One listen.

Went in, described the song. Described some of it well enough.

Yasunori Nishiki’s (西木 康智) “Main Theme (Night)” (“メインテーマ -夜-“) is from Octopath Traveler II‘s soundtrack, Octopath Traveler II Original Soundtrack.

I hope you enjoy.

Lightly keys lap whilst voice hums along next to them. A little bit of that familiar sadness creeps in, and it seems that this is a quieter reflection of the heavy dramatic. The vocals rise but don’t soar, and they they diminish whilst the keys sort of oscillate around a light pattern. Percussion comes in to gently touch, then a rising once more.

It sort of drops down as woodwind comes in to take a lead. Strings rise up and push out whilst keeping focus inward, and the dance of sounds stir and swell, but don’t rise too far.

As said before, it’s that familiar sadness. Woodwind returns, and it’s all dramatic, but it’s calmly dramatic. It looks forward and reaches out, and the sounds push and they keep moving up and down, and all pull back, and suddenly it’s just keys for a moment. Sounds stir and build around them as the keys linger on some hope, before they disappear. Soon what remains stops and the song ends.
