[@hmgirlpopuri5819]

One thing that's really cool with Life Will Change is that for a large chunk of the game, it's used in the build up to the finale for each chapter. But, it's an instrumental only version. Then after a certain point, it fires up again and suddenly it has lyrics.

[@eggsnbacon7502]

The reason for this is that as the interrogation in the game goes on and the drugs wear off, the protagonist starts to remember things more clearly, hence lyrics being added to a few of the core songs over time.

[@domothebro2435]

I actually prefer the instrumental version more

[@wnabi8469]

its so cool because i like the lyrics versions key more than the instrumental so saving it for key moments was huge

[@kevinliar4228]

7:13 "Persona has a lot of dance to it" so should we tell him about the spinoffs LOL

It's time for Jesse DANCING ALL NIGHT

[@thechronodragon5678]

Only 4’s, tbh. There’s plenty of remixes from the other games I love, but Dancing All Night is the only one I actually like as a game.

[@kevin13cabello]

I still remember the week when persona 5 came out I couldn't get "Wake up, Get up, Get out there", "Life will Change", and "Rivers in the Desert" out of my head for weeks or maybe even months! Lol! Persona osts are too good. One of my favorite lines, that you pointed out too, is the "I'm just as real as, I'm just as dangerous, As you, so know you'll find!". Something about that just sounds so raw to me (if that makes any sense).

[@kevin13cabello]

I meant to say the week the game came out I couldn't stop listening to these songs and they were stuck in my head for months lol.

I can’t wait for you to hear “I Believe” and “Throw Away Your Mask”. They are two of my favorite video game songs ever

[@rochellepaws]

"I believe" is amazing!

And Colors FLying High.

[@Fulldre]

I believe aka Wake Up Get Up Get Out There pt 3

[@AlexTheRed1985]

Yesssssss

[@darkmirror21]

Keep Your Faith/Throw Away Your Mask combined is honestly my preferred way of listening to this song. The guitar riffs on Keep Your Faith is just absolutely amazing.

[@marche800]

The connections between Wake up, Get up, Get out the and Life will change are one of the coolest things about the game. Wake up Get up is like a call to action "if you hold on, life won't change", it plays during the opening of the game, life will change is the answer to that call, It plays when you are actively making that change happen "cause we know that life will change" they're no longer holding on they're "out there swatting lies in the making". There's actually a 3rd part to this leitmotif in the song I Believe from persona 5 Royal. I recommend you Check it out.

[@Vanilla-Suite]

My interpretation is because of the start of each song's chorus. WUGUGOT has "Just imagine we're out there" while Life will Change has "So you know that we're out there". I take this to mean that WUGUGOT is more like the theme song of the Phantom Thieves as an idea. The people believe in the thieves to save the day eventually and that belief is what inspires and gives them strength. Life will Change plays when the thieves are taking action finally and especially in Qliphoth world. They arent an idea anymore, theyre here and theyre going to take the heart of anyone who tries to abuse their power to hurt others or all of humanity. The entirety of LWC is a lot more direct to show this too. To summarize, WUGUGOT is the theme of the thieves as an idea and LWC is the theme of the thieves in their actions.

[@brs121094]

"Can't hold on or life won't change" The "can't hold on" part is important as well as just a couple lines later "Now we know that life will change" which iirc is not in Wake Up Get Up Get Out There, which is the opening theme for P5, so Life Will Change is after of course.

[@brs121094]

"Took the mask off to feel free, fought it out in the debri Now we know that life will change"

[@FF-tp7qs]

Persona has a lot of dance, you could say it makes you feel like Dancing All Night

[@arielmartinez94]

The song "i believe" from Persona 5 Royal is like a sequel to this song, it plays a lot with some of the tunes, lyrics and aspects of life will change, you might be able to tell, i highly recommend it

[@mirageowl]

Not really, this is in the original PS3 game as well. I'm pretty sure this is the song that plays in battles when you have progressed a dungeon/story enough to be able to face a boss / steal a heart, meaning life will, infact, change

[@arielmartinez94]

One of the best things persona 5 does is hyping up the moments before a boss fight in every palace. This song, imo, gets my energy flowing every time I prep myself before the fight. And Speaking of boss fights, "Blooming Villain" is a boss theme which I HIGHLY recommend, as well as the other peoples suggestions (I Believe, Throw Away Your Mask) :D Keep it up!

