One listen. Not sure what I was thinking as I wrote this. Sort of hit a wall and followed it rather than move in another direction. Oh well.

Yasunori Mitsuda’s (光田 康典) “Memories of Green” (“みどりの思い出”) is from Chrono Trigger‘s soundtrack, Chrono Trigger Original Sound Version.

I hope you enjoy.

Gentle sounds play out, drifting without a care. Without a rush. Woodwind soon comes in, drifting over. The time feels idyllic. It’s almost peaceful. It’s almost innocent, young and fresh.

Strings replace the woodwind and follow the same melody, and the air is cool. The air is refreshing, and clouds drift on by, as do the days. All passes with little care and worry. The days are young and free, and all is perfect. All is idyllic. All is almost a memory.

These moments of peace should last, but only do when fought for. They continue on, drifting in ignorance, then drifting framed by a desire to protect, as not all tat ignorance can be held on to, and what can be is worth protecting.

Drifting on, floating like a cloud, the sounds fade and the song ends.
