This music is so good, I wish Hylics was a real game

It's Wayne's World. We just live in it.

[qwertyqeys]

this song characterizes wayne as what we deep down knew he was all along. A sexy biker

mason lindroth: okay so its a bonus track dont go to wild

Her playing golf with little Wayne in the ending checks out seeing as she’s already accustomed to hanging out with a different Wayne each time they meet up

You know, sometimes dying over and over again is not as bad when you are with good company.

[GenesisSaturna]

Y'know what, I'll say it.
Chuck MUST'VE known what he was doing while making this. Certain parts of this song have that stereotypically "sexy" sound of guitar. WAYNE IS THE EPITOME OF COOL DUDE. LEATHER JACKET, GUITAR, SOMETIMES EVEN SUNGLASSES. this guy is MEANT to make you jealous.

After saving the world twice, I think we can all agree our main cast deserved their own theme's. Thanks Mason, and Chuck for these amazing compositions!

[joaquin]

dude, this is just a bonus song from the soundtrack of a niche indie rpg, y'all didn't had to make it a masterpiece

[pokehybridtrainer]

Such a strange feeling this song gives me. It gives me the image of Wayne just wanting to relax at home watching TV or jamming on a guitar, but has to go and save the world as a chore. Least the journey is with friends.

I love that this song is named An Endless Cycle. It's pretty well known by now that the game, or at least the dynamic between Wayne and Gibby, is a metaphor for the cycles of the moon. Wayne representing a waning crescent, and Gibby representing a waning gibbous. It's made clear in both their head shapes and their names. Judging by the sort of colony of Wayne "clones" in the beginning of Hylics 2, the idea of multiple Gibbys being out there as well isn't too farfetched.

Maybe the pattern of a Gibby taking the throne and a Wayne overthrowing him really is An Endless Cycle.

[silfist]

"An Endless Cycle" Yeah, i know. Because I keep playing the song on repeat endlessly.

[galaxic]

Moonage Lobotomy is an insane title for an album

[summerthyme]

wayne's life is the definition of "ah shit here we go again"

[IxodesPersulcatus]

Gibby must have been terrified hearing Wayne's boss theme.

[Trenchhhj]

damn wayne, you know how to save the world AND hit pretty sick ass licks. shine on you crazy diamond! fuckin love this game

[namuhton]

Got this song on recommendations, and I just discovered the world behind it.
lucky day

[notagainmanstop]

The names for the other characters themes are more blatant but this one Is in reference to how the Wayne’s seem to be infinitely propagating themselves into a species at the Wayne house

[kadn]

This was my top song in 2022…I listened to it for roughly 18 hours straight while traveling LOL. 2 years later and I’m still obsessed

[desolationofprog]

To die and reincarnate for all of eternity, constantly waning but never new.

This is a goddamn excellent theme for Wayne! I'm so happy to finally hear the wild jammage that you and Chuck crafted together! Love how confident the music starts out, what with that wailing guitar, only for it to be overtaken by distortion over and over again yet still retain that steady initial beat throughout. Also I can hear a call back to "Fancy Meat Computer" and "Look Ma, I Fly Now!" at about 1:46 in. It could be merely a reference to the persistent rivalry between Wayne and Gibby, or maybe, just maybe, the two do have some things in common with one another after all...
