\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 I think of the word “peach,” I think of three things: my home state of Georgia, the color peach, and Princess Peach from Super Mario! Thus I’ve decided to Super Mario theme this week’s Writerly bundle!<\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe Song:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n“Rosalina in the Observatory 2”<\/span><\/div>\n
\nfrom the Super Mario Galaxy<\/i> soundtrack<\/span><\/div>\n
\nby Koji Kondo<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen most people think of Super Mario, they don’t relate this classic video game series with beautiful music. I didn’t either until I plated Super Mario Galaxy<\/i>. The music is fully orchestrated and written by the famous Koji Kondo (who wrote the Legend of Zelda soundtracks). I love the classical yet techy for the sci-fi nature of the game mix. This piece sounds like a waltz. It’s full of strings, cellos, and flutes. It’s relaxing and calm. I could see it played in a ball let alone at a space station! Believe it or not I could see the piece relating to a historical or fantasy story.<\/span><\/div>\n
