“Layla” in a Café
A good few weeks ago I was in Dirty Red, and the piano exit section of “Layla” was playing and it was quiet, and it made me think of Casino, when Robert De Niro’s character is talking about Las Vegas changing … Continue reading
Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi: Yuna’s Ballad
This song is used in Final Fantasy X-2, a game I have but have never finished. It’s possible that I’ve heard it play in the game but I’ve no recollection so I don’t know when it is used. That said, I … Continue reading

Akari Kaida: Opening the Gate
Four listens for this one. I struggled a fair bit more than I thought I would. The song is short – it is pretty much just a brief introductory piece – but I thought I’d be able to get a … Continue reading

Hiroki Kikuta: Angel’s Fear
Seiken Densetsu 3 has some pretty heavy tracks to its soundtrack that work really well when used, such as this one. I was trying to get across what I felt the imagery was when divorced from its gameplay-related context and … Continue reading

Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi: Kuon: Memories of Waves and Light
This mostly came easy. I think I stopped a few times but I was still able to get out a fair bit for one listen. I think this is due to not focusing so much on what was happening and … Continue reading

Mouse on the Keys: Stars Down
Written over one listen. I think I was mostly just looking to capture the song as it progressed but I didn’t think too much about the approach which may have been a good thing. I’m really not sure. The song … Continue reading
Shoji Meguro: Living With Determination
This one was written over three listens. I was trying to get across what I think the song is trying to get across and it didn’t quite work. Probably could’ve done more, but that did not happen, so yeah. Shoji … Continue reading
Yasunori Mitsuda: Chronopolis
Two listens for this one. I wanted to write about this song for a little while, but I probably should’ve done it in the morning when I’d be less tired than I am now. I feel I should’ve given this … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Another Nightmare
I thought this was going to be more difficult to write but I had an easy time. Three listens and focused on describing the song. Sort of did alright. Could’ve done better, but it was a bit of a fight … Continue reading

Midnight Oil: Antarctica
Midnight Oil are a band that I’m quite fond of. I’ve listened to them not anywhere near as much as I’d like, but perhaps more than I believe. “Antarctica” is a song I listened to quite a lot whilst I … Continue reading
