Spirit of the Night

February 28, 2021

An appropriately weepy lament—sadder and more introspective than I Won’t Forget, which has a similar electric piano backing.  It’s followed by a dreamy B section that brings hope and a sense of tenacity. The remake has a piano arrangement which lacks the excessive sentimentality of the Super Nintendo’s version. It’s embellished by a choir in the recap, and the B section has a similar character to the original until the choir rejoins. This track easily adapts to a nice solo piano tune.
