Music - 
Creepy Tone, slow, minor ton - warning that something bad is going to happen. The music is like a type of lullaby it was very childlike, at the beginning of the music it is creepy but later on it is less creepy and just weird. The lyric in the song is a made-up language - made to make it more interesting, creep, can’t understand it. 

Once arrived at the pink palace the music was - Gentle, dramatic, enchanting, happier/sweet, bit more major tone, slow timbre. Change - chasing music, more dramatic, high tension, minor tone, sad, chanting/warning, danger, and innocence.

Creepy
Minor key - warning
Slow/medium timbre
