#and the new songs are so good too

I think it is an injustice that I can't look up the Rebirth soundtrack until I finish the game because it could bring me into contact with spoilers. What do you MEAN I have to wait until I'm done to hear these songs again! This self-imposed restriction is an affront to me personally!!

Fully believe that Crowleys love for Aziraphale was so strong that it managed to transcend universes and summon Hozier, Mitski, and Laufey, just to create the saddest Aziracrow songs known to man

[<==PREV PAGES] [NEXT PAGE==>(not out yet.wait a year.or maybe more.imagine.]

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

Since I posted some of my old fanart yesterday... if you're not familiar with Slayers, and thus have never heard its amazing music, do check it out. It's largely by the same songwriter, Masami Okui, that did Utena's iconic opening (Rinbu Revolution) and ofc (TRUTH) and sung by a duo of her and Hayashibara Megumi (you know, the GOAT)

The entire OST pretty much slaps. there's only a couple of bad image songs in an absolute expanse of pure gold. GIVE A REASON, the opening to the second season, tends to be the reigning favorite. (I've a hard time pinning down my absolute favorite... of the original openings, it might be Breeze, but all three are so good. Of the entire catalog? Impossible to choose. Midnight Blue, Raging Waves, Within my Unlimited Desires, Gloria, Get Along... Impossible Choice)

Oh my god it's The Alchemy day I have SO many thoughts about this song so I'm gonna try and condense them.

First of all, the song starts and ends with "This happens once every few lifetimes," which is a statement filled to the BRIM with irony, in my view. The entire album up to this point has been concerned with two romances, both of which Taylor states she felt were destined and fated and "storybook" in their own ways. The entirety of TTPD is exploring how these fated, destined, storybook romances could actually crumble, and with it, her faith and belief in the existence of fate and destiny and storybook love.

But THEN... almost at the end of the standard run of the album, Taylor states that she's getting back from recovering from this tragedy - "I'm back / The hospital was a drag / Worst sleep that I ever had". She gets back from the messy process of healing from the events described on the album, and despite everything finds herself falling in love again.

This is why the title is significant, too. Alchemy is the pseudoscience of making a material into something more valuable. And this reflects the emotional process of Taylor falling in love again - she felt like the past two tragedies took the shine off of everything, killed her belief that love could ever work. But then, despite everything, she falls in love again and the normal, even tragic world she lived in before is transformed into something golden.

And then the first line repeats again, to reflect the cyclical nature of what she has experienced. Obviously, "this" doesn't happen once every few lifetimes, it's happened twice before on the album and is happening again in this song. She's falling in love, she's finding something beautiful and fated, and she can't help but find it gorgeous and meaningful, even if she's been shown again and again that she might be proven wrong in the end. And it feels so special that even if it's obvious that it isn't a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it feels that rare and that precious.

In this song, love is the alchemy, the process of turning normalcy into meaning and beauty, and she can't help it.

**P3R spoilers**

Full Moon Full Life is Life and Death singing together in harmony (with Death being intrigued by the beauty of life and encouraging life to give it their all while life is determined to pull through without falter)

Color Your Night is about a moon that fell in love with a special someone and their beloved reciprocating their affection back with a kind heart

I really can't unhear this and apparently the songwriter really did say something like that along the lines(in the persona magazine there was a mention that the latter show the warmth and kindness of the moon and as for the prior, lotus juice seems to have said full moon full life has a more friendly approach towards death as compared to the original p3 in a commentary)

These songs align with ryoji and the mc's relationship and what ryoji's said about how connections are formed both ways. They have a bond and they appreciate each other. It's what their whole link was about, forging a relationship on the paths of life and accepting death as a friend. I was really looking forward to what they'd do with this character because I had a big hunch after having seen the opening sequence AND the song that went with it.. I take these as their song and it's not so wrong considering what they're supposed to symbolize, P3R's approach towards the inevitable end is much warmer and tender! I believe that's one of the main themes, if not the theme of the game. While it's unstoppable, it could also be part of what gives life more meaning and makes it more precious..

I think that's really beautiful and it's what I like seeing, it also helps when death is one of the most loving and sweetest character you get in this franchise, isn't that a pretty sight!!

When you listen to the songs with this in mind, you can see ryoji's love towards life and the protagonist's immense.. He cares for him so much-to be fair, he has always been that way-and this time the protagonist does care for him back and considers him dear. That was made more obvious not just in the songs but in reload too, mc treasures his friendship with ryoji!! I feel that's very wholesome.

Come back home when you have some sense

You can throw your life away just not at my expense

You’re not the son I raised
