One listen.
Initially I was going to do “Another Winter”, but I already had. Decided to jump into this song instead.
I focused more on the title and how the sounds reflected it, or how it reflected the sounds. Very light stuff written; definitely could’ve been better but I was pretty relaxed writing this (well, relatively relaxed) and I enjoyed the writing, so I’m fine with it being a bit lackuster.
Hiroki Kikuta’s (菊田 裕樹) “Ordinary People” is from Seiken Densetsu 3 Original Sound Version, the soundtrack for Seiken Densetsu 3.
I hope you enjoy.

Jaunty sounds move here and there. It’s a hustle and bustle in a quiet space, but it is a hustle and bustle. These sounds are going about their activities and finding a certain joy in the mundane. Perhaps not all, but at least it feels like most are.
These sounds go down and up and they reach a point where something a bit smaller, a bit bouncier is focused on for a moment. Something a little more innocent, before everything gets back on with its business.
More work, more getting things done. More getting through the day, and things are as is, and pleasant still. A highlighted joy among the banality of it all, and a wide range focused within singular moments. Busy among business, and so simple, yet seemingly of one’s own, in a sense. Each sound unaware of the crowd, and so on it goes until everything fades and the song ends.
