Distant Worlds II: A Place To Call Home ~ Melodies Of Life

A part of the Distant Worlds II soundtrack. Material is copyright to it's respective owners.

Lyrics:

Alone for a while,
I've been serching through the dark,
For traces of the love you left
Inside my lonely heart,
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain,
Melodies of life - loves lost refrain.

Our paths they did cross,
Though I can not say just why.
We met, we laughed, we held on fast,
and then we said goodbye.
And who'll hear the echoes
Of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.

In my dearest memories,
I see you reaching out to me.
Though you're gone,
I still believe that you can call out my name.

A voice from the past,
Joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life, to the sky
beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond.

So far and away, see the bird as it flies by.
Gliding through the shadows of
The clouds up in the sky.
I've laid my memories
And dreams upon those wings,
Leave them now and see
What tomorrow brings.

In your dearest memories,
Do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close
And now leave me behind?

A voice from the past,
Joining yours and mine,
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes on and on.
Melodies of life, to the sky
Beyond the flying bird - forever and on.

If I should leave this lonely world behind,
Your voice will still remember our melody,
Now I know we'll carry on.
Melodies of life, come circle round
And grow deep in our hearts,
As long as we remember.

"A Place to Call Home" is probably one of the best compositions he ever did. A lot of the rest get bogged down in complexity, this one has a melody, sticks with it, and soars.

I love all Final Fantasy games. No one is better than the other (Well...so far, only XIV has been a disappointment). They all have their pros and cons (FFXIV seems to have more cons than pros, though).

Anyway, I love all FF games...I love Uematsu and his music. He's right up there with Mozart and Beethoven, in my opinion.

I think I just had a moment. While I do adore Final Fantasy IX, I never really cared for Melodies of Life. Melodies, for me, was just forgettable and felt as if it were just shoehorned in compared to the other songs that fill other FF games. It was too slow, soft, and felt a bit... cheesy by comparison.

But then I listen to this version, and it's -flawless-. The orchestral, the lyrics, the deeply passionate vocals morph what I found boring into this magnificent song.

[FFVIIFangirl]

@justa16thnote ...and vice versa. :)

[MichaelBernas]

This song summarizes the love story of Garnet and Zidane. :'D
