Right-o, so I'm going to be doing another analysis and that will be for the songs in Spring Waltz's FST [fan-made soundtrack].
Just another way to see what goes on in this author's mind. And just a small news flash to those who enjoyed the FST, I've compiled another FST for Spring Waltz. But it's more like Spring Waltz EP [extended play] rather than a full blown out soundtrack.
This FST/EP [whatever you're going to call it] will be ready and effective as soon as the end of chapter 12 comes about. So you can look forward to that and more details about it later. Onto the song analysis~!
Chapter 1
So there were no special designated songs for Chapter 1, in fact I don't think I had the FST up and ready until chapter 2 -.-; I had translation troubles which is why there was a delay. But even though there wasn't a song specific to it, there is a song that could be played with it along with the rest of the chapters.
That song is You & I (Prelude) by Casker. Let me start off by saying I love Casker. This song was off of their new album Polyester Heart. I luffles it and when I heard this particular song I was just like...wow for a short song it seems so moving. I wanted to know the lyrics right away. I got right onto that and WOW! After reading the translated lyrics I was like 'zomg spazzes* it matches Spring Waltz!" Thus it became the theme song of the story.
I started to think this being the theme song it should play during the previews at the end of each chapter. The mood it creates is sorta like monotone-ish but in a good way. If played with during the preview you can't really tell if the quotes are in a good way or bad way. The mood it creates is intriguingly mysterious.
Also, I have to say I love lyrics and the repetition in the song and it fits in with the repetition of Spring Waltz. As to what that means, well we'll just have to wait.
Chapter 2
Wedding Bell by DEPAPEPE is stated to play during the wedding ceremony. I think this song has a rather calming, serene effect on the ears. Which is good because it's like a song before the storm ahha xD But it just seems so peaceful and the title of wedding in it just makes it click. Listening to it while writing that scene really helped me envision in a way that I could get it typed.
Sleeping Beauty Waltz by Tchaikovsky I think was a good choice for the first dance of Kairi and Sora's wedding. First off it's a waltz, so it fulfill Kairi's wish and ties in with the title even if it's just in the smallest of ways. And it's from a Disney film and what is Kingdom Hearts? A crossover of Final Fantasy and DISNEY! So I think it's rather fitting. Plus I could just so imagine everyone dancing to this sorta like the ending scene in Sleeping Beauty itself.
Chapter 3
Once In Awhile by Sondre Lerche is a rather laid-back song with vocals. I could so imagine myself sitting in the cafe that Namine works at and sipping a latte while having this play in the background. Plus I love love LOVE Sondre Lerche. I mean he's not up there with Jesse McCartney but...right off topic xD But the way it starts off with a couple of drum beats I think it's a good kick off to the song just like how it's a good way to imagine Namine entering the cafe as soon as the song starts playing. It's more of the mood and ambience the song creates rather than lyrics this time around.
Chapter 4
How I Could Just Kill A Man by Charlotte Sometimes came about to be in the soundtrack as I was watching tv while eating breakfast while brainstorming the general idea of the fanfic. Of course at the beginning [and if the FST had been released on time] people would think the 'man' Namine wants to kill is Roxas but it kinda switches it up and has her wanting to kill Ven haha.
So this is plays in the background of the very first cake emergency. It's a fitting song both in melody that creates a mood and the lyrics. Lyrics because well during the cake emergency Namine talks about her situation with the brothers. Although I think at one point the song should be how I could just kill the girls since they were so quick to make assumptions with Namine and Roxas xD
If you notice if the FST I'm rather partial to Yiruma. Let's face it, I love the piano and Yiruma is a pure master! So the first song featured from him is Dream A Little Dream Of Me. It has a bit of laid-back sound to but a bit playful tune as well. The playful part sort of fits with the dream since it depicts her being nervous but he's rather open to showing her off as his girlfriend. Plus the title really helps it too. It is a dream and it creates a dream-like mood. However when Namine wakes up she begs to differ xD
Well that's it for today! Hope you enjoyed!
