Light up the night! Don't forget to read the lyrics: lyrics.wikia.com/The_Protomen:... The Protomen - Act II: The Father of Death - Light Up The Night uploaded in HD quality for your viewing pleasure. If you like this, buy the album!
I've watched that video TWICE my dude, and honestly, this song playing over that clip was literally perfect and how it should've gone in the actual game had this song not been about Mega Man
@@psyxypher3881 I know dude... but it's been so painfully long I've literally gone from hopeful to angry. Why the fuck would they release two amazing tracks from act 3 and then just disappear??
This has been one of my favorite songs for years, and The Wolf Among Us is one of my favorite games. So seeing it play in TWAU2 trailer made me geek out so much. I love The Protomen and Telltale, what an awesome and unexpected combination
@@nobudgetproductions9987 it’s usually spelled Bigby. It’s obviously just a wink to his actual identity though, something that won’t raise eyebrows among the mundies.
ME NEITHER! Thanks Spotify's 'Discover Weekly'. But I'll be honest; I TOTALLY montaged this shit in my head with The Wolf Among Us/Fables before this collab. :D
Everyone's talkin' about - Gut's 7 year long boat journey - Liquid Ocelet's GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS - Stu Pickles making pudding at 7 AM - VGHS (whoever those guys are) Man, I just wanna see how Joe's doin'...
I like the allusion Light makes to Wily's comment in The Good Doctor: "If you replace the working parts what you get is a different machine" to "If you destroy the working parts what you get is a broken machine" Also the comments about the man who turns the wheels. Basically, this implies Light is still haunted by the conversation he and Wily had that fateful night.
This city's sleeping like a soldier trapped inside of an iron lung Machines can keep you breathing, but what happens when you find a new war's begun? Flip a switch and turn it off, you won't be able to breathe So either way you're a casualty I've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but gasoline And with a spark, it's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen Cut me down or let me run, either way it's all gonna burn The only way that they'll ever learn We've got to turn it off, flip a switch Light up the night There is a city that this darkness can't hide There are the embers of a fire that's gone out But I can still feel the heat on my skin This mess we're in, well you and I Maybe you and I We can still make it right Maybe we can bring back the light At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down over all there is And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist It's like they gathered up the city, they sold it to the devil, and now It's gone to hell and they wonder how Well, a friend once told me: men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels Now the wheels are spinning out of control; what would they do if we held them still? If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine A beacon of light from a burning screen Light it up Light up the night There is a city that this darkness can't hide There are the embers of a fire that's gone out But I can still feel the heat on my skin This mess we're in, well you and I Maybe you and I We can light up the night We can light up the night. There is a city that this darkness can't hide. There are the embers of a fire that's gone out, But I can still feel the heat on my skin This mess we're in, well you and I Maybe you and I We can light up the night There is a city that this darkness can't hide There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city And we will stand in the light We will stand in the light, you and I Maybe you and I We can bring back the light There is a city that this darkness can't hide There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city And we will stand in the light We will stand in the light, you and I You and I We can bring back the light.
@@CAPSLOCKPRIME Well, its technically written about Light creating Mega Man to kill Wily and stop him from controlling everything, but its kinda the same thing. Lol
@@IzraelGravesno, tom doesn't make mega man until after proto man which he gets the inspiration to make after Joe's death, so this is really a song about starting a riot lol
When you just want to see people discussing this music but you have no idea who Demo D or Guts is or why everyone's so obsessed with getting off a boat
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4VnLY_iQxGU.html This should clear things up if you still were wondering. Basically there’s a character named Guts in a manga called Berserk who got on a boat. Then the series went on hiatus and when it came back the pace slowed to a crawl, with basically a bunch of filler of Guts doing stuff on the boat. This period of time lasted close to a decade (our time, not in the comic). So when he finally got off the damn boat it was a pretty big deal, and the youtuber linked above made that video to commemorate the Ordeal of the Boat, using this fantastic song in it. So that’s why people are taking about all that stuff.
