Final Fantasy VII - Aerith's Theme (Piano Collections)

[090SUPERAWESOMEUSEr8]

Nice i like the song

[frenchhy]

this song and a few other ff7 even the ffx themes are literally the only thing that can calm me down. i play the games an it makes me a better person idk why but im usually filled with hate and harsh judgment but hearing this just makes me smile.

[killerown66]

when this happened i started hating sephiroth alot

[TaeOfTheHorde3006]

This makes me wish I hadn't quit taking piano lessons.....

[heitff]

Final fantacy music is the best music in the world! <3

[SirJohnDory]

[DivinusCustos]

You made me cry... Awesome

[Fcbonaccia1]

GREATTTTTT!!!!!!

[MVProductions3]

How could someone dislike this! I suppose it was how it was note perfect and played amazing!

[schickification]

Everytime i hear this song i get teary eye'd...

Well done :)

you've brought joy to my heart :)

[yuribarsotti]

PERFECT *O*

[Benjy2Delta]

Yes! Fancify those luscious hands! FABULAFY THE WORLD WITH YOUR FLAMBOYANT WAVING ARMS! So scrumptious! uh!

[Sybibi9]

Can someone explain me why 38 peoples don't like this ?

[tikku77andahalf]

@Sybibi9 Maybe I should go ahead and say Sephiroth went to the trouble of making 38 accounts to dislike with?

[Sybibi9]

@tikku77andahalf It's probably :) 

[FinalxImp4ct]

So many memories... Fellow fans of Final Fantasy 7, time flies doesn't it? Everything was so simple when this game came out. Its dark and sad how much time has went by, but when we have artists like these replaying those memories for us, nothing the world throws at us can keep us down (:

[MoOnrai1]

Brav The Fuck O. God Damn

[TheFallenxLullaby]

Bravo, I just got Teary-eyed :-

[sensesfailxkelly]

This mine and my boyfriends song may I say you played that amazingly, what grade do you think this I would love to surprise him with this ff piece

[ih8stuff3]

I'm online a lot, ok...a whole lot. This is one of the most magnificent things I've seen in a long time. Superb talent, excellent interpretation, and remarkable execution. Well done.

[xXVicious1120Xx]

I love the the game as much as the music in it. I've actually started learning it just by watching you're video.

[GermainSR]

it feels so surreal...

[MrLeMaker]

Again and again i cry of this beautiful theme ... ;)

[eljames2011]

god bless you hands ;)

[Hanzo195]

Oh men, Jenova battle and Aerith death scene :(

[ElPianoDeTemari]

My Gooood...

[mikaniscool]

I'm not really a fan of Cloud w/ Aeris (sorry) but everytime I hear this song it makes me

sad because of how aeris died. I remember this song played after aeris got stabbed in the back

by sephiroth and exactly as the white materia fell on the ground the song played. That scene

made me sad :(

[Iceni77]

We can all laugh at the funny stuff on Youtube. We can be a irrational in our politics as we have been.. but in the end, here we are. A love and admiration for what really matters on youtube.

[yanos626]

3:07 impact gives me chills

[24okay]

i feel like I can't play this song because I have small hands... :-(

[24okay]

I'm probably going to sound like the biggest pansy in the world... But seriously, when I hear Final Fantasy music like this, I dunno why, but I get teary eyed...

[24okay]

@24okay I guess because a part of me hates life, but at the same time, I know it's all going to end. So I ask myself, Would I be able to hear such beautiful songs as this on the other side? It makes me think more than I should.

[lohr187]

@24okay No, it is beautifully composed...I always loved this piece. Nobuo Uematsu was amazing in creating this work, as this guy is amazing at performing it.

[frenchhy]

@24okay i will miss music when im in hell aswell my friend.

[danielvutran]

@frenchhy I'm going to quote you for the rest of my life, frenchhy.

[scarlethati]

is this hard for a beginner?

[24okay]

@scarlethati Yes it is

[firetyrex]

my girl friend just put the video on facebook. She loves this shit.

I m gone learn it and play it to her by surprise. Hope she ll cry haha.

[tokemoke]

This performance is awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing your motivating talents with Mr. Nobuo's

masterpiece.

[tutankhamunkey]

Amazing, executed perfectly.

[ariesleao]

This just makes me hate Sephiroth so much more....

[doktorsteiner]

nobuo uematsu would be proud of you!

[happierteardrop]

i havent attended any musical school, i also havent known all the inventions of bach. I am just a simple human being with a simple mind. however, it doesnt mean my heart can not feel the songs. do we need to be educated properly by a musical school to be able to listen to music? i think we dont. i think we just need a good heart to feel. and that was the reason i liked this.

