Ashe To Basch - "How Can I Not Love You"

Dedicated to Aorin107, for aiding me in my quest to find another "soundtrack" for Ashe and Basch. Therefore, credits goes for her as well, for calling up the idea of an AMV for this song, considering the meaning behind it. This wonderful song of Joy Enriquez, "How Can I Not Love You", was originally written for the great, wonderful, sad yet romantic movie "Anna and The King".
In this AMV, the song reflects Ashe's thoughts towards Basch, who left for Archadia to "further the cause of peace in Ivalice" :) Little does she know that he misses her deeply as well... :) I hope you like it! :)

Lyrics:
"Cannot touch, cannot hold
Cannot be together
Cannot love, cannot kiss,
Cannot have each other

Must be strong, and we must let go
Cannot say what our hearts must know
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you here in my arms?
How does one waltz away from all of the memories?
How do I not miss you when you are gone?

Cannot dream, Cannot share,
Sweet and tender moments
Cannot feel how we feel,
Must pretend it's over

Must be brave, and we must go on
Must not say what we've known all along
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you here in my arms?
How does one waltz away from all of the memories?
How do I not miss you when you are gone?
How can I not love you?

Must be brave, and we must be strong
Cannot say what we've known all along
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you here in my arms?
How does one waltz away from all of the memories?
How do I not miss you when you are gone?

How can I not love you when you are gone?"

This is a very beautiful song, and a very beautiful video. *slaps self* Why do I cry at all of your videos?!? XD

...Because they're all absolutely beautiful.

[LadyEarisu]

Thanks :D ^^

[SchallundWahn]

The second vid by you that I watch...oh please I think I must cry...you're brilliant and this song..phew I have to take a deep breath

Great, great, great!

[LadyEarisu]

Thank you so much! Aorin also has credit for giving me this idea :D

[qwixux87]

Hey, I found you on youtube! I didn't realize this vid was yours; I watched it a couple of weeks ago and was floored because it was so beautiful--and then just checked and realized I didn't comment. *headdesk* Anyway, this is GORGEOUS and the song is perfect and brilliant and you did a fantastic job with it. :D

[LadyEarisu]

Hey hello Qwi! :D It is great to see you here too :) Thank you so much for your comment :D

There is such a big age gap but slight insinuations in the game that Ashe cared deeply for Basch and maybe even romantically loved him, I thought there couldn't be a cuter pairing in the game

[InnateNobility]

I always knew the way he looked at her was beyond duty. There was something about the softness of his eyes betraying his battle-hardened face; this conveys exactly how they feel trapped by duty (him) and high office (her). This is a beautiful song and video -- great job with the excellent editing and choice of song.

just want to say that I LOVE THIS SONG! it's so beautiful. i love Final Fantasy. here are my favorite characters: Tidus and Yuna; Shuyin and Lenne; Cloud and Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 and Rasler and Ashe from Final Fantasy 12. yes they are all couples. the three Final Fantasy games i'd like to play: Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy 12. LONG LIVE FINAL FANTASY!!!!!

[1990animegirl1]

okay! someone, anyone please help me! i want to figure out the story here. i know that Ashe and Rasler were in love with each other, but does Basch love Ashe, and what about Vaan? does he love Ashe too? i've seen the wedding scene on youtube, so i know Ashe and Rasler loved each other. but i'm so confused!!!!! if anyone can help me understand, please post a comment soon, thank you very much!

[MoogleStudioPresents]

Very nice :) going to my favorites for sure :) just gotta love Basch for being so yummy! :D <3

[xx7sweetnightmare4xx]

@famousgirl22 its Final Fantasy 12

[Marzz5585]

Worst FF ever.... what do you get when you combine Star wars, with shittier characters!  you get FFXII.... when Square allied with enix was the worst move, fukin FFX-2 :( and 12...... last good game was FFX, thats just my opinion......

[MorganaCynthia]
