Cyberpunk 2077 — Never Fade Away by SAMURAI (Refused)

we lost everything
we had to pay the price
yeah we lost everything
we had to pay the price

i saw in you what life was missing
you lit a flame that consumed my hate
I'm not one for reminiscing but
I'd trade it all for your sweet embrace

yeah
cause we lost everything
we had to pay the price

there's a canvas with two faces
of fallen angels who loved and lost
it was a passion for the ages
and in the end guess we paid the cost

a thing of beauty - i know
will never fade away
what you did to me - i know
said what you had to say
but a thing of beauty

will never fade away
will never fade away
will never fade away

i see your eyes, i know you see me
you're like a ghost how you're everywhere
I am your demon never leaving
a metal soul of rage and fear

that one thing that changed it all
that one sin that caused the fall

a thing of beauty - I know
will never fade away
what you did to me - I know
said what you had to say
but a thing of beauty - I know
will never fade away
and I'll do my duty - I know
somehow I'll find a way
but a thing of beauty
will never fade away
and I'll do my duty

yeah
we'll never fade away
we'll never fade away
we'll never fade away
we'll never fade away

before the game: what a song
after finished the game: *crying loudly*

[boi]

Damn, I'm already 74 and these old samurai recordings remind me of my old chooms.

[ivanivan]

Knowing this song was about Alt, and then becomes about V & Silverhand's journey, I praise the effort the team had in bringing Night city to life

[brandonorozco]

“Here lie Johnny Silverhand, the guy who saved my life”.

[Moonmonkian]

I don't care what they say, I'm having a great time in Night City.

[mikej]

This song is quoted in the Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook. I'm kinda fan boying right now.

[KurohigeDTeach]

Might as well be V's theme by the end of the game. Damn that ending.

[WladSidun]

Today is August 20, 2023. The day, when Johnny placed a nuclear bomb under the arasaka tower. It's time to drink "Johny Silverhand" and listen Samurai.

[Cerve]

Fun Fact: for a bug, I actually played the guitar in that mission completely naked. Can you immagine, what a performance!

[emmanuelwoo]

came for chippin in...
stayed for never fade away.

[ravixzczteroroga]

*no one asked for it, but everyone needed it*

[SelFreeLions]

The chord progression 1:06 to 1:24 is just beautiful, there’s no other way to put it, it’s straight up beautiful, that chord progression itself is “A thing of beauty”

[ΧρήστοςΤσαντίκος]

Godamn this song hits me harder than Adam Smasher hits V.

[Nich]

I'm starting to like Samurai more than most real life bands out there.

[xanderuk]

Refused - a Swedish band, did a great job of bringing Silverhand to life

[jusstyno]

This game is something special man. Like both "that kid in class" special and actually wildly unique special. Never fade away...

[kagenotatsumaki]

"This doesn't sound Cyberpunk!"

Guys, in lore explanation, the song is from 2003-2008...

[vodo]

Dear Cyberpunk 2077 Team, we all love you! :)

[jpeake]

Calm down CDPR I already bought your game! xD

[artemiybzhedugov]

There are actually 2 voices singing the lyrics, one being louder and the other one calmer. I always picture Johnny and V singing together, makes this song infinitely better
