"Aerith's Theme" Final Fantasy VII - Live at Piano City Milano 2019

[@mirinx_4819]

The first 3 notes and I'm already sobbing

[@herbsuperb6034]

Doesn't take long, does it. The memories this piece of music brings up are quite profound. Games have come and gone, since. But Final Fantasy VII was a cut above them all.

[@victoriasharpe1661]

It gave me serious goosebumps and they didn't stop until I stopped listening to the song. It's so powerful 🤧

[@stur]

I felt that

[@Superkaioken87]

My fucking heart

[@84portman]

Same here. This is what beautiful sounds like

[@rikudouray]

Imagine reaching our grand parents age and remembering all the good memories we had playing FF games with this theme.

[@NateWithWho]

How old were you when first played??

[@lukestokes2579]

I was a little late to the party being born in 1998 but I think I was like 5/6 when I played it, I was a kid who was stuck in the train level not sure how to jump up and down onto the trains 🤣

[@josuemata2143]

I got into final fantasy around the dicktree and circlemaster era lol

[@zheyuezhao456]

Yep, I am gonna be seeing Aerith's face when I die...That might not be a joke lol.

[@royrobinson9212]

Already in my mid 50's and can honestly say that playing the Final Fantasy games were time well-spent. I have so many good memories, so many emotional moments tied to the series. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

[@PScoutmanJ]

Nobuo Uematsu is the Mozart of our generation for making this masterpiece

[@queenneptune2456]

Never grew up with FF7 but played the remake and instantly attached to aerith on a personal level. Even her smile would make me smile, just love her so much

[@Griffynful]

If you dont already know, the story is a wild ride. I hope you enjoy the next parts to be released :]

[@drshuskie1214]

Checking in! You play rebirth yet?

[@beryllium1892]

Most iconic theme in FF7♥️

[@faiz5815]

i think the most iconic is prelude , ff7 has so many iconic themes in the ff franchise imo , but 'aeirth's theme' and 'on our way' made me cried

[@monojuice]

faiz prelude is not a 7 exclusive theme though, that’s a recurring final fantasy theme in every mainline game. This, Those Chosen By The Planet, and Cloud’s theme (main ff7 theme) are probably the most iconic ff7 themes. Didn’t say one winged angel cause that isn’t seph’s theme lol

[@faiz5815]

@@monojuice yes i know ,prelude is the main theme of ff franchise. Like victory theme fanfare in every ff games. Thats why im saying ' ff7 has so many iconic themes '

[@DVR_Made]

Best soundtrack of any game period. Cosmo Camyon, Cid’s theme, and probably this song are my top 3

[@herbsuperb6034]

@@faiz5815 Agreed. The Final Fantasy Prelude is indelibly etched into my mind. That being said, this piece of music is one for the ages.

[@jackychen6261]

The audience: thats a nice song Me if i was in this audience: IM NOT CRYING, YOU GUYS ARE! 😭

[@Razsor97]

I was 13 when the original FF7 came out and when "that scene" (I think y'all know which one I'm talking about) happened, I was just like "... what. the. F just happened?" and honestly couldn't stop myself from crying. While this cover's nothing short of beautiful and amazing, hearing it brought back all the emotions I had that night. My 12 year old son loves the remake, but I absolutely do not have the heart to tell him what's going to happen, either in the 2nd or 3rd game of the remake.

[@shortw00d81]

Same! I was like... upset for a week and started the game over. Hoping I made a mistake in my choices and things would be different... well...

[@chaerithbestgirl]

The pain that embedded in to our hearts *by hearing this* it trigger's the memories.

[@anida.m2952]

Imp the original is more about pain, loss n mystery of future. Just bittersweet. This version more feels like Cloud playing piano n remembering Aerith but instead of crying, he just smiles.

[@LesusGames]

Can't help but watch the people in the back either looking bored or talking to each and can't help but think "Philistines! You're listening to the greatest piece of music ever committed to sheet music!"

[@cerebrophage7709]

THere was one person crying... She started about halfway through.

[@yeetusdeletus3072]

This is the very reason why I'm relearning piano. I love this very much.

[@Fraukojiro27]

No matter what cover for this song,this make my tears always out of control. good work

[@cerebrophage7709]

The woman in the brown hair and glasses was crying, and I don't even think she knows what the song is from. How beauitifully you played this really resonated with her. Well done.

[@burnzie743]

It would have taken every ounce of strength to not break down if I were in the audience, and I probably would have failed. Excellent job.

[@Reudi]

One Of The Most Amazing Aerith Themes Ever.... Just GG :)

[@shigerunpen1]

色んなバージョンを聞いてきて、あの頃に1番戻れるのはアレンジのない原曲に近いこんな演奏だと分かった。。

[@TheOrangex88]

There are songs that just leave an impression on you for the rest of your lives…this song will stay with you forever

[@tomasgarcia7499]

This deserves so many more views. This interpretation doesn’t stray far from the original but adds embellishments that compliment Uematsu’s original version perfectly. This is gorgeous musicality. Thank you!

