  • omg when Zack died i cried so much T^T and then when aerith died i just wailed but then when cloud see's aerith and zack one final time i just couldn't stand it that i lost all my barriers and curled up in a ball ever so wishing i was there just so I can say good bye D: T_T

  • I'd like to see her sing a song for Yuffie's theme. That one would be so cute!

  • Cloud is the man...he fights for what is right...goddam i wish i was cloudo

  • I absolutely adore the lyrics you came up with! :3 They are so fitting and it makes the theme sooo beautiful! I wish I could get this on my iPod.

  • Am I the only one who becomes both sad and happy when listening to this song?

    Its like remembering a happy memory that makes you think abit sad that just that memory is behind you already

  • You are amazing! Good job! You really capture the predicament of aeris, the one destined to die.

  • Wow, you really wrote these lyrics yourself? they are amazing. i love the relationship between cloud and aerith, their relationship isnt limited to romantic, it can be seen in many different ways. i really love the lyrics, and needless to say (but because i think that you deserve the praise) you have a beautiful voice.

  • I love Clerith and your lyrics to this. I love Cloud and Aerith so very much together ^^ Very well done take on her theme.

  • You are so talented, I applaud you my dear (: & tbh before anyone can comment on Aerith's relationship with Cloud or Zack, get your facts straight because in MotP she turned Zack down and she implied she preferred Cloud's "simplistic and awkward" nature. She also claimed she loves Cloud even in the life stream and referred to Zack as a very dear friend.

  • You have an absolutely amazing and lovely voice!

  • Does anyone ever notice that Cloud is always used as a vessel for something... Could kicks ass... he should be in the Avengers movie.. dammit!!!! And Aeris is my fav female game character...I would fight to the end for her too. People see something in Cloud..he just kicks ass..

  • Damn, thats a great voice!

    Give me the feeling of cold ice in the neck.

    And the videocutting is also very good.

    Keep going on ^^

  • Strange feedback for this video once again.

  • Beautiful text! Breathtaking voice. Great work. Thanks for sharing <3

  • Do To Zanarkand! If you could make it just as beautiful or maybe even more beautiful than this, you'll be instantly world famous, or something!

    Please please please PLEEEEASE do a cover of To Zanarkand!!

  • I am a Final Fantasy junkie and what you did with this and the FFX song was classic! Your voice is OVER 9000!!!!!

  • I wasn't even ten years old when I first played Final Fantasy VII. I wept so hard when Aeris/Aerith was killed in the game. Every time I play it, even now as an adult fourteen years later, I still weep for that woman. Your song hurts in that same fashion. I feel like the loved one lost so many times has finally answered the, "Why?" that I and so many others have asked for so long. Is it closure I feel? Either way, tears came back to my eyes. You truly gave Aeris her voice with this.

  • I shall waltz to this for my sweet 16! >:o coz it is amazingly beautiful :) nice Job! 

  • This damn story.. Still makes me cry :'C

  • your voice is so lovely. Thank you for this gift you share

  • This is truly beautiful. I love the original Aerith's Theme and I love this even more! Thanks=D

  • Her voice is like an Angel.

  • Listening to this today in memory of my neighbor Pat, who passed away this past week end.

  • awsome job on this sounds great i just have troble listening to it tho its kinda depresing makes me think of aeriths death and thats very sad part in the game

  • Infinite likes! I bow to your glorious art.

  • The best way to describe this is one word. Beautiful.

  • Squaresoft's (not SquareEnix) masterpiece. When I'm on my deathbed reflecting on my life I will remember playing this game.

  • Thank you for writing such beautiful lyrics. Had to cover this song using them~! <3

  • the goddess is about teh HaXxOrZ of LiFe!

  • Kate, I noticed that you do a lot of Final Fantasy VII and higher covers, more FFIX, though. (love that game)

    I guess it's just me, but I REALLY love Cyan's Theme from Final Fantasy VI and when I imagine vocals, I imagine your yodel that you put in most of your arrangements. Then there's your beautiful poetry that is lyrics that YOU write yourself.

    I guess you can call this a request but I, personally, don't want to die NOT hearing that. Sorry, I don't want to be demanding but please!

  • Amazing... <3

  • Now this is talent at its best!! The perfect tribute to Aerith!!

  • ZACK!!!! D': COME BAACK!

    Whoops. That rhymed

  • That was just phenomenal. It brought back all the emotion perfectly. I think I love you XD. But really, that was by far one of the most incredible things I've heard.

  • Have you ever considered doing FF3/6 music?

