7 P.M. - Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Extended music

[@Forest_Plum]

I can still hear the in game ACNL sounds as I listen to this. The light footsteps of my avatar, the trickling of the river close by, the swing of my net... So nostalgic, this is easily the best hourly track of ACNL imo

[@Tyway]

That soft crunching of grass under your feet. Pure asmr. Waves rolling on the shore. Cicadas screaming at you. Maybe you follow a balloon or two. Wishing this could be forever.

[@leafdrift6686]

Really hope this playlist doesn't get taken down. I'm sick of Nintendo not giving options to listen to their music.

[@mindfulatheist]

its very ironic they do this, considering how many people use their music for videos.

[@KittyCatKayden]

There's already an option: Listen to their music inside their games!

[@TomatoRadio]

​@@KittyCatKaydenplease tell me you're being sarcastic

[@KittyCatKayden]

@@TomatoRadio I'm not. I have the game and it has music

[@TomatoRadio]

@@KittyCatKayden 1. People want to be able to listen to their music while doing other things, and having those songs released on platforms like KZbin, Spotify, SoundCloud, etc. can allow that. Releasing game OSTs on music platforms is a common practice for almost every other game publisher. 2. Some songs can't be heard on their own as they are in boss fights with loads of sounds, cutscenes with dialogue, or just ambience in general.

How does a piece of music make you feel everything

[@Jay-uo5of]

One day I picked up my 3DS. I booted it up to play with my friends in college to destress from finals. I didn’t know it be the last time I’d ever play with anyone online on my new leaf world. It was 2019. I still have SS of various friends and I sitting on THE bench in Main Street. One day you blink and you’re in your twenties, your siblings are grown up, you have a small handful of friends you’re still close with and life keeps moving on. You can’t cling onto the past, but boy can a smell or the note of a piano key send you flying back to those moments. Growing isn’t difficult persay, it’s just bittersweet. You sometimes can have a feeling when something is the last time, other times you truly don’t realize it until years later.

[@Odd-Bike]

I love this song. It’s so chill, like on a nice windy night while it’s a bit warm. The moon is bright, and you’re there sitting on the ground with a friend, looking at the fresh night sky. I don’t know how this is cursed at all. I love it, and it needs to come back.

[@foibos._.]

forever grateful to this game for basically saving my life. even when navigating a shitty childhood, knowing I had a safe place to go to everytime I turned my 3DS on gave me the strength to go on 💕

[@emrickazor2610]

The "cursed" song as everyone seems to call it. I don't really get it. This track feels like 7pm to me. Everything is winding down and you're still just moving along preparing for the night to start closing.

[@catsdogswoof3968]

Its q weird animal crossing song. The cuesed songs qre further down dont worry

[@prod.kanade]

The "cursed" one is more 4 AM for everyone i think. But its maybe because 8PM as a warm touch to it besides 7PM being pretty sad/rushy/melancolic (for me) But its one of my fav :D Have a good day

[@morenaforza1027]

"cursed"?? It's so relaxing and soothing...

[@FZone96]

It was 7pm when I wrapped up the Tutorial for New Leaf, and when I heard this song for the first time I was impressed how different the music sounds from Wild World/City Folk.

[@NymphaeumVA]

This sounds like my mom calling in the evening to know what time I’ll be coming home. It’s getting dark out and she wants to know I’ll get home safe.

[@Kimtendo_]

It's been about 10 years... Feels like it was just yesterday. Graduation, friends, laughters. This song always did make me feel this surreal feeling, existential. Now here we are.

[@Clement-uy4ie]

Ça fait plaisir de voir des personnes qui aiment toujours acnl, ce jeux est incroyable, j'ai recommencé à y jouer pour la nostalgie, leurs musiques, l'attachement que je m'avais fait avec les personnages du jeux, ma maison, méli mélo, rounard, Astrid et j'en passe les nuits que je passe à juste me balader dans mon monde avec le chant des criquets, les papillons qui volent à côté de moi, le bruit apaisante de la rivière

[@Shadows5815]

same here. i first got acnl almost 11 years ago in September this year. i cant count how many memories ive had with playing it with or around my friends growing up, and making my town the best that it could be. now i went from being into elementary school, to being completely done with school. it doesn’t feel real to be this old already.

