    I am a Native American. Coahuiltecan to be specific. I have been an ambassador between my nation and the Diné (Navajo People) nation for years now. I have sat up in ceremonies from the border of Mexico to the mountains of New Mexico. I have seen the stars on a crisp mountain night, and heard coyotes in the distance in the Mexico desert.
    I have lived this life of passion and pride for years, and have yet to find a really good song that fits that passion, but Mick, you nailed it.
    I am very sorrowful to hear what happened to you with the Doom team, but let it be known, you are an *amazing* artist and never forget that.
    You do all nations proud sir.
    Blessings to you.

So often we run through rain and avoid it that simply accepting it is a unique experience you don't often get a chance to have. You also get to see your surroundings in a different way, if that's the sort of thing you enjoy. It's not that bad, and there's no real risk of something like pneumonia unless you stay out FAR too long or don't properly dry off afterwards.

      are those specific pipes just incapable of hitting the pitches required to accurately get the KI theme out, hence why it's hard to pick out? i think i can hear what you mean. i can kinda hear it when i hum the KI theme and compare it to what i hear, so it could be that those pipes aren't built to hit those specific pitches for one reason or another, either intentionally or by accident

      You want to share the spirit of music with them, and you want to connect your essence to them.
      This song calls to your spirit, you can feel the power of it, it's a powerful emotion, isn't it?
      fight to keep it, this sort of sensitivity is found in natural born virtuosos, perhaps you should look at picking up an instrument?

    Normally, I don't like Native characters in games since they always are treated like stereotypes but that happens in any fighting game. Nightwolf never synced with me and T. Hawk makes me gag.
    But you went beyond just making a generic track. I just wondered what kind of experience it was when you recorded this.

    Thunder is a pretty cool character. I just read the novella, and the way it depicted him was epic.
    Mira, one of the antagonists of the game, compared him in physique and presence to a mountain. So she summoned a swarm of Wendigos to distract him, but he just glared and said “I do not fear the flesh eaters.” Then he started carving his way through them.

    I'm 18 years old, an aspiring actor and music producer and as a kid; SF2 and KI were the two foremost games I grew up with and I'd go on training mode just to listen to the soundtracks which I fell in love with and even to this day I still rock them tunes out on my phone, practicing them on piano to when I'll eventually mix them. Just want to say, you literally are the best Mick Gordon and your work has been incredible and inspiring especially when you're involved with so many genres! When I first heard this song originally, I tried everything just focus past the gameplay and commentary and literally cried at the song because it reminds of all the Native music I grew up with such as Tatanka or Sacred Spirit. I and many others are very grateful to the work you've produced. To most it's just music, but to us it represents nostalgia, euphoria and a pleasing experience to the ears. Also your soundcloud is where it started for me, thanks a lot Mr. Gordon! And apologies for the long paragraph, it's just to nice to write out feelings once in a while.