Whoa, what? How is this related to Berserk? I love this song and come to listen and see the top comment is about my favourite work of fiction of all time? Enlighten me! Also RIP Miura :(
@@Malumbrus there was a video that the RU-vidr, Demolition D, made that was about Guts getting off the boat. Demo may have another name for RU-vid, but if you look up Demo D and Berserk, you'll find the video. The thumbnail is Guts sitting in the window seal.
Me too, never heard of them before i heard this song, i thought of meatloaf meats like sisters of mercy instrumentals on repeat, if i drove, id crash to this song😃👍
I'm so glad VGHS used these guys' music so I could discover it! This song and some of the other ones they have have that awesome 80s sound, and I didn't even know they weren't decades old until I looked them up! The guitar solo in this song just has so much awesome feel to it; I love it!
"There is a city that this darkness can't hide" in Dr. Light's voice at the end always gives me goosebumps. It's like he's finally buying what Joe is trying to say.
@@Skona99 Joe is supposed to be the character who'll become Protoman according to The Protomen "lore". I'm not sure if they just invented he's original name or took it from somewhere else
@@alexis3084 Definitely based on Sniper Joe, has to be, right? He was the green bot with a gun and a shield. Pretty famous enemy in the original games.
"Well, a friend once told me: men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels" "If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine" Man, I love this callback to The Good Doctor.
I probably said something here before, but I love the beat. There's a fury, a dispair, a hope, and against all odds, maybe, just maybe, they can make it. if this is isn't the sound track you deserve, this is the soundtrack you need
Joe...the hero that was left in man. Alas he died fighting to wake people up. He wasn't afraid, because he knew that there were things worse than death. I think that's what makes him such a compelling character. I can only imagine what things plus be like if mega man or protoman knew about joe
This is why I wish there was a protomen comic. I'd love to see these characters and they're stories expanded upon. Joe is definitely one of my faves. Right next to protoman.
I wish we could see some more official art of characters, personally. Like, the art included in the poster that came with the act 1 vinyl. It has a shot of Light building Protoman, the girl from the Hope Rides Alone music video, and Wily's army. Or say, more Protomen themed art from John DeLucca.
it still gives me goosebumps. whenever I hear this song, I think about how Brian and Law were dancing and Ted and DK were racing. VGHS, best web series ever.
critically acclaimed Manga called berserk where the creator has been on a hiatus in an area of the plot where the main characters are on a pilgrimage onboard a boat which was broken recently. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4VnLY_iQxGU.html
To me, the most amazing part of this song is how deep, emotional, and well-written the lyrics are. They really do tell a story, I can feel the emotion. Incredible.
>Smash 4 Wii U comes out >HOLY SHIT ALL THAT FUCKING MUSIC >Shitton of Megaman tracks >One of them is unlocked by completing one of the harder challenges >It's Light up the Night >Nintendo bought Megaman and the licensing rights to The Protomen's music >Capcom dies >Jesus rises from the dead >Obama gets assassinated >World peace
I love how well this band lives up to the game's mythology even while changing the plot and tone entirely. In the lyrics booklet that details the rock-opera like lyrics and stage details for what the actors would be doing in the script, it says that after Joe's fall in the aptly titled "The Fall", that Light picks up his helmet and gets to work on fixing the future. The helmet, I think it implies that the helmet is to be used for Protoman - who becomes the basis for Wily's Sniper "Joe". ; )
I saw The Protomen at PAX prime, back when PAX was good and not just another commercial expo, and lemme tell you, they're amazing live. The day after the main show, they played in a small conference room in the convention center and did a bunch of covers, and it was even better in that small intimate space as opposed to the big theater.
I saw them once at PAX East, in Boston. A friend of mine had been trying to get me into The Protomen for years, and that was the first time I actually listened to them. They blew me away, and thankfully, I got a signed vinyl out of it. One of the proudest parts of my collection.
cool song! wouldn't it be funny if it was, i don't know, maybe used as a name for a level in a game about a robot hungry for blood scouring hell to keep itself alive? yeah..
