"Garden of the Gods" is the literal translation of the song from the Japanese soundtrack, while the English translation uses "The Sea of Eden," which is where this song plays apart from the opening titles. I decided to use the translation of the Japanese title because that's how I had titled the MP3 file when I first ripped it from the CD, and I'm not about to change it now.
That being said, I've only ever heard this song during the titles after "Time's Scar" plays because the two times I have played Chrono Cross, I've never actually made it to the late-game area of the Garden of Eden. The furthest I've gotten in the game was from my last attempt back in 2008, when I was plodding around the islands and grinding levels for Pip and trying to get them to evolve; I don't know where I was specifically regarding the overall story.
So unfortunately, that's my only experience with "Garden of the Gods." It's an absolutely beautiful song performed by a choir and a harp. That's it, because that's all it needs. I love it.
