I feel like all of us who are deeply touched by FF music are one family....

Nostalgic. Once I was a kid and traveled the world of Gaia and Terra with Zidane and friends. One of the best FF songs ever made. ❤

i fell in love with this song when i was in middle school seventeen years back, now you made me fell in love again...

I played this arrangement for my older sisters wedding, she marched down the isle to it. Years later played it for a dear friends funeral service. No other song from the series has as much emotional impact as this one in my opinion. You played it better than I ever could, my friend would be smiling at this this. Thank you 🙏

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 the stories never told? Let them ring out loud 'til 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 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 on 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

"Our paths did they cross, though I cannot say just why.. We me, we laugh, we held on fast, and then we say good bye.." That line is sooo deep!

So extremely beautiful

When my son was first born I played this song while I was driving to get everybody food by myself. I've never cried so hard in my life. This song is very moving and had hit the deepest parts of my emotions. 💕✨

I can tell by the way you are playing you’ve played the game! There’s a feeling in the way you are playing it that only a true fan of the music would be able to capture, and you nailed it! ❤💐

The artist is like a beautiful painting, pure and full of life.

Final Fantasy IX's soundtrack is without a doubt in my heart the most beautiful soundtrack Nobuo Uematsu has ever written.

This made me cry tears of joy and nostalgia. Thank you for this, this song doesn’t just remind me of the game but the lessons I learned as a kid from it and the sweet memories of my loved ones. It’s so nice to see how this song has touched many others’ hearts as well❤️

There are so many Final Fantasy songs to choose from. The list is endless. But this song is so hard to listen to, especially the lyrics resonate with me so much. I met my wife 14yrs ago in a Final Fantasy 12 forum. We shared our love for Final Fantasy games and music. When she passed away Jan 2022, this song "Melodies of Life" describes so perfectly the love I have for her. May she go to the sky beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond. (My dearest love). I know you've put the piece out for 6yrs, but I come to listen often to this song and shed my tears all over again.

these songs bring back so much nostalgia it makes my 30 year old ass cry. especially seeing them performed. amazing job.

I cried. Beautifully played.

this song always brings an instant smile to my face. Such wonderful memories. Thanks for the great video.

Amazing quality, production and talent on display!

15 years have pass since I´ve played this game and It still gives me the chills. You earn a new suscriber

I keep coming back and listening to your performances of the Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger music. I think we can all agree that the emotions/memories behind it are deep and meaningful. Thank you for posting these for all of us to enjoy. I appreciate what you do and truly enjoy your musicianship. I hope I can see a live performance sometime.

I absoulutely love this song, but even more so, your arrangement of it. Uematsu would be proud :)

Why do i get teary eyed when listening to this song. It’s like having the flashback of all good memories I had when I was a kid.

Nailed it. Such natural playing, not forced at all in any way, such a pleasure to listen. Thank you.

It's more than a decade since the last time i heard this song. Thank you for this beautiful melody, it's truly "Melody of life". 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 bird - forever and on.

Beautiful! The music and Kara 😍

Fantastic. It makes me happy to see people appreciate FFIX and its touching soundtrack this much. Puts a smile on my face.

so beautiful and deep. thank you very much, this song means a lot to me. thanks 😊

Extremely well played! Congrats! 👏👏👏

I am gonna cry right now, it's so beautiful...

What a perfect composition... the pacing and pausing. The pressure on every key is just right... Not to mention the motion of your body pushing in to the keys. You can tell you *really* love this song for what it is. That you loved this game. That it all meant something to you. All through music. Heck yeah. You nailed this one.

This might be my new fave from you. It's 7 am, waking up and got this on. Perfect!

I love to watch your FF covers. Such emotion from your playing.

Beautiful. This was one of my brother's favorite songs from his favorite game. Thanks.

I just discovered your channel, and it is wonderful to find someone who appreciates FFIX as much as you do.

I have not played this game, but you can never go wrong with the genius of Nobuo Uematsu. I can sense an immense amount of beauty coming from this composition and its even further enhanced by your talent on those notes. Thank you.

Great performance. Final Fantasy 9 is my favorite and 1st in the series.

This is terrific. This is the second song I didn't like from a final fantasy game that you took and made into a beautiful piece. I just discovered your channel, and have been listening to it nonstop for hours! Thank you!

I am honestly awestruck by this channel, you are an incredible musician. I wish you all the success in the world, you deserve it.

it brings back memories...those good old days of amazing JRPG period....

ive watched quite a few of your performances over the last hour and i believe everyone has drawn at least a few gasps and tears, so thank you for your evocative, heart felt, and soulful playing. your heart is clearly in every note.

Beautiful.... Oh..... Thank you so much for this.

this is one of my favourite pieces of music of all time, and you played it so beautifully, thankyou!

So beautiful thank you for doing these videos

You look so graceful while playling, it's a real pleasure to see you as to hear you playing.

My favorite game. This was so beautiful and nostalgic. Im just over here bawling my eyes out while listening lol. Thank you for this.

What a soulful, moving piece! I am speechless!

Probably my favourite of your videos :) I love this theme and this game so much!

Me parece increíble que grandes melodías de sagas tan importantes como son Final Fantasy se toquen con semejante calidad!!! música a valorar y sobre todo la tremenda habilidad con el piano!!

I can listen to this one on repeat, your so talanted, so passionate. ❤️

In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me? The slightly childlike rhythm of this music hides a certain depth. You magnify this in your cover, I'm thankful to be able to listen to this again.

Love this song,I feel so happy.
