\nWelcome to this week’s Writerly Bundle! A post where I hope to inspire you with three of the world’s greatest things: music, words, and tea.<\/p>\n

When thinking of what to theme this post for I immediately thought of Journey<\/i> since the game has so many beautiful instances of gold. It’s such a gorgeous game, and I hope this post helps you fall in love with it too!<\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe Song:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n“Apotheosis”<\/span><\/div>\n
\nfrom the Journey <\/i>original score<\/span><\/div>\n
\nby Austin Wintory<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen I hear this piece, I almost cry every time. It’s a profoundly beautiful piece full of emotional winds, violins, cellos, and bells. To me, it is the sound of pure joy and victory. It starts very soft then escalates into an amazing high point then softens to a bittersweet finish. I recommend the entire Journey<\/i> soundtrack, but this is one of my favorites. All of it is so moving.<\/span><\/div>\n
