Songs to Grow On: Sulyya Springs

I can't think of much to write at the moment. I have a few Composer Spotlights running through my head, but those always take so much research and dedication, neither of which I have at the moment. I didn't just want to give a Song to Grow On though; so, I thought I'd share a song that's incredibly special to me. This is "Sulyya Springs" from Final Fantasy XIII:

For those curious as to why this is my favorite song (and are braced for some personal emotionality), click below.

Songs to Grow On: Nautilus

I don't know why I haven't posted more songs from Final Fantasy in this blog yet. It seems like the obvious choice when speaking of video game music. But I digress. This song from Final Fantasy XIII is played in Nautilus, an entertainment city for the residents of the game's world. As fantastic and sweeping as much of the song is, it still has a few sweeter, sadder moments, implying that not everything is as bright and innocuous as it seems. This song, written by the amazing Masashi Hamauzu, has really touched me recently, so I thought I would share it with you as well.
