Hey guys!

So sorry about this next video taking so long, it required me to go back and replay all of #Persona 5TheRoyal in order to get footage for this video, so you know it took me like, a decade. 

In my video about recording drums with the Rock Band microphone, I mentioned that I wanted to change things up a little bit with my content, I'm still going to do gaming content but I want to really talk about something else I'm passionate about, which is #music. 

So today, we're doing a #analysis on the music that plays during your exploration of the secret, true-ending palace in Persona 5: The Royal, titled "Gentle Madman". 

THIS VIDEO WILL HAVE SPOILERS ABOUT THE TRUE ENDING! DO NOT SAY I DID NOT WARN YOU!!!
