The Place I'll Return To Someday ~ Melodies of Life

s an apology for my delays and forgetting, I will release this special edition.


This bonus edition presents, "The Place I'll Return to Someday" and "Melodies of Life".


"The Place I'll Return to Someday" is a short, melodic piece based on the D Dorian mode and is contrapuntal in nature. However, some of these elements are more or less apparent, or even non-existent, in the many reiterations heard throughout Final Fantasy IX. Despite its shortness, the theme has been included in many official arrangements and compilations and played several times during live performances. It reference directly to the Protagonist, Zidane's, forgotten home, and the terrible truth behind it.


"Melodies of Life" is the theme song of Final Fantasy IX. The song was composed by Nobuo Uematsu and sung in both Japanese and English by Emiko Shiratori. The melody is featured in many instances throughout the game, mostly in scenes involving Zidane and Garnet, or in Madain Sari. "Over the Hills" is Final Fantasy IX's Main Theme, and is an arrangement of the central melody of "Melodies of Life." It serves both as the romantic theme between thief Zidane and Princess Garnet and the theme of hope and dream. The tune, true to its name, is melodies and soothing. It calms the mind and is very beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend listening to it during high stressed Exam season.


And here presents "A Place I'll Return to Someday ~ Melodies of Life".
