Sky Burial (鳥葬 Chōsō) is a song from Shadow of the Colossus and track 22 of the Roar of the Earth soundtrack. It was composed for the game by Kō Ōtani.
Uses
1.

Exclusive to the PAL, PS3 and PS4 releases, its only usage is in the kite cutscenes, which only happen after the game is completed at least once. If Wander has saved in one of the shrines and the game is left in the main menu for some time without player input, the scene will play. In the original NTSC release the song named "The Farthest Land" plays instead.
Trivia
- The name "Sky Burial" refers to a funeral ritual in which the body of the deceased is exposed to be eaten by birds.
- This song was exclusive to the european (PAL) release, not being played in the american (NTSC) release or in earlier public builds, being almost unused.
