LISA: The Joyful OST - He's My Dad (Game version)

The alternate version of He's My Dad that plays ingame. Only uploaded due to this version being unavailable on KZbin. Video is not monetized.
How the fuck can you think the Soundtrack version is an improvement on this.

The song's iconic, but the depression is chronic

[@kainevittulainen]

as someone who's had a rough relationship with my dad for a lot of reasons both within his control and outside his control, this part of the game absolutely broke me. The realization that someone you despised because you sincerely believed they were holding you back, and that all the things they did were out of spite, only to find out they were doing their goddamned best to protect you, to *_love_* you, to keep you safe and help you grow, and that they couldn't help but fuck up and beat themselves up for it just as much as you despise them for it, if not more, it rips your heart into a million peice. I almost couldnt finish the game because of how hard it hit.

[@frog4307]

It's crazy hard to think of your parents as flawed people on the same level as you consider yourself one (at least in my experience)

[@kainevittulainen]

@@frog4307 agreed, I feel like we always imagine our parents as being these superhuman forces of nature, but then when you get older you start to realize they're just people like you are, they're not perfect or infallible, they're just trying their best.

[@averyrathbun3859]

I think the game isn't really trying to use this moment to let Brad off the hook. The fact remains that he was a bad father, and the way he raised Buddy was traumatizing for her. He thought a lot more about himself then his daughter which was a major theme of The Painful. I think this moment is really meant to add ambiguity to the picture, not let him off for his sins. I think it's to show how even with all the baggage that comes with an abusive parent, on some level, because they took care of you and shaped your view of the world at such a vulnerable time in your life, it can be hard to hold resentment and not to on some level feel a unspeakable and powerful connection to them, even after all the pain. Atleast that was my experience as someone with an abusive upbringing. It's never as black and white as it is in media to hate someone who raised you, it always hurts.

rest easy brad, you gave it your all

[@aqualitymeme9476]

I come back to this song once in a while when I need to cry. There’s no particular reason for needing it, but I always feel better after letting loose to this. LISA will always have a reserved spot in my fractured little heart.

[@jeancarlosdossantossilva8516]

I feel you bro... I'm and old man, with pretty much no expectations, living only with guilty and regret about bad decisions in the past that made some important people suffer or let down... and sometimes i listen this music and some others just to cry, and I don't know why, but doing this make those feelings less unbearable. I hope you and everyone who loves this games are doing well.

[@NuniaBiznaz]

I think tears actually contain hormones or similar substances produced by the body associated with stress and sadness, so when you cry, you might as well be physically venting out your negative emotion. I'm not 100% on this, but I am pretty sure it's the case, and I'm also VERY certain that it's been studied and proven that crying might make your emotions worse in the moment, but greatly improves your mood afterward.

“And for a moment…” “Fuck…” “I got to know just how much my dad loved me”

[@moonadoo1006]

One the few games that genuinely made me cry

[@JazzBlood]

This song always reminded me of my relationship with my mother she was never the best mother but I knew she tried, eventually I started to hate her I didn't know why but I just did and at one point I questioned myself why was I so mean and rude to her and honestly I'm not sure what happened to me when I was young I was hit hard with depression I just cried and felt horrible, and at one point I really wanted to end my life, everything felt like it was all my fault but it wasn't and I think I just wanted someone to blame and so I blamed my mother because you really only seem to remember the bad before the good. so after a couple of years, I decided to talk with my mother I told her all the things about how I felt during those years and how much guilt and shame I was filled with, and I thought she would hate me when I told her what I said but she didn't, she started crying and she said she didn't want me to feel like that she didn't know. she's always going to be my mom sure she's not the best parent but she's trying and it was just a horrible series of unfortunate events that affected me and our lives and I'm glad that we had that talk, and I apologize and so did she I wouldn't be the person I am without her so for better or for worse she's always going to be my mom.

[@HamHamPangPangCustomer]

I'm on the same boat with you, I'm on the same boat way too much with you I'm going to sink in my emotions over how much my parents even tho they're flawed em their all to provide me a good life

[@mrsauceman6825]

The song that turns you from man into sad boy

[@valentinlopezmunoz8269]

People are always talking about generational trauma and how their parents have hurt them, hell, even I've said those things myself but I won't deny that even if they've hurted me they both loved me with all their hearts Again, every experience is unique but this game made me realize I was too rough with them

[@slasherlovingay2488]

I haven't cried this hard since Mother 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 and OMORI

[@Gigas0101]

Of those three games, Mother 3 is the one where I can feel the weight of that statement. No crying 'til the end is impossible, got me too real quick.

