My favorite version of this theme <3 was so happy when I found it on yt

yikes that instrumental solo is kinda bad

With every drumbeat/bells ringing, the melody gets stronger as the memories come back

By this point, the song is abut to reach it peak by the time NieR is remembered. Masterfull fussion of narrative, ambience, action and melody

Opposed to the Final Battle of route A-B, this song starts with the music box arrangement as this is about recalling something you have lost

If they play this at my funeral, I'm coming back to life

the bells... the GOD DAMN BELLS.... THEY'RE STILL LAUGHING
