Eighth represents the height of my hope for Destiny. It was the first music we heard from the game, and I used it as my wake-up alarm for many months. I adore it. The bells like chimes in the breeze on a summer night, evoking stars blinking; the vocals angelic, ethereal, drawing us up into the heavens. It epitomized for me the otherworldly beauty I'd already seen in my glimpses of Destiny.

I stopped using it as an alarm after Marty got fired, because it was a bummer to get depressed the moment you wake up. Still, hearing it every time I launched Destiny renewed some of my old excitement for the game, and I'll miss it greatly.

The new theme just doesn't strike me as that great or timeless. It's decent soundtrack music, but I can't even imagine enjoying listening to it as music the way I have so with so much of Bungie's past soundtracks. I love Disciple's idea to bring back the original music once we kill the new big scary dude. Make Destiny an inviting place again.
