This is off the mark for me. I like the song (seriously, Bossa is one of my favorite styles of music), but don't think it suggests any contemplative feelings that I think this category should embody.
There's going to be a random hour or so delay in the middle of this, so don't be surprised! It's a walrus after all! Be excited that tbob is making money doing cool ****!
To me, it sounds a little too final. There isn't really any agitation. Being the final movement of this piece you would expect it to be resolving the themes from earlier in the piece, which it does. It's moving and inspiring, but does not quite hit the feelings a good song in this category should hit.

Many of my philosophical explorations end with you just got to laugh at a lot of things (as opposed to fretting or taking things you really have no control over too seriously).
This song does seem to have a rebellious feel to it that I like for the category, still. I sense a strong feeling of unwillingness to relent when listening to this song. I don't know if the submitter felt the same or what, but I'm thinking they may have gotten lucky with a song that probably does better than it should in this category.
For a solo piano piece based off a video game, I was very surprised and glad that I enjoyed this as much as I did. Would have definitely preffered a number of classical piano pieces over this, but it is still enjoyable for me and a good entry for this category.
I began thinking this was too upbeat. For me it mellows out quickly to a feeling of melancholy anticipation. The lyrics compliment that feeling. It plants the idea that the journey is and always has been possible.
I take the approach of zoning out letting this song kind of flow through me. It is something of a catharsis. It leads to you to a battle with the pain and immediacy of decisions on trail. It doesn't make me feel better, but let's me know that feeling scared and uneasy and confused is ok.
Home run. I can't really explain how well this song works for the category. The lyrics are great, the beat fits the mood I was wanting to be portrayed. It has the serious feel that I was looking for. It's oddly encouraging, unsettling. Simple and effective, great song.
