Lara plays Silence Before the Storm, Final Fantasy X on piano

[Viooo3141592654]

by any chance, Are u an FFX fan ??

[yamibalus]

You know... played on Piano I can hear a little FF4 in this.... just a little but it's there

[MidnightRaidersWOW]

@yamibalus cause nobouo uematsu used stuff from other final fantasies and changed them around a bit

[07scraven]

i really cant stop watching this...i think ive watched this about 15 times....and shared it with all my buds on FB

[07scraven]

this song is almost as beautiful as you are.....wow!

[electricbadger]

Can you stop being incredible for 5 minutes so I can get some sleep? Please? Just... one... more... video...

[LorenceLinzWrightwoo]

this was great, one of the few FF games I dont have. I need to get a ps2 so i can play it again. BTW you got a great taste im music if that was not obvious already

[Ircos1]

every song you play are just like a better and nicer version of the original. It's a real pleasure to listen to you playing piano.

Continues to charm us with your incredible talent

[celticdruid3]

I am looking for the name of the FFX theme you hear inside the aeons temples... Not sure if you did this one or not.

[TheMattheist]

@celticdruid3 Hymn of the Fayth.

[supajordanful]

Okay this is about the third or fourth video of yours I have watched today, and I teared up. No joke, your music brought a tear to my eye. Gorgeous, amazing, and moving!

[razorjack1989]

oh my god this is so touching ...... =O i hear my heart beating fast and loud

[dZombieToast]

that is one of my favorites pieces also. that was great.

[MihenHighroad]

Do you play all the games that you...play on piano?

[xOmniCloudx]

I've been warped back to better and simpler times. Thank you Lara.

[nicksjamin1]

IMHO the best Final Fantasy, helped me through a very tough time.



[Chrjo12]

Thunder Plains, please.

Obligatory "you are quintessential win and amazing", et cetera.

[zacharycolemanjones]

this was amazing i love final fantasy and you almost made me cry you are the greatest person alive :D

[sdws17]

why are you so good?? WHY??

[TheTheCatshow89]

beautifull

[jobber2022497]

The section from 0:49 to 2:05 was incredible, capturing the spirit of the original track even better than the "official" piano arrangement. Wow.

[DanielleT192]

Ah this gives me shivers. I don't even play final fnatasy or any games at all, but the music you play is beautiful and it seems that games' music is the best to pick from. Love to hear more :)

[RazielArtistang]

Waj!! (waj is not a word xD by the way xD) I love your music.!!

[11James11Harris]

Wow good job!



[Crow132]

ohh.. that was so nice ^.^

love it

[shiningdahlia]

This is my favourite song in FFX, because my favourite place is Macalania Woods, and eventually, they will disappear =/... It's like...

[MrStooffer]

The FFX-soundtrack is the best. In my opinion. From This track to Besaid Village and so on.. Gotta love ´em.

[IDiiPSET]

i think if you tried to do path to repentance it would be a challenge for you check the song out tell me if you agree its on the F10 soundtrack

[mowthunderin]

for some reason this song reminds me of donnie darko? same mode or key perhaps?

[llbigmoe]

wow i couldn't find the subscribe button fast enough as soon as the audio started. Excellent performance!

[Xxd3cayxX]

This is so fucking beautiful. Are you by any chance left-handed?

[lara6683]

@Xxd3cayxX nope??

[Xxd3cayxX]

@lara6683 Oh, I only asked because most left-handed people are artistic and musically inclined. I love this piece though, thanks for covering.

[TurboBabyPuncher]

@Xxd3cayxX

Strangely enough, despite what science tells us about that, from personal experience I hardly find that to be true in real life.

[Xxd3cayxX]

@TurboBabyPuncher See, I would agree with you, but the fact that I'm left handed and a Chemistry major and very artistic (play guitar + piano etc..), and EVERY left handed person I have ever met, has had the same or similiar personality is Unreal to me. There must be a gene for everything too, just like they are finding out genes orient even addictions like alcoholism, when many years ago those people were considered diseased and shunned from society, just like homosexuality :D

[Xxd3cayxX]

@TurboBabyPuncher Science is truly unveiling the "cloak" of reality; though we are just flawed as humans and will never sadly see the truth to the Universe. Although, be as it may, we can attain the best Perspective that we can, utilizing modern science and our everlasting deep yearning to Understand our place within the Cosmos.

