So when I first heard this, I thought it was offensively bland, but the more I've listened to it, the more I've grown to... appreciate it? I actually kinda like it now? But okay, really, songs like this never stand out to me in the games they're in, but I do think they're underappreciated. Sometimes you just need a simple, carefree song like this to remind you that things aren't all bad. This one has juuust enough excitement to appeal to me, rather than being boring. I'd say it's done a good job.

Honestly, I'm not big on the music in Team Ico games. This game in particular is quite beloved by the gaming community, some of its music included, but eh... just not my style for the most part, I guess? I'm not sure why it's never connected with me. This one is fine, but I wouldn't rave about it. My favourite part is 1:03-2:00. The harmonies between the string and wind sections are REALLY good for most of that part, but I don't like 1:21-1:31 in particular as much. I like the way it ends with the build up, followed by that slow release with a few final, quiet plucks. The rest of the song doesn't have the same impact as that middle section.
