Eyes on Me - Live

[jackster123892]

Faye Wong is really pretty

[cyriloui]

tout ca pour un jeu magnifique

[justa16thnote]

All the Final Fantasies have their own part of them that makes them great. It is a fact that Squall is more badass than Tidus. Why? Tidus isn't a badass. He's a softy, and an epic softy at that. It's not fair to say one is better than another, because they're all VERY different (except VII and VIII).

[mahomet69]

great song.. but we don;t need digital bitch...

[MrFAtBuu]

she so pretty

[takisisudai]

wow !!

i didnt know she had been in tv of japan.

grafics of the two men in the first of this movie is downtown ,isnt it?

[elderberry666]

did she have a sore throat?

[MBacon101]

I heard back when she first recorded this..she barely spoke any English, she just memorized the sounds of the words...but it's so pretty :]

[mezzaninegal]

@MBacon101 Nope. She speaks well in English right way before this song. She went abroad for a while for a short course early 90's.. :)

[phoenixwarrior42]

granted, I've never played any of the other games, but I really want to. Nobody can mix great music with a great storyline in a GAME quite as well as the makers of Final Fantasy can!

[gyan02]

I agree that ff8 has one of the best game story ever but i would still rank it 3 from all the ff seires... 7,9 then 8.

[DanTheMan8819]

Thumbs up if you think 7 and 8 are the absolute best in all of Final Fantasy.

[radgemasterben]

funny how evan tho she's singin english, subtitles are very much needed lol. try n understand what she's saying without looking at the screen...

[Vcc2cc]

Faye Fong Wong Ching Chog... and she speaks perfect english. Misleading!

[GameMusicCompilation]

@Vcc2cc

for an ignorant wretch maybe.

[LaSheefra]

she has the most beautiful voice...and live too!

[aquilarealm]

woot!  Girl you rock!! Even live you sound beautiful!!

[T3RryOrw3LL]

(Sad Face) I'll never hear this song for the first time again. The turn of the millenium is over.

[BouncerYan]

Nobou Uematsu is a genius. Even now his works gets better and better for every song he makes for the FF series...

[logossano]

She sang it so well that I didn't notice that the back of her dress isn't ironed at all... until she stopped singing in the end.

[Kimidori81]

Great Song! Sad that its kinda wasted on Squall and Rinoa, I don't buy their love story....

[absolutroot]

@Kimidori81

Isn't this song about Laguna and Julia, not Squall and Rinoa...?

[Shoinie]

she has such a lovely voice.... love this song!!

[vburtony]

this song remind me of the time that i spent playing the game ff8. it is still one of the best RPG.no doubt about it.

[AndrewCedricThe2nd]

i cried whenever i listen to this song.. reminds me of FF8.. why did it has to end so short?? Why is there no sequel?? ...

[EmeraldLance]

@AndrewCedricThe2nd FF8 was a good game and all. But the story ended with a happy ending, more than plenty of closure, and was complete with its fair share of deus ex machina. I'd love to see more story, especially with music like this! I don't know how they could possibly add to it though. Maybe do kinda like what they did for Crisis Core; a prequel leading up to the main game, maybe Laguna's story? Totally with you in wanting to see more FF8, though. ^-^

[scorch767]

@EmeraldLance I would absolutely love to play a game about Laguna That'd be awesome... this song makes me wanna play ff8 again.

[MischievousHeart]

Amazing.

[RolandDeschain1]

Greatest game of al time.

[jer18x]

I always thought why the lyrics are mixed up hmmmmm

[SnowGigi]

all time favorite song...known through out the world..

[LingFangKou]

Listening to it and watching it almost brings me to tears. She did such a wonderful job. So damn beautiful. The words and music really sticks out

[kourikage]

Honestly...which artist is able to sing better in a live concert? That's just wrong. (not really) So damn good.

[dhanjellexson]

i like this song

[LokBuddha]

i think the english lyrics is perfect, literally and metaphorically.

[z44ck94]

ff6 ff7 ff8 ff9 ffx the best

[twilightphantom12]

is there an mp3 for this? if there is i would like to have it.. lol i love this song

[TheManWithTVEyes]

Faye Wong fills the void of Teresa Teng's early demise.

