One listen.

I’m not sure what I wrote here. I mean, I can read it and I know what I wrote, but I’m not “sure” of it, if that makes sense.

Yoko Shimomura’s (下村陽子) “Treasured Memories” is from Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack, the soundtrack for Kingdom Hearts. It’s also from (among many other releases), Kingdom Hearts Original Soundtrack COMPLETE.

I hope you enjoy

Lingering keys above strings, and they are gentle and comforting. They move and dip and rise, slow, let themselves linger briefly, draw out and waft and rise. They rise and rise, and yet remain where they are, looking to touch something and reflect.

The sounds reflect and stay gentle, and they lift forward what matters most in the moment, and what they feel should most be held onto. There is something that they are presenting, but they present without force. They carry sentimentality upon them, and stay focused on their gentle pattern as they fade out and the song ends.
