Blue Reflection: Second Light - World's End
Sonic Runners - End of the Summer

MATCH 2(?)

Suite Photoconductivity unfortunately sandwiches the part I do like in between less good parts. Third Tune is pretty cool and is really the main part of the song that I enjoy. It's much more appealing to me melodically than the other parts, which don't stand out much to me. Though as a whole, I will say that it has the benefit of not doing anything that I actively dislike, unlike some other Darius songs that have been in the contest before. Well, Fifth Tune starts to approach that territory, but it's not too bad.

World's End is sadly underwhelming for a Blue Reflection song. The piano is nice, but I feel like it doesn't really do anything all that interesting to me. Plus those static-y interruptions towards the beginning of the song are a bit annoying. Though I like the callback to the motif used in the first Blue Reflection songs at 2:32. Still, I like World's End more than Suite Photoconductivity as a whole. It would be a lot closer, though, if it was up against only Third Tune.

MATCH 3

The Grand Finale is decent, but I've always felt like this song was kind of middle-of-the-road.

End of the Summer is so good! Another really great discovery this year from the contest. Honestly, I'd go as far as to say that this is now my favorite Sonic song. I love all the bright and happy emotions this song carries. Especially 1:25-1:59! Love that guitar melody and how the minor chord at 1:29/1:30 colors some of the emotion in that part. I really like that this is the last song in the bracket because it feels like a song to send off a fun adventure.
