I started Everybody's Gone to the Rapture a few weeks back after deciding that I needed a bit of a palette cleanser after playing Unreachable (stay tuned for that article in the coming weeks). Initially, I had started filming my gameplay like I've been doing for a couple of games over the last several months, but then I decided that this was just going to be for me. I might take some pictures here and there, but the experience of playing the game I was going to leave to myself and not worry about recording it to upload it to YouTube. This was for me.
Then I reached the scene in the chapel and then the music came up and after reaching the outside of the house, I knew that I needed to exit out of the game and replay it and film it, again just for myself so that I could view this amazing sequence of visuals and music all over again. And so today we have the song that played during that second half of the sequence, "The Mourning Tree."
I've tried looking up what is being sung during the first half but those lyrics currently are eluding me. The lyrics for "The Mourning Tree" are easily accessible although I'm not going to do a lyric analysis about that*. I will say that the first time I played through this, I wasn't paying attention to the lyrics until the line, "I heard you coming home." And that's when I was hit hard in the feelings department.

*Although I will say that the mention of "the bomber's drone" and that the game takes place in 1984, makes me feel like this would be a WWII song, although this is an original song composed for the game.
