So there are these two songs at the end of Portal and Portal 2.
When Portal 2 first came out, it was said that Want You Gone wasn't anywhere near as good as Still Alive, and I agreed with the caveat that Want You Gone was worse partly because Portal 2 was expected to have an ending song, unlike Portal.
Now, a year after Portal 2 has been out, I've come to the conclusion that Still Alive is a better song in general and for expressing lore about Aperture Science than Want You Gone, but Want You Gone fit Portal 2 better than Still Alive fit the first Portal.
But that's just me. What are your thoughts?
