Melodies Of Life (OST Final Fantasy IX) | AMV - Emiko Shiratori 

Played the first time 20 years ago and re-played 20 years after. I'm 39 now but same goosebumps and same tears on this beautiful song.

i feel so old... time flies so fast, this game taught me so much about life. Never Forget

Eyes on Me and Melodies of Life, two classy tunes.

FF9 in my opinion is easily one of the best Final Fantasy games. VII is great and so glad about the remake but I think IX is better. It always cheers me up and I just love everything about the game. I swear if they announce a remake, I would cry.

Please agree with me that this is the most underrated final fantasy game EVER!!!!

This really touched my heart. Beautifully performed.

It was when I turned 14 - playing this game with my friends, laughing and (almost) crying, hearing this song, reading Vivi's last words... This game gave me a feeling of departure - you know - the moment you feel like searching for the meaning of life, the time when you find yourself too eager and all ready for a long journey to find true friends, true love and change the world... Now I'm about to reach my 30, time has surely gone by so fast. Looking back on how far I've gone, I must accept that everything about life has never been as good as I expected. The reality is always cruel, I guess. This game and its messages, the feelings, the memories... are they just fantasies after all? No matter what, I never regret dreaming of and spending my teenage years for such an idealism.

FFIX is a classic masterpiece in the Final Fantasy verse; Story-telling at it's finest. This game left no void, no stones unturned, it was perfect.

Still listening to this in 2020. This music will never get old.

This song is one of my favorite from Final Fantasy's musics. It's so poetic, beautiful, it tells us to still believe in fantasy and in what is wonderful, even if life is a struggle. If you have good friends, faith, love and courage, you can go on, and succeed!

VII VIII and IX all hold a special place in my heart. I maintain the musical scores for them are some of Uematsu's best work of his career.

\the ending of ff9, always tears me up. EVERY. TIME.

to make it simple, Final Fantasy is actually an anthology of different stories which shares a common theme: spiritual, friendship, love, battle against evil.

"The only certain thing about the future is uncertainty" This quote left me speechless for quite a while back then....

One of few games that made me cry uncontrollably.. Man I miss those times. Final Fantasy 7-10 will always have a special place in my heart.

FF9 HANDS DOWN IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE AND HAD THE BEST INTRO

This actually made me cry. Congratulations, that is not an easy task. I absolutely LOVED FFIX, and I'm sad that so few people ever played it. The story between Zidane and Garnet is great, and this song is easily one of the best, if not THE best vocal song from any final fantasy.

listening in 2021! who is with me? FF9 will always have a special place in my heart. My First FF game.

3 MILLION VIEWS!!!! Thank you everyone so much for watching! ❤️❤️❤️

I fuckin cried the first time I heard this song when I was 13. Now i'm 30 and still cry 'cause of the beauty of this song.

This videogame same as this song are beautifuls. There's not such videogame can brought so much nostalgic and even memories of our own lifes, happys moments and even painfuls moments, you can feel yourself connected by the game and song itselfs. Characters, fantasy, good story and childhood are just here and no other game is going to replace it. Good job Hironobu, good job.

[Verse 1:] 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 [Verse 2:] 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 [Pre-Chorus:] 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 [Verse 3:] So far and away, see the bird 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 [Pre-Chorus:] In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me? Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves 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 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

2006? And till now I find this? This is incredible! My fav ff!!! Underrated FF, best ending, best characters. Best Growth! Best boi Vivi. Zidane the most selfless person! I love all of this!

Not only is it beautifully written and beautifully sing, but keep in mind the singer here is Japanese, and, save for a couple vowels, it's almost impossible to tell. Serious props to her, to be able to sing in a foreign language with such a good accent!

What's great about this series was that they really touched on every character's stories well. They all had a meaning

I'm so pleased to see other people loving FFIX... It makes me feel like we are all brothers... Melodies of Life... A perfect ending with a perfect song for the only perfect game. :)

白鳥英美子さん、映画ドラえもんの EDも歌ってましたね、素敵な歌声です、

わたしの中では永遠に稀代の名曲

The ending of this game always makes me cry. I can't explain how much I love FF9 as a videogame and as a experience. It just changed me forever. My favorite of all time.

Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, and 10 were the death of real games. They were so good that gaming companies, Squaresoft included, realized, they would never make anything more beautiful. I played these games so long ago I barely remember them. Yet seeing this video, I am reminded that I was granted the joys of feelings far more beautiful than anything in life has ever granted me since. A mixture of joy and pain that sends vibrational frequencies so intense through my body that, as I sit in a room at 40 degrees, I sweat. Tears flow uncontrollably. Somehow, someway, these emotions must be passed on to those who were not blessed enough to experience these feelings. Feelings that simply transcend the boundaries of reality. Feelings that expand the meaning of beauty. Feelings that could never be described to their fullest with the mere limitation of words, or, even actions for that matter. It is simply not possible with our limited minds to possibly express these kinds of feelings from one person to another through any form. I have to wonder if the people who created these stories, visuals, and music, knew what they were doing. Is it even possible to intentionally create something this beautiful? Did they just create at whim? Why did they stop? If they had a true grasp of what they were capable of, why did they not finish? They could have touched every corner of reality, not just here. They could have changed the world. Brought true peace and virtue to every soul on this planet. They could have applied their technique to every facet of life. It would have changed everything.

Hironobu Sakaguchi favorite Final Fantasy. Im not surprise.

it makes me so sad that game like this didnt exist thesedays, i hope square will look back on this n find again their real purpose of fantasy, of a story that warm, unique, fun, imaginative n meaningful. please square, i want to play game like this again one more time before i die

Jewel and crown, gorgeous accessories and dresses, glittering treasures, selfishness and arrogance, these things are nothing in front of love. Love never fails, love will bring mankind to the next level of civilization, love always bring happiness. Life will never be complete without love.

英語版もいいではないか。白鳥さん最高！！

I play this game 16 years ago, and i fell so old right now,.. FF 7,8,9,10, Have best romantic stories and never bored when play it..

VII VIII and IX those three hold special places in my heart. I maintain that they have some of nobuo uematsu's best musical scores of his career.

It's almost 2020 and Im still cryin when I hear this song.

I played this when i was 20. Brings back memories.

FF IX is truly a master piece! the story, the character, the OST and everything else have a very special place in my heart.

this is by far the most rememberable song in the entire franchise...brings tears every time and not sad ones like many of the other ones...crying while smiling is the theme of this one

This video was uploaded 10 years ago ... I don't know why .. but it makes me so sad :( :(

this song is so beautiful! One of my best childhood memories was playing this game, ff 8 and Vagrant Story.

I bought a DVD all about FF MV when I was 8 years old. I did not have access freely about video game like kids today The DVD has those MV about FF VIII, IX, X. This clip was one of them Whoever created those MV, I want to say thank you. You made my childhood special

Searching for this song after hearing it on wedding video's of my mutual in IG, and I'm crying a lot (again) when I listen to this.

i still cry whenever i hear this song and video (32 years old dude)

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 can not say just why we met, we laugh, 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 the 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 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 my dearest memories do you remember loving me? was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind? 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 love this song, it brings me a smile and tears every time I hear it. Final Fantasy IX is the first one I ever beat, and this masterpiece of a game will always hold a special place in my heart.

I think ff 9 is the most 'final fantasy' in the whole ff series,the story,the characters,the plots,the world,it is deep but also light hearted and not too depressing And tbh,i miss simple turn based battle system haha

'How did you survive...?' "I didn't have a choice. I had to live. I wanted to come home to you. So... I sang your song." 'Our song'

I love this game. Garnet is so adorable. She's such a doll!!

I remember beating this game a long time ago. I was a kid and looked up to Zidane as my role model... needless to say, I went through too many emotions by the end of the game. I remember sobbing out of loss, then crying tears of joy, and then the credits left me in a daze... I remember telling myself "what am I going to do now?" To me, Final fantasy IX, VI and X are the best, story and emotionally wise

こんなに想って、発売、待ってたよ

FF9 is one best of the best game for PS1 , I always miss this game and all the characters. Thank you FF9.

This was actually the First Final Fantasy game I ever played. Love this game and still play it to this day. FFVII was good as was VIII but this one just has... Life.

Between the coattails of 7 & 8 and then 10, Final Fantasy 9 feels a lot more like a fairy tale.

2 decades ago i fell in love with a game and from then on i kept going back to this video to celebrate that love

at this, the end of all things, I will still remember.

I love this game and this is one of my favorite songs of all time, which brings to my mind memorable memories and emotions. For me FF IX is not just a game, it is a piece of art, a collection of emotions and feelings that will always remain in my heart.

FFIX is my favourite FF of all time, listening to this song make me wanna cry. So much beautiful.

