Shadow Hearts' delightful music

I love my precious Shadow Hearts series and its marvelous music. Listen to some of them.
City - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk2GmykGvLE&NR=1

This song is played in Prague. I'd actually go to Prague sometimes and just stand there in the game to hear this song. (Yes, PeneloWeazel on Youtube is me you comment readers........)

Imbroglio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DvpaKKLJjw

This song is the final boss music on the first Shadow Hearts. Appropriate for fighting God, huh?!

Ooh La La! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgpYKCHXElM

This song plays in the second game when the party meets my most favorite character, Lucia for the first time. The accompanying video for this is from the Director's Cut of Covenant which was only released in Japan.  (For those of you that don't know, Lucia is the brunette in the peach-hued dress dancing in the lead.)

The Fate - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr5mloai1B0

When you are coming up on the end of the second game, Covenant, this beautiful and sad piece will dry hump your ears. It makes me want to cry.

Battle With The Fallen Angel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsDUEPvuVyI

This song plays during my most favorite boss battles in Covenant, those against Astaroth. EPIC.

Dead Fingers Talk - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1EFHMwKdkY

This song is my most favorite battle theme in the entire series of Shadow Hearts. It comes from the third game, Shadow Hearts: From The New World.

Chichen Itza - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJrtPOLYpLs

This marvelous tune plays in Chichen Itza when the party goes there. I love the whole feel of this song. :3

Sabbath Demon Banquet - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k_1GW40ZqY

Perhaps the best piece of music ever made for a video game and the only time you hear it in FTNW is during the "Bad Ending" of the game, where Shania is revealed to have been taken over by the Malice from Lady's kiss.

Lady Tears II - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MRHV_Cf41E

One of the most emotional pieces of music ever made for a video game in my opinion. When the song hits about 2:57 in, it really tugs at my heart. Gorgeous. Epic. Sadness.

Those are just most of my top favorites. Listen to the soundtracks from all three games to drink in the delightful feelings, good and bad, that I feel every time I hear the music.

I leave you with...

Prison - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ynt3e6WdwIU&feature=related

This song plays in Vegas and Alcatraz in FTNW. It's so amazing. It's dark, creepy and fun all at the same time.
