Aufsteigende Flügel is German for "Soaring Wings", a beautiful piano piece composed by Masashi Hamauzu. It is a retreat, a place for me to speak my mind, my thoughts,
and my ideas. I bid you all welcome and please, enjoy your stay while you can.
In case you're wondering, the song you hear playing in the background is called Memories, composed and performed by Kow Otani for the best PS2 game of all time, Shadow of the Colossus.
This was one of the many unused tracks from the game, so I thought I might do it justice playing this lovely track here. It may take a while to load, but please pause it and give it a good listen.
Otani makes good music (unfortunately, this is the only one I know of), and this is one of them. Enjoy!

Which is true.
Or rather,
We simply do not want to be understood.
And by 'we', I meant my sister and I.
We are like two sides of a coin. Me being the rebellious one, always wanting to fight for our rights (and mine as well), willing to go against my parents, me being the vocal one. And then there's my sister; the passive one, the one that keeps it all to herself, swallowing it down, keeping that cold exterior about her to make sure no one worries for her. When bad things happen, I would run and forget, but she will stay on. She'd stand there and endure the blows, afraid to turn coward and run away like me.
She's such a mouse, and I am the loud dog who barks fiercely but flees when things go wrong. Heck, at least she's being honest.
To us, we only have each other. Sure, our parents support us, gives us the love that we both need. But really, in truth, there is just 'us'.
We refuse to be helped, no matter how loud we cry and beg for love. We simply refuse. Why? I know not. It is simply within our nature.
Only we know how we feel.
No one else.

I conclude that the female vocalist of this band has a beautiful voice; mellow and sweet to the ears. It has that innocence about it, not that much to make me melt to my knees, but it just makes you float in the air and fly high above the clouds.
And looking at the real faces of these people...
She's such a doll. I love her already.
I haven't heard their other albums as this was my first for them. Here are the songs listed in their 2006 album, Like Vines.
- We Intertwined
- Dark Congregation
- Sweet Tangerine
- Lion's Roar
- Lighthouse
- Don't Wake Me Up
- Where We Went Wrong
- Magnolia
- Wine Red
- Out Through the Curtain
- You Are The Moon
The ones I bolded and italic-ise are the highly recommended songs and it's a big must to hear these first! XD Nothing special, my friends, but I figured you all should hear those three first before exploring the rest of the track. And I can't let you listen to Lion's Roar without first letting you hear the good ones. As for the italic ones, they're also pretty good tracks, but it's best that you listen to the bolded-italic ones first before trying the rest.
We Intertwined serves as the opening like a fresh appetizer to the audience. The piano, to me, was the crux of this song, though later it moves to the drums and guitars. It truly adds to the freshness of the song and really, it sounds like the kind of song you would wake up to on a Monday morning (I say Monday morning, because it is still upbeat and keeps you on the move).
Don't Wake Me Up sounds fresh, upbeat, and just makes you feel like jumping to the beat. Oh, no, it's nothing clubby. I mean my words when I say 'fresh', again. Look out for a little surprise at minute 0:42 (what a coincidence, it's my lucky number!) when you listen to this one.
As you go on, you'll eventually get the hang of it.
Personally, I find Lion's Roar a very interesting song. Perhaps the lyrics is interesting as well, but it is the rhythm, melody, and the way it was sung. A strange song, but interesting, nonetheless.
But out of all of them, I find You Are The Moon as the loveliest track on the list. Obviously, my love for the piano-voice combination is part of the reason. But here, it's not just that. The lovely lyrics go hand-in-hand with the repetitive simple melody.
I'll end the post with this beautiful track. So here it is:
You Are The Moon by The Hush Sound
