Akira Yamaoka – You're Not Here

mrsalbertwesker:
Blue sky to forever,
the green grass blows in the wind, dancing
It would be a much better sight
With you, with me
If you hadn’t met me
I’d be fine on my own, baby
I never felt so lonely
Then you came along
So now what should I do
I’m strung out, addicted to you
My body aches
Now that you’re gone
My supply fell through
You gladly gave me everything you had and more
You craved my happiness
When you make me feel joy it made you smile,
but now I feel your stress
Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair,
no And who has time for tears
Never thought I’d sit around and cry for your love,
‘Till now…
This is still one of my most favorite songs.
Despite the fact that Konami seems all but hellbent on driving this series’ reputation, both past and future, into the ground, it’s reassuring to know that few soundtracks can give me absolute chills like this one. McGlynn’s vocal delivery still sends shivers here, and Yamaoka is one of the great heroes of VGM composition.
