Miracle of Sound: Dream of Goodbye (BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Song)

[Kerethos]

Wonderful song Gavin, and an excellent performance from Lorna. You really managed to match the song with both how the Burial at Sea story played out and with your previous songs inspired by the Bioshock games (all of which I consider some of your best work).

I actually listened to this on Spotify yesterday morning, realized immediately it was about the Burial at Sea DLC, went and played through them, and I was genuinely sad about the way it ended. But I enjoyed having some closure for once. And even though I correctly guessed how most of it would play out, much of it before starting the DLC (probably due to still remembering Bioshock), it was quite the journey. You can tell that the characters are Ken Levine's babies and he made sure to close their stories, so that no one else would mess with them.

Aside from that you and Lorna continue to make a great vocal pairing, and I think most of us would really enjoy hearing both of you together again. All in all another great song, and I thank you for continuing to work hard and producing excellent music that we keep listening to long after we're done with the games and TV that inspired them.

Great work on the video too.

Well, I'm struggling. Dream of the Sky is my favourite, but this is a serious contender. Doesn't help that I'm still a bit wrapped up in the ending of the DLC...

While I still like "Dream of the sky" more this is a wonderful ending to a series of songs based on a wonderful ending to a series of games. What's that? They are going to make more Bioshock games but with a different studio? I'm not saying Bioshock 2 was bad and stands as living proof that future bioshock games will be terrible (mostly due to Miranda's den) but there is a reason why Gavin hasn't made a Bioshock 2 song.

Honestly, Little Sister has always felt way more like a Bioshock 2 song than a Bioshock song. I know that's not the source they chose to take their video clips from, but it just generally suits the mood of the second game more than the first for me.