  • Wow wow wow!!! You deserve every ounce of recognition and praise that you receive, Kate. You have a way of capturing each character in their respective song that I've never heard. It's simply amazing how talented you are.  Keep up the amazing work!

  • Freaking fantastic :-) love the song and the music keep up the fantastic work!! xox

  • This is fantastic, I wanna know how you did this. It's exactly what I want to try haha :) just... what equipment do I require to produce such wonderful sounds like that? your vocals are haunting and echoes that suits the music beautifully. How long does it take you to produce each song usually? And you play each instrument? that's awesome all I can do is play piano heh or keyboard. Right now I'm working on doing some game music covers myself but vocally I need to improve alot. Cheers!

  • hmm.... a nice melody

  • You are in my wildest dreams haha ^^

  • FUCK I LOVE THAT :)

  • How the hell do people like Justin beiber get famous from youtube while this kind of talent goes unnoticed?!?!?!?!

  • @SPSFOREVER because garbage like justin bieber it's all about looks only horny girls listen to his music.

  • @SPSFOREVER Totally agree !

  • Beautiful song, beautiful voice.

  • "Because they need you

    Because I love you"

    How you managed to sing the end of this second line without your voice cracking is beyond me.

    I'm so sad it's taken me this long to find your arrangement of this song.

    Thank you.

  • R.I.P Aerith

  • I was two seconds into the lyrics and my eyes started to tear up. Fantasic once again!

  • AGAIN...I AM SURPRISED THAT SHE HAS NOT BEEN DISCOVERED YET!

  • Beautiful song.

    For all those and hopefully kate might be able to put TheLifestream(dot)net audio of The Maiden Who Travels The Planet in the description box for more impact of this song.

    Watch it here: watch?v=gdoryr958KY

  • I'm kinda confused, I thought that zack was dating aerith. I'm still in the game where he's still alive. It's sad that I already know his fate.

  • @FrostshadowLord Have you played the original FF7? Released in 1997? Crisis Core is only it's prequel.

  • @katethegreat19 It's a prequel. -shocked-. Sorry I didn't know that. I'm playing crisis core.

  • @FrostshadowLord

    Yes crisis core is the prequel, ff7 is the main one. FF7 has quite a deep storyline that requires some understanding. It might be good to either play FF7 (main one) or read up the FFwikia. :)

  • @katethegreat19 Cannon wise, Cloud never had a thing for Aerith, you could chose to pursue a date, ut it was only a joke thing. He thought of her as a little sister, he had/has a thing for Tifa. Then when you see Aerith and Zack in Advent children you see them standing together. You have to remember, Aerith could still talk to Zack lilke he was still around, just like she did to her mother. She always kept that attatchment to him, though she liked Cloud because he reminder her of Zack.

  • @SMGxSeshaBeowulf Aerith was a character with so much love in her, so yes the song is about love :) but I didn't limit it to any particular type of love. Mothers love their children. Sisters love their brothers. Friends love their friends. And yes lovers love each other. The beauty of love is that it is absolutely universal. In my lyrics, I didn't limit Aerith's love to simply romantic. I would never do that to her.

  • @katethegreat19 oh I agree, I was just trying to clear up the story, since it was a child hood favorite! You did a great job representing Aeriths love for everyone, I would agree though that she did love Cloud, just not romantically. It's funny that you mention motherly love, because she jokes about being Clouds mother in Advent Children. Great job(:

    Still panning that Tifa Rendition?

  • @SMGxSeshaBeowulf Actually Aerith's date is the "canon" one. Or at least equal to Tifa's date scene. Cloud didn't just think of her as a sister at all. Just because she hooked up with Zack after death doesn't mean she didn't develop feelings for Cloud. She also wouldn't have talked to Zack after he died until she did because in the Novella detailing her experiances inthe Lifestream she meets Zack and is surprised he's dead.

  • @FrostshadowLord Indeed, Crisis Core, where Zack is actually alive, is a prequel to FFVII. Zack was Aerith's first love, but after his death, she and Cloud ended up falling for each other.

    And yes. Sadness. D: But it's okay. Cloud's living for both of them! TwT

  • @FrostshadowLord Everyone dies eventually, he gets to go epically.

  • im not much of a crybaby, but this song tore me up. this is a perfect fit for aerith :)

  • these lyrics are so haunting.... so serene.... your voice is very refreshing and it should be recognised(whoever watches your videos already recognises your talent!). share your beautifully rare talent with the world.

  • absolutely amazing. Words can't describe.....I am speechless.

  • I like this...

  • More like katethegenius19.

