Nobuo Uematsu: Sealed Door

One listen. I did a few checks on this one to see if I’d written it before. Yesterday I found out that I wrote about “Brink of Time” (“時の最果て”) twice, so I combined them into one piece. Been a bit … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: The Mines of Narshe

One listen. This is a song I’m quite familiar with, and my comfort in that familiarity may have hampered the writing a bit as instead of switching off, I wrote what I already thought, mainly. There are some parts of … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Opening Theme

One listen. Wanted to write about this song for a few days and had concerns that I already had, but apparently I hadn’t, unless I did, in which case I can’t find what I wrote, so… yeah. I think I … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Light of Destiny

One listen. This song sounds simple and I guess it is, but it’s also one you’d have to pay close attention to if you were going to play it faithfully. But I digress. Just threw myself in. There were some … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Lifestream

One listen and I feel it was an easy write, but I also struggled in that I didn’t bring enough forward. I think I was trying to stick too close what happens with Final Fantasy VII’s plot plot when the song … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Trail of Blood

I’m somewhat surprised that I was able to write as many words as I did here. Should be more surprised at my thinking I wouldn’t get much out of the song. Probably isn’t much but it was more than I … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Main Theme

Six listens for this one, though it feels like many, many more. This one was a real challenge, partly due to being rather tired. I think that if I had spent time breaking down the song and working on the … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Main Theme II

This was a struggle to write. It may have to do with the song’s length and its simplicity. Still, there is a fair bit that can be drawn out of it, I think. At first I tried describing the instrumentation, … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: The Boundless Ocean

Almost feel like I’m writing more bad poetry with this one. Six listens. I probably could’ve gotten more out of this one, but it’s a rather short tune. Nobuo Uematsu’s () “The Boundless Ocean” (“果てしなき大海原”) is from the soundtrack for … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Eternal Wind

For this one I went more for describing what was happening with the song rather than imagery. Not sure why but I felt it was appropriate. Three listens this was written over. Nobuo Uematsu’s (植松 伸夫) “Eternal” (“悠久の風”) is from … Continue reading
