The chilling reverb is symbolic of the dead and forgotten wasteland of Ultima Thule while the finished song represents the everlasting resurrection of the zone through the dynamis of the scions. Asking for this to be fixed is like asking for the Doman Enclave to visually revert to its original pre-developed state because you personally preferred the rundown houses for some reason. It is OK for our actions to have permanent, visible and in this case audible reflections on the game's environments.
Ok, but... where/when is it stated that we've actually brought anything back to life? Having just completed that bit of MSQ, I still sorta treat the whole zone/inhabitants as echoes of the dead. I get that, thematically, at least with Meteion, that's essentially the outcome, but the zone remains a recreation, not so much a new chance at life.

I don't think anyone would deny that a thematic change doesn't take place. Hell, we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion if the song were simply an instrumental in a major key, or otherwise more "uplifting." Just, the swelling vocals, on loop, is kinda a bad song decision, long term. Background music is meant to be that: background. Fills the ambiance. As is, it just slams to the forefront to be as distracting as possible.
