A to Z Challenge: Beyond Two Souls "Jodie's Suite"

 
For my first A to Z Challenge ever, I'm highlighting a favorite track from various science fiction and fantasy movies, games, and TV shows. Feel free to press play and listen while you visit other A to Z participants.

A recent favorite from the hit game Beyond Two Souls, this track left me feeling all mysterious and haunted by the unusual life of Jodie Holmes as she has to deal with a paranormal entity ever since birth. I enjoyed the game (review to come someday), but I loved the score by Lorne Balfe and Hans Zimmer even more. This is a great track to write with.


I hope you enjoyed the track, and thank you for stopping by.

I'm David, and cinema games are getting better and better!

    Thanks.

    P.S. I joined your blog as a follower, but for some reason today my picture is not showing up when I join the blog. So that little generic face listed in your followers is me.

  5. Alex is right -- a true Japanese flavor -- I like the music to the second GHOST IN THE MACHINE animation -- INNOCENCE.

  13. This music is fabulous, very haunting, especially the single female voice that opens the piece. I can see myself writing to this. Thanks for the rec.

  18. I love your theme for A to Z! When I played the piano, I would always bring in sheet music from Final Fantasy and ask my teacher to teach it to me. . Great song choice, by the way!

  19. I'm definitely a gamer, but have never tried this game! So you do game reviews too? That is something I've told myself for years I would do and just never seem to get around to it.

    This is a great song. I love most all things Hans Zimmer. Period :)

  22. Nice choice of music, David. I don't dare try out any of the games for fear of getting addicted...I had enough trouble breaking my Minesweeper habit. But sound tracks are a whole different ballgame. I like it.
