Kajiura Yuki - In early spring [ Fate/Stay Night - Heaven's Feel - Spring Song ]

There weren't many tracks in heaven's feel that really stood out for me. There was only one upload I did for "Heaven's feel movie - Presage Flower" and that too was not something I found to be very great, but something that went nice ( which unfortunately got copyright blocked ). "Movie 2 - Lost Butterfly" had nothing that caught my ear, and here is "Movie 3 - Spring Song", which had a couple of tracks. From entire heaven's feel movie series, i'd pick this one to be my favourite, much unlike the fate anime series ( including the 2006 one ) where it was hard for me to put my finger on one favourite.

BUT soundtracks aside, this was probably the best fate route ( and probably the most darkest and emotional one as well ) I have seen. Still I would have preferred the anime format better, but the movies did not disappoint at all.

Anyway, coming back to the track, If I recall correctly, this played pretty early on in the movie, and it was right at that intro section of the movie where I knew I needed this track. Funnily enough, we have the signature vocals composed by Kajiura Yuki, HOWEVER these are not just normally composed vocals by her. They are much much more! If you pay attention to it, these vocals are also the tune of the ending song of movie 3 called "Haru wa Yuku". The music is ofcourse music and different, but the symphony is more or less the same. Vocals make it a little hard to notice easily but if you listen to the symphony in this track, and in the ending song "Haru wa Yuku", you will easily notice the resemblace, at least in the first two sections of the track.

The chorus is pretty straightforward, and the background music being more towards the ambient side in the first section of this track, from 0:00 to 0:41. From 0:41 section, the vocal music remains similar, but there is a xylophone added to it making it sound more like a soundtrack. The part is really beautiful, and the overall soundtrack has a mix of emotions, both sadness and happiness, but I think it leans more towards the sad side. But can be interpreted in any way I believe. This second section ends at 1:21 and the track then shifts into the third section of it. Its a little different than the first two where the vocals change their music and a small cello section added to it, but the track closes it pretty quickly in 30 seconds. A little different and honestly I don't know what to feel about this part, but it maintains the flow of the music.
The first two sections remain as my favourite.

I am just a big fan of "Haru wa Yuku" and it wasn't until a few days later when I listened to this track back that I realized the actual music of it. Added more depth to an already great track, at least for me.
