Shnabubula - V Starbound
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAVHSf9vh80

was once my favorite song of all time, and it does fit here. good final thing to nom.

for context of what this instrumental track is supposed to represent:

I was never public about the subject matter of the album.
It actually is meant to tell the story of a child, dying from a terminal illness, he goes into a coma, while in this coma, he journeys into his own unconscious where he end's up fighting a literal battle against his own inner demons in a grand arena in the middle of a giant neo-tokyo kind of cyber metropolis. Upon acheiving victory, he is able to awake from the coma, and say goodbye to his family, before finally succumbing.

At this point, his spirit leaves his body and travels across the entire span of the universe to the very source of all life and returns to rejoin this source and reach the next plane of existence.

I thought it would be fun to do a series with this concept on movies or video games or something.

I seem to remember topics years ago, one where it was like "favorite character with ____ attribute" (I remember the first one was bald and I think it went to Agent 47) and one that was "favorite movie in _______ subgenre" (like zombie movie, etc) and I enjoyed both of those, so I could see bringing back something similar at some point

---

Yeah I recall those vaguely too.

Fall Out Boy - Thanks For the Memories

Not exactly appropriate.
But, I just feel like the song title is worthy of the last topic.
It's been a fun ride. Cheers, Johnbob.
