  • wow really fits beatrix's character ^_^

  • This is very well done and is well sung. I never thought someone would make fan lyrics for this music. The lyrics really fit for Beatrix and how she feels about her self and her loyalty to the queen and princess. The song is very good and fits perfectly. Great work!

  • What's so great about this?

    The lyrics are FAN MADE!

    If they ever made a FF9 remake this could go great in it.

    It follows the feelings of Beatrix and keeps the feel of the original score.

  • Pure. Talent. If I hear a remix of "Unrequited Love" from you (the theme of ruined Alexandria), I'm just sold.,,,

  • When your hair is silver white,

    And your cheeks no longer bright,

    With the roses of the May,

    I will kiss your lips and say,

    Oh! My darling, mine alone, alone,

    You have never older grown!

    Yes, my darling, mine alone,

    You have never older grown!

  • very nice :3 you have my stamp of approval but small critisism is that it could have been better :3

  • Excellent lyrics, though I'm disappointed that it's not your musical work... However I will compliment your cadence at the 3:50 mark...

    good work

  • Percentage of accidentally pressing the dislike-button among human race is approximately 0,01%. This is a fact, since even the stupidest man on earth will appreciate this magical piece of music.

    This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

  • Now, if you team up with Laura Shigihara, you would make the best song the world has seen.

  • I have to say, the beauty of this song, combined with the memories of such an epic game, create an awesome feeling of epicness.

    Gotta love this.

  • Final Fantasy IX is the best Final Fantasy. : - )

  • It is frankly amazing you did that. My most sincere congratulations. I just love this song.

  • and finally the "and you said break free from all that holds you kings hand and maiden's tear

    run now into my arms together we'll conquer our fears" part perfectly reflects her relationship with Jaime, and how Brienne must overcome the loss of both Renly and Catelyn. xD Gosh, I'm such a nerd.

  • I know it must sound tedious but the more I listen to it, the more I associate it with Brienne xD The lines "So I might once again see the Roses of May" and "I'm no longer a Rose of May", the Rose of May is King Renly, whom she loved but was never loved, and "The red on my hands won't wash away" fits her being accused of killing King Renly thus no longer been from his Rainbow Guard/a Rose of May (continues)

  • I am currently reading A Song of Ice and Fire and I must say this song reminds me of Brienne of Tarth as much as it reminds me of Beatrix.

  • Thank you for posting such beautiful songs. It is very heartening to know there are people like you that believe in the art of others. I hope you will continue to post many more beautiful songs in the future.

  • your lyrics and Beatrix's character inspired me to write a short story. thank you for that :)

  • @bewbewbew37 Do you have that story posted online? I would love to read a short story inspired by this song!

  • how comes that justin bieber has a contract and she doesn't?

  • wow die stimme you a wonderful

  • Absolutely incredible. Your lyrics are as beautiful as your singing.

  • Oh my god, this is wonderful.

    ;~; Thank you for adding beauty to my day.

  • you have a very beautiful voice :) ur lyric are very very great and fit vry nice to the music piece :) keep makeing lyrics because you are good :)

  • Whatever you did with this scoring is brilliant in all aspects. And I love the lyrics as well as your voice. 

  • You know, Final Fantasy IX was one of my favorites and this song, well I probably spent over 30 game hours listening to it on the airship. Honestly, I think Beatrix as a character would have been honored to have this song written by you. It's beautiful absolutely beautiful and so fitting for her. I think it captures her perfectly. You truly have a talent.

  • just one symbol "!"

  • Awesome!!!!!

  • Very beutiful. If they would ever HDremake FF9, they should have this for at least a few of the times this song plays.

  • wow super awesome!

  • Today I am meeting to talk with my ex and I was losing my mind with worry but this song and your voice helped to calm me and for that I thank you =)

  • @shubert720 I hope it goes well

  • the only default of this cover is that the sound is really low

    I need to up the sound at max to ear somthing....

  • Very impressive.

  • Amazing song*

  • why dont they have beatrix at dissidia? =(

  • @sulukong896 cause she's unimportant for the story and not truely evil.

