Splatoon 3 - Alterna - Whirlpool Tune
There's something so,, sad and wonderful and tragic about this track. Even without context, it evokes such melancholy and whimsy and pain and hope, its just so much to me. I can not listen to this track without crying. It's so. Beautiful... in a way..
The context makes it so much more impactful; it's the music that signals the beginning of the end of humanity. I struggle to fully articulate just how this one track makes me feel. But I will say, I'm not one so easily moved by media, especially when they try to emo-bait me (looking at you, stev*n un*verse/und*rtale. your attempts at evocation are apparent and feeble!)
Shoutout to the composers, they knew exactly what they were doing!
This is a funeral song, but in a cathartic way.
