So here we go with another song analysis! This is for the next 4 chapters. And the last set of song analysis won't be up until chapters 9-12 get written. 3 more to go!
But for now let's concentrate on these songs~
Chapter 5
This chapter dealt with Namine and Roxas's date. She's nervous of course but I wanted the date to have a playful but laidback atmostphere. Then I stumbled upon the song Red Night by Blue Knights. It just matched the idea of walking around the Radiant Garden area as a couple too perfectly. If it was a movie I could so see this song being used!
Chapter 6
Falling by Yiruma [yay Yiruma haha!] was used in Namine's dreams. Falling, as the title implies kinda does give you a sense as if you're falling or that things are going away from you. At least that's the feeling that I get every time I listen to it. Up to now all of Namine's flashbacks were of good things. But with chapter 6 the mood on these dreams/flashbacks take on a different tone. A more sad one. Falling, being an instrumental, doesn't take away from the dream but helps create the right mood for both ones as they aren't exactly happy happy.
Chapter 7
I pretty much love We The Kings and I wanted to include a song from them. So, I chose All Again For You. Most of stories mood music is due to instrumentals or are usually foreign songs. So I wondered how to incorporate this one.
I got the idea to have it play during the second cake emergency. It has a nice tune to it so it made a good background song. Plus the lyrics seem like they have nothing to do with Namine's current position but it's on here because the lyrics, more so the chorus, fit in with the story as a whole.
Chapter 8
Reminiscence Keep Us Together by Yiruma is used first for another flashback. Really, I found it another calming instrumental by him...actually they are pretty much all like that xD but I found the flashback and the song to be rather cohesive with one another. Plus the title is a nice one too. Saying how memories can keep a person together with another.
The second song used in this chapter was Stuttering by Ben's Brother. They danced to the beginning of this song and while it played they talked. As they were talking Namine says something that was meant to be kept in her head. As a result? She ends up STUTTERING in her efforts to make up for it. The song just matched with the scene all too well. Roxas shuts her up by kissing her. Too cute! Although I'm sure it would've a been a more romantic scene if what happened after didn't occur. Well the cute song makes up for it?
Alright that's all the time we have today~ Sorry that the next song analysis won't be up for awhile. Bear with me people! I can only type so fast!
