| ==Overview== | | ==Appearances== |
| ===Before the Fire===
| | The song is heard on the seventh campaign level in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', [[Exodus]]. Parts of Few More Days play in various [[Invasion]] scenarios at the start of a new phase. |
| ''Before the Fire'' (1:29) opens with high strings playing the strings part of ''My Heart Breaks'' on a higher register. Low strings and choir then join in and they play the string melody from the ''[[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]]'' track ''[[In Amber Clad]]'', and slowed down for an ending. The piece plays in the opening cinematic.

|
| ===The Sky's No Limit=== | | ==Trivia== |
| ''The Sky's No Limit'' (1:04) fades in with twinkling effects, followed by tribal percussion accompanied by strings. The percussion rhythm repeats with higher intensity each time, then the piece ends with strings. The twinkling effects are played when [[SPARTAN-B312]] encounters [[Suicide Unggoy]] in [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]].
| | *This is the last song on the first disc of the Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack. |
| | *The song bears some resemblance to [[Skyline]] from the [[Halo 3: ODST Original Soundtrack|Halo 3: ODST Soundtrack]]. |
| | *This is one of the few pieces in the Halo: Reach Soundtrack to use material from previous Halo Soundtracks. The melody of [[In Amber Clad (music)|In Amber Clad]] from the [[Halo 2: Original Soundtrack]] is played and expanded upon at the beginning of the piece. |

| ==Production notes==
| |
| *The name ''Before the Fire'' likely alludes to New Alexandria's pre-[[Glassing|glassed]] state in ''Exodus'' before the following level, ''[[New Alexandria]]'', during which the Covenant glasses the city. The name also bears reference to a particular line stated during the third ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminal]].
| |
| *The name ''The Sky's No Limit'' is a reference to [[Bullfrogs]] and Noble Six using the [[Series 8 jetpack]] to traverse the [[New Alexandria cargo port]].
| |
| *The name ''City Under Siege'' refers to the [[Siege of New Alexandria]].
| |
| *The name ''Apology'' refers to Noble Six notifying Kat of [[Jorge-052]]'s death.
