The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings Winding Through Avidya Keves Battle [blank line here if additional contents after] Brilliant Wings is really cool and fun. Sometimes, you can feel in a song how everyone involved in its production was just having the time of their lives; this is one of those times. There's just so much joy in the piece's soul. Unfortunately, it's up against one of my favorite "new discoveries" from Genshin, where "new" is in quotes because I've played way too much of that game and yet had never heard this song because I'd never really watched any of their trailers. Whoops? It's easily my favorite rendition of the Sumeru main theme/motif/whatever word I'm supposed to use, and that was already one my favorite themes. Dubstep with Persian instrumentation just works; what can I say? Todokanu Kotoba -- nitpick time: this is "words that will never reach you." I'm saying them in the present, knowing they will be in vein. In vain? Yeah in vain. Spelling was a mistake. A simple ballad, but I'm a simpleton. Up against it is more Sumeru goodness, though. I dunno I just listen to that flute dancing up to the rafters on a ladder of strings and I'm in heaven. Then we shift into a chill Persian melody, the kind you might just hear in a random bar. Well, maybe not any real world bar THE POINT IS the bar in this paragraph is much better than any real world bar and I want to go there. Love the neat little countermelody in the final third; it really brings the piece home. And then everything drops away except that countermelody ooh now that is how you do an ending. Battle Against Those Stupid Bats In Zelda Games starts off solid but unremarkable. It sounds like a Xenoblade battle theme. Which I am technically a sucker for I guess. Plus it's got my best friend HAM FLUTE! As the biggest HAM FLUTE fan on b8, thank you for giving me HAM FLUTE goodness. I think I slightly like Brilliant Words more than this but it's super solid. I uh really don't like No Turning Back. It just doesn't work for me. I don't really know why. Especially since I associate it with an area in Genshin that's super cool. I can't believe you included two songs with the word "words" in their titles but neither has vocals I feel INCREDIBLY blue balled right now. (edit: okay i genuinely don't know how Brilliant Wings turned into Brilliant Words in my brain and I am forced to conclude that I am stupid.) --- Nonsense. "Testing" is for when you're still guessing--and now, I have no need to guess. -- Agatha, Girl Genius ... Copied to Clipboard!

Brilliant Wings takes an already phenomenal battle theme and changes it up in a way that still feels fresh, while also kicking about the same amount of ass. I may prefer Kaleidoscopic Core for being a more drastic departure of the song it remixes, but this is still pretty great. Also Melia is best girl. Man, the intro of this one really makes me think I'm about to hear Arabian Nights from Aladdin and I can't un-hear this. Kind of loses me a little when it turns into rhythm game shiz. I'm guessing it sounds less jarring in the trailer this song represents ... It only lasts a few seconds though, so no real biggie. We have here a very powerful track, albeit one that likely hits harder in context. The main motif sells the quiet intensity to me. Really lovely track that feels like a great homage to Indian culture. Hope this motif gets reused for like a domain theme or smth. I like how it almost feels like each instrument takes its turn in the limelight with this one. The interplay of piano and flute is especially great. Oh look if it isn't my favourite Genshin song. I love the slow build of tension, the "bubbly" sound, the atmosphere! Love it how it just pauses... and then releases with a more powerful sound and quicker speed ... and have I mentioned that I love those little bubbly sounds ???

Brilliant Wings Winding through Avidya No Turning Back Some strong matchups today, but fairly confident in my votes for a change. Part that could be assigned to a viola and that would be mildly fun to play with the indicated dynamics (re M3)? Sign me up. Would have been happy with 1:50 onwards just being the whole track. ...
