You heard that right: Sonic 3 will feature the series’ best songs

Sonic Adventure 2 Fans, your time is quickly running out, as it’s been confirmed that the greatest song in all of the series’ games, “Live and Learn,” will appear in Sonic 3.

Last week, the first trailer for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was released, giving us mostly a good look at the game’s logo – as well as some casting confirmations. But more important is the audio that accompanies the trailer. About halfway through the 20-second trailer, a specific set of notes begins to play that sounds very much like the Sonic Adventure 2 theme song “Live and Learn.” As someone who counts Sonic Adventure 2: Battle as one of their all-time favorite games (no, I’m not kidding), I might be intimidated, especially considering it’s the first game fans have played since the first Something I’ve wanted since the movie. Now, according to Aftermath , we’ve also got confirmation that the trilogy will feature the iconic song.

Aftermath spoke with Crush 40 frontman Johnny Gioeli about the music trailer, and he confirmed that a deal has been struck for the song to appear on Sony Gram 3″. There is indeed a song placement deal with Paramount,” said Gioli. “How they use it is entirely up to them. …Paramount now has the legal rights to use ‘Live and Learn’. In any way they deem necessary. ” To explain, that means it could just be the original, or it could be a reinterpreted orchestral arrangement like the one heard in the trailer.

Of course, Crush 40 is also responsible for other well-known tracks such as Sonic Adventure 2’s “City Escape,” Sonic and the Black Knight’s “Knights of the Wind,” and Shadow the Hedgehog’s incredibly edgy ” I Am (All of Me)”.

Gioli also expressed his joy for fans of the classic Sonic song, saying, “This milestone doesn’t feel like it’s for me at all. It’s for the fans who have supported me and endured the wait!”
