Hey all, it’s Kern here. I Finally got a Resident Evil 2 fan song that I really like, this thing took me FOREVER to do, and I’m sorry about that honestly… but, getting the feel of the song wasn’t as easy as one might expect lyrically… I think I bashed my pens upon my notebooks for about a week and a half of scrapped lyric attempts before I got something I actually liked.

The lyrics are in the video, if you want to read them. The goal with this song was to really hone in on the overall feel of Leon’s “rookie cop” days and how it kind of all fell apart before it even began. Later games show us what he ends up becoming, but I wanted to go back to his Resident Evil 2 origin story.

I wanted listeners to think back to their first attempts at the game (both the origional RE2 and the Remake) and step into the chaos of Raccoon City. I hope that with First Night, Last Chance that vision becomes possible. This Resident Evil 2 fan song is told from Leon Kennedy’s perspective, and I personally think it’s offers a haunting blend of emotion, duty, and survival, capturing the terror and tragedy of his first night on the force.

Also, his last chance to escape… a nod to Jill’s statements in Resident Evil 3’s game (the original, not the remake).

Well, that’s all for now. If you like the song, seriously like the song on YouTube, subscribe to the channel, and I’ll see you next time. This has been Kern of The Demented Ferrets, where stupidity is at its finest and level grinds are par for the course.
