How do I put this? This song was straight up assassinated. Specifically by the song it's based off of, Going to Lunatea, from the same game:

What do I mean by that? Well, GtL was a song I was already familiar with before the project, knew really well, and importantly really liked. The Sorrow Revives seems to quite intentionally take the same melody, but then literally cuts it up, removing sections from it to intentionally trip your up ear on a melody that you thought you knew. Honestly, it drives me up the wall, because the entire time I keep expecting it to be Going to Lunatea, but then it goes in a weird direction, which makes me sad. It's a shame because I really try to view the songs on their own merits, but it's kinda just a fact that I think I'd like this more if I didn't know about GtL first. It's not all bad though: the new part starting at 0:55 is pretty tight, and I like how the overall song sounds more intense and serious compared to the more whimsical original.
