I really think it is a testament to the power of nostalgia, however short-lived, that I cried when I heard this yesterday. It warped me back five years ago, before two of my siblings were born, to a family holiday in France. I sat in the car phoning my Dad frantically telling him I had named a Pokemon in my team after him, all while this played breezily in the background. Exquisite. That one moment remains sealed in my memory. The mellow, wise tones of the piece create instant nostalgia for me, and I don't think anything will ever change that. I hope to one day as an old man find my dusty old DS and a dusty old cartridge, play it for the first time in years and be sent right back to the glory of my childhood. Wonderful.

Another really beautiful, nostalgic piece for me. This reminds me of my grandparents' house. After eight months of hard training, two holidays overseas and the birth of my sister, I finally got here. At my grandparents' house, I sat in bed one morning having finally come out of Victory Road. I scaled the waterfall and then...this. Such contemplative music. It made me think about everything I'd been through on that journey, the stuff I'd done, the teams I'd beaten. It was a moment of utter calm, of perfect beauty.

Yay! Well, let's see what music I have for you today......[DV][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNDLoncWz30]LoZ - MM: Stone Tower Temple[/url]Out of the many odd areas in this game, this dungeon has to be the oddest dungeon ever. No other dungeon requires a bend of Newton's Gravity by shooting an arrow of light on a Blood-Stained emblem. I also read in Zelda Wiki that this dungeon pays homage to the Goddess' darker parts, showing many statues of them in the flesh and a truly demonic force as a mini-boss. The normal song is basically a beautiful swarm of a horn and an ocarina. The upside-down version sounds more twisted and devious, showing the Temple's true Dark Side. It's Strange, hard to comprehend and wondrous all at the same time.

There are a lot of theories about that temple Zero. Some people believe it to be a temple built to house Majora's Mask, or maybe it's just a tower that just so happened to lead to Hell, where Majora's Mask resided.

Others combined the Portal to Hell theory and made it more complex. According to this theory, the Kingdom of Ikana was building the Tower, or maybe scaling it, my memory about it is a little hazy, and that they believed that if they built it all the way to the Heavens they could reach a Portal to the Sacred Realm, use the Giant's Mask to kill the Goddesses, and show how the Giants were superior to the Goddesses. When the Goddesses saw what they were doing exactly, the had the Tower flip, causing the Terminians to fall into the bosses lair, believed at the time to house Majora's Mask. From there it goes on to describe how they began to worship the Mask, and that's when Termina took on the name Termina, a land destined to die. It's a well thought out theory, and my favorite about Majora's Mask.

And it's not so much as paying homage to them as mocking them. If you look on the blocks that you have to jump across to get to the Temple when the Tower is flipped, you can see the Triforce on the bottom of the block, being licked by the statues tongue. Not exactly paying homage to the Goddesses.If you look at the background before you enter the dungeon when it isn't flipped, you can see some pretty odd structures pointing to the sky, with a statue shaped as a hand with fire on the tip of it as well.

There are many mysteries surrounding the enigma of the dungeon, but that is why it is my favorite dungeon and area of the game.

Now, I could be wrong about some of these songs, I'm just guessing the correct station on some of them.

And Dark, nearly every song in this OST has lyrics (don't ask me what any of them mean...). What's your opinion?

Ah, just like when Dark had to listen to all my Fire Emblem songs that one time...

That was you, wasn't it Dark? Or did I do that in the second VGMS?

The singing doesn't do much for me, but that violin, oh, that violin. It's utterly, utterly beautiful. Such a melancholy edge to this piece, the beautiful, harmonic guitar in the background to the wailing, waning violin, such a perfect combination. A majestically heartfelt piece.

Aaand we've maxed out the number of quote blocks allowed on one post. Thanks for the DVs, you guys. xD

I've been pretty busy as of late, but I will try to add new songs when I can. Keep contributing, and I'll get around to you eventually!

The last few songs starting with Repose of Souls are sung in the FE ancient language, which is just Japanese backwards.

With 145 Radiant Dawn OST songs, I can't pick and choose, they're all so awesome, thus the long lists...