  • I can truly say that this song saved me. It gave me comfort when I thought I losy someone and I felt as though he was singing this to me and in the whole day I felt comfort for the first time...I felt as though he was actually there next to me even though I cannot see him. I had had a nightmare about him and this soothed me to see that he was there all this time...And forever would he stay... Thank you!

  • :/ Aeris and Cloud shared a brotherxSister love, less than a romantic love. Aeris and Zack were more romantic with each other than Aeris and Cloud. It's not that Cloud and Aeris couldn't fall in love, but Aeris's heart was somewhere else already. She did however go with Cloud because she liked him. But Cloud wanted to protect her as a brother. And Aeris wanted to help Cloud like a sister. make sense? If you really pay attention to the storyline and the script it makes sense.

  • @Ptollemios Doesn't that depend on what you choose cloud to say to her?

  • Comment removed

  • ......And that's why I subscribed.

  • The impossible has been made possible. You took one of the most memorable melodies from one of the most memorable rpgs and made it better. For that I thank you.

  • Haunting, Sad.. Majestic good song. 

  • This is so Epic... Bottom line, I cried.

  • I love Aerith's theme song, it always bring me to tears and you made it better. You made it so much better. Please continue your wonderful talent and make your fans smile, like me.

  • Very pretty. I love how you kept that harp from "Flowers Blooming in the Slums" playing throughout.

  • I been raping the replay button a lot and i'm blame you Kate XD

  • Love this so much!

  • I've commented before, but I ran across this while browsing through my favorites and had to watch, and, for having watched, had to comment lol.

    Just, incredible. Love this so much.

  • this is great and beautiful :3 can you send me the instrumental version of this song?=)

  • Comment removed

  • *applause* This is very good. Nice lyrics too, suiting for its situation...

    you really do hear a variation of everything on youtube, it's awesome!

  • i just got dumped after 4 years with a girl. never been realy good at crying and getting stuff out since im a guy and "gotta be tough".. but, when i heard this song, i litterly broke down., its the most incredible song i have ever heard, so powerfull and simple in its way. thank you so incredibly much for this master piece! your song broke down a huge wall. tanks again from norway ;)

  • This song brought tears to my eyes. It's so sad and beautiful. Your voice is amazing an your lyrics are awesome.

  • Durrr ... I cried. Your voice is so beautiful, Kate.

  • I have to admit, this is actually one of my LEAST favorite of Nobuo's more popular compositions...and you just made it one of my favorite. Most arrangements of it make the mistake of giving it too much force, but you've perfectly captured the delicate sorrow of the piece that I thought I felt the first time I heard it. Well done, well done, and well done.

  • Holy freaking crap, this is beautiful.

  • this makes me want 2 play FFVII and kick seph, ass again. X3

  • The lyrics and the singing are amazing. It made me cry. <3

  • So professional :o I wish i could sing and write lyrics like that!!!

    The lyrics are very aerith like.

  • I listened to this on a stormy day. It was so epic I nearly cried

  • 3:44 it's inevitable don't cry

  • This is amazing, best music I've ever heard

  • If they ever decide to remake FF7,this chicks music should be the entire soundtrack.

  • I love this track. I can't listen to it too often as it makes me weepy. It always has since the first time i heard it playing FFVII years ago. And this version is so awesome. The lyrics are great and its sang beautifully. Now i need to weep again! You need to keep doing singing and writing as this was emotional!

  • I cry. I love this game. I love Aerith. I love the twist of ZackAerithCloud relationship. You make the lyric so fit, your voice so heavenly. And now I love you!

  • May be the beer talking, but wanted to listen to this track (coulda just listened to it on my iTunes) and luckily I heard this. Thank you. Whilst it did make me weepy like it used to years ago, thanks for bringing life to it again.

  • such a beautiful voice puts me to sleep its so calming

  • My sis is dying...and i had to watch this. It's so amazingly beautiful. It of course made me cry...again. You're exceptionally talented. Never stop creating beautiful music. It's so wonderful

  • that was so...... indescribable...

    wow

    girl, you are so talented, you have to promise me that you will never stop making those videos

  • This is a great master piece.

    *downloads*

    I agree with that person up there(:

    I will buy your album! x]

    I wish to hear more! 8D

  • ..... They should have sent a poet.... By the gods... This is absolutely beautiful. You hit the first crescendo and that was it. I am a blubbering mess every time I listen to this. I have always loved this song, and the way you've performed the lyrics strikes me as though it were Aerith herself. Bravi. Keep up the good work.. Meanwhile, I ought to go buy out a Kleenex factory...

  • beautiful song and who ever is singing this has the voice of a angel id love to meet this angel lol. I played this game over and over when i was little it brings back memories. Thumbs up, Subscribed, and Downloaded.

