Title: A Beautiful Song
Game: NieR:Automata
Composers: Keigo Hoashi, Keiichi Okabe, lyrics by Emi Evans
Arranger: Sami Louguit
Featuring: Jacqueline Pezzicola (Choir Alto), Nina St. Hillaire (Choir Alto)

“A Beautiful Song” is the theme of the machine lifeform Simone, whose unrequited love causes her to go berserk, killing scores of androids in pursuit of beauty and affection. All of the vocal music in NieR soundtracks feature lyrics in a “Chaos” language developed by Emi Evans, meant to represent what the merging of languages might sound like in thousands of years. The majority of the lyrics in “A Beautiful Song” contain elements of English, Italian, German, Latin, and French. This arrangement also features an acapella introduction of the heart-wrenching track, “Mourning.”
