"Tell me, have you been to the ruins beneath the waters of the Bounty? Or the treasure islands beyond the frozen waters of Blindfrost, in Othard's north? The fabled golden cities of the New World? The sacred sites of the forgotten people of the south sea isles? What about Meracydia, the southern continent? Do you know aught of its present state of affairs? All of which is to say: expand your horizons. Go forth and seek discovery. Some of the civilizations in the reflections will surprise you."
There has to be some form of formula musicians use that trigger this "nostalgic, emotional, happy yet sad" feeling. SE especially is really good at making these tracks, but I think the Amaurot motif is one of the best motifs Soken has came up with. You can literally pair this track with ANY kind of story and it'll still give you the feels. That piano bit at 3:23 ALWAYS gets me.
When I heard this and the song it was based on. A place appeared in my head and in my heart. Beautiful as the eye could see and tragic as a memory best forgotten; but now forever a part of me. Its there now and it just feels right.
I've fallen asleep to this already, I know it's a reused song but it's so relaxing and I love that they included it on the moon as well
Does this have an orchestrion roll? The Amaurotine motif is my fav
