This is another one where I had an idea going. I was hoping for it to be interwoven rather than dominant, but alas.

The writing here is pretty lacking I feel. I think there’s something here but I don’t capitalise enough on it and so a rather vague and uneven presentation of a song.

Mark Morgan’s “Dream Town” is from Fallout 2‘s soundtrack, Fallout 2: The Soundtrack.

I hope you enjoy.

Bright and shining, and a little relaxed. Something relatively idyllic appears and there is a sense of peace and calm, but there is trouble. Sounds stretch and shine and present a fragility whilst strings stir underneath and come and go.

There is a prettiness and it almost seems like something otherworldly, but it is firmly rooted in reality. People go about their days trying to make ends meet and build a community that works together, but the sky shines so bright and the sun beats down with a sense of relentlessness.

The ideal fights to stay strong and strong it stays, for despite the trouble there is hard work toward strengthening the community, but a sadness and slight hope underscores it all, even as the song ends.
