One listen, and it was somewhere between easy and difficult to write. I think some of this captures the song well and some of it captures the song poorly.

Junko Ozawa’s (小沢 純子) “The Windmill Song” is from Klonoa of the Wind: Door to Phantomile Original Soundtrack (風のクロノア Door to Phantomile オリジナルサウンドトラック). It’s the soundtrack for the game Klonoa: Door to Phantomile.

Woodwind dances joyfully. It has a hop and a skip in its step, and soon more sound comes in and carries the bliss of the scene forward.

A full, breezy sound, travelling with a great energy. A great curiosity and adventure in it. Wonder, wonderment, wonderful. The sounds move forward, move through their stages. They move and urge, and they express a certain kind of curiosity and excitement. One that comes from a youthful innocence.

The sounds move in and out as needed, and at times they pull back a little, but the energy remains. The energy keeps coming through it all. keeping the flow going. And it all feels like the beginning of an adventure. Of an innocence, and whilst it’s big and maybe bombastic, it’s still small. It has so much joy in it all. These sounds could be the happiest, and they are, and they carry that breeze. They flow with the wind, and they keep on flowing all the way to the song’s end.
