Eyes on Me from Final Fantasy VIII on STL Ocarina

It's been two years since we first recorded Eyes on Me. We all love the song so much that we decided to do a different video interpretation of this song. Hope you enjoy it.

Awesome cosplay, GORGEOUS arrangement, beautiful ocarina playing, lovely girl, great choice of song and well made video. :D

[@Heathersocarina]

+RebeccaETripp Thank you.

[@DDG2023]

It's not cosplay - She's an actual elf. I know it. I can sense these things. Also pointy ears.

[@Mysweetangelroom237]

This is extremely sweet and magical! 👏👏👏👏👏🎄❤️👍

[@zachpion2346]

This is a wonderful rendition of one of the best video game songs ever done. The memories of playing this when I was 17, 18. I cried on the space scene and this song is making me want to water my beard, damn you!

[@AgenTx0rangE]

I fell in love to this song long ago it's my first Final Fantasy and is my favorite. Thanks for bringing it back and cool Rinoa outfit

[@Alamodem]

I could listen to this all day long. Beautiful. Stunningly beautifull.

[@NeoFeliSha]

Brings back so many memories of one of the best rpg story's out there, thank you SO much for this, it's times like these I wish i actually learned a music instrument :/

[@faladon863]

[@LiveNiceness14]

I'm like seriously crying right now.

[@blink182fanjs]

WOW, and the outfit, I just couldn't believe it. She even had the personality of Rinoa. Very well done! The song was beautiful.

[@Ferelmakina]

great atmosphere, great preparation, great performance. Well done, girl! you're such an artist

[@Reptoidftw]

This was posted 9 years ago... this is the first time I'm seeing it. It is amazing... amazing..amazing... age has not effected the beauty of this video.

[@philiphartshorn]

Such a beautiful person, her expressions, her presence, and her passion are truly inspiring. And what a performance.

[@MattyPS]

Wonderful and amazing cosplay. One of my favourite songs from the series.

[@georgewalkerv]

This is my absolute favorite song featured in any video game. Combine that with my love for all things ocarina and a fantastic video interpretation, and you have one of my favorite youtube videos.... evar!

[@sanoichiro]

Amazing song. Beautiful ocarina player, and a beautiful ocarina as well.

[@ThisIsMe524]

de toutes les chansons de jeux, celle-ci reste ma favorite, comme le jeu d'ailleurs! Ton cover est juste magnifique!

[@KY0UJlN]

You have reduced a 44 year old man to tears. Simply beautiful.

[@jimmyramosf7]

EDIT: 2:20 (You're welcome). What a beautiful cover. The video, the logo, the performance... Everything it's just perfect. Thank you very much! I love this song.

[@MerryberryMusic]

Amazing! How lovely the instrument sounds and how well it blends with all the other instruments. Truly a masterpiece! Well done :D

[@Nova7o9]

I was having trouble deciding which key + range I wanted for my Ocarina, now I know. ❤️😍

[@AmberSymphony]

What a great setting for the song! I love the Botanical Gardens!

[@justinromero928]

Very beautiful. This vid popped up while i was looking for songs for timing reference on a tenor from STL ocarina so I decided to give it a look. More motivated now to make the most out of playing the ocarina.

[@Shenmuemiao]

The girl playing eyes on me with the Ocarina has really pretty eyes. Final Fantasy VIII is my favorite Final Fantasy game then X

[@SxMxKillSwitch516]

You guys are so amazing.. Thank you for your music

[@T94852]

Love this song, beautifully played, love the violin part too. Thank you for your music

[@Darianstarwind]

just found these videos while searching for something else, I have an Ocarina I got many years ago back when I was still in High School. It was cheap off of Yahoo Auctions I believe. It has been dropped and since it was clay I have thought of replacing it since the mouthpiece is partly broken, glad to see some place that makes good quality Ocarinas, aids in learning them, and does these amazing videos for them to show the many ways to love the Ocarina. I do have a song that might be good to do, haven't seen a video from it yet, but since you have this one from FFVII perhaps you'd do this song, it's FFIX's Melodies of Life.

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

There's a guy who plays it. Just search melodies of life ocarina. It is an older Asian man who plays it. P something... I am forgetting the name lol.

[@TheLightning134]

i love that ocarina, the sound is awesome

[@redhedgehogocarina]

You make a beautiful Rinoa!! And what a lovely performance =) I think this is my favourite ocarina cover of this song. Wonderful work.

[@1102299]

[@CarbonatedTurtle]

It's a "pay what you want" deal. If you enter 0, you'll be prompted to enter your e-mail address, and won't be required to enter any CC info. But if anyone does deserve to be paid for her music, it's someone like this, so chip in a buck or two if you can.

[@lunanine9]

Beautiful music, beautiful girl! Rock on! I have got to get one of those ocarinas!!!!!!

[@FoeniKKusu]

Rinoa you're back for us
