Two items have greatly impressed me in Haunting Melissa Dark Hearts. First, is the recurring theme we first hear as Melissa Strouge approaches the ?Funeral Home?. My immediate impression/recall was hearing Procol Harum “A Whiter Shade of Pale”. Then, of course, the theme is repeated several more times, including a scene where Melissa approaches the graveyard before going into the church for the funeral scene. Second, and most impressive, is the very faint and most beautiful slide guitar sound as Emma travels down a lonesome country road in her ?1982? Impala — the sound/theme is gorgeous. (I won’t worry about where those mountains came from in the background — I thought this was supposed to be Nebraska, right NE?). I’m sure there are many other sounds that could also be included. In sum, a beautiful and elegant listening experience for Hooked Digital Media listeners. Thank you so very much.
