In the post-apocalyptic world of 'The Last of Us', music, particularly 'youtube music', plays a crucial role, serving as a poignant reminder of humanity's resilience and emotional connections in the 'united states'. One such song that has become an integral part of the franchise is Pearl Jam's 'Future Days'.

During The Game Awards 2020, lead singer Eddie Vedder performed 'Future Days' as a tribute to its impact and connection with 'The Last of Us Part II'. In the game, this song holds a significant place, particularly in Part II, where it is played by Joel on a butterfly-necked guitar for Ellie, not long after they return from Salt Lake City.

Ellie, known for her tense relationship with Joel, is portrayed singing only one line of 'Future Days' in Season 2, episode 5 of the TV series based on the game. The line, 'If I ever were to lose you', carries a heavy emotional weight, hinting at the complex bond between the two characters.

Interestingly, in the same episode, Ellie hesitantly picks up the guitar, suggesting a deeper emotional connection to the song and the memory of her father, Joel, who is remembered through the acoustic guitar in this episode.

The entire Pearl Jam song 'Future Days' is played in Season 2, underscoring themes of hope, love, and emotional bonds amid a post-apocalyptic setting, mirroring the relationship and emotional journey of the main characters.

For those who wish to experience the games that inspired 'The Last of Us', information is readily available. Currently, Season 2 of 'The Last of Us' is streaming on Max, with new episodes airing weekly on Sundays 9 p.m. ET on HBO. Don't miss out on this gripping series that beautifully combines action, drama, and the power of 'music'.
