One listen.

I think that, from what I wrote (I wrote this one a few days ago; none of the writings from songs of the same soundtrack were shared on the day they were written), I was thinking more about the emotional content than what the sounds were doing, and I think that, considering the type of track this is, doing so worked well.

This is probably the last song from this soundtrack that I’ll cover for a while. Mainly I did this batch of songs as I wanted to remove the soundtrack to save some space, but wanted to cover some of the songs first. Might get it again some point down the track. Not sure.

Yasunori Nishiki’s (西木 康智) “Dear Travelers” (“旅人たちへ”) is from Octopath Traveler II‘s soundtrack, Octopath Traveler II Original Soundtrack.

I hope you enjoy.

Gentle and fragile are the keys as they tell their story. In this story, a reflection of what has been, and perhaps what will be. The time has passed and memories are as such, and time continues on.

Perhaps an emotional moment; one of relief and reflection, as paths change and lives move, and threads are untangled. Or maybe they aren’t. It’s not melancholic; not bittersweet, but it is happy and sad.

On one hand the keys look back and on the other they look forward. They almost reminisce, and they play their delicate tune, with both heaviness and lightness, and they soon fade as the song ends.