[metalgunjee]

Beautiful it may be, but after around 2:30 or so the timing/tempo is badly off.

[matush3ck]

@metalgunjee What???? The timing and tempo is absolutely perfect man

[metalgunjee]

@matush3ck Believe me I'm not knockin' it. But there definitely is a couple spots where the timing goes astray. As a whole it's a beautiful piece and I love it, just making an observation. Consult the FF VII soundtrack and you'll hear what I mean.

Great stuff regardless.. I started replaying FF VII again because of this. I always had a soft spot for Aeris. <3

[jk0745]

@metalgunjee there are multiple versions of this song....

[OneHeartOneLovex]

At the end, I almost felt like applauding. Beautifully played!

[Legendofmania]

Well i was (/still am) uploading FF VII sounds while i saw your video as a suggestion... *_* Amazing playing!

[classicUG]

I posted an arrangement of this on violin tell me what you think!

'Aerith Theme FF7' for Violin Piano and BooBass

[beiberhaterXX]

Be they real or fictional, some stories become a part of our lives, and shape who we are. Sometimes it's a song or character, sometimes it's a memorable line that resonates with that part of us which was brought out, and reminds us of the lessons we learned.

"Remember the good, and the true." FF1 ending credits

[AdamantFlame]

38 ppl should shove a chocobo up their ass

[Guilherme213037]

Incrível melodia...

[090SUPERAWESOMEUSEr8]

Brings tears to my eyes :')

[gearsofcake12]

Breath-taking.... Just absolutely beautiful. No other words.

[Vincent3095]

[MrPilotRose]

[Lissa0105]

[Lissa0105]

[DarleneGee]

[darkmrpopnfresh]

[Mercury515]

GOOSEBUMPS

TEARS

I'm so sad. Well done

[guitarAddictist]

I feel so relaxed right now... this song is like magic

[MegaDjEros]

even my nipples chikenskinned at 3:14 lol

[nomunomunomuchua]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

why ???

of all the music I've ever heard

THIS MADE ME CRY ALWAYS

......> what's the hidden meaning behind this music?

[BaseCurves]

@nomunomunomuchua

Bach discovered that musical notes have physical bearing on the creativity within a human mind. That's why music today isn't really music at all.. Just monotonous beats/notes with no meaning put forth with some weak to ok poetry. Btw, Kepler proved Bach's theories by relating the ratios in the 12 note scale to the speeds in which the planets travel at each specific point of their orbits. So next time they say it's all chaotic and there's no truth. Ask em why the truth hurts.

[QuantumLeap365]

@BaseCurves That sounds really interesting... Could you recommend any reading? or maybe a class to take?

[BaseCurves]

@Quantum

Kepler's "uniquely original discovery of universal gravitation" is in his text, Harmonies of the Worlds.

Bach's discovery is really only evident in the musical revolution of his followers like Beethoven-Haydn-Mozart-Schuber­t-Brahms. Each piece can tell a relative but different 10000 page novel for every person. Just like one's speculation of classically composed poetry or paintings. Einstein said he used his violin to inspire his mind into adducing discoveries (relative, isn't it?)

[BaseCurves]

@QuantumLeap365

Btw, there is no class for this.  I'm going to msg you privately with more when I can. I've got a busy day tomorrow and I just got back from the office. Truthfully speaking, even though it needs to be heard I'm scared of posting too much of this publicly because it's the kind of truth that gets people killed in their sleep. Basically, man's willful creativity is what separates him from the animals and it's the best kept secret in world history.

[nomunomunomuchua]

@BaseCurves

You're certainly correct.

Some music nowadays rely on the tune not in the message.

Anyways, this music soothes my mind.

[BaseCurves]

@nomunomunomuchua

Ohh and if you couldn't see the answer to your statement in that... It brings on tears for me because this song brings me back to a better, err... younger/easier time, and also to the sadness of a death of someone dear to you, just as the composer intended.

[nomunomunomuchua]

@BaseCurves

This song brings back memories.

[zeidane21]

I can't help but be moved by this music. In 30 years of living I ahve never haerd a more beautiful peice of music.

[wenhuiisgod]

WHERE WHERE WHERE the scoreee whereeeeeee!!!!!!!?

[sirshagsalot36]

@wenhuiisgod /ffmusic.ffshrine.org/ff7sheet­/ff7-sheet-music.php

[Nit996]

@Arkton do you still exist? you havent released anything new for a long time. it would be wonderful to see you release some more piano covers because they are truly beautiful and you have real talent.

[FlaccidSWE]

In all honesty, isn't this the greatest piece of music ever written?

[50401481]

OMG! That's sooo adorable!! I wish you could provide a HQ-MP3 of that.

[someuglybirdie]

how long does it take to learn this song?

