That's probably because everything about it is huge--the intensity, the atmosphere, the emotion... In particular, this tune gives major vibes in the realm of 'epic hero reaches the final climax of his story--and the stakes couldn't be more dire!' As a result, we feel that this song would make for ...

Breaking Waves: Pantheon 2022, vol. 3. [Post-Pantheon Ponderings]
