I love how the song combines Jazz, Rock and hip hop elements to portray the 3 characters personalities

[@user-s8gma48zzl34]

Micheal actually is into Rock, and rock n roll, while Trevor is into Punk Rock. You're right about Franklin liking Hip Hop though

The clarinet gives it almost a fuzz effect, which makes sense because both square waves(fuzz) and clarinets resonate only every other harmonic.

[@riverpascual7592]

the overall production is warmer, more organic, has more space, air, and reverb, and therefore, sounds more "wet" the original sounds a bit... dry, sterile, and too "sharp" sounding.

[@FullThrottle360]

[@TheAsdasy]

gta 5 had this really nice indie pop chill wave vibe ✨

[@naxmorvigatore4168]

This song perfectly epitomizes the phrase "ah shit, here we go again" that while unspoken by Franklin or any other characters is definitely _felt_ and _expressed_ by all three in their own silently brooding ways. And even felt by the players themselves in a meta sense as they're welcomed back and invited to sit down and relax as they begin their brand new lengthy journey of organized crime. For better or for worse, there's a hell of a life ahead.

[@Tony-qe3fl]

I listen to this song every now and then, it’s so satisfying watching/hearing every instrument doing its job in your video. The music direction for GTA V was phenomenal, i’m so glad they went for a classy/jazzy vibe alla Ocean’s 11.

Very excited to hear this cover but, Luke! I think you should cover the song "An Endless Desert" from Alto's Odyssey! It'd be a great chance to use your ukulele and a lot of the percussion that you don't normally use in covers. It is a great song and is designed really well! I'd love to see its aesthetic on your channel, and I also think it would be fun for you if you covered it! Just a suggestion!
