Zack's music tells a story. So rich and powerful. Such a compelling album.

This is so beautiful and haunting. I LOVE this Motion picture soundtrack to a film that doesn't exist. The names and mood of the music help give a start to it, but otherwise it is up to the listener to create a story and a plot. It's wonderful and beautiful, and better than single songs creating a story. This is wonderful.

In context of his other works this is jarringly short and that much better for it. The short length and sad tones call to mind memories of friends whose lives have been cut short making this a very moving piece of music. Truly beautifully done on Mr. Hemseys part.

It's raining outside and I'm ready to go to bed while listen to this song gets me so emotional..

[RememberTheDead]

The rain stops as the Giantslayer stands there, alone. The Giant lying dead, still, peaceful at long last. The Giantslayer, looking at the vast graveyard of a once mighty people, knows now his job (and the race of the giants) is finally ended and in that moment the sorrow of The Giant hits him. The posthumous Giant's lament, his lonely existence and his sorrow. Loneliness and sorrow which likewise strike the Giantslayer, as he realizes the monumental atrocity he comitted towards that race and what is left of him after such sins. For what is a Giantslayer in a world with no giants? Having lost his purpose, the Giantslayer now realizes the irony that by killing the Giant he has inherited the Giant's burden of carrying on the history of that race, alone. He bids farewell to the people he race his life hunting and to The Giant, his mortal enemy and yet...his equal. He knows their sorrow now. The Giantslayer walks away, lamenting his fate and his burden.

When Zack Hemsey plays music however, there is no lament, only rejoicing.

I came on here within the 40 minute range of him uploading this. I believe Nomad is a great album and i believe he should make more songs like that
