The song holds up on its own, but when you add that spanish guitar flair it takes it up just a little more, especially thematically as Sam meets bladewolf for the first time, a western inspired desperado character and an enemy from a company named Desperado crossing paths. It's a subtle motif they added to the intro, but it's pretty strong.
Gotta admit I felt the same, especially after I played the game and beat Blade Wolf. I was just like "Heh. A machine like him can't know anything about freedom." Then I listen to the lyrics and play his mission and then "Aw shit...I take back that last comment." I am so happy Blade Wolf is with Sunny.
***** I agree. I think it would show how Sam helps him develop his intellect further where he eventually reaches that stage where he chooses to help Raiden.
At first, I wasn't sure what you were talking about. Then I was like, oh shit, this song is from Blade Wolf's POV. I always thought it was Raiden's. Man, that sent shivers down my spine.
Raiden: ARMSTRONG! I said my sword was a tool of justice, not to use in anger, not to use for vengeance. But now… now I'm not so sure. And beside, this ISN'T my sword.
LQ-84i: I may analyze orders but I may not disobey them, should I disobey a direct order my memory would be wiped. I must destroy you. Raiden: What good is an intellect if you can't use it? LQ-84i: Your taunting is pointless, EXTERMINATE!
_"I may analyze my orders but I may _*_not_*_ disobey them. should I disobey a direct order, my memory would be wiped. I must destroy you."_ I.F Prototype LQ84i
I think that's what they were trying to get at. Using this song to make a link between LQ-84i (Blade-Wolf), and Raiden as they were both "Born Into a pack" (Child soldier etc) and with the whole "being a soldier, you have to take orders to attack whatever they think is a threat" scenario.
I remember the beginning of the boss fight and hearing the acoustic guitar while you and the robo dog are exchanging banter and really liking how it sounded. I wish the song released with the acoustic guitar in the beginning
I honestly like these classical instruments mixed into the themes. The acoustic intro in this song and the piano in the instrumental “a stranger I remain” give you a nice contrast in comparison with the synth and percussion.
This song really gives me feeling of gaining freedom and breakout. Really feel how hound tortured by his owner longs to run for better life and fights for freedom.
To be honest, upon first hearing the acoustic intro, I was worried about the contrast from the song's tone, but it flows perfectly! Absolutely incredible song.

Sou alimentado
Mas a fome continua

Hora de deixar todos eles para trás
Romper com a minha dor
Quem não arrisca, não petisca

Tenho a marca de minhas cicatrizes
Sangrando abaixo das estrelas
Mas eu sobreviverei de alguma forma
