[TouristTrophyRecord]

@danilogang è improvvisato e comunque è spettacolare.

[pkjdm]

Probably the best song of all final Fantasy's...

[williansensui]

YOU GOT TALENT!!! I'M IMPRESSED ^^

[PegRekab]

Beautifully played! And, a very difficult piece, it is.

[Grzesiu1206]

Holy crap! i just shit my pants! amazing! :D

[lloydSmith028]

I feel kinda hurt at Laura's idea of video game music...what, does she think its all rap and vulgar music with cursing and drug references? BAH! Video games are great and so is the music...I DEMAND YOU MAKE HER PLAY ONE!!!

[PhantomR32]

@lloydSmith028 Pretty sure she didn't mean it like that at all. lol Probably just thought it would sound like it did in the Atari days with just bleep bloop computerized sounds.

[thiagolovato]

Could you post the sheets for this music? Thx.

[magikonkuiz]

I cried.

[octoberasian]

This song always bring me to tears every time I hear it.

[espaulsen]

Ah, this really takes me back. Maybe my favorite game of all time. Need to find my Playstation.. Thank you very much! :) Keep it up!

[KingRangerLive]

Wow.... I love this song. It always brings tears to my eyes.

[thiagolovato]

Do you have the music sheet to share? I'm from brazil, and i thought that was amazing! Great Job!

[xarrox123]

Wonderful! One of my FFIX favs.

[TheDayspring777]

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine...

Very good performance. FFIX was one of the very first RPG's I played, and it holds my heart!

[ShowmusicLapland]

Really nice. I hope that everyone notice that videogames has such beautiful melodies. I have myself played video game music over 10 years or so with guitar and keyboard. Nice to see that ladies can enjoy those melodies as well even if most them call us nerds :) I like to say that in example the final fantasy series is like a interactive book. Great stories, touching moments with moist eyes :). But you seem to like those games or at least music because you play that violin such a passionate way.

[rockerguy4]

man i cant stop listening to this music ready replayed it like 15 times not joking i love how she playes you have a beatiful way of playing violin i wish i was as talnted as you so i can play this song

[cjshamrock]

so lovely... reminds me of the good old times

[iamthetie]

Absolutely beautiful playing. I never get tired of hearing this song. Thanks for sharing this with everyone :)

[genkisama23]

The piano's pacing was off at some parts, otherwise it's perfect.^^ I'm glad you showed her the beauty in video game music, because there's a common misconception among people of older generations that video games are just purely playing games and nothing more, which is why they can't take video games seriously. They don't realize video games can be very emotionally deep and engaging.

[genkisama23]

I watched all your square enix violin covers, and i saved this one particularly for last when i was almost done because this was the best and first FF theme that stole my heart. I was initially worried because the pianist didn't know the music by heart, and was only following the music sheet, so i wasn't sure if it would turn out smooth. There were a few mistakes on the pianist's part , but you did perfect on the violin as usual, so it's still all beautiful^^ Made me all nostalgic for ff9:)

[mitsuidewi]

Oh my god, the last time I heard this song was I think around 10 years ago...not sure though...

Anyway I'm so impressed, your songs make me so peaceful .

However on this one, it's funny, because you made mistakes, and I tell you, we can definitely hear them! lol, but you're impressive anyway !

thanks for all what you've done !

I look forward for a new video ! work on it please !

[sonambulosp]

I really should be doing other things right now... but I can't manage to stop listening and watching your videos! very well done!

[RoldaoKanon]

Our amazing it was too beautiful ... Their versions of the themes are pretty vocal.

Congratulations.

[npthedarkside27]

2 people have no melodie in there life. Pity them, for they can not truly enjoy this song...That, or while trying to press the like button 5million times hoping for its transformation into a "I FREAKING LOVE THIS VIDEO!!" button, they accidently

pressed the dislike button... Darn theyre lack of accuracy

[77Arcanos]

aweeeesomeeee!!! c_c

[vhayste]

I love this song and hearing it in violin/piano made me fell in love with it even more.

