thaw | kohta yamamoto | [slowed + reverb]

i had written a poem a while back, i associate it with this piece now: peratzatha.wor...
I imagine that this is the musical equivalent to sneaking out of your room, and running out to lie down on a field of tall grass and gaze at the clear, twinkling sky above.
Bathed in moonlight and washed by the cool winds, imagining worlds that may, or may not exist within.
You stay in this quaint limbo.
Quietly sitting in this contemplation of lifetimes, wondering if you ever existed in a different skin, staring under the same sky. and that, if it were true, would it entail that you once (or twice or more) did the same action as now? Were you alone or not? did you think the same thoughts? did the you from all those parallels ever gained this insight (if this is one) and wondered about the many ‘yous’ state of affairs at this point the same way you are doing now? did you ever miss…you?
Introspection of 'ifs'.
the ending of this piece feels like the starry winds are caressing me, openly staring up, dreaming against the endless midnight vista, in sheer wonder.
that is what this piece feels like to me.

eren and zeke entered Grishas memories and were watching eren arguing with his mom at the dining with Grisha and mikasa there too. Peaceful times. Been looking for this song ever since.

Carla, words can’t hold back human curiosity. Eren… when I get back I’ll show you the basement I’ve kept secret all this time.

AOT will come to an end in a year . AND I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW MUCH MY LIFE HAS BEEN POSITIVELY IMPACTED BY AOT .

[@julianconnolly4471]

Thumbnail was one of my favorite moments in Attack on Titan. From Grisha’s voice actor doing an amazing job to the music playing, and the great story. There won’t ever be anything like Attack on Titan again. Thanks for the wonderful slowed and reverb version of this music piece! Love all your work vcas

It is one of the most fantasy-esque tracks from this series. It really is a piece of both an inquisitive and perhaps hopeful nature. It makes me think of all that is left uncovered, and unknown in this world.

[@e443productions9]

This is by far my favorite piece from Season 4 so far despite some absolute bangers! (not counting remakes and replays of old tracks). It's just so powerful. I feel like it truly embodies the sense of duty, choosing goodness over what feels easy and safe. Most importantly this song gives an air of hope for me in the same way that tracks like counter-attack mankind does, but a poignant and more melancholic way rather than triumphal. The scene where it plays is also extremely powerful and was also probably the tone setter to my favorite episode of part 2. The feelzzzz! Also yeah totally a Jean stan and him seeing Marco among the ghosts, reminding him of what he's fighting for and who he's fighting to be, hits close and honestly almost makes me cry tbh.

i wish there were more sad/chilling osts like GUILTY HERO in this album , but sad ly there wernt ,i hope we get some for the final part , and another version of TKT

[@comicx4045]

There are 3 version of t-kt , that's enough

[@molikoli9802]

I would say "All of the Freedoms" is rather sad. I liked it.

[@ilovekelloggs1984]

Thank you again, another of my favorites

I think this was my favorite song (at least non lyrical) out of the new OST release, love your take on it

[@L.W.74]

Your name is a standard of quality at this point- and not like a typical thing, but because everytime it really comes from the heart. Especially here, with this description- amazing.

[@L.W.74]

Also the poem was terrific

[@vcasxsnk]

I don’t deserve such huge praise 😭 thank you so much for listening and reading my work, it truly made my day 🥹

[@Visibletoallusers12]

All zeke ever wanted was a family. He was so happy when he thought he and eren were the same. And as have seen, he has always longed for a father figure. Even when he found out about his parents being restorationists, he pledded with them to stop so they can be safe. Zeke is not bred for war, all he ever wanted was a family, and a world where people wouldn't have to suffer based on their heritage. Zeke, like the rest of us, is just an ordinary man with dreams and wants, thrown into a world of hate and despair and death, with the idea that the only way to stop the suffering, is to commit unspeakable acts. His commitment to save his people from suffering also shows how much he cares, zeke blew himself up without knowing of guaranteed survival. Similar to eren, zeke is one of the most driven characters in the show. Unfortunately his caring nature mixed with his ideals have made him rotton. And therefore he has become blinded by his goals, stopping him from seeing the carnage he has brought upon so many. In his eyes, he is saving them, but if you take away his ideals then we are left with an overwhelmingly guilt-ridden zeke.

I just accidentally bumped this on my liked playlist listen. And after listen once I sat down and kept loop on and idk how long but this song is fucking beautiful and this remix is also beautiful. I remember back when season 1 came out and there were many people critizing Kohta Yamamoto because he would fill in the shoes of hiroyuki sawano and elitist didn't like it but I can say now PERSONALLY in attack on titan I liked kohta Yamamoto's tracks than hiroyuki sawano's track. There is no reason to this just a beautiful song fills your heart in different ways you can't explain it. THAW, All of the freedoms, TRAITOR, Splinter of the wolf, Other side of the sea, and yes Ashes of the fire are really my favorites. Thank you for making this edit.

[@vcasxsnk]

This means a lot, thank you 🥹🥹

[@eternalpain7762]

It's such a nostalgic song. I can't not associate it with its first appearance in Episode 4 and the imagery of Grisha and his family's last days of happiness. But with its name being what it is, I wonder if Yamamoto composed it with Annie in mind. I'm struggling to see how it would fit with her though, so I definitely think using it for the memories instead was a great decision on the sound designer's part.

[@AkdStyle]

The beginning with the piano and the tone is so beautiful feels like something you can listen after aot ends

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFULLY DEPRESSING

No, that’s part of the song itself- I don’t mess with the original stuff of the track.
