One listen, and it came easy for part of it. Kind of hit a bit of a wall as I started thinking too much about what I should be trying to capture. I don’t think that shows, but I do think the writing could be better.

Michiko Naruke’s (なるけみちこ) “Spilling from the Palms” (“掌からこぼれおちて“) is from Wild Arms Advanced 3rd Original Soundtrack, the soundtrack for Wild Arms Advanced 3rd.

I hope you enjoy.

A guitar rings out before it starts dancing along with some light percussion. It seems to encircle itself to form a gentle, flowing rhythm in an empty space upon which woodwind glides and floats. It drifts along with a purpose, seems to catch on a stronger breeze for a moment and moves with more energy for that moment, and finds itself highlighted by another woodwind before it settles.

The woodwind rises and rises, and the percussion urges it on before it pulls away. The guitar flutters and now rises, and seems a flurry to which the woodwind follows along and eventually enters, and the guitar settles, if only a little. The guitar flicks in this space and all returns to a beginning, and dances once more.

Through this space the sounds carry, and they travel in a unison as they seem no longer to dance, but move on forward in a breeze moving through a still and seemingly quiet land. They seem to carry in isolation and search and drift, and they look for their moments.

The sounds continue to look as all fades and the song ends.
