LMH Mixtape #257: Ending Music 4

The puzzles are solved, the villain is slain, and the credits are about to roll.  You know what that means...it's time for some ending music!  Sometimes triumphant, sometimes melancholic, but always a treat.  A good ending track can take you on a journey remembering everything you experienced throughout the game.  And though the game may be over, the totally bonk jams are just about to begin.  So without further ado, it's time to put the controller down and turn the volume up for Ending Music 4!
