Class of '09 Menu and Opening OST (Piano Cover)

An arrangement of the calm menu music and the upbeat version that plays in the opening of the game. This edgy VN satisfies the dark humor guilty pleasure while also being surprisingly well-written and well-voiced (even more so for the second game).

    Love this theme because it captures the wistful nature of the time. I was in high school in the late 2000s and while some of the events/dialogue in the game are over the top for comedic effect, the attitudes are relatable and sadly some of them not too far from what actually happened. Makes you think about how things could have been different - maybe not better but didn't have to be that way. Edit: Thanks for the heart and absolute hats off to your performance! Listening to the original, this cover has so much more soul poured into it. Hard to believe 2009 was 15 years ago. The menu theme hits my feelings on the time, "Stability" when thinking about how I was as a teen, and "Moving" with it's rising uplifting start highlighting how far I've come from then...rounding off with its bittersweet notes. Things are better now but still can't help feeling like it could have been different.

    it's a great contrast. it has a melancholy to it that feels more aligned with the few more strictly serious moments in the game, and obviously the phone messages part where the theme plays and you get more context that adds to the scenes, some of it straight up devestating.

    This may be me reading too deep but this theme really puts me into the head space of Nicole It's mostly cold and distant, but with some echoes of emotions that use to be there. Sadness, happiness, amusement maybe, but all of them are crushed by the unyielding apathy she caries. This song makes me think of someone who used to feel, but doesn't anymore, and only has memories of those feelings left to cling to

    After digging alot and spending ALOT of time researching into the lore of the game in general and development, I think its linked to this song, "City Slicker" by Feather. For some reason, there is a considerably HUGE overlap between the brony fandom and the class of 09 fandom for some reason. At the moment, a person by the name of "Aaron Monroe" lays claim to the song.