  • @sulukong896 cuz there are too many knight type characters on it now

  • Beatrix killed 100 hundred knights single handed and your next you 78 haters.

  • Just one word:

    Awesome!

  • im your fan... your really made a beautiful work.. congratulations =)

  • @katethegreat19 : Really interesting arrangement!! I like it!! Your voice sounds sometimes strange(don't know how to call these "breaks" in your voice) but this is really interesting!!! Please, check out my channel, some others FF piano arragements are coming soon!! Maybe we could work together someday! Cheers from Paris!!!

  • Just recently came across your work. I'm so used to hearing the upbeat tempo of "Protecting My Devotion," and your slower and more deliberate arrangement just about broke my heart, it touched it so close. Extremely well done, especially the original lyrics.

  • You know they sometimes play this on the Final Fantasy Radio in japan. Dude,you are awesome!! I love this song. <3

  • J'adore Oo' <3

  • Wow, this is really good, you have some talent there, keep them coming :D

  • I think what never fails to impress me is your dedication to the instrumental base and the layered vocals. Fantastic vocals throughout the choruses.

  • I'm just amazed from this song. I love love this!

  • Fuck...I cried.

  • this is one of the most amazing things ive ever fucking heard. YOU. ARE. VERY. VERY. TALENTED.

  • @HeroBragma

    I was about 5 years old when I had Final Fantasy 9. I used to pretend I was Zidane and steal stuff like erasers from school.

    I remember asking my dad to buy me Army Men for the PS1, but when he brought home Final Fantasy 9 instead, I was confused. I didn't understand it or the reason why there are 4 discs, but about two years later, when I could understand a little moe I decided to play it properly.

    Since then, it has been my favourite game and always will be.

    Brilliant game.

  • @Jonny123898 Almost the same with me here. I palyed it when i was 7 then got bore of it and played it again when i was 10 and completly understood it and beat it and fell in love with it and final fantasy 13 made me rage a square enix for even trying to make something that bad.

  • @Jonny123898 This game is near and dear to my heart as well. It's easily my favorite Final Fantasy game. It was the first game in the series I played and beat. The characters are (mostly) all fleshed out as the story progresses, and the plot, while somewhat cliche (all the main games involve saving the world, after all), is nonetheless presented in a fresh and original manner.

    Add to that a great soundtrack, of which Kate has done marvelous arrangements of...need I say more?

  • @Shadohime

    Yeah the only Character you never really understand is Quina.... in which who cares anyway?

  • Really liked the hauntingly bard-like and faintly optimistically tone you gave the piece! You're another inspiration I'll draw upon for some of my own projects I'll be working on this winter. 'Course, your lovely voice helps things along. I'll have to make do with the voice I was given (a paltry comparison XD). In any case, I think this came out great! I'll keep an eye out for new things you post!

  • my right ear is a bit lonely .___.

  • Omg...... The Nostalgia. I do not want to live in the world anymore. If I was granted a wish, I would probably wish that I could go back in time. A time that I would not have to worry about anything, A time that would allow me to be a kid again. D:

    Beatrix... FTW

  • I honestly don't know the story behind this, but I love every second of it~ :3

    and

    Haha I was born May 1st! xD

  • It is absolutely beautiful! you are very talented...it is somewhat prophetic and intriguing, I also got chills, the words and music are powerful!!! WOW, thank you <3

  • Wow! This is simply amazing! :O

  • I wonder how you aint famous... but in a way you are with us and I am happy you are able to still remain close enough to us to share this stuff on here~

  • Wow... Like the billionth time already I listened to this... and just now I took meaning to a few more lyrics and certain ones related to what I was thinking before and it consoled me a little. You're so awesome... and since I cant record myself... could you do a cover I wrote to an instrumental? And I usually have trouble with putting a song I already wrote to lyrics I made from my head. XD It's weird

  • I think the story of a RPG like Mass Effect is comparable to FF games, though it lacks the traces of fantastical childlike innocence that the FF stories pre-12 (or was it pre X-2?) had. Nostalgia or not, there were not a lot of games that compared to FF6-10, then or now. That's why we call them 'great.'

