about

Shadow the Hedgehog is still, to this day, one of my favorite anti-heroes in all of fiction. When I was around 12 or 13, I had a severe accident that left me with permanent brain damage; with how severe the injuries to my face were, I was bedridden for over two weeks with half of my skin sheared off and my teeth, jaw, and nose so broken I couldn't eat without being physically helped, let alone talk. My mom bought me Shadow the Hedgehog for the PS2, and I played it almost nonstop while going through physical rehabilitation and facial surgery. Shadow stuck with me all these years later, and I'm so thankful that period of my life had some happy memories.

I wanted my cover of 'I Am (All of Me)' to be a love letter to the game, the original song by Jun Senoue, Crush 40, Johnny Gioeli, Sega, and, of course, Shadow himself. Thank you mom for taking care of me when I was close to death, and thank you to everyone who has kept Sonic, Shadow, and everyone in our favorite group alive and kicking since we were kids! I love all of you guys, and I'm so happy the Sonic fanbase is still kickin' in high gear! Keep rockin' you beautiful bunch of edgy hedgy listeners; I love you all 🖤

lyrics

Lyrics:

(This is like taking candy from a baby, which is fine by me)

I see nor hear no evil
Black writings on the wall
Unleashed a million faces
And one by one they fall

Black-hearted evil
Brave-hearted hero
I am all, I am all, I am

I, I, I am

Here we go, buddy
Here we go, buddy
Here we go
Here we go, buddy
Here we go

Go ahead and try to see through me
Do it if you dare (dare)
One step forward, two steps back
I'm here (one step forward, two steps back)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it

Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mystery
Step inside and hold on for dear life
Do you remember me?
Capture you or set you free
I am all, I am all of me

I am (I am, I'm all of me)
I am (I am, I'm all of me)
I am (I am, I'm all of me)
I am (I am, I'm all of me)
(Here we go, here we go, go go go)

I see and feel the evil
My hands will crush them all
You think you have the answers
I'll laugh and watch you fall

Black-hearted evil
Brave-hearted hero
I am all, I am all, I am

I, I, I am

Here we go, buddy
Here we go, buddy
Here we go
Here we go, buddy
Here we go

Go ahead and try to see through me
Do it if you dare (dare)
One step forward, two steps back
I'm here (one step forward, two steps back)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it

Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mystery
Step inside and hold on for dear life
Do you remember me?
Capture you or set you free
I am all, I am all of me

I am (I am, I'm all of me)
I am (I am, I'm all of me)
I am (I am, I'm all of me)
I am (I am, I'm all of me)
(Here we go, here we go, go go go)

I am, I am everyone, everywhere
Anyhow, any way, any will, any day
I am, I am everyone, everywhere
Anyhow, any way, any will, any day

I am
Do it, do it, do it, do it

Can you see all of me?
Walk into my mystery
Step inside and hold on for dear life
Do you remember me?
Capture you or set you free
I am all, I am all of me

I am (I am, I'm all of me)
I am (I am, I'm all of me)
I am (I am, I'm all of me)
I am (I am, I'm all of me)

Here we go, buddy
Here we go, buddy
Here we go
Here we go, buddy
Here we go

(Where's that damn fourth chaos emerald?)
