The movie matches this song's development, and it really feels like you've completely watched a film, right? The beautiful, delicate harp's flowing melody and the whimsical, majestic chorus are all worth listening to. Since the melody changes from 8-beats, to 12-beats, to 16-beats, and to 24-beats, it'd be great if you can play it while switching between the rhythmic feeling. It'd be great to be aware that 24-beats is twice as fast as 12-beats. | ||
