Bastion is one of those (many, many) games that I picked up through an early Humble Bundle that for whatever reason I never got around to playing before the Great PC Gaming Die-Off of 2017, and by all accounts, this should have been a game that, by this point in time, would have already played through at least twice on PC and once on the Switch.  But, it is not a game that I have played, but I have listened to the soundtrack since around 2013 with semi-regular frequency.

Because I have not played Bastion, I am going to assume that based on where it falls in the soundtrack that it is the title track or the one that happens right as the game starts.  Hold on.

Okay, that does not seem to be the case, or the track is edited in a way that I cannot immediately tell.  Maybe it starts after the opening or at least after you apparently swan dive out of the window of The Sole Regret (because I apparently thought I was going to just look out of a window and then talk to whomever the barkeep was)?  I should learn to not be so eager to press "E" when standing near windows.  

Anyway, the point is, now at least, that I really like this song and would be a great introduction to the world of Bastion after whatever The Calamity was.  So until I figure out where this song occurs in the game, I am going to enjoy it as is.
