We continue to answer questions about The Last of Us 2 in our series of game guides. In this guide, we want to tell you what song Joel plays for Ellie on guitar in The Last of Us 2.
When The Last of Us 2 begins, we get to know Joel and Tommy again, where they live in Wyoming and what Ellie is up to. Joel then gives Ellie a guitar, but first he plays a song on it. If you're trying to find the real version, here's everything you need to know about what song Joel plays for Ellie at the start of The Last of Us 2.
The scene begins with Ellie listening to the song she plays in the original trailer for The Last of Us 2. This is Across the Valley by Sean James, which was completely unknown at the time. The song that Joel plays is a little more famous, but certainly not to everyone.
The song he plays is "Future Days" by Pearl Jam. While Joel's actor Troy Baker can sing very well in real life, the Pearl Jam song is a great choice as Eddie Vedder's voice is fairly easy to imitate and Joel himself is not known as a singer.
Lightning Bolt, an album featuring the song Future Days, was released in October 2013, so the timing is interesting. In 2013, the last of us 2 came out, it was then that the outbreak of infection should have begun. If Joel knows this song, the event should have happened towards the end of 2013.
