I do not have a lot of analysis on "Quiet and Falling" as I have only played through Chapter 5: Mirror Temple once. The music throughout the stages progresses through all of "Quiet and Falling" with the first half playing during the first quarter of the stage (depending on how much exploring and how frequently you die) and then transitions into the second half of the song. But this music, or at least the first half of the song really struck me as calming and soothing in a game where the gameplay is nearly the opposite. It is vaguely reminiscent of "Save Haven" from Resident Evil, and maybe that was playing a bit into why I was immediately drawn to this piece. In a game where I die between 70 - 525 times a level, having a nice bit of calming music was exactly what I needed after the stressfulness that was the wind-sweptness of Chapter 4: Golden Ridge and the death chasm that was Chapter 3: Celestial Resort.
Just a calming piece of music that we all sometimes need to keep that feather aloft.
