Wow. Just wow. I have seen your works in the 'Town Music' series, in the 'Fastest Spook in the West' and now here, and you never cease to amaze me. This is absolutely gorgeous!
I intended here to put some form of analysis for each song, but... I don't know what. Firstly, you seem way more advanced in your music knowledge than I could try to be. Secondly, I don't think you need an analysis. Your music is an adventure, and you know perfectly well what you're doing.
I also read your story along. Nice to see how you actually made an entire game around it in your head. And accompanying the final song, reading the final piece of story almost made me tear up (ME of all people!). Just... "he can finally be at peace knowing that his family will be cared for, guided by starlight" hurt me. I think it is perfectly fitting for the album to be called "Guided by starlight".
Just beautiful, glad to see you're back <3