[@antoinejulienne5440]

Every single time I enter the palace to fight the boss on the last day with this playing I really be like : your time has come MOTHERFUCKER 😭😭😭

[@datpuertorican2495]

I would love to see a playthrough of this. Sadly it's more than 100 hours+ its a huge commitment but man it's one of the greatest games of all time.

[@J2ojuiced95]

Running and battling through the Palace’s with the instrumental version of this playing was one of the most hype parts of P5. Looking forward to when Jesse eventually checks out I Believe aka Life Will Change part 2.

[@yamatosama6028]

Alright we need to start sending you the different palace songs now, I reccomend starting with Futaba's palace theme!

Granted her palace was probably my favorite too, so I can't say it's objectively better. I'm bias and I admit that. But let's be real, that guitar does something different. And i want to see how Jesse feels about it. Whims of Fate is a great song, but I don't think it's 'different' enough from what we've seen from him on P5. Price is my second favorite though so I won't even be mad if that one shows up

[@phntmthf5505]

Since you liked this, I cannot recommend enough that you listen to “I Believe” from Persona 5 Royal. “Life Will Change” plays during the final assault on each dungeon in the game, and “I Believe” is a souped up version of that for the dungeon added to P5 by Royal. It is, in my opinion, the single best song from any Persona game soundtrack.

[@ironwoodkid9577]

Persona 5 has the kind of music that, if you're a musician, you can't help but whip out your instrument and play along. It's soooo groovy

[@kimuiko]

You should totally do I believe it's so heartfelt ♥️ it's actually amazing 👏

[@ZorkasIshmael]

Ah Persona 5, the game that I spent my entire summer of 2017 no-lifing... Absolutely worth it and will do it again for Persona 6!

[@rezahydra]

Life Will Change as is evident is a remix of the opening of base Persona 5, Wake Up Get Up Get Out There. However unlike that song, it isn't focusing on the bad and good in equal measure. It's focusing on the confrontation of. Fitting then that where this song plays is after you clear out a route to the "Treasure" of a "Palace" (which only makes sense why I'm putting in quotations with context so just roll with it lol) and decide to enact the heist of said "treasure" before the deadline is over, always climaxing with a bossfight against said "Palace's" owner. a true confrontation of good and evil in a robin hood-esq way many overlook, just like the song. And also why unlike the rest of the game, whenever Royal came out, this song got a sequel. But I get ahead of myself.

[@KingwolfLotts1]

7:16. Yeah persona series has a lot dance rythm game. Please some one request one of the song that in dance rythm persona game. My favorite is the backside tv with lotus juice version. That's really banger

[@CatarseClub]

Great video. Life Will Change it's so amazing, and when she appears inside the game... It's a magical experience. Best of all, P5R brought "Life Will Change 2.0" with I Believe. Persona's music is so amazing... AAAAAAAAA I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

[@kittyphones]

YES, Life Will Change is basically a reprise of Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There, and its so cool that you noticed!! Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There was the opening song of the game, and Life Will Change plays at the climax of every arc right before the boss fight- it does an awesome job at reinforcing the big themes of the game and getting you super pumped for the arc boss. Here's the comparison of both songs' choruses: From WU,GU,GOT first chorus- "Just imagine you're out there Swatting lies in the making Can't move fast without breaking Can't hold on or life won't change" From WU,GU,GOT second chorus: "Let your voices ring out, yeah Take the mask off and be free Find yourself in the debris If you hold on, life won't change" Life Will Change first chorus: "So you know that we're out there Swatting lies in the making Can't move fast without breaking Can't hold on or life won't change And our voices ring out, yeah Took the mask off to feel free Fought it out in the debris Now we know that life will change" The second LWC chorus is basically the same, with a few small word changes. It's really neat! Also, the "life will/won't change" thing is basically saying that if you refuse to let go of your current life, then nothing will get better ("If you hold on, life won't change"). You have to take a risk and step out of your comfort zone, because if nobody tries to change anything, then of course nothing will ever change. A lot of people are willing to sacrifice positive change for the sake of maintaining their personal stability- they believe that if things need to get better, then somebody more qualified will handle it. But thats a fallacy of bystander mentality, and that's what these songs are pointing out with those lines! If you want things to change, then *you have to change things*, plain and simple.

