	My young love said to me, “My mother won't mind, And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind.” Then she stepped away from me and these words she did say: “It will not be long, love, till our wedding day.” She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair, And fondly I watched her go here and go there, Then she went her way homeward with one star awake, As the swan in the evening moves over the lake. The people were saying no two were e'er wed But one had a sorrow that never was said, And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear, And that was the last that I saw of my dear. I dreamt it last night that my young love came in, So softly she entered, her feet made no din; She came close beside me, and this she did say, “It will not be long, love, till our wedding day.”

I always love collaborating with other artists, and She Moved Through the Fair seemed great for a synthesizer drone collaboration with Sentinels of the Arctic.

This whole album is solid VGM gold from start to finish, but the Mario Land track is especially fun and the Chrono Trigger track gives me chills every time. Worth the price for just those alone. indietecher