[superrandy69]

best final fantasy song ever

[Cephas]

Nice voice... but the lyrics were obviously written by someone who doesn't speak English or were poorly translated.

[absolutroot]

@Cephas

Actually, I would say that Faye Wong's english is better than 99% of americans.

[Snafu246]

@absolutroot Cephas wasn't commenting on Faye Wong's English, he was commenting on the lyrics.

I agree with him. The LYRICS though pretty at some points, also in CONTEXT seem awkward at other times. There seems to be something lost in translation as if it was written meaning in one context, only to come out in another. written in somewhat imperfect English by Kako Someya.

DESPITE that, the song still sounds amazing, and is sung even more amazingly by Faye Wong.

[lyzethmckee01]

OMG ... I LOVE HER VOICE ******

[SchizoRiku]

nothing beats true talent on live singing

[52xmaxvash]

is this hey,hey,hey japanese tv show... pls reply

[cinnami777]

@52xmaxvash Yes, it was.

[52xmaxvash]

@cinnami777 Thank you

[YourTheBlame]

Much better than Lady Gaga and all those Modern Horrible Singers.

[supdawg9999999]

@YourTheBlame lady gaga owns, you little nerd faggot

haters gonna hate

[YourTheBlame]

@supdawg999999 No, Micheal Jackson owns, So Does Faye wong, But Lady Gaga really sucks, She cant Dance like MJ and Cant sing like Faye Wong. Plus, What the hell are you doing here anyways? You think you're gonna win the fight with me With some Weak ass Words?anyways, At least Faye Wong Has a REAL NAME!

[rubyhartlove]

@YourTheBlame A Agree dude, this guy doesn't know real talent if it smacked him hard in the face. This woman has a amazing voice, that a real talent.

[imperio2012]

I've never heard such beautiful voice, she is amazing!!!!

[GemoVII]

wonderful

[GemoVII]

worthless..

[sakurabanzai]

生できくとそんなにうまくないな、つたわってこない

[TheNewEmphinix]

Long live Final Fantasy VIII. The second Final Fantasy game I have played when I was 13.

[darrenwks]

Lol the camera

[CuXeSama]

she sings pretty good ... I think I am in wuv

[tsama]

Still my favorite theme song for a Final Fantasy game. Even if it is 10 years old...man that makes me feel kinda old. LOL

[tigerboyX]

@tsama Frist time I seen the person who sing this? Yeah the game did come out 11 years ago, I played it for the frist time 9 years ago. That's one of those games I can play agin.

[ffcloud19]

@tsama ditto lol, great song

[Sicel1304]

@tsama I'm right there with you man!

[turbobenx]

FF8 is my best in the FF series. I think the squall is more badass then tidus, cloud, and vaan.

[revengeance0805]

cloud sucks

[turbobenx]

@revengeance0805 lol, i couldnt agree more.

[squallthegriever]

@turbobenx

not just more bad ass, Squall has proven to be a better faster and stronger fighter physically, and mentally than them

[gmoya909]

@turbobenx  i agree

[fantasyshrine1]

@turbobenx i agree. he was my first and only fav. the others are too, but he is the one i love the most.

[Vcc2cc]

@turbobenx People usually ask me why I like 8 more than the others... glad to find someone who agrees.

[radgemasterben]

@turbobenx i agree. but 7 had the best story i think. the more recent ones are jus getting more twee n shit as they progress thru the series'

[urabetch]

@turbobenx also more badass than zidane too XD

[raggledy]

@turbobenx It's hard to compete with Cloud, just sayin'. But I really enjoyed FF8.

[jeffplaysska]

@turbobenx

not as badass as Kain Highwind

[NOBUAKI1983]

久々に聞く！！彼女はまた出てくるらしいですね！！

[alexfwong]

そうよ、２月の１４日の中国の旧暦正月に中国中央テレビで復出す­る予定です！

[chocacho]

the song of final fantasy 8

[joepod]

How does the camera do that??

