One listen, though a few early restarts.

I was trying to get across the sense of adventure in the song as, whilst it does have a heaviness and urgency, it still feels quite journey-like in a way. I don’t think I succeeded as it feels a little too much like grabbing whatever word I could in the hopes of making sense rather than just writing about the song.

As a side note, I’m not sure on the fiddle and violin. It may have been completely fiddle; it may have been completely violin. No idea.

Yasunori Mitsuda’s (光田 康典) “Chrono Cross ~Scars of Time~” (“CHRONO CROSS ~時の傷痕~”) is from Chrono Cross Original Soundtrack, the soundtrack for Chrono Cross.

I hope you enjoy.

Muted brightness shines on whilst percussion strikes and sparkles and bass places its notes here and there. It’s a seeming quiet of sorts; a space before waking and stirring. Woodwind comes in, along with guitar and, along with the bass, the sounds intertwine and guide toward a new state.

Percussion comes in and charges with some sort of fiddle, and either that or violin takes over where the woodwind was. The sounds seemingly charge and rush and glide, and there is a tension and danger in them. There also is dance and flow, and it keeps going until the percussion pulls away, leaving room for the other sounds to permeate.

At the right moment the percussion returns, as do other sounds and it’s a full on feast of sound; a climax looking for the right note, the right moment, and as soon as it does all the sounds stop, and then silence at the song’s end.
