I absolutely love this track from Koudelka, a hybrid tactical RPG/survival horror game that's actually the precursor to the Shadow Hearts series. Waterfall is a battle theme, one of four featured in the game, and it starts out exuding a calming, concentrated atmosphere, that's upbeat but at the same time feels reserved and cautious. I like how at 3 minutes though it switches tones, becoming a lot more frantic and panicked, as the battle becomes more intense. Yet, it winds down back to a familiar groove, giving off hope yet again. I love the percussion in the track which is kind of tense, whilst it's offset by the strings and wind instruments giving an open-aired feeling of freedom, like being, as the title implies, by a waterfall.

Anyway, it's a cool, underappreciated track that's relaxing to listen to whilst also being an appropriate battle theme for the atmosphere Koudelka portrays.
