Saddest SNES Music: #11 - Phantom and a Rose - Secret of Mana

This is one of the town themes. It has a very empty and depressing feel, as if there's no reason to be happy again. Does a great job of creating a desolate, hopeless environment.

I remember getting lost and hearing this song played so so often. Very good pick indeed.

When you first hear this, with the little back story they give you about whats going on, you still know something is going on. Then you find out. Every person you walk by, a zombie like statue, frozen, soulless. This is the pivotal point in the game that makes things seem the most dire.

I never thought of this song as particularly sad. Yes, it is in a minor key, but it seems more like the people are resilient and will work through their troubles. Of course, I keep hearing the "WACK" sounds of the weapons as the tune goes on - this is played in certain enemy filled locations, near towns as well as within towns - so that may be flavoring my interpretation of the music slightly.

This is not that sad in comparison to the tree theme from where what's his name of secret of mana is taken over by thanatos.
