We're also a fan of:
Summer (Tropicala): This song is so much fun to listen to; it evokes the feeling of wanting to jump out of bed and into another exciting day; the chords halfway through are doubly a delight and add to the feel greatly;
The Adventure Guild: There are lots of tracks that have a sort of banjo-country feel, and The Adventure Guild is our favorite of them;
Fall (The Smell of Mushroom): With tones that trickle away and the sound of howling wind, this song perfectly evokes the feeling of leaves falling, dryly, from their trees;
Fall (Ghost Synth): We love things that blend organic and synthetic, and the use of fresh banjo along with bassy dub synth is well-composed;
Fall (Raven's Descent): Another track that beautifully evokes the season it represents, the piano tones in decrescendo evoke autumn perfectly;
Winter (Nocturne of Ice): From opening onwards, the use of xylophone sounds(!) cold, and the low-pass/high-reverb middle portion evokes the feeling of being inside a wall of ice; the warmth of the strings in the latter half feel like coming in from the cold;
Winter (Ancient): Less like the muted sound of falling snow and more like the sound of sun glinting off of a frozen pond, ConcernedApe's reflection of multiple aspects of the same season is well-pronounced;
A Golden Star is Born: We actually stopped in the middle of our tracks as we were about to leave the Community Center just to listen to the exceptional progression of permeating warmth;
Land of Green and Gold (Leah's Theme): The latter half sounds like synthesized choir, to great effect;
Mines (Crystal Bells): The easy, carefree feeling of this song pairs well to the relaxed atmosphere on the early caves, wet with plant growth and gloaming;
Mines (The Lava Dwellers): This is one of our Top Three (3) favorite songs on the Stardew Valley OST; there is the sound of baking sun, and then there is the sound of sweltering geothermal heat, coming from the floor and the walls themselves; ConcernedApe evokes this feeling perfectly;
Mines (Danger!): The use of pan pipes evokes that feeling of geothermal heat, and the high reverb adds to the sensation of being in a large, cavernous space;
Load Game: This song is actually quite peaceful;
Honorable Mentions:
Fun Festival: Exactly what it says on the tin;
A Glimpse of the Other World: Very atmospheric; sounds magical;
Summer (The Sun Can Bend an Orange Sky): This track sounds(!) hot;
Spirit's Eve Festival: Spooky!
Pickle Jar Rag (Haley's Theme): Made us smile;
Frozen Pizza and Eggs (Shane's Theme): Surprisingly warm and heart-felt;
Emily's Dance: Would actually be a pretty difficult song to dance to, with lots of room for articulation;
Sam's Band (Heavy Version): Legit!;
Mines (Star Lumpy): The transition halfway through, and the xylophone from the previous half that fades back in;
Mines (Marimba of Frozen Bones): The hollowness of the marimba really does sound like bones;
In the Deep Woods: Magical;