[Kiznae]

@joepod

ultra bending zoom tech from the 90's

[jay20arwen]

wow!!!!! i love this...

[Ramonancho]

love faye wong!! final fantasy VIII

[corybelle2002]

everly loved song. had many memories of this. Faye wong sings it beautifully..nobody could ever beats her

[SakuraBlossom25]

My FAV song ever...even tops Suteki Da Ne for me....my opinion, but no one sings it better than Faye!

On a side note, watching this vid, anyone else get dizzy near the end? lol

[GoutyFeet]

this song brings memories! haha i'm surprised the singer actually looked liked Rinoa!

[LionheartAlacod]

every final fantasy music i heard i was like yea pretty nice

but this BLOW me AWAY jst MAGNIFICENT.

[Raikaze]

First Final Fantasy song with lyrics and its still the best.

[edujaymz]

The most famous Final Fantasy song.

[Aimran479]

My friend first played this song on piano when i was 11 years old, and I only knew the song as an instrumental. i searched YEARS for the song, and this girl I have a crush on managed to identify the song about a year ago...she was a final fantasy freak....and I'm 19 now....imagine that...took me 7 friggin years to find out the name of this song and hear the real version.

[terraxlocke]

haha you dont really need to be a 'final fantasy freak' to be able to identify this song :)

[pupu830]

wow 7 years? I really feel bad for you. but still since you don't know the lyrics of the song, it's probably hard to find.

Great song though, totally worth the 7 years

[janjan34]

your story is the final fantcy.

[leoray1234]

What is it about this song....there is something beyond just the music and the words

[SteelieremiX]

i know...exactly..i never like music like this but this fuckin song is great

[FroggStudios]

Yes, magic... that´s how some people call it.

[revolutionize017]

damn man! she's so beautiful.

[SteelieremiX]

yep...damn

[Aphablueforce]

man the game is so sad man..but so damn good...

[kayienx]

En verdad es un juego muy muy bueno ya que la historia de Squall de porque se hizo tan seco sentimentalmente al abandono de eleone y de como al trascurrir el juego uno (yo) te vas encariñando con los personajes de como rinoa entra en su corazon es una novela es muy bueno para mi es el mejor de todos los FF 10puntos los demas no me gustan!!

[neurox2021]

es facil de entender ya que julia fue el primer amor de laguna y el estaba locamente enamorado de ella ya que dejaba las missiones por irla a ver tocar en el bar. pero es muy cierto eso de que si laguna quedaba con julia entonces riona no exitiria ya que simplemente julia es la mama de riona en este caso toda la historia de ff8 seria muy diferente todo el juego cambiaria hasta la misma hitoria de eleone en verdad final fantasy 8 para mi es el mejor juego con el mejor drama mejor sonido

[cyrinius1979]

wow I guess for some of us seeing the lyrics , your like wtf.. so THAT:S what she's saying. Interesting.....

[Lacrymosa143]

people don't seem to notice that Squall and Rinoa exist BECAUSE Laguna and Julia didn't end up together. if they had and had kids with each other then they would be different kids and Squall and Rinoa wouldn't be born

[LordVili]

Laguna and Raine Loire are Squalls parents and Julia and General whatever are Rinoas parent right? =D

[lebagel]

yup

Laguna and Julia's love was finally found in Squall and Rinoa.

Squall is mixing up Seifer's sloppy 2nds, though.

ps. think of Laguna having sex with Rinoa, picture it, PICTURE IT hahahah

[linegenrou]

Laguna didn't even love Julia.He was just a fan with a crush.She liked him though.

Laguna didn't even care when he found out that Julia married General Caraway.

[lebagel]

he was totally infatuated by her at the time, and loved her, by the time he heard she married general carraway he had began to change and wanted to marry raine, he also thought julia was in love with carraway, as she was and had moved on, which she hadn't

"her true love went off to war and never came back"

[linegenrou]

dude,I'm talking about what I saw in the game.

How do you know Laguna loved Julia? He was infatuated,sure.But just left,never came back and seemed to move on pretty quickly.

