Hitoshi Sakimoto: Near the Water

One listen. I went in once more thinking about where this song is used. I realise I could’ve said something a bit different which would’ve been more fitting, but the below is what I went for and it does work … Continue reading

Hayato Matsuo: Seeking Power

One listen, and this one was a bit of a struggle to do. I decided to go more for a really vague narrative than anything else which helped. Still, I wasn’t able to switch off enough and that comes through. … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Prelude to the Void

I did this one over one listen, and I think the main reason why is that I’m highly familiar with the song. I think that, having not listened to it in a good while also helped as I wasn’t overthinking. … Continue reading

Underworld: Glam Bucket

One listen. This song does tension well. Seems like it doesn’t at first, but as it progresses it becomes more obvious. Not sure I got that across, but I got a lot of words that cover the song well out, … Continue reading

Zuntata: Network

One listen. I feel like I completely misread the track. It’s from a game I used to play a lot, but it has been a long time since I last touched it and I don’t remember where some things play. … Continue reading

King Crimson: Sartori in Tangier

One listen. I don’t think I had much of anything for this one. I like what I wrote, but I also feel it drags. King Crimson’s “Sartori in Tangier” is from Beat. I hope you enjoy. — A sort of … Continue reading

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Eruyt Village

One listen. Heard this song for the first time in a while a few days ago. Onto the list of things I wanted to write about very soon after. Threw myself in and I think I got a little stuck, … Continue reading

Shoji Meguro: Their Own Past

One listen. I felt I had to rush through this one and I think that, whilst that would normally work, here it didn’t quite. I should’ve gone for another listen but I didn’t. Had I done so, I would’ve been … Continue reading

Yasunori Mitsuda: Chrono Cross ~Scars of Time~

One listen, though a few early restarts. I was trying to get across the sense of adventure in the song as, whilst it does have a heaviness and urgency, it still feels quite journey-like in a way. I don’t think … Continue reading
