Crush 40 - Sonic Youth Lyrics






Well, I've opened my heart
And I've lived and learned
And I've taken a step in his world
Well, I've danced in the shadow
And I've felt the sonic boom
And I am who I am with you

Racing forward on my mind
Crushing 40 all the time
Never seems to disappear, oh no
Always know, always knowing that you're near

Now don't you worry
It's a never-ending story
Stand proud and let it out
Let 'em know, let it show
Wait till they hear
Hear the sonic youth

(It's as easy as you want it to be)
(It's easy, it's easy like a 1, 2, 3)
Hear the sonic youth

(It's as easy as you want it to be)
(It's easy, it's easy)
We are the sonic youth

Like a sonic hero
Or a knight in the wind
Now you know what I'm made of

You can watch me fly
Live life or die
Never turn back, you and I

Racing forward on my mind
Crushing 40 all the time
It never seems to disappear, oh no
You can feel when the sonic youth is near

Now don't you worry
It's a never-ending story
Stand proud and let it out
Let 'em know, let it show
Wait till they hear
Till they hear
Hear the sonic youth

We are the sonic youth
Now you know what I'm made of

Hey

Now don't you worry
It's a never-ending story
Stand proud and let it out
Let 'em know, let it show
Wait till they hear
Till they hear
Hear the sonic youth

Me and you
Hear the sonic youth
That's you

    caav56 really that's awesome thanks

  39. S.... W....

    YES! I *AM* SONIC FAN!!!

  40. W.... ....

    Every time they say racing... I feel like this song forshadowed Team Sonic Racing

  41. K.... ....

    The only thing I don't know is why do they mention Watch me fly in this, if it's not a Sonic song???

  42. S.... ....

    12 references

  43. Z.... ....

    Sonic Youth: A Love Song

  44. T.... ....

    *CRUSHIN' 40 ALL THE TIME!!!!*

  45. K.... H....

    WHY WASNT THIS IN FORCES!!! LIKE AT ALL?!

  46. S.... W....

    This song gives me HAPPINESS.

  47. T.... ....

    who came from ROBLOX? (sonic ultimate rpg)

  48. L.... M....

    This blew me away! I'm happy!

  49. l.... h....

    Thought this was a sonic youth song

  50. d.... n....

    ¿Háedillo de camillio?

  51. a.... ....

    i cant stop playing it over and over

  52. C.... C....

    Sonic needs to crush 40 one last time to this...

  53. T.... M....

    Something like Adventure 3 please.

  54. J.... W....

    I firmly believe the existence behind this song was that Johnny Gioeli went up to Jun Senoue and said to him, "I dare you to write a song with as many Sonic references as you possibly can, without sounding redundant or too obvious. And if you do it, I'll fucking sing that shit."

    That's my headcanon and I'm sticking with it.

  55. W.... W....

    sounds like an anthrax song

  56. A.... ....

    When both Legacy and BOOM have lost all steam, and SonicTeam is out of time, you can guarantee that this will be the theme of the final Sonic game, which will end with Sonic's world imploding, the resulting cataclysm creating three new planets, Mobius, Planet Wisp, and Little Planet. It's a never ending story.

  57. S.... ....

    If SA3 were ever to happen, what if this was the theme for the game?

  58. U.... T....

    I love the references to other Sonic Songs in the Lyrics😍

  59. Y.... P....

    I mean rougeempire

  60. Y.... P....

    Guys check this guy call rougeempite

  61. B.... ....

    "Stand proud"
    is that a motherfucking jojo reference

  62. C.... D....

    At the This Machine and Who I Am references I started fanboying as Shadow the Hedgehog is one of my favorite games
    EDIT: I just realized the Live Life reference and that's my favorite Sonic song as a whole.
    Also didn't Crush 40 say they're doing the theme for Forces but they quickly deleted the tweet?

    C.... D....

    No, Jun said he was going to do music for Forces. So we get Jun but it's still possible to have Jonny in there as well for some Crush 40 action

    C.... D....

    And now we're proven wrong, sadly, but if this is going Secret Rings route we'll get a cover from them, hopefully, well Jun is doing the song so it's possible

  63. I.... Z....

    essa música me lembra do passado, que nostalgia, tem de ser a música do final boss do Sonic Forces

  64. P.... ....

    oh crush 40 i hope you retern for sonic forces and if you do i bet you got something good up your selve

  65. A.... ....

    With all the references to songs made by Crush40 that contains this song, you know that this would have been the perfect theme for Sonic Generations, there is even a mod that puts this song during the final battle of that game.

