Im glad there are instrumental versions too! Everyone's vocal performances are phenomenal, but somehow the presence of real voices feels contrary to the general feel of the series. I have a feeling I will be listening to both versions over and over

[@chuck_salamone]

Absolutely why I wanted to include instrumentals. The story is conveyed just as well here as it is on the A side.

​@@chuck_salamone Its awesome to hear that you guys have kept that in mind, the surreal indirect storytelling of the hylics series is unmatched by all else and I hope that surrealism keeps existing in the series!

[@M00glemuffins]

I for one am glad there are instrumentals for all these because that means I can bust them out at karaoke night!

[@chuck_salamone]

Hell yeah!

[@grianjuju9438]

God, this music is just so inspiring

[@Mike14264]

Man, all the songs, all the performances, they were so beautiful and impactful. And they all conveyed their message very well too, I'd say.

[@summerthyme3008]

Utterly amazing how the instrumentals themselves hold their own without their vocals. normally instrumentals feel empty without the lyrics accompanying them, but this? it fits right in with hylics. and it sounds so wonderful, too. so appropriately hopeful for the end yet somber over what wayne has to leave behind. if i ever, EVER hear a leitmotif from one of these song cycles in hylics 3 i will actually liquify

[@chuck_salamone]

Mwa ha ha.

[@summerthyme3008]

@@chuck_salamone hooooo boy. that's a sign to prepare for self-liquidation

[@SpookeaBea]

I could totally see the beginning being a title drop sequence for Hylics 3 lol

[@wewyq]

OMYGSH ITS LOVELY!!

[@TheQwampa]

I like the odd time signatures in this one. 7/4 is great.

[@crappypapi]
