[@shikikawagiri]

A fitting OST for Saileach. She's patriotic too, but the way she shows it is not in her fierceness in battlefield or in politics, but in her kindness and by helping her fellow citizens.

[@-thepatriot-9719]

And such wonderful lyrics aswell, thanks to Adam Gubman since he has worked on disney songs before.

[@shikikawagiri]

@@-thepatriot-9719 Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more, such wonderful lyrics indeed. One more reason why she's undoubtedly a Disney princess, even if the AK lore says otherwise XD

[@Vertutame]

I think it's written just for her so yes.

Lyrics to this wonderful song. Let's sing along! Where the spring mists settle as the valleys breathe, And the hillock's shadow light and calm. You're naught to feel unwanted though the world might abhor, Your home is in Victoria, Victoria... once more. When the night wind calls us to the tussling fields, Lost in battle, weary in your heart. I'll uphold her honor as we march to the shore. And I will see Victoria, Victoria, once more. My heart will sing Victoria, Victoria... once more. Her light, a harbor for faithless. She won't let you fall. When the darkness calls you, Anchor safe in her walls. Like a shield, she's Victoria. Her love for you is an army. Protected and served. When you're lost, unwanted, She's your hope, preserved. Like a sword, she's Victoria. Even if I wander yon' the hills towards Sargon She'll keep calling and her beacon lead like a warship steady through the storm. I am left unshaken, I'm safe in her arms. The solace of Victoria. Hopeful in Victoria. My heart will sing Victoria. March past the dusty moors, Shake off a thousand wars, Leaving, not left alone. Victoria is our home... You're naught to feel unwanted though the world might abhor. Your home is in Victoria... once more...

This song is perfect for Saileach. She is Patriotic but the way she shows it, its not through war or politics but in her kindness and by helping her fellow people. Those who are curious to the author for this song is, Adam Gubman. who has won a Grammy Award for his album and He has worked as a soundtrack producer for Blizzard, Ubisoft and Sony. He has also produced soundtracks and music for Disney Parks.

[@nyundayuuu5431]

I had nothing but respect to him, dude continue to brings banger music to the game. Especially Stay Gold (Blemi ost) damn the music is so good it fits her perfectly! as if the whole music describes all of her struggle in the tournament.

my absolute top 3 EP. it's such a bitter sweet song that reminds Jane of why she love Victoria but also reminds her of why she lose trust in the army

[@gho5trun3r68]

"Leaving not left alone" is what did it for me. It feels like a call going out for everyone to come home. No matter where Victoria's citizens are, they move as one to return home. No matter why you left, your home is still your home. The place that raised you, that fed you, that protected you. And now this song is seemingly asking for you to return home to protect it.

[@artemi7]

...You know, if Saileach didn't get an EN VA yet, could you guys please please please ask Hannah Crowley to do it? She's freaking knocking it OUT OF THE PARK on this, it's perfect!

This song convinced me to pull for Saileach. At first, I have done 10 pulls until guaranteed 5-6 star with the hope of getting at least getting Mulberry but, no, I did not get her either. Even though, I was interested in her personality, gameplay, and design, I already had planned to pull on so many future banners. But this song convinced me to buy 2 f2p packs for originuim and do 22 pulls. As a result, got numerous 5 stars, including Mulberry, and finally got her. I am so happy! Now, I see, this is the power of a single song.

Have to admit, I'm super glad I lucked into Saileach when her banner was going - and I do mean luck, as I never intended to go further than the 10-tries-guaranteed 5/6 star. Despite my initial disappointment at getting a flag-bearer, a sub-class I did not care for at the time, she was also my first (and so far only) 6-star vanguard so I had to give her a try, and now she's one of my favorite units. Plus it helps that I absolutely love her design and color scheme; blue, silver and gold go together so well.