I got you on the Metal Gear Solid reference. There's a video named Metal Gear Solid 4 Was a Mistake in which this song was used for the climax where liquid ocelot does the thing. There are several timestamps in the comments, but it happens an hour and thirty nine minutes into the video and is fantastically executed.
Lyrics: This city's sleeping like a soldier Trapped inside of an iron lung. Machines can keep you breathing But what happens when you find a new war's begun? Flip a switch and turn it off, you won't be able to breathe. So either way you're a casualty. I've got this burning like my veins are filled With nothing but gasoline. And with a spark, It's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen. Cut me down or let me run, Either way it's all gonna burn... The only way that they'll ever learn We've got to turn it off, Flip a switch. Light up the night! There is a city that this darkness can't hide. There are the embers of a fire that's gone out, But I can still feel the heat on my skin This mess we're in, well you and I, Maybe you and I, We can still make it right. Maybe we can bring back the light. At the heart of the city there is a Building that looks down over all there is. And the man in the tower controls It all without raising a single fist. It's like they gathered up the City, they sold it to the devil, and now It's gone to hell and they wonder how. Well, a friend once told me: Men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels. Now the wheels are spinning out of Control; what would they do if we held them still? If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine. A beacon of light from a burning screen. Light it up. Light up the night. There is a city that this darkness can't hide. There are the embers of a fire that's gone out, But I can still feel the heat on my skin. This mess we're in, well you and I, Maybe you and I, We can light up the night. There is a city that this darkness can't hide. There are the embers of a fire that's gone out, But I can still feel the heat on my skin. This mess we're in, well you and I, Maybe you and I, We can light up the night. There is a city that this darkness can't hide There is a fire that will burn through the Streets of the city, and we will stand in the light. We will stand in the light, You and I. You and I. We can bring back the light.
a lot of level names are based off of songs so it's 7-2's name that references this (and it's directly stated that it's based off of specifically this song so yeah)
Omg I’m so excited to come back to this song and see a whole bunch of new comments regarding this song in a trailer?? If you’re new to this band PLEASE listen to the rest of this album and their other works. They’re incredible.
We never had any, you or I. At least that's what they'd have you think. Truth is, you are the master of your own destiny and could turn from this at any time. But amenities like computers, internet, heat, and safety are pretty nice, no?
_"Liquid, stop!"_ _"Fire!"_ ... **song starts playing** _"The System is mine! Your guns and your weapons are no longer your own! Behold..._ *_Guns of the Patriots."_*
D180223 where won't I find you. First I follow you on Facebook, then watch some of your videos and read getter Robo thanks to you. Now you invade my music tastes. It's nice to see you again

I just did a race, listened to this music on repeat for 20 minutes before race, normally dude would've destroyed me, but I shredded his ass in sweats. This is true inspiration

This mess we're in, well you and I, maybe you and I, We can light up the night. They made their plans carefully. Spending hours on the details. If Joe could reach the main telescreen on top of the tower in the center of the city - Wily's tower - he could take out the central transmitter. He could stop the broadcasts going out to the satellite screens. He could stop the broadcasts going out to the machines. He could take out Albert's eyes. With Wily blinded, Light could reenter the city undetected. He could complete the task that he had obsessed over for more than twenty years. He could kill Albert Wily. A prisoner caged on the edge of the city, this was Light's chance. His chance not only at freedom, but to exact revenge. To kill his judge, his warden, and the man who'd built his prison. To destroy the man who'd taken everything from him - his life's work, his name, his love. Together: We can light up the night! There is a city that this darkness can't hide. There are the embers of a fire that's gone out, But I can still feel the heat on my skin. This mess we're in, well you and I, maybe you and I, We can light up the night. There is a city that this darkness can't hide There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city, and we will stand in the light. We will stand in the light, you and I. You and I. We can bring back the light. With Wily's assassin out of the way, they had a small and rapidly closing window. The sniper robot would soon be missed. Their plan finally secure, Light locked the green helmet under Joe's chin and handed him the bag of explosives. "Go!" he shouted.
