A very uplifting song. Coker is really light on his feet here, dancing around with this joyous melody. This is one of the happiest songs in the ranking, and like all happy things, it comes tinged with sadness, or at least melancholy. Its another song that exists for me at the boundary of two seemingly competing emotions. Very impressive effort.

Speaking of weirdly sad songs, Sky Sands (woo alliteration) is both sad and haunting. Nothing happy here! I dont know what the context is in the actual game, but Im picturing traveling through an abandoned city, or even an abandoned civilization. Kirby games often have these pieces that are super melancholy and achingly beautiful at the same time.

Sorry for double drop This is Lena Raine as Ive never heard her before, in full glitch mode. Many listeners would probably find this repellent, with all the crackling and glitching. It feels like the electronic version of mouth noises on a vocal track, very up close and unpleasant. But I really like it! The whole song sounds intimate, despite its electronic origins.

Your Turn to Die - Kaisou

This is my favorite of the YTTD songs, or at least its the one that wound up ranked the highest I feel like these songs are a little interchangeable and dependent on my mood when I listen to them. But theyre all pretty great! This one has percussion that sounds like a clock, so naturally Id put it in first~

I really like everything about this one. The off-kilter melody, the off-putting synths, the squeaking, the factory-esque background shuffling, and especially the cut up vocal samples. This is a song with immense character. I feel like this could fit right in on the GiFTPiA soundtrack, which is a huge compliment! I think this game, whatever it might be, got into a BOST some years back and I didnt pay it much mind. Now I kind of regret that
