This rendition of Moonlight Sonata is like darkness itself.

the anime was a master piece. season 1 ending was really something

[keithunderwood]

So this is how Shadow has been fighting against the Order all along. In places beyond anyone’s eyes, endlessly continuing the fight.
Shadow’s Moonlight Sonata rises back up in Rose’s mind.
She feels that she’s come to understand the single ray of light shining into the deep darkness.
That light is perhaps Shadow himself. He is not the darkness, but the single ray of light standing against the darkness.
So Rose believes.

Imagine you bring an entire piano into a sewer just for an epic opening

[LoliPolice-bfmw]

"In the quiet of the night, a shadow's waltz,
Moonlight Sonata, the Eminence exalts.
Fingers dancing on keys, a silent affair,
A symphony woven in the midnight air.

Moonbeams grace the ivory keys,
In shadows, the Eminence finds his ease.
A nocturnal sonata, a whispered song,
In the soft glow, secrets belong.

Each note a secret, a tale untold,
Moonlight Sonata, in shadows unfolds.
The piano weeps, the keys they sigh,
As the Eminence in Shadow draws nigh.

A melody of mystery, a serenade of the night,
Moonlight Sonata, in the pale moonlight.
The keys confess, in hushed refrain,
The Eminence in Shadow, a silent reign.

A dance of shadows, a pianist's grace,
Moonlight Sonata, in the quiet space.
Echoes of secrets, in each chord's embrace,
The Eminence in Shadow, a phantom's trace.

Moonlight spills its secrets on the keys,
As the Eminence in Shadow plays with ease.
A nocturnal performance, a moonlit affair,
A clandestine sonata, a shadowy lair.

In the moonlit shadows, the piano hums,
Moonlight Sonata, the Eminence strums.
A nocturne of shadows, a melody profound,
In the moonlit stillness, his notes resound.

So, let the moonlight serenade unfold,
In the piano's whispers, secrets hold.
The Eminence in Shadow, with moonlight adorned,
Plays the Sonata, in the night reborn."

-Ludwig von Beethoven

I can imagine him making his own lore....

[kawaii_sora]

"A flickering light revealed itself to me and I was convinced it was something I was looking for and chased it and got isekai'd"

*-Cid probably*

[empathictitan]

As he sits upon his ebony throne, he begins to play...
A masterpiece just for the lonely princess.
His elegance, his beauty, his perfection...
Unmatched in every which way, be it mind or body...
For he is Shadow.
The one who lives in the shadows...
And hunts the shadows.

-Me, i got really into the mood

[MrSuave_]

Shadow: Tell me, lost One. What will you do?
Rose: I just... wanted to protect Oriana.
Rose: I wanted to bring about a better future.
Rose: But I wasn't strong enough...!!
Shadow: Does that mean your fight is over?
Shadow: If you yet possess the will to struggle... I shall give you... POWER...!
Rose: Power...?!
Rose: With that power... will I be able to change the future?!
Shadow: That will be up to you.
...
Rose: I want it... I WANT POWER!!!
Shadow: Very well.
Shadow: Then push on.
Shadow: Prove that you are worthy to fight.
Shadow: Do not forget.
Shadow: Strength is not power itself, but how you wield it.
*Cid strikes a dramatic pose then exits*
...
Rose (inner thoughts):
It's warm.
The chaotic power is being controlled...
This is Shadow's mana...
This is the world Shadow sees!
...
His Moonlight Sonata remains in my head.
A light that pierces through the darkness...
That was not the moon, but Shadow himself.
He is not the Darkness...
But the single strand of light standing up against it.

I listen to this on loop whenever I am reading the light novel. Just like Shadow said, this piece is perfect for him and this series 😌😌😌

[nicholasyusuf]

"It's alone at the top, will anyone see the world I do? Will anyone be able to foresake me? Do I truly deserve the power of a demi-god?"

-Probably Cid

[Goopey.]

I like this piece of music
It makes it so much easier to see the world
...
I've divided the world into two categories:
The things that matter, and the things that don't
...
Because I had a dream that would never come true if I didn't
...
We only have so much time, and so much effort
So I dedicated all of my time and effort to what mattered
And I cut loose from everything else
...
But there is too much static to let us do that.
The static cloud the world, and hides the things that matter
It's so easy for people to lose sight of what's really important
If you ask me, the world is too bright
You see too many things, and that's why you lose track of what matters
That's why I think that the illumination from the moon is just right for our world
It makes everyone look more closely, so they don't lose sight of what matters
We just need to stand in the moonlight, only seeing the things that matter
that's all
And so...
*In this world lit by the moon, what is it that you see?*

—Season 2, Episode 11. Shadow to Rose

[smogalienbreed]

Actions speaks louder than words, and music speaks all over them.

[White]

A melody that echoes through the darkness...
The words that spring like a song from the mouth of the Eminence in Shadow...

[Frog-Shaped-Slime]

Like any true Asian, Eminence learned Moonlight Sonata

[desmondanimus]

You can be cool
But you'll never be as cool as shadow playing moonlight sonata on abandoned church under the moonlight kinda cool