  • You really sound beautiful! I'm very impressed but also jealous. If I may ask how old are you?

  • I never been so teary eyed in my life at a song....This is beautiful and I have never played FF ever...

  • Are you an angel?

  • ma femme ^^ ma princesse!! mon petit coeur ^^ ma petite fée :-)

  • I want to download this on iTunes so I can listen to it on my iPod and listen to it all the time if there's anyway you can put this on iTunes I would love you.

  • This song made me really watery eyed, and i'm a fairly reclusive dude, I've never really lost anyone that I've held really dear, at least not yet, but when I picture this as a message to me from some of the people in my life that I hold dear and when you sing "Because I love you." something in my souls just gets set off and I get really emotional. But by God do I feel great knowing that I'll have this song to listen to when I do lose them. It is the greatest gift you've given. Hope. Bless you.

  • @RaiderA528M I envy you for not having lost anyone really dear to you yet, but neverless, make the most out of it and enjoy yourself with your dear ones =)

  • When i first heard this i tried not to cry but i had to shed one tear. This is truly beautiful and awesome. Your voice makes ppl that are sad, angry, or depress rejoice with happy feeling after hearing this. This is truly flawless.

  • I really wish there was a karaoke version of this. ^^; I adore this song so much; ti's definitely in my top favorites songs of all time!

  • I've got goosepimples. And I agree with the others, I would certainly buy your music. It's clear your love for the series is great, and is matched by your beautiful voice. The two work together beautifully, and you've got a real talent there. As a fellow FF Fan myself, I humbly thank you for taking the time and dedication to bring these tunes a new life.

  • Few things are more amazing than this.

  • This seals it, marry me?

  • I have to admit, this brought tears to my eyes. Your vocals fit beautifully with the melody, giving sort of a haunted, yet celestial feel to the piece. I'll probably be checking out the rest of your stuff now.

  • I cried twice (three times, if you count me stopping to start off this comment, then getting back to the music) during this song. I don't think words can quite explain how beautiful and how meaningful this is to me. You have, I think, the most beautiful voice I've ever had the good fortune to come across.

    Keep doing what you do... You're so amazing. I don't often subscribe to anything. But it must be done.

  • whenever i want to sleep this is my choise! supreme lullaby

  • does it look to anyone else that Aeris is lip-synching to the last "You close you eyes, now"?

  • No lie...i shed a tear...its outstanding kate...thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. Grow strong and proud :)

  • i love finaql fantasy

  • ........wow.....i'm at a loss for words

  • you have a nice voice :)

  • you should sing the next final fantasy offial theme

  • I will be force to return to Midgar I think...

  • You take beautiful things and make them... something that I can't even put into words. Your arrangements and your voice just move me. I truthfully and honestly love what you create.

  • I'd love to see a live performance of this song...

  • the lyrics you wrote are amazing and perfectly go with the whole theme of the song

  • Your voice is gorgeous :3

    I didn't think a lot of things could improve this melody, but I can say you did it great justice :)

  • My whole life I've wished to write dutiful lyrics to do this (and many other FF songs) but you have made my dream come true. This song made me cry, like it should. THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

  • ur voice is like aerith's beautiful motherly love, calming ur heart soo much..I LOVE AERITH :')

  • In the future, if I have a baby girl, I'm naming her after Aerith. I've officially decided that. :D

  • Thumbs up if you think this blows away that overplayed theme song from the movie Titanic, and both came out in 1997.

  • Only a person with a beautiful soul could create such an opus. It's hard to do such a flawless instrumental justice, and well.. you did beyond that. You could not be praised enough for this :)

  • this is so beautiful! *-* every time i watch your video and listen to your amazing voice i have tears in my eyes. i really love this! after watching it a thousand times i want to tell you how much i like it!! :) and after this comment i will listen to this of course a thousand times ever and ever again. ♥

  • I love this video and this song! Great job, thank you! :D

  • my god this is so beautiful.... You have such an angellic voice <3

  • I just cried...this is simply beautiful.

  • I love you very much for this.

  • love the echo effect on the second verse!

  • I would love to here what you could come up with for Celes Theme from Final Fantasy 6.

  • You have such an amazing voice. And the lyrics fit Aerith's character perfectly. I really enjoy listening to your songs.

