- The theme song is dedicated to the secondary main character in the Final Fantasy 7 universe, Tifa Lockhart. Tifa's story in Final Fantasy 7 has ups and downs which is what the theme song resembles her character. She is trying to fight her adversities amidst her journey in saving the planet and stopping the main villain in Final Fantasy 7.
​
The game was highly praised as the best narrative story in-depth and turn-based role play game. As for the theme song, it commemorates Tifa's memories throughout her childhood until adulthood. The same goes for us who are reminiscing and cherishing our memories from the past and until now.
- California Calls is a song created by a British Songwriter, Dan Gautreau. It was released in 2013. The song is popular after a popular horror game,"The Quarry" was released in 2021. The game highlights this song as the core towards the narrative of the game.
​
The Quarry is the 2nd installment horror game created by Supermassive Games and published by 2K. The plot tells us that the camp counselors had been trapped in a hellish nightmare at night on the woods since their car engine broke down. Could it be the ghosts that are preventing them to go home? Or could it be a curse then?
​
The music engulfs us with excitement and thrill. Overall, the player of the game can determine the fate of the camp counselors depending on the choices he or she makes whether they can make it or not.
- Taylor Swift's song, "Lover", conveys a lovely message about discovering genuine love and developing a close, meaningful relationship with someone special. The song captures the warmth and contentment that comes from being with someone who genuinely gets you and accepts you for who you are. It discusses creating a solid foundation of love, devotion, and trust in a partnership that endures hardships and triumphs.
​
Warmth and memories wash over me as I listen to "Lover." The song's lyrics depict a timeless, sincere, and pure love story. I feel happy and in love with the song because of its beautiful melody and Taylor Swift's heartfelt vocals, which creates a calming ambiance. I can relate to the song personally since it reminds me of my past experiences with love.
"Lover" is a reminder of the beauty and power of love in all its forms. It conveys a sense of hope and optimism, celebrating the joy of finding that one person who makes you feel complete and cherished. The song leaves me with a sense of gratitude for the love I have experienced and a longing for the kind of deep, fulfilling connection that "Lover" beautifully portrays.
- "End of Beginning" by Djo is a reflective song about moving on from a moment in life and saying goodbye to the past and this song really hit me hard. The opening lines suggest that the protagonist has shed all the tears they could and doesn't have any more left to cry, indicating that whatever was troubling them has run its course. The reference to Troubador and Caroline in the verses may suggest that the protagonist sought guidance from people they knew, but ultimately found their own way to move forward. The chorus mentions feeling like another version of oneself in Chicago, possibly suggesting that the protagonist had a significant experience in the city that shaped them into who they are now.
​
The line "wave goodbye to the end of beginning" suggest that the protagonist is acknowledging that everything has to come to an end, but they're saying goodbye to the beginning of that chapter in their life and moving forward with hope for the future. This song suddenly reminded me of that feeling you get when you realize your life is changing, where all of a sudden you get this deep and sudden awareness of a chapter in your life slowly closing.
- Seasons is about someone who loves their person from behind the scenes, someone who will do anything for them, even though they know they can't be together; someone who will give all their seasons, through thick and thin for that person. Someone who's willing to fade away and not be a part of their love's life for their sake.
​
"Seasons" by Wave to Earth is a heartfelt ballad about the bittersweet emotions of love and loss. The lyrics suggest that the narrator is in love with someone, but feels unable to be with them because they fear they will ruin their life. The verses paint a picture of a person who feels insignificant and unimportant, as if their life is falling apart and they could just disappear without anyone noticing. However, the chorus shows the depth of their love for tis person, as they pray for them all the time and would give them everything, including all of their seasons. The metaphor of seasons is used throughout the song to represent the ebb and flow of life, and how people come and go like the changing of seasons.