Now,the game said pretty openly that Laguna indeed loved Raine.

[lebagel]

well you clearly didn't read all the content the game has to offer such as the timber manics, or the part where someone says that julia's true love went off to war and didn't come back (because they got seriously wounded by esthar soldiers and couldn't as you will have played)

which is fine, i don't want to bash the story you played through on ff8, but if you want the ACTUAL story, then what i'm saying is the truth

[linegenrou]

Actually,Raine was the one who said that about Julia's true love that went to war.She read in a magazine when Laguna asked her what Eyes on Me was about.

[lebagel]

yeah I believe that's right, not so good at connecting the dots are you there, champ

[linegenrou]

Thanks.

But yeah,I didn't get the feeling that Laguna deeply cared for Julia.His love was Raine.

[lebagel]

yeah he changed after floating to winhill, as kiros says, eventually though, to rescue ellone he becomes a traveller again, helped by raine dying

if you play the game more thoroughly you'd come to the conclusion he did love julia back in the day, and she did love him too, it was just never meant to be. Go to final fantasy wikia to read all about it if you like.

[hardi6969]

if laguna and julia didn't die....rinoa and squall would end up as siblings...T_T....such a world...

[creilly1992]

thanks alot for spoiling the ending.

[drewman415]

Julia died, Laguna didn't ...

[lebagel]

wow, that completely is not and would not be the case, you fail hard. HARD.

[SeraphimFaith]

I see.

It is rather interesting how fans suggested that Squall and Rinoa was a love before time...

They (successfully) managed to live the love their parents had no such fortune of doing. Of course the life partners Laguna and Julia had later on were equally good, if not better...but yeah, I seem to be drifting off topic.

Blah.

[longsought7]

No, not even. Good point. Never saw it like that.

[SeraphimFaith]

I guess when people wanna past time or make good memories live on, they'll come up with any number of things. Lol.

Even though I'm a "new FFVIII fan", but this theory does kinda, intrigue me.

A love before time...reminds me of that Coco Lee song.

[bertraand]

Play back ?

[Tettth]

no good singers sing live like CD. (Rare find good ones like her)

[sephious159]

why is this not at VGL?

[humtiemshylock]

I think im in fantasy

[blacksitedown]

Oh This music, Remember Squall & Rinoa in Ragnarok !!!!?

THE BEST GAME EVER MADE !!

[AndrewCedricThe2nd]

yep !!she is 39 now..man...gonna find a girl like her 1 day!! LoL

[anoytoanoy]

she's 39? wow, she looks really young! i thought she was probably around her late 20s

[AndrewCedricThe2nd]

well, if you're talking about this vid...yea she was in he late 20's..now she is 39, but still she is very beautiful!!

[xxceruxx]

I never realized how engrishy this song was. "If frown is shown then,"

[joepod]

The Japanese text talks about a heavy rain warning in Gunma prefecture. They were OK.

[xemnas7777777]

OHHH THIS IS SOO NICE <3

She is so Wounderfull

And Final Fantasy 8 is the best

[CingCrusader]

Damn... so beautiful - the music, lyrics, voice

..everything..  5/5

[jle717]

so much attached to this song. FFVIII is still the best story.

When i hear this i remember floating through space..and that moment in the ragnarok. And Laguna and Julia's story. All attached to this song. It's beautiful.

[boomstix]

wow Nostagalia just hit me hard in the ass, this song really gets me.

In my opinion this is the mst popular song of all FF people here recognize this song more than the latest FF theme

[oscarofb]

awesome

[fooshizzlemahnizzle]

it's really

whenever!!

just count the syllables per line and it'll make sense why she omitted the "I"..

" when e-ver sang my songs" 6 syllables

" on the stage, on my own" 6 syllables

and it applies to the next whenever.

[RikuIchimaru52]

Beautiful Song...

Reminds me of a girl who meant the world to me..

[leiesterciybluearmy2]

There no need in linguistically analyze a perfect song!

Faye Wong you are beautiful!

[infection0]

idea for grammatically correct lyrics:

"Whenever," sang my songs...

on the stage, on my own...

