    I mean... The BEEM BEEM BEEM BEEM BEEM BEEM BEEM BEEM BEEM BEEBEEM at 1:05 is so thoroughly moving to me for some reason. It sounds like a cathartic cry, like a montage of the people you love smiling, climbing a mountain, falling peacefully into a bed of flowers, horrible news, killing a dragon, death and an incredibly warm hug from someone you haven't seen in a while. All at once. Boy oh boy he just has the music juice in him this one!

    This song makes me sad in the strangest way. It really feels like remorse. Which, when it's first unveiled at the end of the fifth episode of the build up miniseries, is apt. It's a story of a people who have failed. They failed to save their world, and now their trapped. Every time I listen to this I feel like I've done something I can't take back. Like I've hurt someone.

    I find it so interesting that people say it makes them sad or wanna cry or in your case feel remorse. This song feels... Empowering to me, i think. It makes me wanna drive down the highway 100 mph at 3 AM just to feel alive. Or like waking up after being asleep for years and being full of energy to do the things I've been scared of doing. Something like that for me lol

    I can't agree more. This has elements of somberness, ala Inon Zur, it has the building enthusiasm and excitement of a Michael Giacchino score, the Go get em' of a Route theme from Pokémon-- It's outstanding and I always look forward to the gift that Griffin McElroy freely gives us with his music. His wit and charm are plenty but if he EVER made an album, I would buy all of them.

    @@The_Paper_Star_Wizard_Hat not wrong to ask at all, don't worry! It's very spherical, it starts small and gentle, mostly an orb of blue tones. When the songs chorus begins it bursts into a huge sphere of blue, purple, and green. When the dun dun dun sounds start at 1:06 there's distinct blooms of gold lights, the background is swirling and faintly iridescent. Nearing the end it all slowly fades into a deep blue with blinking, multicolored lights that are synced to the notes playing in the background. I hope some of that makes sense lol