[TurboBabyPuncher]

@Xxd3cayxX

While insightful, I find your comment to be a little off subject of the point I was trying to make.

[Xxd3cayxX]

@TurboBabyPuncher Haha, sorry. I think I had some coffee and went off on a tangent lol :P

[lewyislostalot]

I've listened to the original so many times, as beautiful as it is, I feel too used to it to enjoy it as much as I once did. But this rendition of it rejuvenates the piece for me again. Excellent job!

[brucemalton]

oh, yeah, that Macalania theme may make you catch a peaceful slumber)

My, impressed) I'll just listen to it)

[Lionheart1188]

Final Fantasy X is my favourite game of ALL TIME...^_^, thankyou that was beautiful

[DarthPingu07]

speechless... again...

[GW2GNaoroji]

I forgot how beautiful this piece was. Thanks for reminding me. You play it perfectly :).

[imanewguybastard]

At that 0:50 mark, I wept manly man tears of manliness.

Nothing sissy about it. Nope. Nuh-uh. Never.

Also, this is my favourite track from FFX as well. I did a guitar arrangement of it for my Year 10 Music Class. B) I only got a 4/5. I swear... he's not a musician.

... Or maybe I just sucked.

[jimmybling31]

your rendition is so great. I love the temp change of it. It feels more moving this way.

[Shimus36]

For 2:51, I felt like I was warped back into Macalania Woods. Absolutely beautiful and soul-moving. Anyone who disagree does not deserve to be mentioned as a human being.

[jonny2005450]

@Shimus36 Ah, such a great song it is, is it not?

It is very different from any other song I've heard. You can't definitively define it.

[jobber2022497]

@Shimus36 What if I felt like I was warped back to the Kilika Woods, Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, or Gagazet cave instead? :P

Seriously, though, I associate this song with Macalania Woods as well -- even more than the actual "Macalania Forest" song. For me, it probably has to do with all the time I spent there for stuff relating to the Celestial Weapons.

[TeaTimeTwins]

@Shimus36 There's no being that could discribe it any better <3

[ivolol]

@Shimus36 Being able to disagree is what MAKES people human, dude

[DragoonA2]

This is incredibly beautiful, I feel that I could hear it over and over, the entire day and would not get bored.

Definitly better than the original and one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard.

Your adaptations are always great, you should get hired to make games and movies music.

[svitakblue26]

I can play this on guitar =D *brofist*

[xngr]

Memebase (Power Rangers video) brought me here - really great videos!

I'm especially delighted that you played this one, as it may very well be my favourite (do you australians write it with 'ou' like the british do?) piece of video game music...evarrrr!

I subscribed too, so keep making awesome videos!

[waem1]

1.45 to 2.09 was PERFECT PERFORMANCE

[Orusa13]

Love this song... You are really an amazing musician

[WhutThePhuq]

just a Teeeeeny bit slower, not so fast

[lara6683]

@WhutThePhuq this is my arrangement/interpretation of it.

[WhutThePhuq]

@lara6683 i figured that :) im not hatin i love it played either way. im just giving you advice, played a little bit slower would make it sound more elegant, it still sounds amazing though sorry bout the misinconvienance.

[EDGamesForums]

@lara6683 You are amazing Im amazed that you havent been hired by people for game / movie music! Your a very high class musician. I tip my hat to you.

[timerequios]

@lara6683 I have to say this is almost spot on in tempo except for one second but that isn't what matters you did a excellent job. Could you also play someday the dream will end from ffx as well i personally like that the best from ffx besides suteki da ne

[DjGambit1]

@lara6683 I like your interpretation of it.  Listening to it takes me to a happier place and time.

[Xxd3cayxX]

@lara6683 This is the perfect interpretation and when I hear this song, I hear it in my head the same way. LOVE IT

[XxTempuraRollxX]

You inspire me.... Just thought I'd let you know. :D

[Trudi54]

I love you.

[LadySaea]

Ahhh, this entire soundtrack is one of the best out there. Most of the music always give me shivers just due to the sheer beauty of the compositions and you definitely do it justice. Well done! ^^

[MMDbZgT]

F*ck yea! Awesome!

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

[Floobydustable]
