Kicking off the event is “Everything Goes On,” a song by acclaimed vocalist, songwriter and producer, Porter Robinson. Robinson wrote, produced and sang on the song, using his soulful voice and hopeful lyrics to add a layer of longing and depth to what players will feel and see over the next 10 weeks.
“Everything Goes On” tells the story of two Star Guardians, each independently coping with loss and finding the will to move forward with their new comrades. For years, gamers have recognized Riot’s commitment to music through experiences like K/DA, True Damage and Pentakill; Star Guardian is no different.
Robinson’s well-known influences and anime culture made him the perfect collaborator for the theme of this anime-inspired event. His involvement in this campaign deepens the emotions of the players, offering a musical and resonant connection between the player and the characters within the Star Guardian universe.
“One of my favorite things in the world is the combination of music and animation. There’s something about a series of images of beloved characters and these little slices of life in dramatic moments set to emotionally intense music, that grabs me every time.”
“The idea I had is that when you take an oath to become a Star Guardian, you can live this life as a hero, but everyone you knew before forgets you. I wrote the lyrics with the perspective of one last night together and focusing on the tragedy of that”.
“Fiction plays an important role in people’s daily lives. The stories we tell ourselves and the stories we witness shape the way we see the world, and I think that in the end, this song ended up being the synthesis of scenarios of sad stories and what I was going through in my real life,” Robinson said when discussing the inspiration for the song.
