. Also, genuinely, cause maybe I'm forgetting something, but, I thought the only time he could be considered "friends" with Sonic was at the end of Sonic Adventure 2, which.. they weren't really friends, they were just teaming up really. Every other time past that, he was a rival who' on the same side as him and will team up with him, but they wouldn't be considered friends... That and considering he got amnesia so he wouldn't even remember being "friends" or teaming up with Sonic, right? So could it really be considered a random switch up if Shadow and Sonic always had more of a rivalry dynamic than a friendship one?

[@AllardRT]

@@Replies.Delete.Sometimes.IDKy. I think this song (and the ending banter at the end) illustrates well that Shadow is uncomfortable at being prodded and goaded into bonding with someone. It's only when Sonic gives up and stops, only then Shadow relaxes and allows himself a pun. Y'know, it's kind of like a hedgehog curling into a ball and letting the spikes do the talking when something bothers it and uncurling when it's no longer present.

Fantastic job Thai: I always wished Sonic Generations had its own theme song, and you definitely captured that feel.

[@randomtrainerx.3424]

Sonic: See! We're such great buddies. Shadow: (slightly smiles) no

[@Ang3LofSp4rK]

I love this melody and how utterly silly this song was. And Sonic going from encouraging to the random "WORSE" in the last chorus was the icing on the cake. 🤣

[@Rookie_Ninja_OSC]

NGL FOXCHASE is one of my favourite singers

[@aggromango534]

Same, loved him back in one of McGrath’s Frontiers songs, glad he’s back for more ‼️‼️

[@thaimcgrathmusic]

Ayyyyyy love to see the support for him! ❤❤❤

[@GameBoiAdvance-N64]

Fun Fact: Sonic's part of the bridge and the change in lyrics in his part of the chorus is actually a reference to his impatient nature. He got so fed up with Shadow being a gloomy guy, he just stopped trying to cheer him up altogether. He doesn't wanna be here forever, and doing this is just gonna put him in that position.

[@Enaeco_Dia]

Sonic's positivity makes me silly smile 😄 Come on, Shadow admits you want to smile too ~

[@Zakkujo]

Was NOT expecting this when I click on it LOL. It's so sick!

[@EnOerAslaP123]

4:21 "forget this" really did sound like sonic for a second there

[@FOXCHASE]

Thank you, I tried very hard to hone my Sonic voice for this 😂

[@EnOerAslaP123]

​@@FOXCHASEyou did EXTREMELY well with these voices, and I liked at some point that sonic started to get annoyed, keep up the great work!

[@isamelzorrilla5639]

Sonic is all sunshine and rainbows and shadows is all depressing and gloomy.

[@chaotrix.]

if the 2 fused personalitys it would be a perfect balance

[@thaimcgrathmusic]

Yeah 🥹

[@nuttylittlebuddy]

Who need Shadow's air shoes to light a fire when this song is already a burning flame? Seriously though, this song is so catchy and fire i cant stop listening.

[@Shonenboiss]

The back and forth in this Song was So Good!

[@thaimcgrathmusic]

Thanks dude! ❤️

[@cherribomb5422]

I literally can’t stop coming back to listen to this again and again.

[@EdgeLordSonic06]

I like how in the beginning Sonic was trying to lighten the mood and by the end he really just gave up 😭

[@tarasdiary]

I LOVE THIS SM WHAT, THE VOCALS, THE LYRICS, EVERYTHING???

[@thaimcgrathmusic]

Yayayayay! Thanks so much! ❤

[@DekuQueen01]

I like even the therapy didnt exactly work for shadow he can still make a funny pun even through all of his pain and trauma he went through. great song btw! very catchy too ^^

[@Jay.ep3]

We beating our faker in this one!!!🎉🎉. Always let this man cook!! Never kick him out!! Both of you cooked with this one! Keep it up!!!

[@AidenKellyQ1]

I love the fact that Sonic views Shadow as a friend because they both have been through deep $ĥ!ť together, and despite that, they have a friendly rivalry. I think Shadow enjoys the company of Sonic even if it's just trying to beat him. (Givin me reeeaal Vegeta vibes just sayn)

[@ILikeCinderace119]

He didn’t just cook. He prepared A 7 COURSE MEAL

[@Ace0fHeartzX3]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT “Sorry I didn’t hear that over my overwhelming ptsd and trauma” “…what”

[@scarletlion1318]

I like how the music reflects both Sonic and Shadow. Sonic being more relaxed and level-headed being more chill when it comes to his rock compared to Shadow's when it's more intense and more heavy metal focus. And I just like how Sonic is trying to help Shadow to not keep all his feelings inside. And also like how they're not using the word faker as being superior than the other but to help not fake Shadow's emotions. Together the song so awesome and YOU COOKED ONCE AGAIN, THAI 🤩🤩🤩!!!!! P.s. Shadow needs therapy.

[@videogamevis]

Bro the back and forths between Sonic and Shadow are great, didn't know how much Fox's voice fit with Sonic too. Just super well done

[@33pandagamer]

This got me thinking, they both have bad and good memories, the difference is what they choose to dwell on.

[@hollyadams7413]

I was smiling from ear to ear throughout this entire thing, you have no idea. These two just WREAK of brotherly energy! Or gay energy. Whichever one works. And at the end where Sonic just gets tired of getting through to Shadow only to show that he did... ah wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. And funny. I swear, Sonic's wisecracking jokes have rubbed off on ALL his friends!

[@MariposaDeMedianoche]

"Sorry, I didn't hear that over my overwhelming PTSD and trauma." I dieddddd.

[@Beepbop24]

"sorry i couldnt hear that over my overwhelming PTSD and trauma"

"Did you just make a pun?" "The ultimate life form does what he wants" PURE PEAK

[@lilwoofs]

I love that’s there’s a rap breakdown of shadows trauma 10/10 song (In all seriousness, amazing song! It sounds great, the singers are wonderful, and you characterized them well!)

[@donguieg5165]

Oh dear lord what an amazing banger, not only good lyrics and vocals but the dialogues between them were so well done and funny
