One listen, and I hit a wall early on in this one. Got too stuck on the idea of trying to detail the imagery I was getting. I think I captured the song well enough, but I think it’s clear how much I stumbled.

Yasunori Mitsuda & Millenial Fair’s (光田 康典 & ミレニアル・フェア) “Lahan” is from Creid. The album is an arranged soundtrack based on music from Xenogears.

I hope you enjoy.

A few percussive strikes and everything is now festive. Everything is moving, lively. There is life here. Bristling with it. Sounds glide in and around each other, and there seems to be some sort of dancing happening. Some sort of dance among the hustle and bustle. And the sounds continue on.

Weaving in and out, bringing colour and life to everything, picking up in energy and intensity as the sounds descend into a moment for pause among the throng. And once a sense of location is restored, onward the journey continues.

All sorts of people will all sorts of dispositions continue their way, continue on, and somewhere there is a dance. There are festivities, and there is joy, and that joy moves to and fro, and people go about their business. They interact, they agree and disagree, they laugh and cry, and they find themselves firmly alive. Firmly alive and in the moment, and among the spirit of it all.

And voices come down and people sing, and it seems almost introspective. Almost pondering, but it doesn’t last and festivities take over in full, moving toward a point where it’s just the voices socialising at the song’s end.