[@weertangel7231]

This song if what truly makes Persona 5, it has pretty everything that defines that game no matter who or where u are it just grabs u and takes u for a ride :) And if u ever have the chance, play the game, u won't regret it.

[@logandaley1544]

I’ve been hooked on Persona 5 music since I first heard the opening theme. I love that it’s so bouncy and funky.

[@SonictheHammons]

I always thought of Life Will Change as kind of a sequel to Wake Up Get Up Get Out There. One has the chorus in present/future tense while the other has it in past tense. I think it makes even more sense when given the context of when both songs are played. Awesome vid 🧢👍🏽

I hear Life Will Change and suddenly I want to replay P5, it's been about a year and half since I last played through it so I'd say it's been long enough.

[@Kyouske_42]

Nice, I really enjoyed all of P5 music as well when I played it. For the future I suggest looking into the Persona 5 Strikers music, especially the originals from it line Counterstrike and Daredevil. They just turned things up to 11 and beyond ^^

[@voadoracobra5111]

Yes, please, go super in depth in every video. We want to know what you like, what music/instruments choices you found interesting etc.

[@mirageowl]

I'll try to describe the context without spoilers or explanations about the game too much: "Wake Up Get Up Get Out There" is the intro song for the game, so it comes first. The context of *this* song in the game is that, it replaces combat music when you progress enough in a chapter that your characters are sure that life, infact, will change with this last push. It's sort of a triumphant energy boost before you get to face a boss.

[@kainthe4th]

Well regarded long after it’s release, Legend of Dragoon has a great title song. “If you still believe” very similar to metal gear solid’s “the best is yet to come”

[@JessesAuditorium]

lol

[@Malacite]

It's between this and Last Surprise for my favorite P5 track. This song is just so hype, I love it. And the neat thing is, you don't actually hear the lyrics until you get to one of the later Palaces (dungeons) - not saying who because spoilers, I know there are people who haven't played P5 yet and spoiling it would be criminal. But this is the song that always plays whenever you enter a Palace for the last time to steal the ruler's treasure.

[@The_Jantof]

With the genre discussion, I've often heard Persona 5's music referred to as acid jazz, which takes elements of funk, soul, hip-hop, jazz and disco. I actually think that's (somehow) a little restrictive for P5's overall soundtrack, which also takes a lot of punk rock and even bossa nova cues at times. I guess the real takeaway is that it's insane how eclectic the soundtrack is while still being so cohesive.

[@TrueForm]

The way I interpret these two songs is that because Wake up, Get up, Get out there plays at the beginning of the game, its lyrics reflect the singer (and as the game progresses, eventually the protagonists) trying to motivate others to fight against society and stand up for themselves (Persona 5's main theme is 'Rebellion against the injustices of society' so examples of villains would be corrupt ceo's abusing power, etc.) and Life Will Change is sung from the point of view from the protagonists, after finally gaining the power to stand up to these injustices, towards these villains, hence the 'I'm just as real as, I'm just as dangerous, as you' 'As our power grows, trying to stop us shows (you) might as well go try'n stop time' It's the theme song of a people who now know who they are and know how to stand up for themselves. Almost every line reflects these themes in some way.

Fun fact about metal heads: we don't like metal. We like music with well constructed chord progressions, key signatures and changes, time signatures, dope ass rhythms, and killer melodies. We don't really care about the exact genre of music. Yeah sure metal often gives us that, but anything that meets the criteria is great and we love it.

[@temporalwolf7054]

So, Persona 5 is based around the Phantom Thief motif, with each of the characters' personas being famous thieves - Arsene Lupin, Goemon, Captain Kidd, etc - and this is the theme of putting these big larger than life heists in motion. Like, imagine sneaking around a casino in Vegas, creeping around the rafters while various mythological creatures/gods patrol beneath you. I highly recommend giving Persona 5 a shot, though I would personally suggest going for the original version over Royal. (Some of the added content in Royal kinda ruined a couple character arcs if you ask me)
