"I always thought I was the good guy."

In my opinion this is best scene in gta 5

I found this part really sad. Listening to Michael's family hate him, the condescending therapist, plus Michael's "I always thought I was the good guy" quote on top of his "Jimmy!" Yelling. All while cheerful music plays.

*I really hope the guy who came up with this cutscene got a raise*

Can we all admit rockstar kicks ass at their soundtracks!

If there wasn't any music in this it would be incredibly sad. Michael continuously hearing how bad of a person he is during an acid trip.

When you're happy, you enjoy the scene. When you're sad, you understand its true meaning.

This is why I've always liked Michael's story the best. People are too quick to see this scene as "haha funny man on drug fly in sky". This scene is actually genius, in my opinion, this song represents the start of the lowest point in Michael's life. The juxtaposition between the depressing tone of the scene and the music actually makes it even more emotional. The voices of Michael and his family and others berating him in his mind for everything he's done, it shows how damaged he really is, and that he genuinely feels bad for everything that he has done. Michael really doesn't want to be a bad guy, yet he is the character in GTA 5 that really loses the most. He has literally everything he cares stripped away from him and watching him work to get back what he lost is why his story is so damn good and my favorites out of the three characters.

Gta5 : Jimmyyyyyyyyyyy !!!! RDR2 : Lennyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!

This scene is so sad when you stop and listen

who else feels like replaying Gta V again now?

You know Rockstar are good when they make you feel genuinely sorry for a lying, killing, cheating psychopath

This was the part of the game that made me realize I was playing something amazing. Edit: Holy shit, this is my most upvoted comment ever! Still getting replies too, damn.

thanks for not diving right down

You reading thousands comments every day make sure this is one of them

This only shows that taking drugs doesn't solves your problems. Like, there's this upbeat music with a happy feeling, but you can still hear Michael's problems. Which means they will still be there when he wakes up, of course. So don't take drugs guys!

Man if ever get high I want a trip like this

"what do you want, Michael"

Michael is the best protagonist

This is when GTA 5 became an instant 10/10 Michael is such an amazing character. The best in the game Awesome times...

When your real name is actually Michael, this song really makes you think.

It's sad in a way "I always thought i was the good guy.." "What do you want michael" "You ruined my life" and "You're nothing but a murdering, lying, thief". Poor michael..

This mission. Makes me smile for a straight 2minutes with awe, at 3am alone in my lonely room.

When I was 13 and I played this I thought “ this guy reminds me of my dad”. Now I think “ this guy reminds me of myself”.

Just imagine listening to this and put your own words and problems!

Media: GtA IS a ViOlEnCe SiMulATor!!!11 GTA:

When the vitamin gummies start to kick in

2 things. 1.) This is one HELL of a juxtaposition. They play you a song that is so positive sounding, but in the background you hear Michael’s pain manifest itself in memory. 2.) The lyrics of this song fit what Michael is going through SO perfectly. “You gave it all up, you had nothing left You should have kept some for yourself It's easier to see in retrospect What I could have done to help We only get one life to get it right We only get one life to lead Now you can't keep this up night after night You need to find someone to be”

They need to make a mod where you can do this whenever you want.

The song is called shine a light by the c90s. It's the flight facilities remix

How it's feel to chew 5 gum

"What do you want, Michael?" It hits deeper than you think, because these days people aren't sure what they want. You could buy some people the moon but they'd still be unhappy or want more to fill some hole. Maybe this is why this scene reminded me of Niko, because Roman told him to look for fulfillment elsewhere if you kill Darko, where Niko will say he doesn't feel better, and in fact feels empty despite a 10-year vengeance mission, thinking this would fill the hole in his life. Roman may be a total goof, but I really wish more people were like him -- boundlessly optimistic, able to pick up the pieces after disaster, cries through his sorrows at the moment they happen, willing to show this to anyone, and wise enough to know violence and revenge is a dark path. Roman wants more as well, but that's chiefly due to gambling addiction. He loves America, he loves the opportunity to be anything, and he's willing to work hard, even when he wants to look for shortcuts. Michael worked hard to get out of the life as well, but it took a horrible turn. It made his family entitled, though he himself can be quite narcissistic at points. It's complicated. And people in general are complicated. Want, want, want. Never need, need, need. Minus the gambling addiction, I feel Roman's personality is ideal. He's hedonistic, but he has values. Nobody's perfect, but between GTA IV and V, the theme is greed and underdogs in a rapidly changing world. It's okay to want, but it's important to remember needs. Michael wants his family to be unrealistically ideal, and seems to have given up when this goal can't be achieved, whereas Roman would continue to work at his goals, even in his own goofy ways. It doesn't give them the right to be shitty to him, but everybody needs to put in team effort.

*J I M M Y* *I* *M* *M* *Y*

“Did somebody say yoga?” For anyone wondering which mission You do have to actually do the yoga that’s the only shitty part

More emotional than most movies nowadays

Micheal Is My Favorite Character, Such effort was put into Micheal He Story Is Well Written Trying To Forget The Past But It Follows Him Everywhere Believing He Was The Good Guy Doing The Right Thing But Him Doing The Right Thing Makes Things Work.

