I am going mad
I'm watching a movie of a speed attack on the original Final Fantasy (why? Fuck you, that's why), and it occurred to me that the beginning of the overworld music is highly reminiscent of a particular Sufjan Stevens song, or maybe a song Sufjan Stevens is likely to write. But probably the former, because it maps tolerably well onto the melody of the line "it's been a long long time", up to and including the first "long"—but I can't remember which song that line's from, and I don't have the patience to listen to 190 minutes of mallet percussion and banjo to figure it out. Is it "He Woke Me Up Again", which I initially thought? Is it "Romulus"? "All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands"? Am I on crack?
Also, the music for the second dungeon, the one after you get the ship? Prog as fuck. Just sayin'.

It's not "Rocket Man"?

It was "In the Devil's Territory", and the line is in fact "we stayed a long long time". Success0rs!

I had to find out by listening to the album, so I think you win anyway.

I think there's a lesson in here about all his songs sounding the same. You should hear the new album.

It's true, I should. I didn't know it was out yet, though I guess the power of the intarweb changes things...

It's not out, but as you know, the power of working at a radio station changes things.