[bibleuptheass]

I would so stalk you on facebook. :pedobear:

[ShinobiSl4sh]

ahhhhhhhhhh that pleasant sound of crisp clear emotion flowing by notes into my ear sounds like a blessing from heaven :] very nice job expressing the song

[rydia90]

You're amazing <3

[starlighthime]

Every time that I'm feeling down for whatever reason, it's this video that I watch. And every time again, it fills me with great joy, knowing that someone as talented as you put real time and effort in getting this song perfect to the very last tune. I hope you'll continue with these beautiful pieces of art and make more people happy. You've definitely made my day.

I never really got to play more than 1 hour of FFIX but I always found Melodies of Life to an incredibly moving piece. You two certainly do it justice.

[f22ace248]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, melodies of life has been my all time favorite video game arrangement since i first heard it when i was 9 playing ff9. I remember I actually restarted my ps1 several times when that song came on so i could go through the cut scene with that playing to hear the song, this was before i knew about youtube XD Its been 10 years since then and i still love this song and now am trying to learn it on piano myself.

You nailed this piece, love it, keep up the good work.

Keep it up, I will subscribe to your channel riiiiiiiiight ... now!

[TranceAnton]

[eternaltwistoffate]

[darkn3ssjohn]

You are great, congratulations, you deserve it!

[Catalina72109]

Melodies of Life is my favourite video game song ever, and it lends itself perfectly to the violin. You both did a fabulous job.

[sharb97]

I LOVE YOU THIS IS AMAZING :) you play really pretty music...<3

[ViolinTay]

@sharb97 Lol thanks!

[terrachan]

... Nice but you are kind of speeding through it. Can you redo it please.

[darkgloomie]

pokefan17 6:59 pm XD

I dunno if you're flattered or what, but really, you made my day. It's been so long since i played this game, and it's really unforgettable to me. Thanks for sharing ^^^

[jackfalcon8]

I only create a Youtube account to thank you about the inspiration. Melodies of life is one of my childhood most favorite songs. You play with the heart, you put out your feelings in each song, it´s amazing, your notes come to me to the deepest of my heart. THANK YOU, continue to what are you doing, it´s magic. You had revived my most appreciate memories.

Sorry about my english, I´m from Argentina and it´s very difficult to make a decent text. =D

[ViolinTay]

@jackfalcon8 Thank you so much, I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much. Your English is fine, no apology necessary lol! Thanks again for the nice comment :)

[joakal14]

@jackfalcon8 I completely agree with you. this song is amazing, and she plays with such passion, it reaches into the very depths of my soul. many people can't see the beauty behind most video game music, but videos like this prove their beauty! Thank You ViolinTay for posting these! =)

[TouristTrophyRecord]

@jackfalcon8 i completely agree to your comment!

[Yoshsanz]

Perfect Performance!!!! Two Thumbs UP!!! Perfect Job!

[ViolinTay]

@alexjames83 Thank you, I've been playing for about 16 years

[alexjames83]

[chuulovegirl]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ! one of the most peaceful FF songs :">

[ViolinTay]

[edgarpugal]

Though at some points the violin goes off-tune. But EXCELLENT job, nevertheless!

And BTW, pretty violinist. Anyone agrees? :)

[ViolinTay]

@edgarpugal Haha yea not our best, I literally brought the music over to her that day and recorded without practicing through it, so could have been better. We've definitely said we need to redo this one :)

[CloudStriiff]

Maybe I'm repeating myself, baut that's some awesome work you did. Keep it up, Irealy wan't to see more of that talent ^^

[eliottish]

It's very nice, i love vry much this song. Thank you.

[ViolinTay]

@eliottish Thank you for watching, I'm glad you liked it :)

[ViolinTay]

Ok...haha I had no idea that I didn't edit out us laughing and saying "we gotta do that one again!" How embarassing haha! This was actually kind of a rushed job to be honest, I didn't know at the time that I was going to be able to play with Laura as often as I have, so we've since made this a lot better...I'm thinking about re-posting :)

[yingziwu]

Hey love the song. You don't happen to be able to send or link me to the sheet for the piano part do you?

[ViolinTay]

@yingziwu Sure I can send it to you
