[Great lyrics.]

On my second trip through the songs, this one really clicked for me. I'm usually interested in lines about taking comfort in shadows or darkness, so this song always had a bit of an advantage--but I feel there was something more to it, something where I really connected to the song or the story it told or something. Unfortunately that was, like, a month ago and I didn't make any notes about it? And I'm just not as into it tonight for whatever reason.

Song is a cover, but vastly superior to the original version. The other one feels like some techno dance...thing...that I actively don't want to listen to.

I've never played Iji, so I can't tell you how well this song fits the game. I've heard good things about it (the game and the way this song fits into it), but as that's all secondhand information from people that loved the game enough to talk about it and its soundtrack, the sources are probably a li'l biased.

[ts nice, feels like it could be a world map theme for a new Wild ARMs. Probably not something Ill listen to often, but its pretty.]

It's good adventuring music. Like if I were to go exploring somewhere, I wouldn't mind having this play on a loop for a while.

[Final Thoughts: What's with all the dead air after the song ends? I didn't hold back any points due to it, but it's an odd choice.

I'm also not entirely sure how I feel about this upload having chopped the song in half. The full version is kinda like Lady Fantasy, with the song divided into multiple parts (The Fantasy Lake & Book of Dreams)--this upload omits the entirety of Book of Dreams... and I can understand why. If all you want is the first half of the song, having a different song at the end would be annoying. But I think I rather like Book of Dreams?

There's something mysterious about the opening to that section, like finding an ancient, mystic cave on your journey. The pay off to the exploration of "The Fantasy Lake". But then, I've only listened to the Book portion twice, so it has a newness factor that the Lake doesn't and may be slightly overvalued as a result.

...Even less related to anything, but I like whatever visualization is going on in that full video. I don't understand anything about it, beyond 'there are dots that flash on and off', but it looks kinda neat.

So...would the full version have scored any higher? Probably not? I don't see myself giving more than a 7 to either version of the song, so it would likely wind up in a similar place regardless. It's just interesting to compare the different versions of the song.]
