There are songs that are simple ballads. There are songs that energize with a catchy background beat. Then there are songs like Edge of Faith that combine the two elements.
I didn't care too much for Mirror's Edge, but this song has a permanent place in my iPod's playlist. It's a rarity to find a VG song that fulfills the whim of such a large fanbase, even ranging outside of the game's fans itself.
The vocals are well placed and follow a great rhythm to complement the energetic BG breakbeat. The addition of guitar in the background also brings out a new and intense mixture of energy and softness. It calms the mind yet brings out the yearn to dance.
The song as a whole develops at a nice pace and has a very catchy atmosphere to it. Everything integrates well, and overall, it's probably the most complete and balanced musical piece I've seen from you. Excellent work.
PS: Does anyone else think this song has a sort of Egyptian feel to it, or is it just me?