  66. S.... ....

    Well,I Open My Heart
    -Open Your Heart
    And I Live & Learn
    -Live & Learn
    When i take a step in His World
    -His World
    When i dance in the shadows
    -This Machine?All Hail Shadow?
    When i feel the Sonic Boom
    -Sonic Boom
    When i am who i am with you
    -I am All of me
    Like a Sonic Hero
    -Sonic Heroes
    Or a Knight in the Wind
    -Knight of the wind
    Now you known what i made of
    -What i made of
    You can watch me fly
    -You can watch me fly
    Live live or die
    -¿Unknown of M.E?
    Never Turn Back you and I
    -Never Turn Back

    S.... ....

    live life or die
    live life the ending theme for sonic and the black knight

    S.... ....

    TronMetalGamer Who I am was the MAGNI-FI song that would have been the opening to Shadow the Hedgehog.

  67. D.... ....

    This song is miles better than Live & Learn.

  68. Q.... K....

    Sonic: Let's blast through with Sonic Speed!!

  69. J.... A....

    I'd actually want this song to be in prodject sonic 2017 i think it would be cool. I'm not a big sonic fan as i use to be, but this is a nice song.

  70. H.... ....

    This needs to be the final boss theme of Sonic2017

  71. A.... S....

    Thank god for crush40 ROCK ON!

  72. T.... C....

    This music has a lot of references. Let's take a look at... more clues.

    T.... C....

    ...vai Brasiliam...

    T.... C....

    Team Chaotix Br No it's:
    Let's take a look at.... MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE CLUES

    T.... C....

    Salve, xapa

  73. H.... A....

    SONIC Youth. And they're also a huge band for Sonic. This is the YOUTH of their music career before they became big from sonic music.

  74. W.... G....

    so many references in this song

  75. S.... ....

    This needs to be in a Sonic game!

    S.... ....

    SonicCrafterKing This song will be the main theme of Sonic Generations 2 what cames in June 2021

    S.... ....

    I made a mod for Sonic Generations that replaces the final boss music (Time Eater) with this:
    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1D7xH0IQGFrKv3YW9tmRnsx3WZojb6vCO

    S.... ....

    Nazek42 good idea

    S.... ....

    José Alfaro I wish lol

    S.... ....

    Don't think so

  76. M.... R....

    PUT THIS ON PROJECT 2017 PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSS DO IT MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE PLS SEGA PUT THIS PLS I BEG OF YOU I WANT IT 100 PERCENT

  77. I.... ....

    I CAN'T HANDLE ALL THESE REFERENCES

    I.... ....

    Exactly!!!

  78. N.... B....

    wat does "danced in the shadows" mean?

    N.... B....

    Nazo Breeze It's probably a reference to Shadow The Hedgehog.

    N.... B....

    reference to "All hail Shadow"

    N.... B....

    Probably "danced" since All Hail Shadow was just a cover. Same thing goes for "taken a step in His World"

    N.... B....

    That's very clever...

    N.... B....

    It's a reference to the Team Dark Theme in Sonic Heroes: "This machine", one of the lyrics in the chorus "We all dance in shadows, inside this machine".

  79. g.... ....

    I think that something new should be made for the final boss, but this still should be used SOMEWHERE in the PS2017.

  80. S.... ....

    BEST 25TH ANNIVERSARY SONG EVER PLEASE GOD PLAY THIS IN MANIA OR PROGECT 2017

  81. J.... ....

    WHY THIS NOT IN GENERATIONS

    J.... ....

    Because Generations came out a year before this song was released.

    J.... ....

    I made a mod that replaces the final boss music with it!
    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1D7xH0IQGFrKv3YW9tmRnsx3WZojb6vCO

  82. Z.... ....

    This song describes being a Sonic fan and being proud of it. You've played all the games, you know how everything in the series goes down. You've always got the franchise on your mind, always thinking of running forward in the games, it never disappears. You have faith that the series won't end for a long, long time. And even if the haters hate, you'll stand proud, let it out, let them know, let it show. Because you're a Sonic fan, and you're happy to let everybody damn well know it.
    obligiatory edit: good to know this silly-ass comment i wrote when i was 12 resonated with so many people, lmao.

    Z.... ....

    Zosonils The Hedgehog CORRECT! ;)

    Z.... ....

    If being a Sonic fan taught me anything, it's that this fanbase is unbreakable.

    Even when trapped by the Sonic Cycle, the hopes we hold on to so tightly will keep us moving.

    Even if the next Sonic game is unplayable garbage due to SEGA's incompetence, our unshakeable dedication will keep us looking toward the future.

    _We survived our own fanart- _*_WHAT HOPE DO YOU POSSIBLY HAVE OF BREAKING OUR SPIRIT?!?_*

    Z.... ....