    Also, I love this song, though I'm sure I've said that at some point in the past. It has actually inspired me when it comes to writing, so yay. Keep making beautiful music.

  • Oh my god.. Your voice braught the to a greater meaning, understanding came clear to me... ~ Plainly outshining the core of music itself...~ I bow to thee~ <3

  • I'm a huge fan of all your work, but this one speaks directly to my heart. I am a woman in the military and the lyrics you so masterfully wove for this piece are completely and utterly perfect. From putting on the mask and going where they ask and wondering if the war-ridden trail will stain your innocence. Beautifully done, thank you.

  • Are you playing harpsichord in this?

  • It just occurred to me that, aside from it simply being a beautiful song, I also love this because of my strong attraction to things which I find novel and this may be the first time I've run across something which succeeds at combining strong themes of femininity and military duty.

    Heck, even attempting such a thing almost never seems to happen and that really saddens me because it makes female characters as a general category feel that little bit more stereotyped and cookie-cutter.

  • Not only beautiful, but addictive. This is the second song you've done which I've been listening to over and over (the first was "You're not Alone").

    Bravo!

  • hey..... I think I broke the repeat button.....

  • @HeroBragma Agreed ha, Things were sooo much simpler back then. Video games in general were better. Granted the graphics weren't as great but they made up for it ten fold with the story line!! There has not been a game that has been able to capture my attention like the older FF series SINCE I WAS KID. Only thing I moderately enjoy playing is SKYRIM. But i beat the main story line in a day and a half lol wtf!?

  • @darylguitar21 Your comment is dripping with bias from nostalgia. 

  • @darylguitar21 The game is meant as an open world RPG. I'd say that over 90% of the content is side quests. It is so the player can enjoy the game without worrying about the main story if they choose. Yes the fate of the world hangs in the balance, but there are still other things going on in the world. I will however agree that Skyrim's main story can't hold a candle to the story of many PS1 RPGs. The guild stories also weren't as good as Oblivion's either imo.

  • damn im addicted to ur voice, its just soo beautiful

  • @HeroBragma

    Man you articulated everything that scares me about my future.

  • Hey Kate would you mind I I did a cover of this? If I actually do it good I might put it on YouTube, and if I do that I promise to credit you. Sorry it's just an amazing song :)

  • Want SSA sheet music for my choir OMG.

  • You really ARE Kate the Great ;D

  • A beautiful tribute to a great character.

  • Kate again..your voice is incredible.and for those of us who have to wear such mask .this song is wonderful..yeah Thank you Darlin'

  • i have a serious question for you! are you an angel?

  • this chorus is really addictive

  • @HeroBragma i could cry&die for any songs/theme's out of FF IX, ur comment so true, as FFVIIYin sais you nearly spoke the words, the feelings, right out of my heart...

    rly got tears in my eyes...

    nostalgie pur... :(

  • i use to be a great singer like her, but then i took an arrow to the knee!

  • Bad ass. ;)

  • I listen to this a lot. Just today I used my headphones to drown out some noise outside and I noticed the second softer voice you sing with under the chorus. :D Its so pretty.

  • Amazing...

  • also do you like anime

  • what happend to your eye?

  • @deidararockslove she took an arrow to the knee

  • Hi Kate :) Your voice is amazing. Would it be okay if I used this song for a video i am making? I will give all credit to you. This song is beautiful and touches my heart.

  • I don't know if this matches the beauty of the original but it comes pretty close. Awesome job =)

  • I love you

  • I've never heard somethin' like this before! WONDERFUL! :)) <3

  • it's lovely, brava. Please do continue, would love to hear more. ^.^

  • @HeroBragma Being an adult has nothing to do with growing up. If you wish for the adventure of your youth you need only seek it out.

    Life is more about being happy than working to survive.

  • wow very good nice song!

  • I love this tune :) Good work on writing the lyrics for it :D It sounds beautiful. Flawless. I miss the old final fantasy games. For me 9 was the best - great storyline, perfect characters, never wanted to put it down, so emotional.... This makes me want to go and play it again. Beatrix was always one of my favourite characters probably from the moment she beats you at the end of disk 1. Such a good game.

