Signs of love overshadows my dreams
Baby, don't worry, 'cause you ain't alone
Only time running days without nights
Tears pass through...
Every time, look at the picture in the frame
Gaze in fascination so hard
You still think that is nothing but love
Rain still falls...
Baby, don't worry, 'cause you ain't alone
Only time running days without nights
Tears pass through...
Every time, look at the picture in the frame
Gaze in fascination so hard
You still think that is nothing but love
Rain still falls...
— "Signs of Love"
It's a Persona game. What did you expect?
- The boss theme: I'll Face Myself -Battle-
and the theme that plays after one of the protagonists gets their Persona: I'll Face Myself - Slow Version.- The melancholic remix of it that plays when Dojima is in hospital.
- This fan remix is an orchestral version, and has FREAKING BONGO DRUMS in the second verse!
- The Reincarnation album brought us what is possibly the most epic version of "I'll Face Myself (Battle)" yet. So epic it gets reused in the Animation and Golden's fights with Shadow Mitsuo and Marie, respectively.
- Speaking of Shadow Mitsuo, the Golden actually gives a special 8-bit remix of the theme called Shin Mitsuo Tensei.
- The melancholic remix
- The bad, good, and true (two themes for separate two phases) ending boss themes. A New World Fool, The Almighty, Fog/Kiri, and The Genesis respectively.
- The concert remix of The Almighty is almost certainly better than the original and is made of 100% epic.
- "The Genesis" sounds more triumphant at double speed.
- The concert remix of The Almighty
- The regular battle theme Reach out to the Truth. Here's a full and remastered version from the Reincarnation album.
- Heartbeat, Heartbreak the song that plays after school (while walking around town on rainy and foggy days), and Heaven, Nanako's dungeon theme music.
- If you liked Heaven, wait until you hear the epic dual mix, a combination of the original and the concert versions.
- There's also this Live Band version of Heaven. That saxophone somehow makes you all the more determined to save Nanako.
- If you liked Heaven, wait until you hear the epic dual mix
- Never More. The song alone is heartwarming. The Reincarnation version goes "We Will Rock You" on us.
- The opening track, Pursuing My True Self, is the first thing you hear and sets the tone for the rest of the game. Like "Reach Out to the Truth," it got a full, remastered version in the Reincarnation album.
- Backside of the TV. Just listening to that tune while preparing to rescue the next victim in the TV world...
- Sauna, a track befitting an adventure through a bathhouse.
- Your Affection, the cheerful, uplifting track that plays on sunny days. For the series' 20th anniversary, "Your Affection" got a severely underrated remix that gives the song an acid jazz style and incorporates Never More's motif. It really feels like a final goodbye to Persona 4 as a whole.
- From November 6th to the deadline for the 7th dungeon, all of the overworld music is replaced by Omen, an ominous bit of ambient music that perfectly complements the sorry state of Inaba during this time-frame.
- Corner of Memories. Players who've just come off of finishing P3 are liable to be struck with what can be described as nostalgia, due to the theme's similarity to Brand New Days.
- Long Way. This music, a remix of the Monado Mandala theme from Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, really gets you pumped up for the game's last battle. Well, second-to-last or third-to-last if you play your cards right.
- SMILE. You know you're about to have a Heartwarming Moment when this starts up.
- New Days. It's a song that makes you want to get up in the morning...
- Shoji Meguro was influenced by big band music when making the Reincarnation versions of "Signs of Love", "Specialist", and "Like A Dream Come True". These songs are nothing short of fun!
- Remember "Reverie"? That song that came on during sad scenes? They made it sadder.
- The Animated Adaptation gives us its opening theme: Sky's the Limit. Good luck getting this one out of your head. Then there's the equally awesome second opening Key Plus Words.
- Beauty of Destiny, the first ending, is one of the most beautiful songs in the whole franchise.
- The anime also gives us Time for True Revelation, which plays whenever Kanji starts to kick tail.
- "The Bonds of Everyone's Souls" also came from the anime and like the title implies, it's also another Aria remix. Replace the opera singer with a choir and add some organs and guitars and you get a hopeful, awing song fit for a Moment of Awesome.
- "We Are One And All", yet another song from the anime, perfectly sets the mood for a triple dosage of The Power of Friendship, Heartwarming Moment and Moment of Awesome. You know, with a dash of summoning Lucifer to destroy an Eldritch Abomination, for good measure.
- Time to Make History from Persona 4 The Golden is excellent.
- Two more songs from Golden are Memories, Marie's dungeon theme, and Snowflakes, the town theme for the new winter months with everything calmed down and the mystery (mostly) solved.
- Marie's Leitmotif, Girl of the Hollow Forest, is both melancholy and deeply beautiful and emotional.
- The Way of Memories -Kizuna no Chikara-, the last ending theme of the anime, basically describing Yu's entire year in Inaba with the Investigation Team and their undying friendship.
- The second anime gives us "Yin Yang" for Yu's fight with Adachi. It heightens the conflict between the two and shows how they're not so different and it features a rap battle between Lotus Juice... and himself!
- The Golden gives us a new intro screen with a bright, peppy, happy track straight out of the 80's that worms its way into players' ears and stays there for ages afterward. Ladies and gentlemen...Shadow World.
- "Alone," a somber track that plays when you get home after Nanako is kidnapped and Dojima is hospitalized. It appropriately fits how lonely the Dojima residence has become.
