You're Not Alone! (Final Fantasy IX) Cover

[xVishDaFish]

This would be really cool if the guitar were tuned better (or played better on the slight chance this is fretless but really...). i like the version better except the for the imprecision

[sephirothxcalamity]

I like this version more so than the original

[syntheticsamurai]

I understand the reference, but there are dozens of names related to that game I can pull off the top of my head (ex. Blue Planet, Giant of Babil, The Dragoons, Four Lords of the Elements) all off which have no direct link to menstrual cunnilingus...

[syntheticsamurai]

That cover band really should have ran their prospective name through a search engine before naming themselves "The Red Wings"

[Arisatokun]

@syntheticsamurai Or they just realized that Final Fantasy IV was fucking awesome. There's always that.

[elDudacus]

THIS my friend is what I call epic.

[Lthibaud]

Wow! Learn to play guitar, for god's sake XD

[morgasaurus]

This is the only piece I've ever heard played entirely in a minor key that doesn't sound sad at all. Rather, it invokes an extremely awesome feeling of epicness. Uematsu is a genius, and this is a great cover.

[FLECHdiMARANGO95]

MAGICALL

[FuzzyPeachea]

some of the parts sound really off...

[ZeroRaijin]

Decent cover, and badass band name. I find that it lacks the feeling of struggle Zidan went through during that part but it as pretty nice all in all.

[Inferape95]

Even if you guys think that this sucks, I find it to still be a decent remix. Looking forward to a new version, however.

[DeathByFayt]

Very nice job :) this was always my favorite part in FF9. also is my favorite FF in the series xD

[Aerokii]

For one of the best songs in all of Final Fantasy IX (in my opinion), it was and is extremely overlooked/underutilized. This is the best mix I've heard of it.

[SephirothLamarre]

Damn. As FinalFantasy fan i thought, lets see what crappy covers i find on the tube. but man. you guys are really awesome. hadn't thought this. and i dont mean only this song. give it some years of training, and maaan, you wouldnt even have to hide from the black mages. keep it on bros.

[SephirothLamarre]

@SephirothLamarre

ps: this only goes for the final fantasy music. not to misunderstand. you have also themes from other games

[xDevidrax]

2:40 ... A little bit of Zelda ;D

[AMcGrath82]

Hmmm....  my ears might be deceiving me, but why is the drummer in 4/4?

[hslcon]

I love this remake, I can't wait for it to be re-made again,

[DreadSaruman]

Nice Remixes. You really have talent for this. You are creative and you understand what's really important about these songs ;) You, my good sir, have my respect.

[arcanepretext]

"You're not alone" is my favorite song from the entire FF series and I feel this rendition more than does it justice. Excellent work!

[oOArtenianOo]

the guitar is really to strong in sound for You're not alone..:(

[BriDirt]

great!

[Evnyofdeath]

Hm......the group's name is Red Wings? Would that be a reference to the Baron Red Wings from FF4?

[Thecoolguy01]

redo is sooooon then

[gaiathenight]

i like both of them the original was awsome and this sounds like a new version of it nice job man

[Dan1loBr]

hey, at least the drums are awesome :D:D

[h4y4bu54]

The "maniac" piano is incredibly well made; it was stuck in my head for literally the entire day.

[ElBuzzy67]

I like that !

Do you have any tab, please ?

[limitdriver321]

friggin' awesome!!

[masterogrp]

Speechless... Subscribed...

[M0TD]

It starts out awesome. Second part of the build up needs less maniac piano and more dramatic strokes. The climax, just when the tempo speeds up needs more "umph!" More of powerful push, then lead into guitar. Repeating the melody of the fast part was a nice touch and added more emphases on the overall dramatic desperate feeling of the song. So, yeah. Good job guys, I love this song immensely, and you did it well.

[LandscapeManX]

Man i'm going apeshit! This is my fav. FF song. And this version is even better. thnx

[Bakuha]

Up until 1:10ish needs either less distortion or more acoustic IMO. Ruins the calm tone.

[undeadprimo]

all this needs is a little polishing with the guitar and it would be even more amazing.