[@AyuNeko]

I haven't touched the piano in years. When i was small, my mum forced me to practice and i hated it (asian parents). Now after many years i sometimes feel the urge to start practicing again, this time, it will be by my own motiviation. I just have to find the right sheets to get into it again.

[@krsbeln23]

why...tears...kept falling

[@ckennedy1973]

Aerith’s death scene still effects me to this day.

[@agentorange1556]

I want to learn how to play piano just to play this song. That’s it!

[@stephenandriotis2129]

If your like me you move on to Tifa's theme right after 😉

[@FENRlZ]

Why isn't this a million views yet?

[@SnowyyFoxx]

First 3 notes already crying

[@JoeGX460]

Man who dares to cut onions in this audience...Tears are dropping...

[@yunomyname7051]

C'est la plus belle version du thème d'Aerith, de loin. Bravo.

[@vahuid]

This should have more views.

[@YamiGenesis]

agreed. I'll do it single handed if I have to

[@melplays90]

just got the remake on -ps plus yesterday and it's my first time playing it and I AM HOOKED. omg what a gorgeous game. The soundtrack is truly something else.

[@Bayesic]

4:03 Some light clapping Me if I were there: *Audible wailing*

[@dgrtnio]

Music must Always comunicate with our souls. This armony, this Melody, those notes, all together they speach to your soul. I Hope all future generation composer Will keep that in mind.

[@phoenix1977]

i swear , everytime someone who knows this song and it's backstory, hears this, they'll cry. 100% of the time. also, i think this solo version might be on part with the orchestra original.

[@NateWithWho]

Yea...first few notes are for when the Materia fell out of her body :'(

[@MariusBoss11458]

I don't cry. But I feel pain.

[@JC-nl9yq]

IT’S THE PEOPLE ONIONS

[@primalspongebob6144]

Kinda wish I never stopped playing piano so I could try and play this but holy that was perfect

[@stevedowning4824]

It's quite simple song to play actually :) So go again!

[@CT808]

How does this not have a million views? Even if you've never played the game, this song just resonates in your soul.

[@ゆっきー-q3e8r]

弾いてくれてありがとう‼️ 日本より、心を込めて。

[@valkrys7472]

I've played the old ff7 so many times and it still feels like getting kicked in the gut every time I hear this.

[@dirkwillemdikland6180]

thanx for making my eyes water ..... love this song, ff7 will forever be my favorite game

[@SERENDIPITY-b6e]

Imagine playing so beautifully that Albert Einstein goes back to life just to watch you play. Jokes aside, this is beautifully played ❤️

[@Avatarbayu10]

Beautiful song

[@SevenSteelHills]

Even random members of the public who probably haven’t even heard of the theme are engrossed! Beautiful, man! 👍🏻

[@myth9747]

The moms struggle to not break down throughout the entire piece always ruins me. Totally feel the same as her every time i hear this majestic piece of music

[@anhemtoctai5099]

love this song

[@mojtabafr1491]

Great job aerith is my favorite and her theme is also my favorite ❤💔

[@pepe_nacho_5108]

One of the most emotional songs ever. For one of the best fictional female characters ever written. Aerith is a true woman: strong and tender. Sadly nowadays female characters aren’t written like this

[@stoneruler]

It's all Abby now.

@Kyle Riel It's your opinion bud, your personal and unpopular opinion.

[@milk770]

Man... I got a goosebumps, I love this theme ♥️

[@DurdleDers]

I wonder what all the people who don't know about the game thought of when listening...

[@pedropereira6888]

Well I only learned about final fantasy 7 recently because of the remake and because me being 17 have played ff 12, 13 and 15 and the first thing I thought about when I listened to this was that it was beautiful and the more I learned about Aerith the more the song got attached to her and seemed to fit her character. And yeah I have learned about her death and not gonna lie I shed a tear...

[@LucaMolteni84]

The event was all about video games music 😂

[@toori]

素晴らしい

[@TekuzoOdium]

What an incredible performance.

[@ixida1000]

I played this game when i was in my junior high.... Now im father of 2 sons... And still i love this

[@retaj00]

This is a wonderful homage to the song in “that part” of the original game. The soft two repetitions of the melody, and then the key change and volume increase reflecting the gravity of events. Bravo.

[@cloudstrife9869]

Uno dei brani più belli in assoluto insieme a "To Zanarkand" di FFX. Davvero un'ottima interpretazione, avrei voluto essere tra il pubblico.

[@AFStudiosMedia]

Never underestimate a good piano cover.

Omg its Fkin Beatiful,You must play Tifa's Theme

[@rahman_wijaya]

masterpiece 😊

[@InDzienInTampa]

Still have a theory that Remake Aerith is our original one that "dreamwalks" (see Doctor Strange 2) into the Remake universe and hence, why she knows things she shouldn't. As for you, Valerio, what an absolutely moving and impeccable performance! Especially with those staccatos!