[@IMortalNemesisI]

By far the most memorable song for me.

[@KnuxKrafty]

Animal crossing has the most beautiful music I've ever listened to acnl will never get old

[@baloneus]

This song is more personal to me than my voice. Growing up and even now, new leaf has always felt like a second home. This made me tear up at a song for the first time in years. Thank you so much for all the memories over the years new leaf

[@Blue_Razor_]

I feel like explaining this song, or at least in my mind, what I think it means as the representative of 7 p.m. To start, I must explain 5 p.m., which requires an explanation for 6 p.m. first. (Go listen to 6 p.m., then 5 p.m., and come back). 6 p.m. feels like the transition between afternoon and evening. A calm reminder that, eventually, this day is coming to a close. Not alarming yet, you still have a whole hour, but once you get lost in the song, it's time for evening to start. Now comes 5 p.m., and this song feels like a distant reminder that it's about time to start transitioning between times of day; but you still have an entire hour before you even start feeling the difference. Last, but *definitely* not least, is 7 p.m. At last, we've made it. The point of reading this far, the man of the hour, the hour itself. To me, this hour is starting a conversation, somebody younger might think it's a conversation about tomorrow, or going to bed, maybe throw in a little imagination in the mix. But, to someone older, it's saying “Hey, how's life?” “How are you?” and maybe, “Why haven't we talked more?” This speaks to me in a way that it really shouldn't. Why is something so simple, yet so complex as a song, starting a life-altering conversation? To be honest; I don't know. It could be the nostalgia of growing up listening to this song over and over hunting beetles on my own little island, serving as a reminder that I get to listen to it sing its tune. Or, it could be the gentle reminder that it's evening, everything is calm, quiet, and maybe, just maybe; everything is alright.

[@Alnned60]

You got deep with this! I only had this game for a couple years now and I heard this song. I felt so many different emotions emitting from the memory. Should I laugh, look back, or cry about the day ending after having a fun time?

[@Alnned60]

I meant “melody” not “memory” XD

[@Blue_Razor_]

@@Alnned60 same difference honestly, the melody is a memory, the memory, a melody

[@Joshoposho]

Bro that craps deeper than the ocean. But I know where you’re coming from. To be honest, I never thought of it like that until today, and well how you described just fits perfectly, and yeah, maybe part of that is nostalgia for those of us that grew up hearing this, but then there’s that calm, peaceful vibe that adds to the nostalgia, kind of like you’re catching up with an old friend at, well fittingly 7 pm

[@Blue_Razor_]

@@Joshoposho Right on broski, while writing that absolute paragraph it didn't feel deep, but looking at how long it is... oops. Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's a love for the song, either way, 10/10, would and have listened again.

[@axesaavedra7920]

This song brings me back a lot of memories Six years ago I used to play with my best friend for long periods of time We had fun, we enjoy the game and this melody especially, because 7pm was our usual time to meet up and play We haven't talked in months, i hope he is doing okay wherever he is

[@drudeger]

when i first heard this song in one of those "chill nintendo music" playlists, i thought for sure it was some special chapter track from fire emblem awakening (i think the special chapters were called the "summer scramble" or something like that?). the melodica (i think that's the instrument anyway) makes it feel that way especially because of the melody it plays, and the steel drum part is why it made me think of those special summer chapters.

Reminiscent of a time long past, this song was my favorite back then and still forever will be out of all the games. First hearing it on Roblox and then it being the first hourly theme I heard that day in January 2017, it always holds a place in my heart. As time passes and as I eventually turn 20 in two weeks when I thought I was so big when I regularly played this game, I thought I understood the intricacies of the world as I heard this theme. How time is fleeting, how to not run from things and just relax, yet I didn’t have the words in my 12 year old brain to describe it like I can now. Though, that’s still a lesson I have to learn, after coming out as trans after running from my feelings for years. As much as I don’t play this game anymore due to the multiplayer feature being gone and honestly, I’m a grown college student who has no time anymore, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@sockatoo_]

funny thing is i've never even played this game. i think animal crossing music is just amazing and perfect no matter what. comparing this to new horizons is like comparing steel to gold though. nee horizons music is groovy and nice and i love it, but this???? oh my god THIS.