A very much underrated game. Personally this is my favourite FF, the story is great and the soundtrack is just beautiful. This song is so underrated too T.T it's my favourite vocal FF song. It still moves me in 2016

This game is so beautiful. My heart breaks when I think about the small possibility of a remake like ff7 remake.

Tonight is the first time i heard this song from my recommendation. And also tonight, i've replay this song more than 20 times

For me, 9 will always be the best game in the franchise. It gave me inspiration to build my dreams upon that I'm striving for

Probably one of the best songs on earth.

in the second verse the line changes from "in my dearest memories" to "in your dearest memories"

I love how in the English version of this, they did make an effort to to have a it rhyme nicely while still keeping the original message of the song. Very well done. I wish Suteki Da Ne in English had followed in these footsteps, but it sounds like a jumbled mess in English unfortunately.

tout simplement magnifique ! Quelle nostalgie de revoir les vidéos d'un jeu si extraordinaire ...

Nowadays gamers always looking at open world games but for me, *JRPG is the best.*

When i hear this song, i am really really really want to play it again. 😭

I also loved Steiner x Beatrix couple

the best final fantasy and such a beautiful song to end on i'll never tire of 9

ive been Looking for this song All over the years... Thanks for uploading... ^_^

FF6-10 were the pinnacle of the series. While appreciate the whole series, those 5 stories are the ones that stick with me

Ohh my god. This is one of my favorite game and song when i was a young and single. The song make me back to my sweetest young time.

Thank you so much for this video. I was crying watching it because it brought back some painful memories. But also one of the best times I had in my life during that time. This game is not only the best because of the graphics, which I think are beautiful, but the story line is such a wonderful story of finding yourself, and of love.

My gosh, Final Fantasy ost's are all beautiful.

kids nowadays will never know a "true" masterpiece of RPG

Well, that is the beauty and the magic of music :D Cheers!

Man, the memories are hitting hard with this one...I remember when I first played FF9 when I was about 14 years old. Even then, the game seemed to bring an old-timey story telling experience that's gravely lacking in today's many movies, video games, books, etc. There was just something so enduring about FF9 as a kid. Even though I'm not sure I would truly be able to appreciate this timeless masterpiece now - I can't deny that it definitely left an impression on me when I did play it all those years ago. Thank you for this upload geekster129. I hope you're doing well and keeping safe during the covid-19 pandemic.

Melodies of 2021 ❤️

There's a lot of reasons Final Fantasy IX is my favorite in the series. This song is one of them

Listened to this after many years of hearing it. Had problems holding tears back after the first few notes.

Signaled a new generation and new era!

this song is my daughter's favorite song .. when she came out to this world this is the song that I always play .. the roots were pretty obvious .. I love FF9 it's the most significant FF game for me .. I learned everything and the song makes me cry .. how I miss this game.. I looking for ROMs with cinematics so I can let my child experience what I experienced ..

Final Fantasy IX and VII are the best games ever made to date storywise. If you see it gameplaywise, it's definately FFX.

Thank you very much for your comments on my solo guitar video:) i am truly impressed with your heavenly beautiful FF video and melodies. It is indeed fantasy but undoubtedly lives within each of our mind with longing memory.

Beautiful game. The ones developed today can’t even compare to the plots before. This is one of the best games I’ve never played. Still makes my heart beat.

2006 meeennnnn!!!! 13 years ago!!! gw dah kecanduan ini lagu

Too much memories. I missed FF7, 8 and 9

this song is so epic.

geez.. so nice.. makes me cry as well.. thanks for the upload..

I actually loved this FF series ! By far one of my favorites and I'll never get old of it

Still listening to this in 2017. Anyone else?

Zidane was a nice change from the emo self loathing protagonists, he was just a nice guy from the start

Aww.. I Love how you added subtitles, making it almost like a real official music video. Great job

I play this when i was still 15 years old. The best ever final Fantasy along with FF VIII.

BEST FF I´VE EVER PLAYED, I WAS CRYING WHEN I FINISHED IT :((((

I remember when I was in high school in the Philippines, the only way for me to watch this was via a TV channel called Fuse. You still need to request this song via SMS and there's no guarantee that it will be played that night.

Perfect. Perfect. And perfect. This video was just perfect. Perfectly placed clips, perfect (relatively, considering it's a PS game) graphics, perfect sound and perfectly chosen song. I just can't find any other word to describe this video other than "perfect". Liked and Favorited.

Listening right now. 2020. This brings back memories that brings back youth age.