"whenever," said my words...

wishing they would be heard

[hardr0ck]

mmm... kinda. still doesn't work though. not that i don't adore this song, regardless of the english lyrical errors, the melody is still beautiful.

[CELEBRATeDisco]

It really is gramaticallly wrong.

But it really doesn't matter in music.

[SuperPogimon]

yeah, like '...of this tiny little bar...' a little redundant on that part, lol

=op

[SeraphimFaith]

I think that was referring to the place where Squall's father and Rinoa's mother met.

[rsm109]

@SeraphimFaith: It is. It's referring to the hotel bar you visit in the first Laguna flashback early in the game, where they meet for the first and last time after they've spent months admiring each other from afar.

[Toobadloser08]

yea, your right. in the game, julia wrote this song. Julia liked that it Laguna sees her everytime she performs. god! this game is the best game ive played. i really enjoy playing it.Julia wrote this song because Laguna inspired her to write one. Raine said it that it was the most successful song that was made by her in the game(check beginning of disk 2 for more info)

[Niiauyr]

Damn you :)

I didn't want to play it through again, but now I have no choice.

[hardi6969]

how about if Raine knows the truth?......that the song is for laguna?....ahhh...how ironic T_T

[lebagel]

and you get to hear it at the end of the game

were you like me when you completed it, and you were like SHEEEEET this is eyes on me! ? no? oh well.

[VirtualPoser]

The little face she makes at 2:11 is the sexiest thing I've ever seen. Hands down my favorite song from a video game ever, one of my favorite songs period. So beautiful!

[esteng4]

yeah..i agree..i remember my high school days while playing ffViii 24/7 haha!!..d best soundtrack ever!

[esteng4]

im in love with her.

[MagnusTheSnake]

lmao, now you're just full of it

[Jameswho123]

fucksake its not "whenever sang my songs" is "I never sang my songs" Think about it????

[MagnusTheSnake]

It is "Whenever sang my songs", just look up the lyrics

[Jameswho123]

hmm no it isnt, thats what it sounds like but think about it, does whenever make sense??? no its dunt and yeh most of the lyrics sites do say that but i faound a fair few that are right that say "i never sang my songs, on the stage on my own"

[MagnusTheSnake]

I've seen one lyric site that has it like that. Besides that every lyric site, videogame site and Youtube song with lyrics says it's "Whenever sang my song..." Just Google "Faye Wong Eyes on Me Lyrics" or "Final Fantasy VIII Eyes on Me Lyrics"

[Jameswho123]

dude just give up, you know im right, you just wanna look cool infront of everyone and its not working

what sound like it makes sense

whenever sang my songs on the stage on my own

or

i never sang my songs on the stage on my own

think about it dip shit

[mickeneo0]

it could also be we never sang my songs :D

[EVILyangkuang]

I've always thought it was "I never sang my songs" too.

On a closer inspection, that line is purposely written in incomplete sentence. Just look at the following lines after that:

"Whenever sang my song

On the stage, on my own

Whenever said my words"

Even though there's no 'I' in the lines with 'whenever', it is implied. They flow together and sound nice together when sung, even though it doesn't make sense.

[randomuser0]

whenever she sang her song or said her words (in the song) on the stage on her own, she wished that they would be heard to him. the 'i' in 'whenever i sang(or said)~' is omitted to make the rhyme better.

[301SO]

its whenever, its like shortend from when i ever

[arcticeden]

faye wong has a lovely voice...

this is one of my favorite ff songs!! reminds me of the Laguna flashback when he was listening at the bar...

[UpsidedownVieweing]

nothing like the original singer of the song to deliver it... beautiful...

[rafael0727]

OMG, SHE IS THE BEST

[Takanu065]

god she has a good voice

[8rkxncb7563]

SHE IS GODDESS

[digbick1978]

Oh that little cutey with such a beautiful voice

[frostbiteblog]

Beautiful...I love Faye!

[Mcdonaldoo]

a perfect voice, a perfect show, everyone are patient to listen.

[digbick1978]

wtf is that supposed to mean? Everyone are patient to listen?
