Disillusions of grandeur

THIS MEDLEY. THAT IS ALL.

Love the vocals/lyrics. They fit so well with Homestuck's darker themes of death and loss.

Sometimes I think that Okami's art overshadows its music, which is a pity since the OST is just as gorgeous. This piece is so haunting and melancholic and sweet (for lack of a better description).

Love the chorals at the beginning and the bells at the end. This isn't a song about a funeral so much as an ascension.

A cappella covers at their finest.

Haunting, whimsical, and epic.

A beautiful story contained within one small melody.

Say what you want about Waka (from his infuriating flippancy to his calculating chessmaster tactics) but he had a stunning battle theme.

This piece sounds absolutely lush and gorgeous, like warm candlelight and a glass of Riesling. It really should be played in a grand opera house like it was in the game.

This is, without a doubt, the best medley for Square's Chrono series that I have ever heard. Blue skies, firelight and shadows, winds that skim the water's surface- all those things are present in the music, which is a fantastic orchestral arrangement of the original compositions. It's a piece that inspires a strong emotional response, both from the nostalgic memories of the games and from the beauty of the music itself.

Jake thinks this is some kind of dream but decides that even if was, things wouldn't be any less real. And the moonlight spreads across the endless waves that wash up on the shore.
