Musical Tuesday: “Walls No Man Has Seen” (The Banner Saga), composed by Austin Wintory

Change of format this week – I’m including the video on the front page. I’ll revert this if it ends up lagging the page; otherwise, it should spare the need to click through.

Musical Monday: “I Was Born For This” (Journey), composed by Austin Wintory

Following my review of Journey, this week’s song is that game’s closing theme, “I Was Born For This”. (I don’t think the similarity to Ico‘s closing song is a coincidence.) Enjoy!
