You all know the Super Mario Bros. theme song, right? I think it's a little bit insane how that simple melody created over tweny years ago has become synonymous with the series as a whole. I think what makes it more special is that, at the time, no one know how popular it would become. Those early game themes have now become main motifs throughout the series, and hundreds of songs are now part of that universe's playlist.
But I'm not here to talk about the blip-y eight-bit music tracks of the 80's. I'm talking about a recent series that came into existence ten years ago.
I'm talking about Kingdom Hearts, a Disney-Final Fantasy crossover. This simple, gentle tune plays at each and every title screen in the series. Despite the fact that this is very much a hack-n-slash type game, they chose this piece as the title screen. Occasionally, particularly during the most heartwarming/tearjearking cutscenes in the game, you'll hear snatches of this melody. What does it mean?
I think that's what this song is trying to say is that, no matter how dark, how grim, how awful things can get, there will be peace in the end. That the happy ending will come, but you may have to wait for it. It doens't matter that you say good-bye, you'll eventually come to a hello once more. That through all things, friends will still be there.
Hey! When are we gonna see those doodles you keep aluding to?!
Who are you? What are you doing on my blog?
I'm the impatient person on the other end wanting to see these "doodles" you keep referring to!
Hey, it's coming! Sheesh.
Don't you sheesh me! Now hurry up with those doodles!
Okay, okay! The doodles are coming on Wednesday! Also, I have a question for you, readers! What do you think "Dearly Beloved" is telling you? What are other musical pieces are telling (please be specific. Don't just say, "it makes me happy" Tell me what makes you happy and why!) you? C'mon! Let's have some reader/writer interaction! :D
