Spirited Away is one
of those movies that truly captures a sense of adventure. When watching
it I get lost in the small moments of the movie. The overarching story
means less than those moment to moment details - that is where the true
beauty lies.
This aforementioned beauty carries over into the
music. Each composition tells its own story, its own moment in time. Its
how these small stories come together that creates the true magic of
this release - and its all done so effortlessly.
When listening
to the soundtrack it brings me to a happier place. The orchestrations
have this playful tone to them that just beg the listener to smile. The
gentle sway of the strings whisk by like a gentle breeze. The piano
brings melodies resembling song birds. When the orchestra swells into a
climax, its never overwhelming but more like a leap of joy.
When I need to be reminded of what is good in the world, listening to this album points me in the right direction.
