One listen.

A lot of this came from where I remember the song being used. I have a slight suspicion that my memory is not accurate regarding this, but I’m not fussed. Anyway, the writing was heavily affected by my memory of where the song is used, and I’m not sure if I represented the song well, but I do like the result.

Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “Origin” (“オリジン”) is from Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter‘s soundtrack, Breath Of Fire V – Dragon Quarter: Original Soundtrack. The soundtrack was also released as part of Breath of Fire Original Soundtrack Special Box a soundtrack collection of the soundtracks for Breath of Fire I through to V.

I hope you enjoy.

Voices express a mystery and reverence. A sudden shock of seeing what is unknown, hidden away in a darkened murk. They tell of something spoken of in legend, only found to be real. Fable being history, and history found in the present.

The voices call and seek, and look to connect. What is new and not understood, perhaps difficult to fully comprehend, is now here, and seeks to change the order of things. It changes the trajectory of a life, and it raises questions that perhaps weren’t thought of before.

An unshakeable conviction begins to form in this reverent space, and purpose is given to follow. And in moving forward, the voices fade and the song ends.
