"Live and Learn" is the main theme song of Sonic Adventure 2 and is performed by Crush 40.

Background

The song is generally associated with Super Sonic and Super Shadow, as it plays when they power up and when they fight Finalhazard in Sonic Adventure 2. An instrumental version was used in Shadow the Hedgehog when Shadow transformed into Super Shadow. 

Legacy

"Live and Learn" is featured in the last episode of the Sonic Adventure 2 adaptation arc of Sonic X, "Showdown in Space" (Japanese version only). It also plays in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing in Seaside Hill in its intro.

Sonic Generations features a full version as an unlockable track and a shortened version which plays in the Shadow the Hedgehog rival battle when Sonic powers up his special attack against Shadow by collecting Energy Cores.

The song's intro plays when the Super Sonics unleash their final attack against the Time Eater, but the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 theme (albeit remixed) plays in its place. It is unlockable in Sonic Generations.

It also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U as one of the songs in Green Hill Zone in the former two and Windy Hill in the latter (although it is truncated). It was also used in the "Sonic Joins The Brawl" video as to promote Sonic's debut in Super Smash Bros. series.

Lyrics

Can you feel life, movin' through your mind?
Ooh, looks like it came back for more!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Can you feel time, slippin' down your spine?
Oooh, you try and try to ignore!
Yeeeah!
But you can hardly swallow
Your fears and pain!
When you can't help but follow
It puts you right back where you came!
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way
Whooooa, oh, yeah!
Can you feel life, tangle you up inside?
Yeeah! Now you're face down on the floor!
Ooooh!
But you can't save your sorrow
You've paid in trade!
When you can't help but follow
It puts you right back where you came!
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way
Whoa, whoa, whooa
Oh yeeeeeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
There's a face searching far, so far and wide
There's a place where you dream you'd never find
Hold on to what if?
Hold on to what if?
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow!
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay!
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow!
Live and learn!
You may never find your waaaaaaay!!!
Live and Learn!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Live and Learn!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Trivia

  • This song was heard instrumentally and with lyrics in Sonic's 20th anniversary celebration video.
  • This song is one of Crush 40's most famous songs.
  • Shadow's Super Transformation music in Shadow the Hedgehog and Shadow's All-Star Move in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed plays a mix of this song with "I Am... All of Me". However, in the latter, the move does not last long enough under normal circumstances to reach the "Live and Learn" segment.
  • "Live and Learn" can be heard in some parts of "Supporting Me".
  • This song counts down until a forced death, regardless of how many Rings the player has left.
  • In Sonic Runners, an instrumental version is played during the Sonic Adventure 2 event.