[TheScariffkid]

I once had a polyphonic ringtone of this and was abroad in spain on a youth exchange, basically some girls hijacked my phone and played my ringtones and came across this. I can remember them saying "How beautiful" in their spanish accents

[LestatDeBratPrince]

this piano cover hits you where it matters. <3 

[gelumbauskas]

You played it beautifully...

[otakustrife]

this song actually brought a tear to my eye. you can feel the passion and the soul put into this song

[LaMissAuKeffieh]

Splendid. ! :')

[GatoSquadInc]

If the whole world listened to this, there will be peace.

[raz585]

@GatoSquadInc Totally agree

[happyduke99]

@GatoSquadInc Do you mean there will be peace or there will be piece?? ^_^

[delia85275]

Such a beautiful sound

[Frankinberry127]

Beautiful.

[Annexy26]

Makes me sad this song, i trained Aerith so hard to the point i almost had her last limit and when she got killed i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[tsunaderylocke]

raaaaaa man u have a gift and i rate u 5 stars 4 doin dat!!

[kingdomhearts4th]

beautiful, nice work, still trying to master this.

[matush3ck]

When I first played FF7, I thought Sephiroth was cool.....until he killed my dream woman, Aerith. Fuck you Sephiroth you piece of shit

[Thor82]

@matush3ck i believe FF7 is such a beautiful game that people who do not know it shouldn't have it spoiled.

[Carlosafm7]

38 people cannot be human or at least have some serious mental disorder and should seek immediate help.... HItting the dislike bottom??? how could you?

[Nekac1]

Aerith .. I miss you so much <3

[UngodlyFreak]

If you have played FF7 and don't shed a tear every time you hear this tune, go kill yourself, because you have no soul

[BeyondEProductions]

@UngodlyFreak Either that, or we're just stunned by how beautiful this is. Myself, I completely forgot I was in my room listening to this. This is so well played, and the original is so well composed it just makes me feel in a whole other place...

[sliPPytoAD222]

@UngodlyFreak i agree i use to weep to this song but i just think of the amazing story of this game instead of depressing thoughts now :) so Aertith RIP

[CloudRamone]

hum..

nice nice!

beatiful

[jonny5312]

did enyone else not even dare touch your controllers buttons when cloud was standing there ... lifting his sword ...

[Jormungandr69]

You are a great player, but you need a sustain pedal badly

[zellable]

una de las mejores canciones como el juego

[MegaJ0sh]

i had never heard this song before but i just got the sheet music for it and now am going to learn it......but this is a lovely peice and hopefull i will be abel to give it the same amount of feeling as you

[exppresso]

unlike Tifa's theme

only this one can make me cry T_T

[graybert78]

I'm not afraid to admit that this song makes me cry like a baby.

[IoIGinful]

when i saw Aerith death scene, i was not cry

but that day, i didnt smile

[xeroixix123]

I`m imagining whats Aerith`s doing now.... it had been so long ago.........

[mbiel002]

38 people are Shinra!

[broadmoorrules]

for my funeral this will be played by my sister and on my tombstone it shall read as follows: Here Laid To Rest Our Love Ever Longed any thoughts please comment

[jarhead4214]

@broadmoorrules what if you outlive your sister? Just a thought.

[lohr187]

You are absolutely amazing, played that beautifully.

[sachiraa]

You could almost press the dislike-button because it´s so sad. I really shouldn´t lissen to this, it brings me in such a mood I can´t do anything else!

[DiMMi1987]

FF VII - Best Game EVER!

[spicyaltoids]

Absolutely incredible.

[Frnkgrimes]

Ridiculous.  Bravo.

[girtidus]

j'ai des frissons partout !!!

[finalfantasygirl369]

i love this song. it makes me cry everytime i hear it. :( becuzze it reminds me aerith is dead. why did she have to be killed?! anyways, the music is sad, but beautiful i love it. :)

[GeorgeCassells]

I love this song everytime. Thanks

[vincentchaoslimit]

your gr8 :). btw how long have u played piano cause your really good :)

[TheBeckster99]

it reminds me of the passing of my grandpa who was one of my closest friends

[dangerdave18]

Such a powerful tune!



[GeishasDream]

Whats that for an e-piano? I would totally like to buy the same one, I searched it really really long ^^

[jere372]

can you tell me which easier to play? tifa or aerith's? i have a hard time choosing to play for my performance.

[acuity1980]

@jere372 for me Tifa´s theme is much easier to play than Aerith´s. Aerith´s theme get´s kinda tricky on the 3rd page, especially the last measures on that page.. god.. that took a while to get it down ^^

[dantheape]

i had this played at my wedding, it was used as the "everyone find your seats" song before the bridal march...amazing version of this song

makes me wish i could play piano

[waritgreen]

I forgot to breath.......

