Sing Along with METAL GEAR SOLID!
This has got to be a joke?
No.
Very few Metal Gear songs actually have lyrics, but for each game there always seems to be a major song with words, which is second only to the famous "Metal Gear Solid Main Theme" (in whatever arrangement!).
The lyrics of recognisable songs from MGS1, 2 and 3 are shown below. I did not write or translate any of them - Konami and its chosen songwriters, singers and composers have my admiration for the fine work they have produced!
SONG #1
The first song I have chosen is Metal Gear Solid's "The Best is Yet to Come", written and produced by Rika Muranaka. The lead vocal is Aoife Ni Fhearraigh. This song can be found on any of the three MGS soundtracks. This song is, in my opinion, beautiful... even though it reminds me of Liquid Snake's "death". The whole song is in Gaelic, but the English translation of the words are given below.
SONG #2
The second song is MGS2's "Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday". Rika Muranaka was once again behind this song's lyrics and production (unless I'm mistaken) but it is entirely in English. This song can be found on the Metal Gear Solid 2 Original Soundtrack (but not on The Other Side). In my opinion, it's too long, slow and jazzy, but then everyone's taste in music is different!
SONG #3
The third song is MGS3's "Snake Eater" by Cynthia Harrell. It features prominently on the Metal Gear Solid 3 Original Soundtrack and was also released as a single in Japan complete with an instrumental versions for those who truly want the karaoke experience! This song grew on me and it had a very slight James Bond feel. There appears to be more than one version of this song's lyrics so I've put two different versions up.
SONGS 4 & 5
These are "Don't Be Afraid" and "Way To Fall". The former is available as one of the games "Healing Tracks" under the codec frequency of 141.85 and is played in one of the last cut scenes. Way to Fall is played in the ending credits.
