I'm crying right nowwww the nostalgia is real! I grew up listening to the english version and I super love it! T_T THANK YOU ALL FOR WATCHING!

When I was 13, there was a girl in my class who had recently transferred from a different school. She was usually quiet and only spoke when other students and teachers talked to her. She made 2 friends in a class full of 24 kids. I was one of the two. She was nice to me and we liked talking about the same things. We started getting along easily and we gotten close, it reached to a point where we even invaded each other’s houses uninvited just because we were bored. Our moms knew how close we were so they usually didn’t mind the constant home invasions as long as homework was revised. and I could never count to you the number of times we ditched the nannies. We played a lot of video games, it was the first time I showed her my favorite, we used to play this game for hours and it ended up being one of her favorites as well. I even told her about the guy I was secretly dating at the time. he was a 9th grade student, we were 7th or 8th I believe. She was literally shocked when I told her who it was because it all added up to her when we used to hangout with him during breaks lol. We even agreed how his personality was just so similar to the game’s protagonist and how my relationship with him matched his and the princess’s relationship. It’s one of the reasons why I still have this huge crush on the protagonist. I love this game to bits and it sometimes reminds me of my memories with her. Her favorite character was a certain one in the game that she used to constantly tell me how she just related to him so much. And how much she adored him as a character. I adored him too, he’s basically the most popular in the game. But I didn’t understand how his story was told. I was only 13 at the time. and I didn’t quite fully grasped the idea of anything, let alone the story of this game. One day, when we finished school. Her driver was supposed to pick us up but he was late, she suggested we walk home because her house was close. I kept telling her I didn’t want to and I wanted one of the drivers to come and take us. Either mine or hers. She kept convincing me but I was hesitant. I agreed later on because I didn’t want her to think too much or ask. Before we crossed the street, my body started to tremble, I was shaking, my body began to sweat and I was very scared. She looked very concerned, she held me by the shoulders and saw how I was just shaking so much. I even nearly I cried. It was as if I felt so cold. I had an irrational fear of crossing streets. I don’t know why but it used to terrify me. She paused a little, calmly looked left and right, held my hand very strongly and firmly, took all the books from me that I was carrying so she could carry them herself, and walked slowly alongside me. There were a few cars anyway but my fear didn’t stop me from moving as my legs gradually went faster as we continued crossing, all she did was do the same thing and follow my pace. Crossing that street was one of the days I could never forget when I was with her. I made a friend for life, I was happy I had someone who would understand me as much as I understood them. In a duration of 7 to 8 months, I started to see her less and less frequently. She was absent a lot of the time. I didn’t quite understand what exactly was going on, she didn’t answer my calls, her mom would just say she was busy with family every time I called, this applied to every other friend she had. One weekend, my mom woke me up and told me to go with her for a visit, the electronic doors had opened, we walked to the elevator, she pressed the 3rd floor button, and we waited until we reached the floor. When the doors opened, I saw her mother crying, the moment was followed by a big, coming hug from my own mother. As I went out of the elevator, I saw her brother, his eyes was pinkish due to constant tears, and he asked me to follow him. He took me to the room, and just I saw her there, laying in bed. Eyes closed, mouth blue and dry, I sat on the chair next to her bed. I paused for a little while I constantly looked at her. my bag was on my lap, I was holding on to it so strong, I was squeezing it very hard and I didn’t even realize it at the moment. I opened my mouth and said “Lara, wake up.” “Lara… wake up. Wake up, wake up.” I kept on saying it, I couldn’t stop myself. I continued “wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!!!! Wake up!!!!” It was that moment I realized my hand was on her body, I had this desperate need to wake her up, I started crying, and crying and crying and her brother was just watching in tears. I was shouting. All of a sudden, I felt this embrace from behind me, it was my mother hugging me. It’s at that moment I weeped even harder. I knew I’m never gonna see her again, I knew my time with her will never relive its moments, but I knew that I will never forget her or forget this game, I knew why she loved that character so much and why she related to him. and I knew that our memories will always be part of the sky. I miss her, even after 18 years I suddenly missed her more, maybe it’s because I replayed the game after many years. When you’re an adult, you know the subtle hints that kids don’t know when you play a game or watch a movie or a show or whatever. This is why I just feel so bad. Thank you for this amazing cover, your voice gives me a lot of memories and I cried so much. FFIX is my all time favorite video game, let alone FF. So thank you for sharing!

I saw Final Fantasy IX, I clicked! "They won't even see me coming" - Zidane

2024!!!! AND STILL ALWAYS CRYING...NOSTALGIC

Zidane and Garnet love story is better than 100% of Kdrama. FIGHT ME! Thank you for covering this sachi thank you for the good memories when i was young.

Wow, this is like the most perfect cover of Melodies of Life I've ever heard! ❤ Your voice is perfect for Garnet, and you stay faithful to the original! And this comes from the biggest FF9 fan ever , so you can be proud ! 😉 Nothing to do with FF9, but your gorgeous hime-cut makes me think you'd make a PERFECT cosplay of Shoka from Neo TWEWY ! If you ever cover one song of this amazing game, you should totally cosplay as Shoka!

I've played Final Fantasy over and over and never got bored of it, i am now 34yrs old, you just made this middle aged man cry... It breaks my heart that noone in this current age can make a great game like final fantasy, remake or remastered are not even close to the original game

Lyrics: Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart To weave by picking up the pieces that remain Melodies of life--love's lost refrain Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told? Let them ring out loud till they unfold In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name [Chorus:] A voice from the past, joining yours and mine Adding up the layers of harmony And so it goes, on and on Melodies of life, To the sky beyond the flying birds--forever and beyond So far and away, see the birds as it flies by Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me? Was it fate that brought us close and now leave me behind? [Chorus:] A voice from the past, joining yours and mine Adding up the layers of harmony And so it goes, on and on Melodies of life, To the sky beyond the flying birds--forever and beyond If I should leave this lonely world behind Your voice will still remember our melody Now I know we'll carry on Melodies of life Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts As long as we remember

I was looking for a song to cry. Found it.

I'm not crying, you're crying. 😭 Your voice is perfect for Dagger, and this song. Soft and sweet but still strong. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely voice.

Dank it, Im literally crying right now. This song has many memories from my past... It remind me how I struggle living my broken home lifes.

Bringing back old memories of Final Fantasy IX on PS 1 when was a child. I think its not just Zidane & Garnet, but through all chars and stories of ff 9 makes the melodies of life. Thanks sachi :)
