Mushishi is a Magnum Opus to many (including me), a mature and episodic anime of beautiful folk-like tales, about human compassion and acknowledgment, emitting the right message about Nature and her purest life forms. An ethereal and alleviating soundtrack carries us, transporting us into this fragile and luminous world.
Lowering the curtain with some of the most epic Toshio Masuda’s melodies, Mushishi has this peculiar curiosity of having two opening themes performed by two singers from the United Kingdom.

Shiver immediately hooked me, got me to watch the entire show as well as get Lucy Rose's discography. I can't remember the other song at all tbh and neither video you posted works.

For anyone that likes Shiver and also likes electronic music you should check out the remix by PRAJ, it's awesome.

Been a great fan of Lucy Rose since this opening. Both are so comfy and bring back some good old memories, but Shiver is a step above.

As a song to listen to every day, I prefer Shiver, but if we're talking about the song that makes the greatest connection with the work, it's The Sore Feet Song.
I love both songs but in terms of atmosphere the first opening achieves it by far.
Watching the anime, I prefer the first opening.

Sore Feet Song because the melody sounds more memorable.

I'll be honest, I don't think either of these songs are that great. But good on them for trying something different than your typical anime OP
