"E-M" FFIX Freya's Theme

[venomousstring]

0:14 Eargasm

[schattnflamme]

Question? Have you ever met Nobuo Uematsu? You`ve should work together. :) FF 15: The Return of Life.. no voice actors. Just music and letters. Music is the language of life that everyone understand. In two years I will travel to Japan. I hope, I get a chance to listen to you in front of the Ghibli Museum. Thanks for all that life you`re playing... :)

[XxaroriaxX]

podrías hacer un cover de dion theme de lineage 2?

[thanatospharos]

i hope some day i can play the guitar like you so awesome

[CanadaGradeEh]

That is an amaaaaaazing guitar.

[tmork94]

Your Guitars sound perfectly fits this song! And its amazing how you can convey your love to music with your songs, im shivering every song of yours im listening to

[Juan0761mnml]

You make a very Good job whit the guitar men, Congratulations!

[ospatetasband]

It's the third time I'm replaying this, and I must confess that it's making me cry like a child... Great cover!

[DCLAN]

FFIX is by far my favorite game.

I've already learned frontier village dali from watching your videos, and I plan on learning most of them.

Keep up the great playing, I expect to see more from you

[gsckryptonite]

omg this song is one of my favorites, and you got it down so great. I really want to learn this song, on flute and guitar, and play it someday.

[shina405]

ギザマルークの洞窟ですね

初めてやった時、クイナ連れてなくて勝てなかったのを覚えてます­。

高い音も全く切れずに伸びてますね

ずっと聴いていても飽きませんよ

[101223]

@TisThePanda .. you are completely retarded

[JoeNoobie]

You're such a wonderful guitar player, the timing and everything seems just pefect. going to look and see if you got more spanish guitar you do it so well. very emotive.

[donutmike]

i love how great you are at guitar and that you have the time to read your fan's comments. its so nice

[lonlonjp]

@donutmike

Thanks for your compliment =D

i enjoy reading them in order to get some power to proceed further :)

[donutmike]

@lonlonjp

by the way is that a planet waves capo? if so i have the same one! yuss

[OrpheusTheBard]

@lonlonjp "i enjoy reading them in order to get some power to proceed further" haha, you reminded me of Goku charging up his genkidama with the people's help!

[lonlonjp]

@OrpheusTheBard haha^^

Tonight as well!

Thanks for your giving me power =D

[OrpheusTheBard]

@lonlonjp You're more than welcome! You know... you've given me *plenty* of power yourself ^^ I mean, I've played the piano for more than ten years and always loved it, but because of people like you and kabukibear, I recently got inspired to pick up the classical guitar too! I'm still a begginer, but every night when I return from work, I take out my guitar and try to practice a little. Frontier Village Dali, Coin Song, Breezy... Now I'm in love with the classical guitar too... ^^

[lonlonjp]

@OrpheusTheBard

i always respect piano works and a great pianist, including you.

i am subscribing you... now.

[OrpheusTheBard]

@lonlonjp Wow, thanks, that's really an honour, although I'm not quite sure I deserve it... :) Even though I play FF-like material 99% of the time, the only things I ended up recording for YouTube were pretty much some lead keyboard solos... And now I'm too busy to record anything, been idle for like a year. But I'll try to get back at it when things calm down! ^^

[Dunadan7]

I fucking love you!!! xD

Really nice, dude.

[PureVapor]

I can't describe the feeling that I get from this... other than an intense desire to listen more and more.

First FF game that I beat, and it will always stay close to my heart. :)

[JohnnyJvv777]

Incredible job m8 , the way you kept the essence / vibe of the song alive.

That takes skills, keep up the great job

Thx for the video :))

[brunolovetrance]

Adorei as musicas do clássico ff9 tocadas pelo longonjp recomendo a todos os fãs a ouvirem as versoes tocadas por este genio do violao classico

[0Grand0Masta0Ramen0]

your amazeing lonlonjp

[ReaperTheDragon]

i wish i was good at thes...

Btw and you have mady a remixes of Freya's theme

is the best i have see on youtube in long time

thanks...

[valcamas]

6 years after i finished the game, and i still miss this.

