I tend to avoid most popular music genres, but singer-songwriter type music tends to cater towards me! Its simple, but enjoyable. It has a depressing feeling that I like. Lyrics are good. I find the acoustic guitar use refreshing ... the way it highlights the sharp 6 at the phrase ends, for example. Multiple guitar voices complementing each otherI like the upper syncopated stuff, the way the patterns bounce around. The soft backup voices are nice. The music slows, and the music ends Then out of the blue, you get this HUGE explosion of hard rock. SO EPIC, OMGOMG!!! Guitar impromptu-ish playing so groovy! Love the way it gets bluesy towards the end, the way its supposed to end, but then it keeps going up with that last TASTEFUL ornament before hitting the last note! Thats how you reach your destiny!!!

139) Umineko no Naku Koro ni 1 - Hope
Series rank: 11 of 15
https://youtu.be/xOq7ZNTPVug
Composer: dai
Score: 7.2/10 (Great)
VGMC History: VGMC 3 (Lost R4), VGMC 4 (Champion)
Favorite Part: The first 18 seconds

Finally we get our first "champion" on the list! Great instrumentation at the start! The electronic bells are very pretty. Piano flourishes are like water crystals! The build up of instrumentation is nice in the first half of it very pretty. I like how the "intro" melody turns into support for the "real" melody at 0:21... it makes for some nice counterpoint. The sustained (delayed) string synthsI wish they weren't delayed, and the sound quality isn't the greatest, though it provides fullness of sound. It's nice how the harmonies use the 5th of the scale for all sorts of harmonic usage...I, vi (7th), IV (9th), V.... Then at 1:18 the synth goes from staying on the root of the chords to ending on the 7th of a surprise new chord (major VI)! (oh, hey, the 5th note of the scale again) Nice climactic there IS a pretty climactic moment 2:24 - 2:27, the way it takes the climax part of the melody and halves the speed. <3
