Artist commentary for Once Upon a Time:

Toby Fox: (collector's edition sheet music booklet)

This song was created as an homage to the title music to MOTHER, eventually released in the US as EarthBound Beginnings. What inspired me most is how emotional and nostalgic it felt, even with just a few long notes and a simple bassline. I wanted to replicate that. You don't need to write something complicated to express a deep feeling. When something is simple, it's easy to capture your pure expression. And so I think this is a sincere song.
