It is so hard to describe to people the feeling of finding yourself in the kingdom of Zeal on your first playthrough of Chrono Trigger. You investigate a shining thing in a bleak, frozen wasteland, after winessing some crazy stuff that leaves you wondering how and if the world survived, and next thing you know, you're standing in an Atlantean paradise in the clouds with endless waterfalls just plummeting to nowhere, and Corridors of Time is booming...

Quelle performance grandiose et magnifique ! Les percussions et le piano ont véritablement volé la vedette, évoquant à merveille le paysage glacé. Cette chanson, si déchirante, décrit avec une profondeur incroyable le désir et la mélancolie. Bravo à tous les musiciens pour ce moment inoubliable !

When Knuckles played the transverse flute, i felt that.

When I've played Chrono Trigger for the first time, in 1996, I thought it was impossible to travel back in time. I always come back to this video to prove that I was always wrong.

Corridors of Time should be the national anthem of any lost civilization we ever find.

Smh impact and influence unmatched in the world of animation and creation...Rest on Akira Toriyama, without your inspiration songs,ganes,shows wouldn't even be here.😢🕊️

Shala's Theme is probably my favorite song in the game. It's beautiful but carries a hint of melancholy. I must ration myself when listening because it often sends me deep into a pit of sadness. When I hear that song, I see flashes of my childhood. Fond recollections of events and, most of all, of loved ones. People so precious to me, gone from this world and reduced to only memories. The greatest music draws forth emotions from the listener without uttering a single word.

It is nearly an otherworldly beautiful, much like the kingdom of zeal, it tells of a time of unimaginable peace and prosperity... with melancholy deeper than lavos ever burrowed as it also tells you of an era that will never come back, a time you cannot return to... you can relieve that time in your memories while listening to this song, but that place in your memories can never return, you can never get that time back, you can never return to that time. To me that is what drives the song... there are so many great covers of it, it helps me grieve and serves as an outlet for the sorrows I've experienced. The good arrangements, remixes, reimaginations ect. they always always make me cry.

The moment is burned forever into my mind. I was just a kid, and after barely scraping by against the Black Tyranno on my who knows what numbered try, I see a cutscene, learn the origin of lavos, and go into the crater that once was the Reptite's castle. Through a portal and then... only desolate cold and empty land. Nothing. Then I find some strange building... I step inside... and I am struck by beauty.
