  "I could listen to these strings all day" well, there's a certain Path in the game that lets you do that (and also, experience a lot of pain)

  Desperation is the word I’d use to describe this track. All the plans they had to save everything, all the suffering and sacrifices. All for nought.

  “Sealed away for a reason.” No mind to think, no will to break, no voice to cry out. There was no reason in the end.

  Grimm and Nightmare King Grim are definitely something you might want to listen.

  This song within context is one of my favorite musical pieces ever written. The use of different leitmotifs that are introduced in the game's earlier tracks are used to remind the player of this boss's connections to the story, certain characters you've learned about/met, and you yourself. The sequence used never really reaches anywhere, as you noticed by the "lack of drop", which symbolizes a sort of desperate/useless attempt to get somewhere that you can never reach. This idea holds a lot of significance for this boss specifically when you know its story. And the mode used in the song really gives you a sense of dread/sadness, especially in the second phase of the boss. It isn't the normal upbeat/confident/bombastic boss battle music that keeps you on your toes and envelops you with fast-paced runs and loud percussion, but rather a slow, somber climb that slows the pace of the fight and makes you feel wrong for even fighting at all. It's perfectly written for the emotional/story-driven aspects of its purpose imo!

  I cannot listen to Sealed Vesel without shedding tears, knowing the desperate, agonising plea for mercy that is the fight for that song. And all the while, it is just magnifiscent and beautifull musically.

  The &quot;bombastic drop&quot; at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2ki1n4Ut-c&amp;t=385">6:25</a> didnt happen because thats the ending cutscene, it makes way more sense if you see it

  &quot;False knight&quot; &quot;Mantis Lords&quot; and &quot;Nosk&quot; are really good ones! <br><br>The vast majority of the ost is connected in some way. Many of the songs represent a lot of story within the game, and tell much more.

  Pure vessel is more orchestric and sounds more majestic too on purpose, its more leveled, its the purest form, because it shows a glimpse of what once was, while all was good in the world, royalty, loyalty, duty and honor, even a bit of naivity of youth, before corruption took place and the truth was revealed. And everything become tainted. A sacrifice had to be made.<br><br>The sealed vessel is the form after the corruption and sacrifice takes place, a sad form of existence, a shell of its former self, its more sad and somber in nature, its more desperate, it has lost control, its in fact all about tragic irony, one of the worst and most tragic of tales. But a shimmer of hope still remains cause our little knight protagonist can offer another sacrifice for another shot at the cycle of life.

  So for context: Sealed Vessel is the theme that plays while you&apos;re fighting &quot;The Hollow Knight&quot;, one of the final bosses of the game. Pure Vessel is part of the last big update in which you can fight a &quot;pure&quot; form of the Hollow Knight, in its prime, untouched by the corruptive infection it holds in the base game.

  The litemotif in these two tracks has a lot of placement in the game, almost like a thread to follow, I&apos;m looking forward to see if and when you catch onto the moments 😊
