despite having One Job(tm), I didn't do that one job, so have some lyrics disconnected from videos:

Indra

(The enemy -- they're here?)
Not yet. Keep your cool
(The sun -- it's rising!)
Not yet. Keep your cool
For now, let something warm in, keep it close

(The enemy -- they're here?)
Go forth; draw your sword

Everyone, one and all, wants to live
Thus do our hearts shatter
Thus do we hold our heads high

Someday, we'll chase the wind, far into the distance
Searching, each of us, for a precious treasure
I'll do it, I promise. Pinky swear me

In our eyes, the lightning of anger
At our backs,
A hand pushing us to the future

By hook or by crook, everything but the kitchen sink
Sometimes you still come up empty; don't be cried
You're led by the nose, going every which way
Scrambling for an escape

(The enemy -- did you see them?)
Not yet. Keep your cool
(The enemy -- they're coming!)
Not yet. Keep your cool
For now, find yourself a souvenir

(The enemy -- did you see them?)
Go forth; leave nothing on the table

To the ends of the universe; in that nook
Even an ant stands tall
Against a giant

From this too-blue sky
Let fall a red rain
Like an artist loosing her paints
Roll up your sleeves
And frantically give it your all

Something clings to me. Someone's blood and guts
Death marks the end
We but count the seconds

By hook or by crook, we're whittled down
We struggle and scream, on land sea and air
A spider's thread, enough for one person
Go down

By hook or by crook, everything but the kitchen sink
Sometimes hide, a bomb shelter
Their whims decide who lives and who dies
Show some backbone

Before I Rise

Let me plant a kiss on your neck
And breathe in your scent
That, or maybe just end it all

One sunny day after school
Bullets rained down
And so began the tragic season

The wind fell still
The windmills fell still
The bellows fell still
Sound fell still
My breath fell still
My heart fell still
And so, once everything has come to an end--

Please, be by my side
I love even this nightmare so much it drives me insane
Smile, if you can
To be together
For a billion lightyears --
That's all I ever wanted from you

Would it be so bad
If we cast it all aside
And frolicked like children?

I know! Tomorrow, I'll go to the beach
And bring all the toys I can
And maybe you can come too?

The wind blew
The windmills turned
The bellows blew
And then came a roar
I took a breath
I heard my heart thump
And so everything stirred to life

The dream lasted so long
I'd wanted to wake up sooner, to laugh it all away
So, turn this into one of those fairy tales
Where you hurry up and kiss me
Where you sweep me off my feet
Is that too much to ask, my prince?

My heart's so lonely
Love's banished from sight
No number could describe my feelings
And yet I tremble
And yet my pulse beats on
Like wreckage bobbing to the surface

Please, stay by my side
Yes, you: stay by my side
I don't care if it's a dream
Just keep acting like you never woke up
Don't disappear too
Stripping my memory of even your scent
And leaving me alone in the world --
Don't let that happen, Oh Lord!

I certainly like what Moon Wind Demon Legend (where did "hell" come from) brings to the table, even if I wish we'd gotten a more stylistically varied selection. That said, I don't think any of them rise to the level of astounding for me -- and, well. I started playing HBR solely because of the OST. To say I think it's "astounding" is perhaps an understatement.

I have recovered so you all have to live with my stream of consciousness once again :)

Nearly forgot how, well, powerfully radiant this track is. This seriously feels like a godlike boss battle. So fucking intense and strong. I like the use but not over reliance on Japanese instruments.

Powerfully radiant is an apt way to describe this one too, especially the backing instrumental and chanting portions. I remember not being too hot on the main vocalist last I've heard this, but it was definitely more of a lukewarm response than outright dislike. I think I was just disappointed that this song wasn't as scary as the intro suggested LOL

This one's got a really thrilling back and forth to it. Another intense track to fight to. The first track I think has more to it for me to grip onto but this one is great too.

Light and airy and really sweet. Good music to represent a chill morning or afternoon with friends. Not a single worry to be had.

Whoa yeah the cat noises make this one cheesy and fun. I think this kind of sound could easily be too cheap, but I think its done well enough.

Oh we got some nice acoustic sounds with this one. The vocals work nicely with this sound, simple but not boring. Definitely more into this than I am into Indra. A breathtaking, emotional little piece.

Indra wasn't my type of song at all, so I'm quite surprised by how much I liked the next two songs from the soundtrack. Life in the Base is my type of ambiance & Before I Rise seems to have lyrics that I love (thank you, dowolf).

GetsuFumaDen did have a good set too, but I really like HBR music. Life in the Base -morning- is particularly great.

Radiant Golden Thunder is incredibly good! And Life in the Base -morning- sounds like a loose arrangement of Heal from ICO

Indra's quite good, though I don't think the shifts between moods work for me. I might love it if it stayed spooky/intense throughout. The other songs do nothing for me. Like, they're fine, but there's other sad/fun Key songs that I'm more into.

All the GetsuFumaDen tracks are good stuff!
