Death God's Bebop (Track #7) - Going Home


One of, if not, the most famous tracks in all of Bleach is Shiro Sagisu's Going Home track. Though short, those 2 minutes will make you recall why Bleach music is memorable, melodic, and above all else - nostalgic. Those Bleach memories from episode 1 to end, I can't recall a track like this that is just considered so soothing. It's one of those tracks you listen to on a rainy day - thinking back on your childhood, reevaluating your outlook on life, and remembering the laughs you shared. It also is a track you listen to when gathering your thoughts, coming to a realization that there's more to life than we know. It can be symbolized as a good or bad atmospheric track, but to me - it's one of those memorable songs that personifies Bleach's tone and theme.

1) When Ichigo holds back his tears upon his mother's death, Ichigo's family reassures him that not crying is weakness and that it isn't the same if Ichigo cried with them - so he join his family in mourning their mother's death in remembrance to her.

2) When Ichigo and Rukia part after Rukia decides to stay in the Soul Society after Aizen's defection

3) When Ichigo burst into tears and rage when Grand Fisher got away and Rukia had to hold Ichigo back (I think it was played during this)

4) Aizen and Hinamori embracing just before Aizen impales her

So as you can see, this song's been played to fit the tone, mood, and atmosphere of a moment - like watching nostalgia before you. It's one of my favorite tracks of Bleach (I'll make a list soon) - the calmness of it is all too damn high! (LOL). The acoustics in this song are just phenomenal - so many people on Youtube covering this beautiful track. To me, it's a track that sets the mood and tone of a scenario - always the right timing (well maybe Aizen impaling Hinamori is over the top). Hope you enjoyed this track and until then, you stay classy.