  • @HeroBragma This is why I'm getting into the gaming buisiness. :D

  • o listed to this melody from FFIX,over and over again.... one in my FAV list.... i never dreamed that someone could write lyricks and match so flawlesly(dont mind my grammar) :)

  • @HeroBragma you may have wrote this 2 weeks ago,but i read it just now,sooo.... i think you overreacting,but then again... i had the same feeling about FFVIII :D.... squarenix do know how to make kids out of kids... instead of final,they made the ONLY fantasy :).

  • I hate Beatrix but i like her at the same time

  • These lyrics and the song are just incredible, it does great justice to the original song, so very good job!

    All these pictures of Beatrix made me realize something, Lightning in Final Fantasy 13 is tooooooootally based off Beatrix. Maybe not 100%, but really damn close. If this isn't all that new to the internit I'm gonna end up feeling really awkward.

  • @aleks11321

    Actually the creators say that when designing Lightning, they wanted to make a female version of Cloud XD

  • @horrorvictim She honestly seems more like Beatrix to me. Then again I don't have much love for Cloud so I could be in denial haha

  • Simply astounishing. Congrats!

  • @HeroBragma , you wanna re-live Final Fantasy IX? Well, in that case you gotta use an emulator, there is no other way these days I'm afraid.

  • @alexis9000 Purchase it off of PSN for $10? That's what I did and let me tell you, those graphics in HD are just... aweful, not good at all, but the game is so worth it.

  • @aleks11321 well, yeah, but seriously, I normally buy extras for my PS3 games, more than PS1 games on PSN

  • @alexis9000 well I might consider buying this game next time I receive a box of Euros for PSN, tough.

  • 77 people listen Justin Bieber

  • @buby8992 lmao

  • This puts chills up and down my spine whenever I hear you sing this! Fantastic

  • this song, the singing. Oh man. So many emotions. This is a piece of art.

    Thanks a lot.

  • Awesome! Am I the only one hoping a reimagining of the black mage village theme is somewhere in the pipeline?

  • 77 people prefer quina 

  • @HeroBragma This game was a big inspiration to me when I was younger too. And now what? I grew up, studied books in school, and got the job of my dreams. If the best part of your life is a video game, you only have yourself to blame. You can be so much more than what you are. Go out and embrace how good adulthood can really be.

  • @HeroBragma You nearly spoke the words right out of my heart

  • Beautiful... Beatrix...

    Fits her soo well..

  • Beautiful - it's all what I have to say

  • You have made​this music so beautiful and sweet, even more magical and perfect. FF9 <3

    ...anyway your voice is always beautiful..

  • Still gives me goosebumps. Simply amazing!

  • your voice is so beautiful,and the song is so beautiful

  • Beatrix. From the moment I saw her and witnessed her character I knew she was tortured soul. The theme in her battle music against her, her alliance with the main group and Garent, he love for Steiner, He was the character I wished I could used throughout the entire game.

  • impressive, may your gift bring joy to this fallen world

  • *Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap*

    100% amazing job. PERFECT!

    This is my favorite FF game :).

  • You are truely amazing!!!!

    (76/6919)

  • Descendant of true Muses?

  • amazing job on the lyrics....

  • very talented woman

  • You're amazing! I don't know who this character is, or FF9, but this is still amazing and made me tear up.

  • Kate! You are amazing! Suggestion? You should do a cover for My Love by Sia. You'd be great at that.

  • Can I use this song in a video I am making for youtube? It is absolutely beautiful!

  • You, Madame, Are simply mind blowing. Thank you so much for the beautiful lyrics! And you don't have to hope for anything, you definitely succeeded. :)

  • I love it

  • I've been singing this all day long. In the shower, at school, while doing homework. I can honestly say that Kate Covington is my favorite singer in the world <3

  • Marry me *w*

  • y is she wearing a bandage?

  • Comment removed

  • @Alagsandra

    ....Cause she has no Eye there?...

  • @Alagsandra Beatrix is a General. In medieval setting, this equates to a lot of combat. A scar or two is no surprise.

  • If there would be an FF9-2, you should be both the game's co-composer and singer

  • 遊んでた当時を思い出して涙腺が緩みました。
