Thats sung by "The Mighty Wind" right? I would love to find sheet music for that piece. I have listened to it multiple times, and it is one of the more memorable moments in the game. I hear it ,and it brings me to Colombia. My life has always been shaped by musical moments. For me what makes the best stories pop are the crescendos of emotion that music can create. The sound scape for this game makes me melancholy and nostalgic for a beauty of an America that once was, Only ever really in our imaginations, never to come again. the mood is set so beautifully by the music. I have been listening to this song and the church hymn in the beginning which have brought back so many positive memories. This game and your part in it was something special I am so in love with that Barbershop rendition of :God only knows: by the “beach boys”. Thats sung by “The Mighty Wind” right?

It's easy to think there's just a composer on staff, but coordinating the team, finding existing tracks, acting as liaison--there are quite a few musical hats to wear. Kudos on mentioning Journey. What a fantastic experience. ^_^ My stomach spasmed almost imperceptibly during the story when Jim said there were no mics aimed at the impromptu, magical performance. Most of us just get to enjoy the lightning, but you Irrational folks have to remember to snatch a bottle and try to capture it!