[@JackAttack64]

OMORI hits so hard

[@Booserz]

Blud fucking with his mental health with these games

[@paul_particularlyunhappynut]

Sad, but I wish Buddy showed some kind of remorse during this. Her having a crying sprite like Brad had during his Rando army fight, now THAT would've crushed me

[@master2497]

While that would've been neat I think this fight occuring at all is her showing remorse. I mean the fight is purely mental so this is really her mental image of brad. Having Brad say he's sorry to her in her head is really just her forgiving him, in the way that you do when you're having an extreme psychedelic trip I guess.

[@paul_particularlyunhappynut]

@@master2497 i mean, probably yeah. you can argue that. but she DID rip off his head in that one ending. so... plus it doesn't really help that i find buddy a rather unlikable character in joyful. tbf the odds are MASSIVELY against her, but still

[@franciscoOrellana29]

@@paul_particularlyunhappynut Yes but I feel like it makes sense, since by the end of Painful Buddy had already been consuming some more Joy so her personality change was an effect of her feelings against Brad and his addiction to Joy combined

​@@master2497 brilliant reading from a Lambda-pfp chad

Oh good it's back. Last upload got taken down for some reason. This is the superior version of the song. Thanks for upload!

[@SirenVA]

I’ve never felt more emotion from a piece of media in my life. these games are absolute masterpieces.

[@antori11]

This song always brings me tears 😢 i didn't have the best childhood with my father but since growing up and playing the game my view of it changed, he was trying his best just like everyone else

[@necroniic1909]

oh my god thank you pardner

[@Volition-is-offline]

The only thing I wish in this life is that I cared for someone as much as Brad cared for buddy for a long time I’ve thought that my sister could be the person to get me through each next day but in the end I’ve just noticed that the amount we’ve cared about each other is completely different I’ve tried to be supportive throughout the past few years of her life and I know that earlier in her life wasn’t the best but I tried my hardest to change but there is a problem in doing so, I should have focused on myself and my own life I hope others can learn from this mistake Brad is not a good person but he tried his best (at least in the ending where he quit joy) after he felt that he didn’t do enough and I’ve felt that as well or I’m just projecting myself onto him it’s why LISA is important. I missed out on life myself the joys of it and the real pleasures so please while you have time chase real happiness with all your heart don’t be like me never be like me or you’ll be stuck in the same regret and unending misery of false happiness thank you for reading hopefully you’ll take this to heart and have a brilliant rest of your life chasing the the things that truly matter which is yourself and your hopes and dreams

thank you so much for posting this version!

My biological father ran out on my mom after he got caught cheating. Ran out on my half brother too, who is only 3 months older than I am. He's buried at Fort Snelling for his service in the Navy and his plot number is 665. Nice one, dad.

[@jojofanatico6928]

i have never played Lisa, cuz its not my kind of game, but I love it. I have watched a lot of videos of it, about the story and stuff, and, even though I havent played it, its the only game that has made me cry... several times. its just so crude, so raw, but so emotional...

This is so much better than the soundtrack version

[@teraflying]

thank you for uploafing the goat version

[@GarryDumblowski]

I was about to be like "What's different about it?", because often, the Soundtrack version plays at a slightly different speed from the in-game version (ex: Arrow to the Head), but then I got to 2:40. I'm... genuinely kind of confused, because I remember hearing the organ in-game instead of the... i think that's a cello? Is this just from an older version of the game?

[@anchorus3454]

The version that plays in-game uses strings at the end while the version in the soundtrack and official upload uses an organ. You might be misremembering the soundtrack version playing in the game.

[@GarryDumblowski]

@@anchorus3454 I definitely remember the soundtrack version playing in the game... guess the only way to find out is to replay joyful to verify :O

[@AppaBoy]

@@GarryDumblowski youre likely thinking of randos dead which plays right before hes my dad and has the same melody, that song uses organs in the game version.

[@GarryDumblowski]

@@AppaBoy ...Maybe????? I don't remember Rando's Dead even sticking out to me that much.

i really don't understand why Austin had to put the horrible sounding piano type instrument that i can not remember the name of at the end of every song that has this melody, it totally kills any emotion that the song had and that had given to the listener.

it's like a church organ, yeah it is so bad