  • I am about to overflow.... Aerith´s is the cutest thing in life and your voice is the most precious thing i´ve ever heard. Please, try doing a cosplay of Aerith and then singing this song -Dies imagining such wonderfull thing *3*- This song removes the deepest senses in my heart. I wish... I wish... there was a real Aerith with your voice ~~ I´ll marry her without any doubt. I hope with all my soul to see you someday in tour, all around the world singing Final Fantasy songs.... *_* -Dies twice-

  • It's funny... someone I knew had this version on their profile for a song... and I'd view it JUST to listen to it because I didn't know where else to go to. NOW I do. I love the original by RIKKI but there is something about this one that just... settles inside my soul.

    Probably makes no sense. But if you only knew how true it is when I say I'm THE biggest Aeris fanboy <3

    Your voice is wonderful. Go make an album so I can buy it. Include this song so I can hit 'Repeat' instead of 'Replay'.

  • I CRY NOW!!!!! T^T

  • @malukagura I cry with you... Sad song...

  • Beautiful Sweetheart!!

  • I love the last part the most that was just genius

  • you are absolutely brilliant. How old are you? This game came out in 1997. If you were a young teenager when you played it, you must be a few years younger than i am.....but from the looks of your last video, you only look to be about 16 years old lol.

  • It doesn't matter how many times I watch/listen to this song. You did such an amazing job adding lyrics to this beautiful/haunting melody. Thanks so much!!! Does it offend you if people do covers using the lyrics you wrote?

  • Comment removed

  • ok i have to comment again this is just amazing cant listen to it enough!

  • this theme makes me cry everytime i listen to it...very powerful and it makes me wanna name my daughter in the future Aerith job well done many thumbs up love the game and i found a new song to have on repeat and play in the background while i work :)

  • That video is great you are amazing

  • My God, I just came across this and stared at my computer blankly for a good sixty seconds after it was over, just completely stunned. I haven't been moved like that in... well, a long time.

  • On the topic of video game covers, would you ever consider doing aria de mezzo carattere? The song Celes sings when they visit the opera house, i'm 100% positive you could do a gorgeous rendition of it

  • Hi, can you make a song to the prelude to the final fantasies?

  • Being in love with a fictional character is bad.

    Being in love with a dead person is bad.

    So... being love with a dead fictional character is....?

  • Comment removed

  • I Love Final Fantasy!*.* I have it just 15 minutes watch and i love it ^.^

    Your voice is so so beautiful! So so powerful, soft yet strong! I onely loves it! :D

    I wish my english are better then I can simply write more :))

  • I would love to hear an eyes on me cover. :-)

  • After watching this video i felt compelled to create an account on youtube just so i could comment on this master piece. If you brough out an album i would definately download and purchase it. I remember coming home from school one day to find my dad playing this game (i was in grade 4) and from that moment i was hooked. Thankyou for taking me back to such a happy and special moment in my life. This nearly brought me to tears. Please make more lyrics to songs from FF7. The best video-game made

  • @TheFioray I'm so happy you liked it! :O I put a lot of love into it! I played FF7 as a young teenager and was moved for life ^_~

    Oh! and I do have an album out btw! xD It's under my stage name "Erutan" and you can find previews of the songs on my channel + links to purchase :D

  • @TheFioray i can't tell you how much we are alike and how much i respect you. This song does bring tears and this game isn't just a game to play. It's a game that brings out emotions and a game that you don't just get hooked on but it get hooked onto you.

  • @FedEx867 I respect you to man, i have played this game over and over again for the past 13 years. everytime being hooked more into the story, what is your most emotionally compelling moment in the game besides aerith's death? great to talk to someone who i see eye to eye with :)

  • that was like aerith singing, angel voice.

  • I was wondering if you do requests? In case you do, PLEASE do Terra's theme from Final Fantasy VI. In my opinion that theme is the most beautiful Final Fantasy piece ever written :D

  • @Saminizer16 ^I totally agree! @.@ Terra's Theme is just amazing! I've not been able to come up with a very good lyric yet which is why I haven't done the piece as of now ^^;

  • @katethegreat19 I figured her theme would be more challenging considering how much deeper her role and story is in the game. Being raised by an evil army as a weapon with no free will for 16 years and when she finally regains it, she suffers from memory loss and finds herself in the middle of a war :( But then again, after hearing this BEAUTIFUL arrangement as well as your FF9 work, I know you can pull it off ;)

  • @katethegreat19 hi, um not sure how to do this (i rarely post coments) but can you sing Xions theme lyrics?

  • Wow your voice sounds lika an angel. That´s such a beautiful song. Every time i hear it my heart cries because i love Final Fantasy 7.

  • I am on my younger brother's account. I normally refuse to write any sort of comment online, but I have to ask... will you marry me? --- Now that we're passed that ridiculous notion, YOU REALLY ARE PHENOMENAL!!!

  • @trivestar xD ^ you're awesome xD
