Selphie's Train Song from FF8 (original composition)

This video has something to do with Final Fantasy VIII, but the music that you hear is an original composition by myself. What is this?

SOLVED by captainsunder009 and atomixmax (and Phystri) :)

This is how I'd imagine Selphie's Train song from Final Fantasy VIII (English version). Here are the lyrics:

Train, Train, Take Us Away
Take Us Away, Far Away
To The Future We Will Go
Where We'll Go We Don't Know

Train, Train, Take Us Away
Take Us Away, Far Away
To The Future We Will Go
Where We'll Go (It Will Show Itself To Us)

Lyrics in brackets were added by myself. Yeah the metrum etc. doesn't fit that well but I thought at least the words are somewhat fitting to finish the song. Thanks to leonhart34 for letting me know that the fourth line was actually in the game itself.

Anyway, I thought that the idea of having Selphie sing that song at that part would say so much about her character and bring her to life, she is so cheerful, carefree and full of positivity. Also, as XAnjoJojoX commented, this song can actually be regarded as a reference or foreshadowing to elements of the main story, that is a really intriguing thought, isn't it?

The fourth line is in the game. During the train journey from Timber to Easy Academy (Galbadia Garden), she sings "Where it stops, no one knows".

@leonhart34 oh thanks for letting me know, i had no idea. cool, it seems she only sings that line on that specific train ride? that would be pretty cool and a nice fine nuance at that part. i corrected the lyrics and also credited you, thanks a lot

[EmphaticItalic]

It's very clever of you to have come up with this idea. You should be very proud.

[Verdegrand]

@EmphaticItalic thanks a lot :) i'm happy to hear that people liked the idea.

[LLDBHB]

This fits Selphie's character so well! You guys did a good job coming up with the lyrics and your composition is spot on! Always so awesome to come back to your channel and find something I love every time :)

[Verdegrand]

@LLDBHB hey thank you, i appreciate it ;) this kind of video had some good responses so i'm thinking of doing more like this in the future, let's see.

It's Selphie singing:

"Train, train, take us away

takes us away, far away

To the future we will go"

My cookie?

[captainsunder009]

@XAnjoJojoX Yeah.. You, me both. It was a lot of fun. Great brain training.

[Myrealm7]

They should make this the new FF 13-2 theme instead of pop crap :D cheers very touching

[PopDeOllie]

This is so perfect. It fits Selphie's character PERFECTLY. You should make an extended version.

[bluestreek004]

this sounds so beautiful!!! try to add 2 more minutes to it and make it epic!

[Spr1teRoses]

Oh my god. <3 You are brilliant.

[RoldaoKanon]

I always wondered what was that tune and now I have a slight idea. Very cool version, but have you tried doing a version of The Extreme and The Castle of FFVIII?

[zeryx28]

Wow what a novel idea!

[EmphaticItalic]

I've caught myself humming this tune throughout the day.

[tobzhooli]

Wow, how good is this! You play the piano very well!

[ariolo00]

I only wish it was longer, even so it's truly beautiful.
