We all know the missions of Cyberpunk 2077 are named after various songs. What isn’t discussed enough or even talked about is how exactly these songs relate to what’s occurring in the exact mission whether that’s a surface based connection or a much deeper one surrounding the devs and songwriters. I aim to highlight that connection.
This is the link to the playlist for the first video!

I was waiting for this, gonna be a great vid
Cyberpunk 2077 is just one giant BD… keep on dancing 💃🕺
Good video again and well said at 7:58
Just came off of part one and I’m so glad I’m just in time for part 2. These videos are awesome man.
Great videos man I had always wondered if they were just songs for the sake of it or actually had meaning cool to see that they do
saw this pop up in my feed and audibly said "hell yeah"
Nice, love the video! Waiting for more!
I love that you're going into detail about each song and how it relates to the quest, rather than just mentioning each song and moving on
cannot wait for the PL episode
Really awesome video! Absolutely love your breakdown of the context of the songs. One minor thing though, you keep referring to V as male, but since V can be a both male and female (or neither) I think it might be more inclusive to refer to them as “they”. I personally mostly played as fem V and just found it brought me out of the video a bit when you kept calling V a “him”. But that’s just a very minor thing honestly, really cool video series idea and please keep up the awesome work!
I also feel that for the search amd destroy mission while not of the same name sake, metallica's "Seek and Destroy" could work
If I'm not mistaken, Mike Pondsmith said that the mission names are named after songs that Johnny specifically liked
Part: SideQuests when!??
You missed the one that popped up right at the end. Nocturne op55 no1 is a piece by Polish composer Frederick Chopin.
Would it be a good idea to listen to the songs the missions are named after during the mission? Also does this mean all those artists exist in the cyberpunk universe?
i just realized that down on the street, gimme danger, and search and destroy are all by the stooges, making them the three stooges
My favorite headcannon for the PL mission names is that they’re songs that Songbird likes instead of Johnny’s favorite songs. Just because the songs have a different vibe (more gothy)
Great video man!
Adding to the act one thing about the names is if you read into the descriptions of the jobs you easily find that it's Jackie writing all the briefs out for you and even a really sad farewell at the end of act one where he effectively says he expected it to end like this but you keep going and to not forget about him
I'll be real, my very first playthrough, when I was going through Judy's missions, when I saw Disasterpiece come up as a mission name, as a Slipknot fan myself? I'm not ashamed to admit, I got scared. With everything that had happened in the questline up to that point, the focus on Snuff Media, the established casual cruelty of the Scavs, I took that as an early warning that nothing about Evelyn's story was gonna work out in the end.
For additional context for viewers who have not heard it, the album Disasterpiece is on, Iowa, is infamous for being written and recorded when multiple band members were at their lowest. The album's intro track, (515), features reversed audio of Sid Wilson screaming over and over again in the booth, until he was reportedly coughing blood, as his grandfather had recently died and he wasn't handling the loss well. Corey has openly admitted he was puking and cutting himself in the recording booth while recording many of his vocals, and multiple band members have since admitted they were struggling with various forms of substance abuse during the Iowa period.
Additionally, the opening lines of Disasterpiece describe an act that would, sadly, not exactly be out-of-band for the Scavs to perform on a captive intended for xBD recording, like Evelyn.
The moment that mission title came up, I had a growing feeling of dread as I went through the mission. And I suspect anyone familiar with the song, and the album's background, felt something similar.
Once the Cyberpunk missions relating to songs Series is done, I can imagine Red Dead Redemption 2 being next in line.
"Jankowska" should be pronounced as "Iankowska". She is Polish, Pronunciation there is different.
