Soundtrack Sunday: Sora (Vision of Escaflowne)

It’s Soundtrack Sunday again! The day where I post awesome music to write to or just listen to for pleasure if you’re a fellow soundtrack junkie. This week I was going through some of my YouTube playlists in search of music to rediscover and I found this gem. This piece is from a 90s anime called Vision of Escaflowne that was pretty good actually with very good music. 

The song is very peaceful with gentle vocals and wind instruments. Near the middle the song picks up into a fantasy-like tune with unusual instruments such as the harpsichord and Jamaican steel drums, then settles back down into peaceful. It’s a soothing peace good for a fantasy scene. The lyrics are in Ancient Romanian and give the song a very foreign feel. Overall it is a lovely piece, give it a listen.  You can listen to more epic music in my Soundtrack Sundays YouTube playlist.
In the darkness 
The dragon 
wakes. 
The dragon awakens. 
To a heart 
that is numbed with cold 
the dragon takes.
With you at 
my side the 
dragon sleeps. 
On dragon 
wing your 
wishes will 
leap.
lalala… your wishes can 
bring forth a destructive future. 
lalala… or you can 
bring salvation.
In the darkness 
The dragon 
wakes. 
The dragon awakens. 
To a heart 
that is numbed with cold 
the dragon takes.
