One listen.

This song sounds simple and I guess it is, but it’s also one you’d have to pay close attention to if you were going to play it faithfully. But I digress.

Just threw myself in. There were some pauses, but overall it was an easy write to do. Not sure if that was good for the writing, but I’m not overly fussed here.

I think I described the song up to a point. I have a feeling that this is not representative of where the song is used; I’m actually fairly certain it isn’t, but I still think I got something across.

Nobuo Uematsu’s (植松 伸夫) “Light of Destiny” (“召喚されし者”) is from Final Fantasy IX: Original Soundtrack the soundtrack for Final Fantasy IX.

I hope you enjoy.

A rising and falling, almost odd sounding, and shifting, and continues on its loop, and almost detached whilst firmly there. Anchoring and odd. Off. Percussion echoes metallic into the space, picking precise notes to create a flow almost otherworldly. It too is anchoring. It draws in as it picks its moments, playing out, moving out, and then disappears.

The rising and falling continues on. It continues and lets the moment sink in, and then that percussion returns. It seems gentle and perhaps in a way welcoming. Comforting. However, it still feels off. It feels eerie, and it continues onward, picking its moments and letting itself echo off before disappearing once more.

What remains gradually fades out, and the song ends.
