My friend Dave made a cassette tape for me that ended with this incredible, epic song from Mr. Children. What a perfect closer to any compilation! Although he'd already introduced me to the music of Mr. Children on an earlier mix with their peppy single See-Saw Game, it was the "Theme of ES" tune that really caught my ear!A song that starts off silently, with only an acoustic guitar strumming along with the vocals, as slowly, elements enter the song, violin strings, a VERY George Harrison-ish guitar refrain, all building up to a big finish that segues into a gentle ending...
But...what the heck is “ES”, anyway?! Was it some show or something?
