Be prepared to be blown away by today's song choice. If you've noticed, today's genre is video game, but don't let that deceive you. This instrumental piece may be from a Play Station game, but it is quite the masterpiece. The first few notes start the song with a gentle, magical tone. Yet in a matter of seconds, the orchestra sound grows and it becomes a complex epic melody. Whether you relate this song to the game or not, it is still an inspiring piece that brings emotions of joy and hope, with a tinge of melancholy.
As I've mentioned before (in my first post), I feel very strongly about the significance of instrumental and classical music. People underestimate the power of instruments. An orchestra can easily evoke any emotion in the emotional spectrum simply with a change of key, tone, rhythm, note, or instrument. This track from the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack is one of the many examples of how instrumental music can be so moving. In fact, almost the entire soundtrack has that same quality. I highly recommend you give it a chance.
The composition of this song was a result of two talented people: Kaoru Wada (who arranged it) and Hikaru Utada. Hikaru Utada created the original song from which this track got its theme from. The original song is called "Hikari" and contains lyrics in Japanese. Another version that was created is a remix with English lyrics called "Simple and Clean". I recommend listening to those two versions as well. They may not be as beautiful from an artistic perspective, but they are still very catchy and fun from a musical perspective.
I know this is a music blog, but I'd like to also add my thoughts about the video game Kingdom Hearts. I have several family members and friends who are big fans of the franchise. I myself am also a fan. And while I am not the best at playing video games, I really enjoy playing this one and following the storyline of the series. It has a lot more depth to it than you would think and contains many beautiful, philosophical thoughts and quotes. My favorite quote is the one I chose to include in the image for today. If you're a Disney fan, this is also a great game because you get to interact with all your favorite characters and visit the places of all your favorite movies. If you own a game console (or are willing to purchase one), I think you should consider giving Kindom Hearts a try. It's a wonderful experience for the whole family. And so you know, I am not saying this just to try and convince you to buy it. I genuinely do love this game and wish to keep supporting it because I really want Disney to keep the series going.
I hope you enjoy hearing this surprisingly beautiful video game instrumental piece. May the melody motivate you today in work, school, or anywhere you listen to it. Have a wonderful day!
