Somewhere, there are going to people who hear this song and think, "Hey, that's an interesting sound", and just leave it at that. I hope the remixer knows that there are people who listened to this and were truly impressed at the quality and feel that was created for this mix!! Well done!!

Hey, this is an interesting sound. I kid, I kid. This is an impressive piece of music and I whole-heartily agree that this has all the makings of what it would have sounded like if 80's ballads had a an even better grasp of chip sounds and sound manipulation than they already did. Just wonderful. I really think this may be another one of my favorites from BONKERS. That ending as well, fine work man!

[Chernabogue]

LOL It starts exactly like "Requiem for the Nameless Victims" from Perfect Selection Dracula Battle -- actually the whole track has that 80's metal ballad vibe, which I like a lot. BONKERS has a strong Naoto Shibata influence, haha. Excellent production and performance (great solos!) -- love it!

I was waiting for the rock portion to start, I just knew it was there waiting to come at you during the first minute and a half. It’s so great. Very 80s rock ballad. It almost sounds like this would make a great ending theme for Final Fantasy II.

This is great, so much going on in a short time and very well executed.  Great arrangement and excellent production.

I feel like there are a couple of references to the Beatles here:
0:00-0:16 is the intro for Because in the arpeggio
2:53-2:57 mellotron is the intro to Strawberry Fields Forever

Really cool to bring that influence into the track.  Cheers!
