A Stranger I Remain (Maniac Mix) | Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Soundtrack)

[@pseudonym7180]

I messaged this guy on Facebook back in 2014, like a year after the game came out. I had just beaten it, and obviously knew who the games composer was, so I actually looked him up on the social media site and found him. I immediately started typing out a message praising him for making this fantastic game a masterpiece with the addition of his soundtrack, expecting no response in return, but to my surprise, he actually messaged me back lol I believe he wrote something similar to, "Thanks, man. Rock on!". I didn't reply, seeing as how I'm sure he was busy, but the fact he wrote me back was something I found joy in, so thank you, Jamie lol

[@jchristopherson]

Thanks again! Here we are 10 years later. Keep rocking on! :)

[@danielaclarke5656]

The lyrics for the song as no one has done it, enjoy! [Verse 1] I've come here from nowhere across the unforgiving sea Drifting further and further, it's all becoming clear to me The violent winds are upon us and I can't sleep Internal temperatures rising and all the voices won't recede [Chorus] I've finally found what I was looking for A place where I can be without remorse Because I am a stranger who has found an even stranger war I've finally found what I was looking for Here I come (Come, come, come, come) Here I come [Bridge] La chaleur me dérange Mais c'est le grincement du bateau qui m'a réveillée [Outro] I sharpen the knife and look down upon the bay For all of my life, a stranger I remain A stranger I remain A stranger I remain

MGR:R easily has one of the greatest VGOST's ever. Sincerely: Thank you Jamie, for composing these masterpieces. I can't name a single other VGOST off the top of my head, where every single track is a 10/10. What you achieved is nothing short of mind-blowing. Oh, and I'm excited to hear what you have in store for MGR 2, coming out in... *soonᵀᴹ*

me and the masking I do as an autistic person....makes this song very relatable because while my friends "know" me, I still remain a Stranger deep down. Thank you Metal Gear, never thought i'd find a song that matches my autism exactly

I was a gender queer person, I also find this song stangely relatable

[@nathanandres7695]

Even if its the year 2024, and most games these days dont really have the same hype ost as these ones. Thank you once more for such a gift bestowed us fellow fans, Mr. Christopherson!!!

I still come back to this soundtrack a decade later. You really made something special.

[@tinhboe6776]

I lament the day i discover this game soundtrack. I have searched for metal, industrial metal, vocal metal, etc, none of them come close to the sheer goodness of MGRR ost. I literally cannot find any song with similar style, and i have been listening to MGRR OST on repeat every single day. You forever alter my taste in music Sir Jamie, and i both thank you and maybe a little blame you for this lol

[@1dustbranch111]

I think the reason a lot of people dont like this song as much as the rest of the soundtrack is that voice close up at the 44 seconds. The audio is all lowered for all the rest of the song to cause that For me, this song never reaches its full potential because of it. Not that its not a cool effect, but you're supposed to do that with your voice when singing, not lower all the rest of the instruments to achieve it -its still a good song tho
