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!

This is called The Tempest by a band called Pendulum.
Well, after much lyric-analysing, this song is nothing more than a man trying to express his anger to his partner who caused all this ruckus. Yes, at least that's what it says.
But you see, the thing about this song is not the lyrics but rather...the melody itself, how the song has its ups and downs, its build-ups and climaxes. And when you really listen to it, you can truly feel the anger raging in the melody, in those shifting notes. It surrounds itself in dread and anger, but at one point (at exactly 5:15), the song slows down...and the build up begins.
It goes higher and higher, like it was being released from within. Anger grew, but it begins to drain itself out in this cacophony, this...powerful surge of a tune.
My friend, the one who introduced to this wonderful band, described that part as a storm. Amidst the stormy winds, the angry gales, the shrieking air, you stand in the eye of the storm as the observer. You witness this chaotic sight before you, remembering the sight of it and the intensity of the air. It is like a powerful force...
and then it dies, leaving you satisfied.
...
Ah well, this song is on loop.
