    Context for the tracks
    Rivers in the Desert - Plays during one of the late game boss fights. There is an instrumental version of the track during the first phase of the fight and the vocals come in during the second phase.
    Life Will Change - Plays while you get ready to fight the major bosses. The song is basically about how you are going to kick the bosses ass.
    Take Over - Plays when you ambush a basic enemy in the game.
    Last Surprise - Plays when you fight a basic enemy without ambushing them.

    • @mylee197

      My favorite part of Rivers in the Desert is that you think it's the boss's theme in the first part because of how dark and heavy the instrumental is... But then the lyrics come in on the second phase like you mentioned and you realize that it's actually YOUR theme. You are the last ace in a lost hand, the river in the desert.

      True, video game music goes hard in a way that I feel few other kinds of soundtracks do. Guilty Gear gave me a whole new appreciation for rock and metal music, and Blazblue probably has some of my favorite music of all time and my favorite overall soundtrack (Bullet Dance II and Imperial Code my beloved)
      On the topic of Persona music, Mass Destruction is a banger (FES version especially), and Memories of You is probably the most bittersweet song I’ve heard. There’s a specific English cover by Sapphire that’s incredible, it’s like a five minute trip straight to depression! (But in a good way)

Persona 5 is a fantastic game, and even someone that Isn't a musician can recognize how amazing the music is! I rarely like singing in music, but almost every single song from all the Persona 5 games are among my favorite music pieces, which still blows my mind about four and a half years after beating the game for the first time!

    So the vocalist Lyn Inaizumi was actually singing in a small Jazz bar when the games composer Shoji Meguro came in with some of his colleagues while they were trying to work out who should do the vocals for their game. After hearing Lyn singing he must have thought (In Japanese) "This lady has got some PIPES!" Now she has become very popular and everybody knows she has some seriously good pipes. Also Lyn could not speak English so she had to be coached on how to pronounce each syllable. Don't know if Lyn learnt English later.
    Shoji Meguro is a legend by the way, he has made so many tracks for several Persona and other games. All of them amazing. I hope you guys check out P4 and P3 too.

He said that he did not hold auditions, and instead asked around to find “a female singer who can sing soul in an authentic way.” It seems that Lyn was selected because her demo tape fitted the image so well. Although they did not meet at a jazz club, she was clearly chosen because her voice is perfect for the setting."

    Every persona game is a 120 hours game with a soundtrack to vibe while you are doing it. It's insane
    If you want to listen to more persona 5 you probably want to see some of the songs you listen outside battle. For example beneath the mask, layer cake, butterfly kiss or Tokio daylight
    You can react to palace themes too or even some of the songs of persona 5 strikers. A spin off
    That for persona 5... If you still hungry you still have the other persona games....

    The thing about Persona 5 is it's turned based combat so you can just sit and jam to the soundtrack as long as you want. However, its sequel "Persona 5 Strikers" is a musou warriors style combat game where a bunch of things are happening at once with EXTREMELY fast-paced combat. The soundtrack for Strikers is absolutely NUTS. If you react to that OST, envision that intense rock soundtrack with absolute unabashed chaos happening at the same time. *THAT'S* a track that will be hard to play with. Some songs from Strikers I heavily recommend for a reaction are below. All these tracks are ALL slappers, but ones I say are a must for a vid I've marked with a "^":
    -Daredevil^
    -Axe to Grind^
    -Last Surprise - Scramble^

    I just stumbled onto this video but P5 has probably the best OST I've ever heard (and I'm 49 fwiw).
    The genre of music showcased is called Acid Jazz for those not in the know. It was a style that began in the late 80s and came out of the UK. It's a mix of jazz, soul, funk, disco, hip hop and house.To this day, it is my favorite genre of music. Notable artists in the genre include:
    My personal favorite of all time The Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, Incognito, Count Basic, Corduroy and the Brooklyn Funk Essentials.
    People really don't make it much anymore but you do have some holdovers who still bring it who are newer like Tortured Soul. Neo-Soul is the modern evolution of Acid Jazz but that has less house and funk influences than AJ.

    Life will change plays at the beginning of the game and three times more after. It plays once you invade a dungeon for the last time, only during MAJOR DUNGEONS THAT HAVE A BIG EFFECT ON THE STORY, and it represents their resolve to change lives and to beat the dungeon to cause this change. Also I heard you ask if games win music soundtrack awards, and Persona 5 actually won Soundtrack of the Year for 2017 (the year it released worldwide)

    I highly recommend this game and that you all should play! I just finished/posted Royal finally and one of the best things is how much the music mirrors the plot and is so thematic. Beneath the Mask is so good, you should definitely listen to that at least. It is indeed a long game- my vanilla P5 play was 150 hours, and Royal was 180ish. But it's SO WORTH IT. Persona games and their music are always so good.

    The singer for the P5R OST is Lyn Inaizumi. Fun facts about Lyn, she doesn't speak English and had to learn enough English specifically for this album. Also, because she is a Mezzo Saprano (a much lower vocal range than many Japanese singers), she struggled to find success and jobs throughout her career.
    The scenario where Rivers in the Desert FIRST shows up (and the ONLY time it shows up) is during a boss fight. It is incredibly significant because the game is building to THIS MOMENT. At first, all you hear is the instrumental version of the song. Once the boss fight enters into the second phase, and the $h^t hits the fan, that's when you get the lyrical version. The Persona games are by far made by their usage of music. I personally listen to the OST on my playlist quite frequently. If you've never played the game, it is available PC, and I highly recommend playing Persona 5 Royale.
    Edit: Oh, and your reaction is the same as just about EVERYONE who reacts to the P5R OST. I thought I would add this little note. Good on you for checking it out.
