Track description

"Key" is composed of a quiet, distant, sparse melody played on an echoing piano.

The album version of "Key" continues with a single, more heavily echoed note, leading directly to be paired with "Door", a bright remix of "Minecraft" played with multiple instruments.

The in-game version of “Key” simply fades out.

“key” is the song that sort of introduces you to the album, whereas “door” is a little bit of a small medley that welcomes you to the world of Minecraft.
