Cloud Smiles: Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children

[HolyBomb]

rip man . beautiful music , really.

[GrahamChapman]

... Why did he have to die? There! I asked the question many of us are/SHOULD BE asking... He had so many talents (and he was handsome to boot) and I'm sure he would've become well-known, perhaps even famous, if he had only been given the time...

For some reason, the only answer I can find to my own question is: He was too good for this sinful earth... And I'm not even religious.

[richmattgal]

Hey RK! Your piano playing and arrangement is superb! I enjoyed your tweaking of Cloud Smiles very much! The melody is there but you made it more grander! The journey of Cloud in FF7/AC all the way to his precious slight smile can make any robot shed tears! Thank you for your performance!

[OhBeast123]

brilliant, r.i.p

[kappagoddess]

So many have been blessed and touched by your musical genius. Even now I feel my eyes brimming with tears. My heart is filled with sadness. Such an amazing, wonderful man... May you rest peacefully.

[Sephiroth1646]

This is music from the depths of the human heart, a resonance of strings from within the human soul. Reuben channeled this through his fingers and graced us with the gift of his music for the short time he was with us. Rest forever in paradise Reuben.

[JokerSmith31]

u will always be missed for ur beautiful music and ur fantasic MUGEN creations

[JokerSmith31]

[Integritius357]

His story made me cry and I never even knew about him till I saw his stuff on youtube. A tragedy :(

[guayaba209]

anyway someone can get this song on a ipod for me'?

[Robzsz]

i want to cry...

It's wierd thinking those were HIS words that he typed in the video description, as if a mark left in history (or until the internet breaks).

[davetheblack]

Reuben Kee is one of the most talented pianists I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. I regret his loss. I am glad for whoever is keeping his account up. This recording always picks me up when I'm down. God bless Reuben and his family.

[robertogparada]

[SBYRD5x]

I wonder was this meant to happen. when I hear this FF7 song it reminds me of some past memories. sorta gives off the impression how things could've been and yet...here is a reality that reminds me of a paradise dropping...funny FF7 had some of the most motivating music...you know...for this individual i'll make a tribute to him...yes this individual has earned that right...I'm even getting teary eyed..man...no way...no fucking way....

[lovezoidberg]

Awesome, and I read he was a self-taught pianist!

[Rael0505]

Actually, his second cousin says his grandmother taught him.

RIP Reuben, I continue to listen to your music.

[ReubenKee]

He had a few formal piano lessons from his grandaunt. But Reuben learnt to play by himself on the Clavinova, mostly by ear.

....Reuben's dad who misses him every day

[Shoxy11]

RIP dude, why is it always the good-spirited ones who go first?

[viciousstrifeay]

because to die is just another step, and god wish them to be next to him. just they are called by god.

Reuben, i met your music the past year, and i was amazed, you'll be always here whit your music and with dragonclaw.

[Idontfearyou]

[ShadowReubenKee]

Greetings... all who have heard the sad news.

I came on here to confirm that the story about Reuben "Reu" Kee is true. I will continue to host Reu's site for all of you, as well as his musical section, nothing will change. Reu's greatest wish was to give people something different, to inspire with his music, and his incredible skill as a mugen developer. I spoke with Reu last Thursday about various things. This... this feels unreal. Rest in Peace my friend, nothing will be the same without you.

[roidsrage]

i m sure you are on clouds smiling at us.

[VergilDante100]

It won't matter if you won't update it, i will subscribe because i've been a fan for so long, rest in peace and your soul at ease.

[LonePianist3]

Reuben, I just heard about you on YouTube. I'm so entranced by your arrangement of Cloud Smiles right now. It's a shock to hear about the incident that happened...may your soul rest in peace.

And, I'm going to subscribe anyway.

[praine]

I am very sad that I wont able to listen to your music anymore.

[NightmareHitsugiKun]

[DMajorBoss]

You have such amazing talent, as this was a beautiful melody that you have brought forth. Be it song creation or character creation, your hands hold in them great talent and skill.

Thank you very much for sharing this with us all.

[TwilightTown]

Very nicely played. What arrangement is this though. Because you play it extremely fast. Just try to make your notes more clearer because it sounds like you are slurring them.

[OrochiWeapon2000]

How much more can a person can improve when they're already so good at what they do? You really are skilled at what you do, both with your Mugen creations and with your music.

[deadlokIV]

Nice...Just found your stuff via OCremix.

You're good, keep it up!

[kaiplak]