[tayrobinson123]

Too bad I never played FFIX to check the storyline matched the awesome music! :)

Very Good! :)

[sertaki]

i love this

[cloudi87]

Man i love your guitar... *sigh*

[mrtournament]

I love you

[rockleefan98]

I've been a huge fan of your music ever since I've heard u play. I was just searching for FF music and I found u, so I subscribed after hearing a few songs u played. And now I would like to make a request. Could u make a video of you playing Black Mage Village from FF9? Thanks for all of your hard work.

[Tikku4ever]

To be forgotten is worse than death

Very well done on this cover. It was amazing

[angelcupim]

oh dear god...

I can feel burmecia's heavy instopable rain right now...

O_O

[bulate0101]

I'm learning this arrangement..hehe

someone tabbed this and I found it..hehe..

but it's kinda hard for a beginner like me..hehe

[billylikenoodles]

amazing!

[ameagor]

that's on heckuva weeping guitar!

[KintarosTiger]

Had a dream about Freya last night/this morning (my sleeping cycles are weird), and as such decided to look for remixes of Freya's theme.

...I am astounded by how well-done this is. Many thanks.

[lonlonjp]

My pleasure ^o^

[sffc95]

@KintarosTiger

Lucky you I had a Zidane's/Garnet and a Steiner/Beatrix and I got the opposite ):

[xxAngelaaahxx]

I love your covers so much. I started playing FFIX again, thanks to you ^-^

[gumblebroo]

i love freya's theme :)

[gallantmon4]

does it have to be right handed? cause i've got a left handed one!

[lonlonjp]

i believe you can do it. it does not matter at all =D

[blastjournal]

inever thought of a language barrier ... i am completely flabbergasted andi think every note suits me .., thanx Freya

[blastjournal]

ben helemaal verbijsterd...Freya

[blastjournal]

EEEEeeeehm.....dank je wel ,

Freya

[PiKaStRo]

Ahhh... and my favourite song from FF IX....

[kakachi100]

great one of your best

[noutathewolf]

Hmm, I wonder if you have Eternal Harvest to go along with this one :)

You played Freya's theme very nicely ^^ I wonder how long it took for you to arrange it.

[Madeen1982]

"To be forgotten is worse than death."

[valcamas]

Something hard to forget..

(i still remember the scene)

aaaaahhh...brings back memories!!

[roshidon]

Sir Fratley...where art thou?

[pwongyo]

LOL i was just thinking that..!

[Kafkei]

amazing arrangement, theres even a website thats got this tabbed and is trying its best to tab the rest of his songs because they are so much better XD

....and they are doing a very good job of it =]

[takatakboy]

and what website would that be? can you please direct us all to it? haha

[spaghettihoz]

Do you have the tabs out somewhere like on ultimate guitar in the guitar pro format.

[vladpiranha]

Sir Fratley, you never came back........

[lordhelmet92]

@vladpiranha yes he did but he just didnt remember freya :D

[imakecrdbrdpaperguns]

I find this amazing.

I think it's really wonderful and the music from FF9 is really nostalgic for me.

A fantasic job on an amazing piece of music.

You did it justice. Keep going, i'd love to hear more from you!

[lonlonjp]

i will upload FFIV Battle Theme tomorrow ^^

[awesome87]

Have you tried playing this on a 12-string?

Okay, it's probably a bit too techinical to play on a 12-string guitar, but the extra strings would make this sound fantastic! As it is, it's a little bit hollow.

[mokori808]

lollon only needs 6 strings cuz he is just that good.

the audio quality of youtube is why highs and lows sound weird.

Only total n00bs would use youtube as an accurate representation of what his music would sound like in reality.

[awesome87]

I wasn't talking about the quality of the music, I was talking about the music itself. Obviously the original was written on a harpsichord, not to mention it's a polyrythmic melody.

I was just asking if he's tried playing it on a twelve string, to give the melody a bit of a fuller sound, but by all means, go misspelling fanboy on me.

I'm sure he needs some random Youtube commenter to defend him from the big bad people-who-suggest-things.

[lonlonjp]

i appreciate those support :)

[awesome87]

You're welcome.

