Portal 2 Ending Song Written By Same "Still Alive" Author, Jonathan Coulton

I bet that if you close your eyes and concentrate really hard you can remember the exact moment of realization as you finished Portal of exactly what Valve had done with Still Alive. Not just created gaming’s most memorable credits song. But found a way to make the end of its game feel like more of a reward than any triumphant cutscene you’d care to mention.

And apparently Jonathan Coulton, the man who wrote the original as as well as some other music you may find speaks to the innermost recesses of the geeky heart, was not only tapped to make a new song for the fortunately manageably delayed and Electronic Arts distributed Portal 2, but has already completed it. And here I thought miracles only happened in Insane Clown Posse songs. “Closing the doors. If this plane goes down, the Portal 2 song goes with it. It is in my pocket…” is what the man himself tweeted to let people know.
