Hey everyone! I hope you're having a good start to 2020. To Zanarkand is a song that I covered back in 2015 and I know it's a lot of people's favourite song, so I wanted to remake it and put it on Spotify and other streaming sites for you to listen to! I also didn't want this video to take too much time away from working on the Octopath album, so it's just a one-shot while I recorded. Enjoy all the concentration faces! 😂
Thank you for bringing back some beautiful memories you are a legend Samantha Ballard good luck for the future darling thank you so much X 👍🏴 🥃🍺❤️💖😍😘🤗🌟🎅
This legit made me start tearing from the 4th note played. I know this might seem like just a pretty song from a game to some but this takes me back to of a better and prettier time of my life. Hearing it now at this moment has brought me a wind of kind nostalgia to heal some of these deep pains Inside a damaged soul. Alone and very far away from anything familiar. Today hurts the most. I know this might die in the comments but I just felt like saying something to no one. But thank you to the artist covering it. Your talent and soul is beyond measurable.
It sounds like you're going through a rough time right now, and I don't know your circumstances, but I have hope for you that things will get better ❤️ thank you for creating some kindness in this world with your comment :)
I'm reading this comment 2 years after you wrote It...i Hope you feel better now and i wish you a beautiful life...and if It's not beautiful, just do whatever Is in your Power to make It so. I hug you.
I just have to say, this was the finest execution of this song I've heard by a single individual. Fantastic! The timing of each note was perfect for this version on the harp, and the fact that you didn't change up or add too many notes is something I can appreciate. Beautiful work!
La extraño. La necesito. Todas las mañanas esta melodia acompaña la nostalgia de saber que ya no esta conmigo, que no la puedo ver y se volvió algo absurdamente complicado ir a buscarla ; cada sonido dr esta pieza me remite a mi felicidad, cuando estábamos juntos, cuando el mundo tenia sentido. Ahora solo soy un recuerdo, como Zanarkand, un lugar en ruinas, vacío y lleno de sueños y esperanzas. No puedo seguir mi vida sin ella, desearía que contara las lagrimas que salen de mi cada que escucho esto y vea, me vea lamentarme por no haber hecho bien las cosas. El resto de mi vida será sin ella y no sé cómo voy a vivirla.
Ah god damn it. I literally JUST got over watching that one gamer girl react to this game and break down and I went along that ride with her. And here we fucking go again. WHY IS THIS SONG SO EMOTIONAL?!
You are so rad Samantha! Would love to video chat for lessons on my celtic harp. Looking to expand my ability to play and improvise through scales and whatever you have for me to grind and practice.
The most beautiful part about this is you played your heart out. I can feel it in every tunes and strings. This is purely magical. A remedy to a lonely and saddened heart. Thank you..from the bottom of my heart.
I always knew this would sound really, really beautiful on harp. Glad I wasn't wrong. Hadn't thought about this for a few years after I'd lost most of my musical library. I'm so, so glad I found this version. Masterfully done! I absolutely *love* it - thank you so much for this :)
This is amazing. As someone who played this game like 40 times, this theme is just made for the harp. And you executed it beautifully 😭 I'm gonna cry 😭❤️❤️ also sorry for my bad English 🙏💕
I don't know if you remember but I hired you to play this at my wedding in the spring of 2019. I still come back to this video a few times a year, the day was crazy busy and is mostly a blur now but I hope you know how much the mystical beauty of your talent added to that day and brings me back still
Samantha. I love your songs. I play violin but I'm not a professional 😅. Look, there's a song originally played in harp. It's Song of Memories from Final Fantasy 9. Please play it for us... 😁
1:52 Seeing Samantha Ballard frowning while playing the Harp is a bit disturbing for me. I am slightly conflicted to say that I enjoy this piece after seeing her facial expression.
Oh my lord why havent i bumped into your channel before...I must have been living under a rock. just beautifully played, flawless! So soothing, so perfectly executed, so Zanarkand!! Actually better than the original to me. You have my thanks and a new fan! Can't wait to see what else you got!
@@SamanthaBallard been having your music in the background since yesterday :) If i may request, would love to hear your version on Suteki Da Ne. Also from FFX
