"E-M" FFIX Stolen Eyes

[IbanezRocksEveryone]

i was just reading "stolen eyes" - no idea what this song was.

i heard the first note and you brought tears to my eyes..

thank you for this wonderful performance

[lonlonjp]

@IbanezRocksEveryone

i must say "Thank you!" for your encouragement :)

[runitecastle]

'tis foolishness. If all were so easy, why, none would suffer in this world

[MaybeFantasy]

Thanks for this wonderful performance. I just love it... so much.

[MayrisErin]

This piece is wonderful. n_n I want to know if I could use this for my FF9 fandub. If not, that's okay. Thank you for playing this song!

[FXVG]

It's the sign of a good composer to "mix" a main theme throughout all his songs for that game/movie, and usually you'll have another corrosponding theme of sadness/conflict which will be mixed in. So from two or more themes you get a whole bunch of other songs. This gives it continuity so people feel the music change, instead of just hearing the music change :) Anyway, good cover :)

[TsuNaru]

This song makes me want to cuddle under a starlit tree overlooking the peaceful serenity of nature. <3

[noutathewolf]

Another "Melodies of Life" spin off :) I love it! (Can't wait to hear your version of Treno..)

[reesheer1]

sounds really similar to melodies of life

[ary2000]

thats cause its got it mixed into it.

[KryptFriendz]

Melodies of Life is mixed into like half of the Final Fantasy IX soundtracks.

[murasuX]

im really like FFIX hahalol....nice play.....

[Stabmyback41]

A sweet song !! Thanks Maestro Lonlon.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video =D

[pieceofchunk]

one of the best FF songs ever.

Great job LonLon my friend,

may we hear freyas theme?

[lonlonjp]

Good suggestion!

i will try my best to meet your expectation.

if the result would be nice, i will upload it in a few days, if possible ^^

[pieceofchunk]

great, thanks alot!

[lonlonjp]

i have just completed your requested arrangement^^

[pieceofchunk]

great!!! I cant wait to hear it.

Your the MAN!!!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your nice suggestion, pieceofchunk i will upload it today!

[zinnie1024]

is it me, or is this close as hell to Melodies of Life? just in a different key perhaps? great playing, but it sounds too much like melodies of life to me

[deadpisser88]

It is a different arrangement of melodies of life. I guess he liked to play around with one piece and see what else he could do to it. Same was done with some pieces in Final Fantasy VI if you listen closely (especially Terra's theme).

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your remark.

you are absolutely right.

cheers

lon

[deadpisser88]

Magnificent.

Request: Kefka's theme. I'd (and others) would love to hear that. = )

[jsayaco]

hey dude. can you send me the tab of this piece of yours??

[gillesva51]

Very soothing arrangement and play !

Was nice listening to it. Thanks Lon :D

[rtol1993]

I wanted to start practicing this song right away! But I can't find the sheet/tabs for this song... And I can't figure the tabs out myself. :P But this really is awesome playing, keep posting! :D

[pinoytidus]

wow, i've never heard this version before. you are so talented. yet still i feel no jealousy towards you just happiness. and seeing you play these musical pieces makes me more determined to become a better musician.

[TarantinosMovies]

[MrBored321]

[lonlonjp]

Thanks a lot!

[yuna1987]

melody of life O_O nice play~

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video^^

[SconeRabbit]

Ah dude! I love this song! Keep up with Final Fantasy 9 if you can! =D

[dradl]

Thank you kind sir.

[drew1497]

Well if you're a serious classical player, you'll probably want to grow out your nails and smooth them with a nail file. If you're just doing classical as a hobby, then it's really not worth it because the long nails can get pretty annoying and you'll get asked alot about them. Yeah there's a huge difference though in tone if you grow out your nails. Up to you.

[Raymetrious]

Wah, first time i hear this song guitar version . Cool ..... oh yeah, do guitarist have to keep their nails long or short ? Classical and acoustic player

[SephCat74]

Well said. FF series does that all the time.

[pongopigmayiss]

I could listen to you play all day. This is one of my favorites from FFIX, and you played it flawlessly.

[pieceofchunk]

great job friend!! Can i request Freya's Theme?

[chinochocobo]

Another fav! I love it!

Thank you Sir lonlonjp :D

[moongleams]

your songs cheer me up ^_^

this was extremely wonderful:D

[Godofthemyths]

thanks lol i really only noticed it in this game...lol thanks

[pyropiss]

brilliant! simply brilliant! even mozart would bow down to this.

[starlightnight]

Stunning. No matter what you are playing, it gives me the chills. This particualr melody makes me want to cry, but that's okay. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[mizzissippiblues]

great playing lon

[Godofthemyths]

it is lovly as usual. Does anyone see the resemblance of this song to "Melodies of life. I noticed a lot of songs are similar in that game seemed to be kinda similar. am i the only one. Once again youve played a lovely song and done it well.

[jessehicks]

very pretty

[tommyk77]

Lon! I've missed so many of your videos recently. They are still very good, though. I need to catch up.

[fendermac]

Beautiful lon.I like the sound very much-quite dry and very immediate.*****

[RagingSeason]

absolutely beautiful Lon! I love it. You've inspired me to arrange certain final fantasy songs also and it's really helping. I guess I'd like to say thanks for the gorgeous arrangements and a special thanks for the inspiration =]. - Ducky

[AsakuraMyahle]

I'm playing FFVIII again solely because I heard your many renditions of FFVIII songs. Now, I want to play FFIX as well, thanks to this wonderful work!

[Csifresk]

fantastic^^

[999Morgoth999]

magic, very good arrangement, I can't understand how you doing

If I may do a request, I will purpose Dissipating sorrow (Final Fantasy IX) ^^

[KeunT4e]

Thanks !

Keun-Tae

[lonlonjp]

Happy birthday to KeunT4e! my friend ^^

[agr0285]

So nice, thx :D

[tossidin]

So amazing, I like this song more then melodies of life i think. Same basic song, but slower, easier and some unique parts.

Sounds beautiful, well done

[LoneCentrist]

Once again another great performance. Keep up the great work.

[Jualtair]

Truly beautiful! See you soon! :-)

[ChronospaceTrode]

its been a while since i played the game, where do we hear this nice relaxing song?

[ZerofactionWC]

Fantastic work. Absolutely no mistakes at all, was great to listen to :)
