Yodragon | Nostalgia (With Lyrics) - Music from Asterigos: Curse of the Stars @YodragonWasTaken | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
I actually had a hard time trying to find the lyrics for this song at first. It turns out that they can only be found in the English subtitles of this specific video (and not the other reuploads of this same video for some reason): youtu.be/mmZ50sITz5s
There's also a couple other songs from this game that seem to have lyrics in them, but I sadly can't find them anywhere either. Ah well, at least we got this one down pat.
By the way, I was first introduced to Weifan Chang's music with his incredible credits music from Detention. I love the piano and violin in that one, and his soundtrack for Asterigos has captivated me in much the same way. I especially like his emphasis on vocals this time around.
(and yes I misspelled his name in the video, I'm so sorry... ~_~)
0:00 - Nostalgia (feat. Emi Evans)
5:02 - Nostalgia (feat. Percival)
9:10 - Nostalgia (feat. Malukah)
The lyrics slightly differ between some of the versions. The Percival version follows the original lyrics as they are written pretty closely, but Emi Evans and Malukah have some slight changes which tweaks the grammar a little. I actually do like their versions better since they sound a bit more natural.
The parts that changed were:
"And I dreamed I’ll be with you again" vs "And I dreamt I’d be with you again"
"When the wind blows, I feel the cradle rocks" vs "When the wind blows, I feel the cradle rock"
Original lyrics:
I heard some cries from the northland
I saw you flowing in the twilight
I thought Gods had their plans for the world suffering from pain
And I dreamed I’ll be with you again
Now and then
Upon the quiet plains
Look, I’m stolen
Shoot the breeze, in vain
Nostalgia, my mania
Somewhere in my heart, the memory is lost
When the wind blows, I feel the cradle rocks
Nostalgia, my mania
Someone from the past will light up the dark
When the wind blows, I see a broken star
Now and then
Upon the quiet plains
Look, I’m stolen
Shoot the breeze, in vain
Nostalgia, my mania
Somewhere in my heart, the memory is lost
When the wind blows, I feel the cradle rocks
Nostalgia, my mania
Someone from the past will light up the dark
When the wind blows, I see the polar star
Slightly tweaked lyrics:
I heard some cries from the northland
I saw you flowing in the twilight
I thought Gods had their plans for the world suffering from pain
And I dreamt I’d be with you again
Now and then
Upon the quiet plains
Look, I’m stolen
Shoot the breeze, in vain
Nostalgia, my mania
Somewhere in my heart, the memory is lost
When the wind blows, I feel the cradle rock
Nostalgia, my mania
Someone from the past will light up the dark
When the wind blows, I see a broken star
Now and then
Upon the quiet plains
Look, I’m stolen
Shoot the breeze, in vain
Nostalgia, my mania
Somewhere in my heart, the memory is lost
When the wind blows, I feel the cradle rock
Nostalgia, my mania
Someone from the past will light up the dark
When the wind blows, I see the polar star
