Joe Hisaishi: Sea of Blue

One listen. I was thinking more throughout this one and I feel that harmed the writing a fair bit. I wasn’t sure if I should’ve written about the ocean, or about an experience of looking out over the ocean. I … Continue reading

Joe Hisaishi: Angel

One listen, and this one felt like it went by a lot faster than it did. Mostly switched off. Switched off more than usual, which was great. Not sure how well what I wrote represents the song, but I’m not … Continue reading

Joe Hisaishi: HANA-BI

One listen. I first heard the soundtrack this is from yesterday. Might’ve actually heard the song a while ago, but if I did I wasn’t paying it the attention I should have. Anyway, I heard the whole soundtrack yesterday, decided … Continue reading

Yasunori Mitsuda & Millenial Fair: Creid

One listen. This is another song I’ve had queued up for a while but dragged my feet on writing about, and I don’t know why, to be honest. Was easy enough to write about… for the most part. The song … Continue reading

Whytwo: Apart

One listen. I heard this song a few days ago and figured I could write about it, and I did, but I struggled. I thought too much and tried to tease things out instead of letting the writing happen. I … Continue reading

Kimitaka Matsumae: Staff Roll

One listen, and I was a bit surprised as to how little I was able to pull from what I was hearing. I think I went too hard early on which caused me to stumble a bit. Kimitaka Matsumae’s (松前公高) … Continue reading

Kimitaka Matsumae: Syrus Village

One listen. Went in, wrote away, stopped. Usually how these things go. This one, I think I was trying to paint the imagery of where the song is used and I didn’t do well there. Some vague notions, but that’s … Continue reading

Kimitaka Matsumae: Legend of Alcana ~ Main Theme

One listen. Went right in, did little active thinking, wrote and wrote and wrote some more, and it was great. Not good writing and it doesn’t quite capture the song. There’s so much more that can be said that gets … Continue reading

Kimitaka Matsumae: Opening ~ Genesis

One listen. Went in, wrote, wrote some more, finished. That’s how it went. I was just throwing words out with this one. There was a pause for thinking, but otherwise it came really quickly, which was good, I think. Kimitaka … Continue reading
