that moment when you realize this is _joker's_ boss theme

[@mrcopycat2355]

Like others said, the transition is smooth. I forgot vocals would show up and they surprised me, in a good way

[@audacious_Hoax]

same thing for me, knew what was coming and it still caught me off guard

[@battlemageazulio1019]

Same- made me jump, even. Then I immediately resumed headbobbing. xD

[@chocolatemilk7390]

Scared the shit outta me when the vocals kicked in, but then again, never in my life have I ever felt so motivated to do something

[@garr_inc]

I had to do a proper version after the guy I heard it from had not delivered on merging end and beginning.

[@arlynnfolke]

[@babydsnake]

That frickin transition man. Goosebumps..

[@garr_inc]

Thanks! This is exactly what I wanted to create.

You can just say fuck, your mom ain’t reading the comments

[@JawsFG_]

4:06 Now... I'm motivated Wait wrong song

[@noidea3193]

Clean. That transition was *clean.*

[@garr_inc]

Precisely why I decided to make this mashup. Transitions in other videos were subpar. And I knew I could do better. So I did.

[@garr_inc]

Also, thank you for appreciating this creation!

That just means we can go on an encore!

[@WednesdayMan]

this is what I am listening to while fighting Senator Armstrong in Metal Gear Rising Revengeance on Revengeance difficulty. just perfect. Edit: I finally defeated Senator Armstrong on Revengeance difficulty.

[@garr_inc]

Hey, congratulations! Revengeance is no joke, as I heard. Pretty much anything one-shots you on Armstrong, right?

[@WednesdayMan]

@@garr_inc yeah those one shots are a pain. blocking, dodging and good positioning are important. additionally getting and equipping HP nanopastes is useful as they auto heal you when you hit 0 HP

[@deadtortoise9268]

Wait a minute that’s not the right senator…

[@iFlashboy]

I feel like Shido and Armstrong would be friends.

[@garr_inc]

Depends on whether the inward-turned Japan could coexist with the strength-ruling US.

[@zink8504]

I like that you bass boosted this. Makes the ost hit even harder

[@garr_inc]

I used the melodies I found at the time. Haven't done jack to the bass. Still, thanks for the compliment.

[@nhatphinguyen7785]

If Monolith Solf make Project X Zone 3, i imagine a chapter called Rivers in the Desert where you using Joker and Crow to fight Shadow Shido along with Snake and Raiden fight Senator Armstrong.

[@VergilGaming19]

Peak gaming

[@MiguelS8393]

I really want to be able to replay this battle again.

[@Ziroikabi]

Honestly this song is so god damn hype. The transition is so clean man I listen to this pretty much daily

[@garr_inc]

Transition being clean is the entire reason for this video. I wasn't satisfied with existing versions and made one myself. Thank you for the kind words!

[@Fygee]

Best version of these two versions that exists. Major kudos.

[@TehWildcardBeats]

underrated video. this is amazing! working on my own version with scramble versions added in.

[@garr_inc]

It is usually underrated because the channel is not big, the video is done late, and other versions exist. Send me the link when you're done with your version!

[@davinlee3412]

You lied to us for 2 years😢

[@hillmor8635]

Yep, typing in this version was the best idea I've had in a long time.

[@garr_inc]

Thank you for visiting my less watched but higher quality version!

[@Luipaard005]

Adding this to my gym playlist, thank you.

[@garr_inc]

You're welcome! Now I need to train my music crafting skills to make the same version of Life Will Change. Chopping and pitch shift is not enough for that composition.

[@lmrpirate5273]

I wonder how well this song would go in the event that the Phantom Thieves were battling the Shadow Selves and stealing the treasures of other notoriously evil villains in other franchises.

i loved that transition amazing quality keep it up

It's now, or it's never, and I've got to make my decision This time it could be my moment Is this a mirage or a chance to fulfill my mission? A river in a dry land The last ace in a lost hand A heartbeat for a tin man Oasis in a singed land I'm keeping the balance, but I'm standing On razor's edge now Move quick or my life is over One strike, just a feint, then I'm out of his field of vision Don't ask why I'm ready, but I'm ready To strike him down now A chance at a new start There's no time for indecision A river in a dry land The last ace in a lost hand When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet Now we need it A heartbeat for a tin man Oasis in a singed land Remind us what we're here for Creating new life Creating rivers in the desert My heart is a furnace Hot as hell in my world of conflict One goal is what keeps me going Take back what I lost to The bosses of greed and fear, yeah Don't ask why I'm ready, but I'm ready To take them down now The time for a new start Is constantly drawing nearer A river in a dry land The last ace in a lost hand When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet Now we need it A heartbeat for a tin man Oasis in a singed land Remind us what we're here for Creating new life Creating rivers in the desert When a cool drop of water's all I need Got to clear my head of anger and greed A place to refresh Heart and mind Can I find some time in Rivers in a dry land The last ace in a lost hand When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet Now we need it A heartbeat for a tin man Oasis in a singed land Remind us what we're here for Creating new life Creating rivers in the desert

thnks for this

[@garr_inc]

You're welcome! I needed a good version, and decided that the rest of ya deserve it as well. The video may not be the best, but back then I was just coming to gripes with my video editing software.

[@reasonablequit7535]

could you do one for life will change?

[@garr_inc]

That is my dream, but to combine the two versions of it I really need a good transition. One note is enough, but I cannot make it with my current skills without everything else sounding terrible (pitch shifting the guitar shifts the drums as well, and it hurts my ears). So that project is on hold until I can relearn some Cubase and make something much more decent to add into the tracks.