    Well said

    Z.... ....

    That is until you type sonic deviantart in google

    Z.... ....

    Ay, Shrek, get your camera...

  83. O.... ....

    Please be the final boss theme for Project 2017 or so help me

    O.... ....

    Maybe for the final game of the series.

    O.... ....

    um... about that, you need to sit down

    O.... ....

    Sorry bro x'(

    O.... ....

    welp your outta luck but the one for forces was kinda cool

    O.... ....

    Leave Me Alone it’s could be though

  84. S.... S....

    Hype about Sonic 2017

  85. A.... W....

    Open your hear...live and learn........his world...they are talking about most of their songs

  86. J.... G....

    The themes of all the Sonic themes wow

  87. L.... N....

    References (That I've found so far in order)
    -Open your heart
    -Live and Learn
    -His world
    -Possible Reference to This Machine's lyric "We all danced in Fire"
    -Sonic boom
    -I am who I am
    -Another possible reference to With me
    -Sonic Heroes
    -Knight in the wind
    -What I'm made of
    -Never turn back
    -What I'm made of (Again)
    -I'll update if you tell me a (Possible or not) reference in and where to find it-

    L.... N....

    Everybody loves Nosferatu Oh wow, I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

    L.... N....

    You forgot Live life

    L.... N....

    Amy Zulhelmi Watch me fly as well

    L.... N....

    "When I've danced in the shadows" most likely is supposed to reference All Hail Shadow, cus apart from there to seems weirdly absent from this song.

    L.... N....

    When i danced in the shadows could be a reference to Wrapped In Black.

  88. T.... ....

    I have only 1 guess as to why this wasn't used.
    the band 'Sonic Youth' threatened to sue

    T.... ....

    This song was released after generations

  89. N.... ....

    A great end to a great band

    N.... ....

    +Diego PINGASPINGASPINGAS they are coming back

    N.... ....

    @Amaury Boyle-Hebron
    Phew!

    N.... ....

    Um
    Have any of you heard their album "2 Nights 2 remember"?
    It'd literally been out for a while at the time of your comments.

    N.... ....

    They're still making original songs. They recently released a new album, too, 2 Nights 2 Remember. They also still do live concerts and stuff, and are rumoured to be making a song for Sonic 2017

    N.... ....

    +Shrek The Ogre when I made that post like months ago I didn't know that they made other music I thought all they made was sonic music and at that time the newest main series sonic game (sonic lost world) didn't have any crush 40 and also at that time I had no idea that sonic project 2017 was even an idea in sega's mind

  90. O.... ....

    Crush 40 needs to make a comeback.

    O.... ....

    SEGA's dragging these badass bastards down, they'd be better without the decaying corpse of Sonic

    O.... ....

    @An Than Van Man Tan Completely agree with you. It's really sad that they're stuck making music for Sonic games of all things. However according to some Twitter posts made by Jun, they're making some music for the upcoming Sonic game in 2017.

    O.... ....

    +An Than Van Man Tan they we're the ones why sonic was awesome

    O.... ....

    +Asher Wise you are not wrong

    O.... ....

    They made (TSR)

  91. K.... H....

    As much as i love this song, I believe this should be the theme for the last sonic game to be made

    K.... H....

    Uhh is that even going to happen

    K.... H....

    it better not

  92. C.... T....

    Me encantan las líneas de bajo TREMENDAS

  93. T.... ....

    That's a lot of self-referencing in one song, and done really well too, great song.

  94. C.... ....

    The first seconds sound like a low-quality music file fgrom the early days of the internet...

  95. A.... E....

    I think one of there songs is in Sonic Generations as an unlockable content o.o Time Eater's real boss theme xDD

    A.... E....

    a lot of their songs are unlockables

    A.... E....

    Too bad Crush 40 disband the Sonic games too bad they should come back for a Super Sonic transformation xDD

    A.... E....

    @Anonymous Entity Crush 40 is back!

  96. A.... N....

    Wow its all the past sonic game themes (made by Crush 40) all-in-one music, amazing.

    A.... N....

    +Anthony Nazario: That's why Crush 40 is the best

    A.... N....

    it was in a bit of order too
    but sonic 1-3&K didn't have a main song tho..
    anyways you can hear the order
    first it's Open Your Heart (SA1)
    Live & Learn (SA2)
    and...okay it ended with His World (06)
    what ever..

    A.... N....

    Knight of the Wind was the final Crush 40 main Sonic theme song, the ending theme for Black Knight (the objectively best Sonic song) Live Life is also mentioned

    A.... N....

    Well, technically 06 is kinda like a SA3 so it's still in the right place in the song
