    As a kid you feel bad for Zalost. As an adult, you sympathize with his sorrow

    At 70yrs old, I had a bad dream about this episode and resultant theme music. Searched and found finally. Thank you so much. The composers here deserve an award, not that I’m attempting to recreate a nightmare, but the way the synthesizer and music comes together is truly haunting. Yikes.

    When I was a kid, this episode literally made me cry...especially the part with the baby rat crying....
    Now..as an adult...sometimes...I feel like Zalost...maybe it's bad that i feel this way...or maybe this is just life...sometimes it sucks...but you have to find those small moments of joy...like the "happy plums"

    My God... memories come up from 18 years ago...
    I was 6.
    I cried about this episode. I felt so sorry for Dr. Zalost. I felt his pain and his will for revange.
    And now... I'm depressed. Suicidal. Broken. I've became like Zalost.

    You did a fantastic job mixing the segment at the end of the episode. It's definitely my favorite part of the theme and it tops the episode with such a nice bow.
    The whole song was so lovingly crafted to suit all of the bits of the episode.
    It's absolutely criminal that Courage was not allowed to release a soundtrack. Maybe someday.
    Great work!

    Dr. Zalost vehicle does carry depression within itself. The tred of its tires are like the tank that are set for war where death encamps its self around all men who dare dread to find themselves in the wake of their demise. The spider like legs reminds me of not only how depression may sneak up upon people over time but how it entangles people into an endless abyss driving them into madness. While the body of his vehicle is a tower. Symbolizes a time long since pass when royalty had meaning and merit where knights have chivalry and ladys were treated like princesses. Your wages were equal to your sense of adventure and that we no longer live in those times so nostalgia haunts us reminding us of our upbringing. The rose tinted glasses that blinds us of the truth of the cruel world we live in. A time of lost joy, the deception we bind ourselves in and our desperations of what damage we will do to fight tooth and nail for even in the trenches. The creators of this show really did their homework or had some understanding when creating Dr. Zalost vehicle.

    As I sit here listening to this song I had a vision as I am daydreaming. It brought me to tears. The music with the sound effects broke my heart. In the vision I was a prisoner of war. I look to my right and I see miners using pickaxes on these rocks and a machine picking up and disposing dead bodies and when I turn to my left I can see metal stones falling and finally as I stare directly in front of me I saw a guillotine and behind it the sky was painted blood red. The shine of the blade blinded me. I fell to my knees and my head planted underneath the blade. Despite my blindness I saw a baby crying. It was new life. Still fresh to the world. As I saw this a tear spilt from eyes and all I can do is smile that where I may go my hope surpasses my death. Eternal life with my Creator.