[piano0b]

i made a video of me playing it, pls watch

/watch?v=EdUW5C7_l9k&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[Nipponnokisoku]

Looking for sheetmusic? I loooooove the link: ffmusic.ffshrine.org

has looooads of FF sheet music. both simple versions and piano collections

[muffinemily]

That was easily the most amazing version of the song I have ever heard. You are the best pianist I've seen. Great Job :)

[Rikodou99]

impressive....

[kyunghi]

absolutely beautiful~!

[noeleverblue]

in your opinion which is bettter this piece or tifa's theme? i cant decide on which to play T_T both are just awesome.

[asdasdgafgag]

@noeleverblue lol be lik me learn both start with tifa's cuz its easier then do aerith's which require a little more skill and wen u practice start with the last 2 pages

[rooo1o]

@noeleverblue Both ^^ Play both :)

[gloryglorytottenham]

Is this hard for an aspiring pianist? This is the reason I have taken up the piano...

[papikra37]

Hi! My brother want's I play this song to his wedding but i think that is a little sad... What do you think ? (I'm sorry for my english, but i hope that you understand me)

[catcrazy11]

I'm learning this piece now. I hope I'll be able to master it as beautifully as you have! You're really great. :D

[AressiYashiroB]

I allways cry with this song

[darkkzer0o]

The fact you let it fade out on a note and don't have a bullshit speech at the end keeps the immersion, thanks.

[w8ToPlay]

it's just beautiful!! I'm trying to learn and I still have the last 30 seconds to learn (most difficult) :)

[KAZUTUBE1001]

beautiful..

this theme and your playing make me relax.

[Earisu11]

Damn, i just can't enough of this version. This song is just amazing and this particular version is my most favourite song ever. Thanks Arkton, i can't begin to explain how much justice you do this song. I seen nearly all the verisons of this song on Youtube, and for me, none even come close to this. I'd give my right arm to play this as good as you (oh... wait a sec) ^^ =)

[PoisonMatch]

AERITH NOOOO!!! (CRY) >>> (ME PLAYING FF 7 FOR FIRST TIME)

[MichaelTesch90]

wunderschön :)

[NordicTune]

this song blows me away still today.... know this game and songs for so long but still amazing and amazing played!

[Robertod301]

@XxMeandroxX lol...and why i love this peice is because ff7 is in my opinion the best ff in the series and if you have played Crises core it all makes sense About Zack cloud and Sephiroth and the song is kinda sad to me because it played when Aerith dies.

[Robertod301]

I had to change my pants twice because of this song

1 for shitting in them.

2 for jizzing in them.

Most beautiful piece i've ever heard keep up the good work Arkton.

[XxMeandroxX]

@Robertod301 quite the poetic way with words you have.... indeed a beautiful piece, but if I may, you may want to explain why you love it, not how messed up your pants are getting

[BagelzZzMonicaLol]

@Robertod301 O.o?

[kieumydt]

You played nice. Very well. But i think it's not Aerith. The sheet is right, but.... Any way, it's not Aerith

[randompedestrianTV]

@kieumydt what do you mean?

[Rakatan6666]

@randompedestrianTV In other versions of the game, Like my version lol She was called Aeris* Not Aerith

[weederfly]

37 people couldn't get a gold chocobo

[13finalfantasylover]

you are FANTASTIC

[Lando452]

very nice

[Gaudior1]

Why are people disliking this? I want reasons!

[LOLzors159]

Best song ever of the GAME EVA! Sad and a wonderful piece.

[E55EXG1RL]

I am grade 7 in piano but I really wish I cood play this. So beautiful. And how can anyo1 dislike this?! It's amazing! Does any1 no where I cam get a music sheet 2 try and learn this? I can already play tifas theme, barrets theme, on tht day 5 yrs ago and one winged angel, but in desperate 2 play this song. Will any1 help me? :)

[kneelb4me]

@E55EXG1RL otaku.co.uk

[kneelb4me]

@E55EXG1RL otaku.co.uk - Around £30 for the music sheets for the entire game

[E55EXG1RL]

My fave piece from ff7 by far. So beautiful my m8s almost cried wen they first heard it. And yh it sux wen aeris dies, but at least u get 2 listen 2 the music!

[FinalFantasyZack]

It sucked when Aerith died.. I leveled her up so high :( :(

[WaterLily728]

I was listening to this once with a few friends. When they asked me who wrote it, and I told them it was from a video game, they didn't believe me xD

Ah, well. Some Nobuo Uematsu music is just too pretty sometimes.

[GatoSquadInc]

37 people must be gingers because they have no souls to not like this.
