I couldn't find anyone to do Gilbert, which is unfortunate, because I was trying hard to keep a straight face when doing his lines, and I’m not a good singer, so that part could’ve gone better. Oh well.

This song’s mainly centered around that infectious and multi-faceted beat. I layered three drum tracks on top of one another. The first is the bass drums alone, while the second is the heavier artillery such as the toms and snares. That third track is those wood blocks. Given that this song is primarily rhythm-based, there’s not anything else to really say about the song. As with “Coastal Harmony,” this one also only plays for one map, and it’s suitably brief. However, I think this track is a bit more enjoyable than “Coastal Harmony.” The software I used to visualize the song is an awesome program called "MIDI Trail."

If you like what you hear, check out the full playlist of music I've written for Key to Heaven: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWMOdG5_bZusk5d7elslCKsHXZK5XdQT- I kind of like how this one's title has the same rhymes as the "Parched Lands" track. Compared to "Parched Lands," this song is much more plodding, much more driven, and much more immediate. There's a greater note density here and a LOT less breathing room than in "Parched Lands." This one should play during long treks through the desert. I purposefully wrote the song to kind of drone on in a monotonous way; you'll notice that for the vast majority of the song, I have a three-part monophony which simply shifts between two chords (Ab and B). Towards the beginning, it's only the bass and the sax which comprise a two-part monophony, but starting at 1:13, the sitar joins in and from there, it's typically a three-part monophony. I actually wrote this song BEFORE I wrote "Parched Lands," so this is the very first song I wrote which makes use of the sitar. However, I did use a different sitar soundfont for this one than I did for "Parched Lands" since I thought it fit better. The sitar was definitely a good choice for a song which is supposed to drone on repetitively. If there's any misgiving I have about this song, it's the length... but I suppose it can't be helped, given the tempo. What do you think? Too long? Too slow? Let me know in the comments below.

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a fairly modest person. So I hope you can believe me when I say that I think this song is VERY good. Among the songs I’ve written for Light of the World, this has become my new favorite. If you’ve kept up with my comments on my other tracks, you’ll notice that I tend to heavily value melody and find that it’s usually my favorite part of a song. And that’s precisely why I think this song works so well: the pan flute melodies just feel so natural and in-place, that when I listened to this song after finishing it, I thought “This is it!” My only minor regret is that this song isn’t longer, but on the other hand, 4 minutes and 41 seconds is still decently long for VG music standards. Of course, the other elements aside from melody had to fall into place as well. You’ll find that the steel guitar track is pretty dynamic, shifting chord progressions and harmonies at multiple occasions throughout the song. With some tracks, I take the approach of coming up with a melody first, and then writing a harmony or underlying progression to complement it. With this song, I did the opposite, electing to work on the guitar progression first and then fit in the pan flute melody. Perhaps I should use this approach more often because it worked very well here. I wanted to make this song at least moderately lengthy since it’s the second ship theme in my game. There is a part in the game which features a long, arduous journey to the northern reaches of the world map, and so this song becomes the sailing music for that segment. Because of this, the goal was to write this song to be markedly more somber and dramatic than “Seaward Bound,” the original ship theme. Your mileage may vary, but to me, the melodies felt a lot more immediate and forceful than those of “Seaward Bound.” I wanted the song to capture the serious mood of this final voyage, while also conveying a sense of force and dynamism to reflect the difficulty and length of the journey. Another essential component to me was that it had to reflect that sense of finality. “Northern Voyage” contains many parts with strong and fierce melodies, but it also has pockets of quietude which allow for more breathing room. As a whole, the song shifts around in mood often, and so I feel like it does not get old, even after quite a few loops. Ideally, that’s the goal of ANY video game song: that the player can tolerate it even after many iterations. If you’re listening to this song, I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do. I’m not overly enthusiastic about some of my songs, and overall do not like to brag, but this is one song to which I will proudly point and say “I’m very happy with this result.” The software I used to visualize the song is an ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFvKl10_vEc
