One listen.

I was a bit hesitant at first. Told myself to just write and got on with it, and the below came out. I think it could be better, but overall this gets across an idea of how the song sounds and travels well enough.

Akira Kaida (海田 明里) and Yoshino Aoki’s (青木佳乃) “A Light” is from Breath of Fire III Sound Collection, the soundtrack for Breath of Fire III. My understanding is that the song (and the rest of the soundtrack) was first included on Breath of Fire Original Soundtrack Special Box, a collection of all the music (as far as I’m aware) used for the Breath of Fire Series. There is a soundtrack album called Breath of Fire III: Original Soundtrack that was released at some point around the time of Breath of Fire III‘s release but it is a selection of songs from the game rather than the whole soundtrack.

I hope you enjoy.

Coming into view, a bright and vague hum seems to spread and fill the entirety of the space. Some light percussion rises and falls upon it, inhaling and exhaling. Woodwind flickers in and wafts along, and that hum also rises and falls in this moment.

It all stops and then starts again, and there’s something peaceful, perhaps. There’s something off about it too; there’s something tense in these sounds… something melancholic, but it all carries a tune and it permeates, and stops once more, and the song ends.
