Amazing music from an amazing anime
I love the anime .hack//sign, so when I saw this CD at a local music store, I jumped at the chance to buy it. This CD contains the opening and ending themes, and a good deal of the background music.
1. Yasashii Yokae: The ending theme. It's a nice song, and easy to learn the lyrics to. It's the only song in japanese on the CD.
2. The World: The very first song we heard in the show, it played during the first part of the first episode. It's a song that reflects what it must be like for some of the players in the world. "Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?"
3. Kiss: A quiet and beautiful song, it never fails to make me happy when I listen to to.
4. Key of the Twilight: A song for Tuskasa. It is one of the songs we hear most often. The vocals give the feeling that the person singing it misses something dearly, and wants only to get it back. "The key to open the door is in your hand, now take me there"
5. Valley of Mist: This song has three very different sections in it. This song feels like it is almost hiding something from us.
6. Where the Sky is High: A majestic song, it mirrors the vastness and majesty of The World itself.
7. Fake Wings: It reminds you of someone who acts strong, but inside really just wish someone would help her. "Dear my love, sweet morning light, wait for me, you've gone much farther, too far"
8. Interlude: Another happy song. The flute and bells cheer up the song, and you feel like whatever comes next has to keep getting better.
9. Fear: As the title suggests, this is a lonely and tense song. A sharp contrast to "Interlude," it is cold and sad.
10. Aura: The lyrics suggest someone both powerful and powerless at the same time. You feel that this person holds great pwoer over someone else, but she cannot suvive without this person. "But you can't see the sun ever in the darkness. It does not much matter to me"
11. Before Dawn: A nice song, but not a great as what we've heard up to now. It's quiet and sweet, but it just doesn't come close to the level of emotion that some of the other songs have had.
12. Foreigners: And upbeat melody, a South American beat, and and a set of bells make this song a great one to dance to. It just makes you want to get up and dance around the room.
13. B.T.: A sad song, the violin and piano duet really make for a beautiful melody. It relfects a mature side of everyone that comes out sometimes, whether we want it to or not.
14. A Stray Child: A sweet song, it seems to be someone crying for a loved one to come back. "Now you're too close to the pain, let all the rain go further. Come back and kiss me in vain"
15. Sit Beside Me: It's about time we got a another make-you-feel-happy song! That's exactly what this song does, it gives a beat that make you smile.
16. Magic and Sword: It has an almost playful feeling of tension, as odd as that may sound. Another good one to dance to, it's quick tempo makes it feel playful and energtic, while the melody gives the feeling of tension.
17. A Bit of Happiness: The title doesn't quite fit, the song doesn't really reflect that much happiness. It is almost regretful.
18. Silent Life: This song goes from a lone vocalist to a involed song filled with many different part playing at any one time, it feels like life coming from loneliness and sorrow.
19. Obsession: The black sheep on the CD, a very modern song full of electronic beats and a the feel of a remix. The opening credits. "How come I must know where obsession needs to go?"
