“I've crossed these sands many times," said one of the camel drivers one night. "But the desert is so huge, and the horizons so distant, that they make a person feel small, and as if he should remain silent."
The boy understood intuitively what he meant, even without ever having set foot in the desert before. Whenever he saw the sea, or a fire, he fell silent, impressed by their elemental force.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist (one of my favorite books! :))

The Beyond Skyrim composers have done a fascinating job at trying to follow in Soule's footsteps while also tapping into a side of Tamriel not seen in previous entries: a world defeated that is clinging to past pride. It's most notable in perhaps the anthem of Beyond Skyrim which is Daniel Ran's "Of Storms and Half light". Alex and the others do the same kind of work here and it produces a number of wonderful listens. "Heartland" is by far my favorite, the flute in it is chill-invoking.
