The third track from Neural Pantheon's "Echos of Time" album, "Oh mother," is a heartwrenching and touching piece that pulls at everyone's heartstrings. A perfect mix of Adult Contemporary, Singer/Songwriter, and Electro, the track is a dedication of half memory, half admiration, half prayer in memoriam.
The arrangement starts with a soft opening that sounds like a distant recollection, then builds into a layered atmosphere of feeling. It combines electronic tinges with acoustic storytelling for an otherworldly contrast technology meeting tenderness. Neural Pantheon deftly exploits those contrasts to evoke the instability in memory. Those who have played Chrono Trigger will immediately pick up the thematic layers that provided the springboard for "Echos of Time."
"Oh mother" is a universal song about love and loss and reflection. The performance sounds intimate and sincere, like it's being sung in a more private moment of recollection. You can feel the emotion, which gives every line and harmony substance. "Oh mother" is something born of a musical letter written across dimensions, one that can travel through time and space, form and function. Neural Pantheon demonstrates yet again that when music comes from the heart, it becomes a story.
