Open Your Heart

"Open Your Heart" is the main theme song of Sonic Adventure, performed by Crush 40. It is a hard rock song. Remixes have been made featuring Bentley Jones and K-Klub.
The song was composed by Jun Senoue and Kenichi Tokoi; the former also took lead guitar duties and had already been working as the head music director for Sonic and Sega related games for several years. In the early demo version of the song, an unknown singer provided the vocals for the song. Eventually, Hardline frontman, Johnny Gioeli, was chosen as the lead vocalist, forming the group that would later become Crush 40 (they had not been officially named Crush 40 until years later). Also involved in the song are Naoto Shibata on bass and Hirotsugu Homma on drums. They each joined a separate band later on, Loudness and Anthem, respectively.

::AAAALLLLLLLRIGHT!!!
::Thunder, rain and lightning
::Danger, water rising
::Clamor, sirens wailing
::It's such a bad sign
::Shadows, dark creatures
::Steel clouds floating in the air
::People run for shelter
::What's gonna happen to us?
::All the steps we take, all the moves we make, all the pain at stake.
::I see the chaos for everyone. Who are we? What can we do?
::You and I are same in the way that we have our own styles that we won't change
::Yours is filled with evil and mine is not
::There is no way I can lose!
::Can't hold on much longer
::But I will never let go!
::I know it's a one way track
::Tell me now how long this'll last!
::I'm not gonna think this way
::Nor will I count on others!
::Close my eyes and feel it burn
::Now I see what I gotta do!
::Open your heart, it's gonna be alright.
::Ancient cities blazing
::Shadows keep attacking
::Little children crying
::Confusion, hopeless anger
::I don't know what it can be, but you drive me crazy!
::All your cunning tricks make me sick, you won't have it your own way!