[OceanAndSilence]

how would it be too technical? the notes on a 12-string are the same, they're just an octave apart

[awesome87]

It's a lot harder to finger-pick two strings at once, than it is one.

Most twelve-strings are played primarily as a rhythm instrument.

[OceanAndSilence]

i find it pretty simple...

[DiFFicult0CURE]

Now, this sent shivers down my spine! I like the fact that ffix music is very good for playing with the piano and the guitar. You totally captured the feeling. Freya is great~

[lonlonjp]

Thanks DiFFcult0CURE for watching my videos ^^

[tokutei]

You did a really fantastic job here. :) This is such a beautiful song! Freya's Theme is easily one of my favorite Final Fantasy tunes, so it makes me really happy to hear someone cover it as well as you did.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video and your comment ^^

[pockectasian]

Awesome dude! Got chills listening to your epic music! XD Happy to accidentally stumbling onto your music. =)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks very much indeed for your finding this video among the vast sea of YouTube ^-^

i really appreciate your comment =)

cheers*

lon

[MaliceBloodlust]

This is my favorite song from this game

[jozez333]

Wow! You transposed that great from harpsichord to guitar.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video ^-^

[magaman11]

*content sigh* Amazing. You captured Freya's theme perfectly. I can still see when they are in the rain in Burmecia. The depressing moment when she is reunited with her love. Thank you so much for the amazing display of art through music.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for posting your nice comment on this video =D

cheers

lon

[magaman11]

Thank you for being an amazing guitarist.

[lonlonjp]

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video ^-^

i am proud of your comment =)

cheers

lon

[Dan1loBr]

Just to retificate, this can be also be called A Face Forgotten, which is also Freya's Theme...

How I like it...

[utunnels]

Isn't that "A Face Unforgotten"(忘れられぬ面影)?

That piece is a remix of Freya's Theme(I can't tell, they only differ in instruments).

[HowdyAntti69]

Oh, you had another black guitar! This one got nice logo :)

I find playing this one really hard, Maybe i should pratice some more..

[HowdyAntti69]

Oh just realised that this guitar is probably older, You play you're newest song with that other black guitar :)

[Mammonthdesu]

i really enjoy this song and you did it

thanks, maybe i'll try to record some final fantasy stuff...

thanks lolonjp!

[mykemztr]

It's really amazing the way that you arrange the song to play all the voices =D, you are amazing lonlonjp

Gratz form Portugal ;) (really far xD)

[crazyneji666]

great song i would love to hear oeilvert on guitar

[kragle2008]

:D seriously every video makes me fall in love with final fantasy music all over again. please make an album of some kind lonlonjp :) i will gladly pay for it.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your encouragement^^

i would like to make one someday in the future, if possible :)

[FimbulDragoon]

Man, I've been checking your videos for a while not~ But didn't notice you did Freya's theme up till now, somehow must've always missed it.. But damn man this just made my day xD

It's like my favorite song on the entire set Nobuo did for 9~

Cheers man! Keep up the awesomeness!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video^^

cheers

lon

[Tollomeos]

wow thats cool very good

[lonlonjp]

Cheers*

[veryWELLandU]

wow super! I really appreciate your arrangement style. this is one of the best songs from ffIX. actually, they are all great songs, that was a great game overall. I really liked your choice of guitar for freya's theme The clearer harsher sound it creates as well as the quality of the resonation really brings out the expression of mystery and sadness that the your other guitars would not. timbre, thats the word.

ps. i like the inlay on the neck. it's cool.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your nice comment^^

[amygdala]

LOVELY! Freya's song is so sad!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video, amygdala^^

[Fujikaya]

[lonlonjp]

Thanks^^

the magic has been embedded within the music, i arranged and played as i felt accordingly

[endurethedarkness]

Oh my God...

This is amazing...

And not just this, but every one of your videos..

You're one of the best guitarists I've ever seen/heard. Keep it up!!!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video and your nice comment^^

[aquamarine37]

this is beautiful. Freya's character has this clash of hope and despair which your guitar skills justify. i'm in awe.

Glad to hear this masterpiece, thanks a lot :)
