One listen, and to be honest I thought I’d have more to say.
It’s a short piece but a rich one, but not much came forward. Happens.

Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “Abandoning Power” (“捨て去りし力”) is from the soundtrack for Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XII Original Soundtrack.

I hope you enjoy.

Gentle keys rolling into a fade as vocals follow along. Gentle, and perhaps sad and relieving. Soon strings come in and pulse whilst woodwind flutters over it all, gently, lightly and yet heavily.

The sounds all turn to something a bit more up and relieving, and brass comes in with a brief punctuation, as does more woodwind, and it’s all angular for a moment before everything suddenly returns to the start.

The moment repeats and reinforces, and there’s affirmation and relief, and confidence in the decision. Suddenly the sounds roll and spread out in a positive way, in reassurance, and they keep themselves brief before everything fades out and the song ends.
