Quruli: Army

One listen. This is a song I’d describe as being highly emotive, and it is. I tried to get some of that out but I feel I was unwilling to go far enough. Quruli’s (くるり) “Army” is from The World is … Continue reading

Yasunori Mitsuda: Schala’s Theme

One listen. Thought I could write about the song well enough and didn’t. Just kind of summarised and didn’t do much digging in. It’s a fairly simple piece with a lot to grab onto and I didn’t grab onto it. … Continue reading

Margins: Transmission Blue

Two listens for this one as I wasn’t able to keep up and I think it paid off. I was able to get a fair bit more written and although what I wrote is a bit of a mess, I … Continue reading

Junya Nakano: This is Your Story

Four listens for this bit of writing and it didn’t work well. I struggled a bit with this one and I think it may have been thinking about how much I’ve covered songs from this particular soundtrack and this artist … Continue reading

Stara Rzeka: BHMTH (czyli historia z wujkiem Albertem)
