The music itself gives off a mellow, | The music itself gives off a mellow, melancholy feel. There are two measures of piano with backing vocals before the melody comes in. This melody is carried by the flute, which features a prominent vibrato in the HD remix version. In the first 4-measure phrase, the accompaniment starts on the D minor chord, which brings the melancholy mood, but it gradually gets more uplifting as the chords shift the tonic to d minor's relative F Major. | ||
The second 4-measure phrase has an identical melody to the first, but this time the accompaniment begins on F Major, making the repeated phrase sound much brighter. However, Roxas's story was always steeped in sorrow, and as such, for the final 2-measure phrase, the accompaniment jumps back to the tragic D minor, low and heavy on the piano. | |||
