The song that calms the turbulent soul and mends the broken heart.
"Believe in your friends and embrace that belief by forgiving failure."
The Song of Healing does not mask or eliminate pain. Rather, it tells us to embrace pain as a natural part of life, and to greet suffering and death as old friends and with open arms.
"Whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. However, that parting need not last forever... Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time... That is up to you."
We carry our suffering with us throughout our lives; it shapes us, builds us, and transforms us. The mask of anguish is but one of man’s many faces.

Arranged for guitar and violin. I don't care if it's from a video game, it's one of my favorite pieces of music ever. :) Fun fact: it's in E Phrygian mode for the first two sections, then shifts to Bb major for the bridge. I think that's cool, anyways...)
