Engaging piano. Is that a little dissonance I sense after the first phrase of the piano solo? Very smooth mood music.

The vocals coming in was a surprise. Impressive all around. Unfortunately, it's kind of an abrupt ending.

I like it, a nice interpretation of music from a game deserving of the attention it gets at this site.

Nothing bad to say about this track at all except I'd like more of north's sexy vocals.

This song is great, but Im constantly waiting for dale north to suprise me with something that breaks away from his typical style. I'm sure he would come up with some great results with a little experimentation.

Touching, sweet, and something definitely that can calm down even the most stressed of people. GREAT to show your girlfriend/fiancee, especially if you did something stupid and want her to smile.
About time this hit ocr :D

This was always one of my favorite songs from Bound Together.
I know Dale hates the game and the music and blah blah blah, bitch bitch bitch, but he did a great job on this song and as always, his singing blew me away.
If you're checking this out and haven't heard the whole project before, give it a listen (link in the song write up) because you're guaranteed to find something you love. Seems Bound Together won't go away no matter how many times the website dies or gets moved, and that puts a smile on my face.

Much <3 Dale, glad to see this here on OCR. Now if only Ailsean would submit HIS songs... hahaha.

Awesome piano work, a very professional sound, and damn this just good music. I sure as hell didn't know Dale could sing. For me this stacks up to Dragon Song and Pillar of Salt in terms of pure awesomeness.

Great composition all around, also the production values in the composition really enhance the mood at the perfect moments.

Default Ah, Dale.

Very beautiful. Very easy on the ears. Great way to get someone who hates video games to listen to remixes. It's a little on the cheesy side, but Dale's got a great voice so I can forgive.

Oh wow, it sure has been a long time since we've had Dale North on OCR. Not to mention, there's been a recent massive flux of Earthbound ReMixes, which can only mean great things!

Moving on, Dale North *solidly* arranges one of my all-time favorite tunes from Earthbound. This completely blew me away, especially by the time lyrics came in. I had no idea of Dale's singing talents. Nice, peaceful, arrangement mostly dominated by pianos and soft strings and pads -- overall the arrangement sounds incredibly full and lifelike. Props to you, Dale North.

I'm quite familiar with the song from BT before it hit us here at OCR.

Very good, but, I'd expect my reaction is similar to many others that might spring up.

The vocals, they're great, they slap you hard with a serious blast of concentrated beauty...

Then...

they are gone.

The song is short; it is good, but it is short. I always feel like this song needs just one more minute.
