Song of the Day Three, Pandora's Theme

I must admit, I expected something a bit more... dark for the theme of anything named Pandora. I believe the image I conjured was of a terrified young woman, dark hair whipping madly about her as she holds out a box from which darkness oozes and all evils fly from. The box is a perfect cube with ancient runes of binding a protection inscribed on all sides, and a lid formed of four triangles that are hinged on the edge. However, McVaffe apparently never heard of this myth, because Pandora's Theme seems to me to be a theme for a peaceful town. A town that, though not home, gives a sense of peace to our yet undefined hero. I mean, really, one might as well stick the name on any ridiculous thing now. Say, for example, a radio station. Wait; they did.

Your right, it does fit a town well, but also a person. Again you are spot on that this person does not in the least bit seem mad or evil, but rather a friendly helpful person living in a peaceful village. Good piano stuff.

I wish to add that it could be a good plot twist if Pandora ended up immolated by the cruel whims of the Elder Gods with which our hero must battle.

Yeah, that would be cool, The Village in Ashes perhaps?