Also you should put up like an orchestral version. Like sounds from the beginning on this version of the song

[hidgico]

I love this song so much

it makes me cry everytime i listen to it becuz it reminds me of a time when me and my brother used to hang out a lot

[stevemcblark]

I hope you do come back to this some day. Sure, it could use some polishing, but I really like what you did with having the piano collections version in the background of the first part, and then when the rock took over it was pretty cool. Great ideas in there. Hope to see a redo.

[Kati1337]

Thumbs up to the guitar player, nice performance. Needs a bit more groove still, like other people said before.

For my taste, the drummer makes a bit much of a "dingelilng", he needs to chill a bit, otherwise the song becomes so hectical.

[videoseekerxl]

I think it's great! Keep up the good work!

[SenseOfSecurity]

This is really well done. But it just seems to be lacking emotion. I mean, there's not a note out of place... but It's missing something to make it... well.. special. Very good though xD!

[Diricos7]

I agree. Thumbs down me all you want people, but I love the music from this game, and I believe a song like this has so much underlying passion that it's really not fair to the song to not have its true power exploited musically.

I saw that it was the first that this group had done, so there's certainly some leeway there. I'd love to see a remake!

[APZonerunner]

It's a fair comment, guys. We've got a lot in the works at the moment but one day we will return to this; we love this piece too much not to.

[glenny126]

I expect covers to have a different 'zing' to it but this is basically the exact same as the original played on instruments.

[APZonerunner]

This was the first track we ever recorded way back in 2006; Back then we honestly didn't know any better! Check out some of our newer stuff like Decisive Battle, Clash on the Big Bridge & Lava Reef for examples of more different ones.

Sometimes straight covers are good though! I think, anyway. We want to capture the essence of what the song is about.

Even here we added the piano (played from Piano Collections sheet music) and some basic harmonies.One day we're gonna redo this mind..

[Foreingwind]

this is awsome!!! i was really hoping to hear this in rock version (well more realistic) thanks so much for this

[DinoMetal91]

Oh c'mon man, give me another charge of oxigen and emotions! This song is beautiful!!!

[EntropyEternal]

I really don't mean to nitpick, but does the lead guitar sound a little bit flat in places on this track? :S

[APZonerunner]

Really - yes, a bit. We're gonna redo this track. This was originally recorded in like 2005 - we were much less experienced then. Check the new tracks for the kind of stuff we do these days.

[EntropyEternal]

Will do. Cheers.

[joshuapsgibbons]

@APZonerunner Have you remade this song yet? I would love to hear what your new take on it would be, you guys are amazing musicans.

[naynay101hotdog]

have you earned your red wings?

[SphincterBoyJenkins]

wow man! good stuff!

fav'd! im trying to download the song right now!

[cloudjames]

cool song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like it

[KogaKurosaki]

Nice!! It's about time some one did a GOOD remix of this song!! =) Great job man!

[TheMoogleKing93]

I think I prefer themes like this in instrumentals, compared to covers of battle themes. Seem to work better.

[YuniX2]

My absolute favorite FF song of all time! and you did an amazing job with it! Thank you so much! so few people remember this song, but it always just stuck with me somehow, you know?

[leav14]

just wonderful this song....

i love it....

particularly into so bad time

[Peppe3092]

Ehi! This song is wonderful!! I love it, but I can't download it in my computer from your website! The last time I download Aerith's Theme I did it, now i can't. Why?

[APZonerunner]

I've reuploaded... give it another try. Also try right clicking and "saving file as" on the download link. :)

[Peppe3092]

OK, I did it, thank you ^^

[chsco]

NICE! its so super rare to find another band that plays FF music besides TBM! (subscribed).

good job for the great effort there (:

[vsephirothff]

come on give the black mages some credit (there the band that wrote and preformed the song for the game)

[APZonerunner]

Well I love the Black Mages as much as the next guy - they inspired us to start doing game music covers! But they didn't do this song and never have.

Nobuo Uematsu is the man who composed this (and most other FF tracks), and he is the organ player in The Black Mages. The 'performance' in game is just a midi... sadly nobody's official has ever done this live except for the piano solo version.

