It's so late in the night, my mind is drif-ting away
Then I dream about times I wished for a new happier day
If a hand could reach out right now, and save my life somehow
I'll face the sun again
As soon as this dreary night ends

I don't know why, but I feel like I need to be swept up into some choreographed dance while this is playing. Arm movements, sweeping camera shots... a less energetic "Herald of Darkness" finale. It's peaceful, pulsing, pretty. I've put this on a few times to fall asleep to, and it's been pleasant. It's wanting. An escape. It helps pull myself out of a depression or shame spiral. It's Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle" of helpful encouragement. There's some dysmorphic thoughts that pairs to this, too, that I'll just leave noted and nothing more. Lovely and wonderful and graceful and mmm I forget about those tinkling piano keys and the bit where her voice is all fuzzy before bouncing into the forefront and I love that simple but effective maneuver.

The only thing I'm sad about is that it's not top three.

Average Score: 63
Total Score: 315

Dreamlike. From behind the clouds of Carly Rae to LilyPichu's dreamy night and all the lights throughout the valley, there is a soaring skyborne quality to a lot of the songs. Easy to get swept away by, whether it be in Final Fantasy nostalgia or existential dread. "dreamy night" capstones it all with a beautiful message of hope and introspection. So much love, so many thanks. I will listen to that one often for as long as we have left (only four more left to go... there it is again, that funny feeling).
