Top 5 songs I like... currently.

Exam period is when I love my melancholic songs the most. And here's the 5 songs I love the most and haven't gotten tired of even though I've been playing it for 14 hours a day since 22 October.

#5 The World (.hack//SIGN)
.hack, both game and anime has provided me with one of the best melancholic OSTs I've heard. And this, so far, is my favourite of all the .hack anime soundtracks.

"Do you call it solitude or do you call it liberty when all the world turns away and leaves you lonely?"
"The fields are filled with desire. All hearts keep crying for freedom. But all in vain, they will fade away. There's only you, to answer you, forever."

These remain as one of my favourite lines in song lyrics. And the lyrics to this song are, so far, the best I've read.

#4 Ship of Fools (Tsubasa Chronicles)
The BGM when they show the Shaoran trapped in Fei Wong Reed's capsule. It's just so nice. Why? I can't explain it. It gives me a feel of horror and revelation.

#3 You Are My Love (Tsubasa Chronicles)
I prefer the Japanese version of the song. It builds up stress in me as I hold in my sadness when I hear this song.

#2 A Song of Storm and Fire (Tsubasa Chronicles)
Gooi may not understand this song. But I can feel it. At least, I feel something when I listen to this song. A powerful feeling. For me, I see an eternal entanglement of hope and despair. When I go towards hope, I see desperation. When I can only feel desperation, I see hope. And the cycle continues. But, despite all that, I still cling onto that chance of reaching hope one day. Sounds like Shaoran, doesn't it?

#1 One-Winged Angel (Final Fantasy VII)
Unlike #2, this has no hope. What I'm doing is fighting despair with no chance of winning. This is THE ultimate song to describe a futile struggle. Of course, I probably feel that way because I've played FFVII, Kingdom Hearts and KHII and have battled Sephiroth while listening to that song throughout the battle. I died 4 times in FFVII before I finally beat him, 8 times in KH, and 14 times in KHII. Haha... because of all that, I've always felt a cold chill down my spine when I hear that song being played while I play a game.
