I haven't come across this thread yet, so I've decided to initiate it myself. There have been many games in the Kingdom Hearts franchise now, each with their own set of best tracks. I wanted to discuss the soundtrack to Birth by Sleep and see what tracks everyone else things belong under the best pieces for that game.
The character themes aside, I think one of the most heart wrenching pieces to exist in Birth by Sleep is 'Tears of the Light'. We first hear this haunting melody when Terra comes upon a crying Cinderella at the point in her story line where her step sisters have ruined what was once her mother's dress. The violins play a powerful role in this piece, conveying the sorrow of the character and how heartbroken she feels. This makes is a very fitting piece for the scene in which it is played.
Though for battle themes, I have to go with 'Rage Awakened' as my top battle theme. Not only does this piece occur in Birth by Sleep, we are first introduced to it in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix during the battle with the Lingering Sentiment. This song spins Terra's character into focus. A good portion of the piece is dedicated to the violins 'fighting back' against Xehanort's influence. Or at least I get that sort of impression.
What pieces are you favorites, and what would you like to share about them? I look forward to seeing everyone's own favorite selections. The only thing I ask is that they are Birth by Sleep tracks since this is the Birth by Sleep forum. Sorry, but no 'Vector to the Heavens'.
