One listen.

I felt I had to rush through this one and I think that, whilst that would normally work, here it didn’t quite. I should’ve gone for another listen but I didn’t. Had I done so, I would’ve been able to expand this out a fair bit more in a way that would help with flow and

Shoji Meguro’s (目黒 将司) “Their Own Past” is from Persona 3 FES Original Soundtrack, the soundtrack for Persona 3 FES. FES is an updated version of Persona 3; my understanding is that FES‘ soundtrack is comprised of songs found in FES‘ scenario set after the main story, The Answer.

I hope you enjoy.

An oscillation gives way to keys playing along a thin and wide hum. The keys disappear; the hum grows louder, or seems to as it is joined by another, thicker hum. Another sound rises in the background and it feels off.

The oscillation returns, as do the keys and everything moves in a loop, or at least feels it does. Through the sounds a confronting seems to occur; through the loop the inevitability of what was catching up becomes apparent; through the loop the harshness of realisation is found.

Eventually the sounds begin to fade out, as do all the tension and heaviness they brought, and the song ends.