Who Else Ever Tried To Make Michel Stay on the air as long as possible (Edit had to reedit because of people hating)

Jimmmmmyyyyyyyy!

When you’re in bed and it does that falling thingy :

Everybody who love Michael = like

I crashed into Vinewood Mount Hans and still end up in that same location near Michael's home.

Perfect and emotional.

Micheal was always a good person inside..

One of the greatest and most beautiful moments in gaming history

*I got rekt at one of the Skyscrapers -* *I thought I could fly through it* *乁༼☯‿☯✿༽ㄏ*

JIMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Nobody My dreams while im sleeping:

I remember playing this mission when I was 13, not thinking it was any big deal. I’m 19 now and went back to play the story for good times. When I played this mission now, I can now understand Michaels trip, and everything that’s going on around. This part of the mission hit me different. GTA5 will always have an amazing story, you’ve just got to understand the meanings and character motivations to enjoy the story just that little bit more :). Can’t wait for GTA 6

my fave sounds are JIMMMMY!!!! and i always thought i was the good guy

When this scene happened I actually thought my TV and audio was corrupted

Psychologist: All the dreams have their own meaning My dreams:

F to all the speed runners who have to skip this part every day 😩

"see, i'm two different people"

Best part of the game

One of the greatest games ever.

This song makes me feel like I was tossed out of a UFO in my boxers.

What do you want michael? I thought i was the good guy...

What do you want, Michael? FUCK YES I LOVE IT!

that "What do you want, michael? , bro i love that jajsad

“I always thought I was the good guy” the story of life 😔😔 and when the song says “I never wanted much at all” damn that hurts 😓

This was easily the most memorable moment from the GTA V story.

This is perfect

The fact that this is where is whole family leaves him makes it even more sad

I unfortunately never got to play this masterpiece when it came out. I’m experiencing the story for the first time as of the last month and this mission is wild.

You gave it all up, you had nothing left You should have kept some for yourself It's easier to see in retrospect What I could have done to help We only get one life to get it right We only get one life to lead Now you can't keep this up night after night You need to find someone to be I want to shine a light On the things you do I want to shine a light On the things you do I never wanted anything from you I never wanted much at all But you were always up to something new You never had that far to fall (I wanna shine a light) (I wanna shine a light) (I wanna shine a light) (I wanna shine a light) I want to shine a light On the things you do I want to shine a light On the things you do I want to shine a light On the things you do I want to shine a light On the things you do

This song is so much better with the gta v dialogue over it! Just works so good

Anyone else comes back to this video when they’re going through tough times and can relate to Michael

Best GTA V mission, change My mind.

When this happened to me when I was playing I was like what the hell! And then I just started grooving to the song lol

The C90s - Shine A Light (Flight Facilities Remix)

Song is very fitting. "I wanna shine a light, on the things you do."

when i was playing this scene i realized how far i’ve come hearing everything and how much fun i’ve had throughout playing this game and just appreciating every single bit and remembering every important detail

What do you want, Michael?

Still listening in 2025...

Michael did all they did for his family, and even with, they hate him 😢

Jimmy drugged Michael and blamed it on him 10/10 jimmy

How I feel when i leave school!

what do you want Michael

I remember back when I played the game, after Michael was drugged, I thought it would just be a black screen and then the game would continue normally. Fortunately, I was wrong and it came to this masterpiece. I love the music coupled with the dramatic aspect and the voices in the background that highlight Michael's tragic character.

As a man living with C-PTSD this song really pulls up some majorly self reflecting thoughts and I never know whether I love it or am terrified of it

My favourite mission ever In gta v

This is my top 'A Character working through his Epiphany' moment of all time.

hope they keep doing weird stuff like this in gta 6

"Thank you, Michael, what ever the fuck our fake last name is!" I would never want a life when someone would legitimately say that.

What do you want Michael

I smoke weed once and never came back to the ground. I'm still high.

I remember playing this mission when I was 14, I'm almost 21 now and i always come back to this mission. One of the best songs imo from the game. Just a whole vibe in general

i love how this mission starts off as micheal being calm, happy and relaxed and ends off with him screaming his sons name while on an acid trip. 😂

great song great part of the game

One of my favourite games ever and mission

2021 , this shit still send chills through my body !

I remember playing storymode at first i was vibing to the song because well i love the C90s but then when i heard the voice overs of Michael's family complain about his wrong doings i began to sympathize with him 😢

This isn't exactly soundtrack, but the song they used is called "Shine a Light", a remix by Flight Facilities and The C90s

The most eye opening scene... ever

I keep coming back every year😅

0:10 Micheal: JIIIMYYYYY me: MIIIICHEEEAALLLL

I love songs that long after the actual lyrics is done they just let the instrumental play and die itself out...that shit makes it more epic.. :)

When this song comes on the radio I make sure I dont leave my car.

happy 10 years.

All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back.