Either way, Nobuo is fully credited in the MP3 ID tags and on our website! He is a genius!

[vsephirothff]

so ... wait the black mages never actualy made the music... just covered it?

[APZonerunner]

In a way. They're an official band and all of the members but one are musicians at Square have composed for various FF games. Most of the FF music is composed by Nobuo Uematsu, who plays organ in TBM, so they as a group are covering his songs.

The only song TBM themselves actually composed/arranged for the games was One Winged Angel for Advent Children and some of the other general music in the movie.

Though the individual dudes work on all sorts of Square Enix/FF games.

[NightmareSymphony]

They composed the song "Those Who Fight Further" which was a battle theme in FFVII

[APZonerunner]

Again, they covered it... but they didn't compose it. FF7 came out in '97 and TBM didn't form 'til 2003. But like I said before all FF7's music was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, who is the organ player and one of the founding members of the band.

But as for original songs they composed as a group - they did (some) Advent Children music though Uematsu did the majority the group did the rock stuff, and they did a theme for a Japanese Wrestler... and a theme for a Japanese TV show, I think.

[kakeh]

Yeah. Nobuo himself made most of the music up until FF10 I think and then broke away for more projects. TBM cover FF songs for fun and tyr to bring some life back into Nobuo's fav. pieces

[TheJorus]

Final Fantasy IX was his last music project. He was totally overworked on it, so he left. However, he's doing the music for Final Fantasy XIV.

[DracXBelmont]

Where did you get this information? Final Fantasy XI was his last/most recent music project.

[TheJorus]

Yeah, but I mean what he did completely by himself. He did X and XI osts with few other people.

[AloBienBien]

AWEZOME THEME !!! ff9 RULZ !

[sum16kwt]

question.. at the beginning there is a chord that the strings does it but the bass repeat the previous chord so.. and doesnt sound right....

another question about the guitar tone.. u recorded it Miking the Amp??

Criticizing doesnt mean that I didnt like..

Its great!! sounds cool!

[APZonerunner]

This is really one of our older tracks so it isn't perfect... there are errors here and there. This was recorded way back in late '06 and we didn't have half the tools or knowledge then when it comes to recording that we do now...

I can't remember if we miced an amp or not for this...sometimes we do, sometimes we use a preamp direct. Way too long ago too remember... but again, our tools are better now, be it a mic or a preamp. :)

Glad you like it!

[Galvajon]

This kicks all kinds of ass.

[BlackDragonJitsu]

DOPE

[bokuzenkosugi]

Even though I fail at guitar, I want to learn this now.

<33

[cloud5567]

wow this is sooo kwl nice remake love it

[saedt]

you guys fucking rock, i would by ur album in a heartbeat

[Squeak2]

I hear the piano collections piano in the backround! :O

[bloopiez]

I don't like the tone of the guitar, it sounds kind of...I don't know. It doesn't sound right.

The beginning was good though.

[APZonerunner]

Yeah, I know... It's a pretty dated recording compared to the rest of the tracks. Literally by over a year. But still! Good to see the evolution of the style and stuff, I think! :)

[Croter8ment]

its funny i was just thinking the black mages need to do this song. 6 out of 5.

[XxXRathalosXxX]

Muy buena música

[Verywiseguy7]

As someone who never played FFIX I must say....I need to now go find a copy of FFIX.

[tuppen1985]

Louder bass drum plz

[LiMeej]

where can i get this

[ChronospaceTrode]

the red wings, i'm surprised detroit didnt sew lol jk

[SuperSekula]

This has to be the best remix I have ever heard of this song and this is my favourite FFIX song... Thank you so damn much for such a Badass song!

[AKASUKIJOE]

this is awasome

[ferethlas]

sounds really good =) Give it more cover from FF from this band??

[APZonerunner]

If you check my profile there's FF7's Cosmo Canyon.. I also have Cid's Theme from FF7 and Battle/Decisive Battle from FF6. I'll upload these soon, so keep watching!

[icegoddesslexra]

You need Final Fantasy VIII songs. Though you did good with the two Zelda songs (from my favorite game too ^^)

Oooh your song gives me goosebumps
