Eyyyyyy !! Happy new year everyone!
I know we're already a goooooood month into 2023 but I still wish you all the greatest and the best for this year !
Lots of luck, health and prosperity for you all and your close ones !
Back in 2020, in the mids of the Covid crisis, lockdowns and all the stress that comes with it, I think the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake was a bit like a light on the other side of the tunnel to me.
It was the game that allowed me and my gf to taste a glimps of freedom, exploring Midgard and its slums, and meeting wonderful characters (Aerith FTW !!!!!).
It was the experience that brought me happiness and excitement at the time I needed it the most, and it has not left me unchanged !! (Btw I'm waiting for the 2nd part like crazyyyy)
About a year and half later, on a very last minute thought, I managed to book tickets for the Final Fantasy VII Remake Orchestral Tour in Paris (December 9th 2020, precisely).
I remember the very first notes of the concert were the harp arpeggios from the title screen and my gf instantly teared up. That was such a big moment !!
The concert was pure ear candy, conducted by Arnie Roth, who's been conducting Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy orchestra concerts for yeaaaars now !
And suddenly, this song happened. Hollow, orchestral version. Speechless.
So ... I'd like to give credits to whom it belongs to. This orchestral arrange was heavily inspired by the live performance I heard that day.
This (re?)arrange was made with two of my best and trusted music friends and Final Fantasy fans Marc Papeghin, on the Horns and Trumpets, and Pernelle on who helped me on the Choirs and Flutes.
Please give them the warm welcome they deserve !
We all put all our heart and love for Final Fantasy in this song.
Lastly, this song is meant to be listened to, with your eyes closed. This is also why the video is very minimalistic.
Get a nice spot to sit, and let yourself get lost in the sound.
I hope you're all in a comfortable setup and wish you a great listening !

I went to the VII Remake world tour in London. Was expecting to enjoy some of the more well known tunes the most, then then they did this orchestral arrangement of Hollow. Blew me away, the vocalist was amazing, honestly probably the highlight of the concert for me. It tops the original version of the song for sure. So it’s awesome to hear this rendition again. ^.^

[@cloudshines812]

Imagine this played in Part 3, in a scene where Cloud meets Aeris a final time in the lifestream and manages to cast holy to prevent the Meteor from destroying the Planet, sending Sephiroth and Jenova to be defeated and meet their end…

[@TheShockVox]

This entire rendition is ASTONISHING. The vocals were incredible and perfectly matched with the instrumental. This arguably hit me harder the original. Particularly the vocals. I’m so damn surprised whenever a cover makes me love not just a song more, but the source material of the song as well. This cover increased my love of Final Fantasy VII. WHAT?!

[@PernelleMusic]

Thankyou for bringing such a complex yet amazingly emotional piece. That was a great honor to be involved in it with you and Marc because I respect both of you at a very high degree. I keep listening to the cover and it still extracts tears to my eyes every single time. Deeply, you've done a wonderful job here, as you always do but... You know this one has a special meaning so...! Go on, HOWLING AND HOLLOOOOOOOOOOOW 🌹

[@AnbaLen]

Bro, this is just ... loss for words. It's so overwhelming and big and emotional and ethereal. Amazing job!!! I can hear you had fun with this style of singing too!! Straight up Disney-bigness & emoting and I mean that in the best way!

[@XxxXxx-yh5gz]

*You have to save her, Cloud*

[@Fome]

Such a beautiful arrangement! I’ve actually never heard the original song before, but I’m glad you could introduce me to this. Fabulous vocal performances and always a treat to hear Marc’s brass!

[@aryn-jaeger]

Incroyable ❤

[@migizuri]

This cover blew me away, holy sh-

[@diegoanthonyherrera9952]

I would be lost Drifting along Floating up high Time after, time And there you'd be Shining, brightly Your smiling face To guide my way _________________ Bloody and bruised Brought, to my knees When beaten down When broken, up You would appear Reach out to me Heal every, wound And make me whole Was it all, a dream? Will I never know? Foolish, and blind To everything Had I realized Had I thought, it through Would you be here in my, embrace? Shine bright, once more Guide me to you Smile bright once more This time I will never let, you go _______________________ With your every, smile Hiding something more Dark mysteries Lurking beneath But I was, consumed With this emptiness This selfishness This void to fill Hear me once more Show me your smile This time for sure I'll see the truth hidden inside, your tears But I I know That you're long gone But I I will Go on howling, and hollow

[@lucymotyka510]

To never know... Hollow

[@Anastasia-yk4gg]

this is such a beautiful masterpiece. I think I screamed so loud from the beginning because I was starshock

[@Anastasia-yk4gg]

Nobuo should see this cover!!!!!

[@buonotomatoo_boop]

This is really beautiful Vuvu-san! The enchanting arrange and your powerful emotion are seeping straight through my ears and heart. I mean I love the original as well but this definitely has a strong sound that instantly made me tear up. Not to mention the choir and harmonies are absolutely perfect as well!! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

[@fabricevieira1085]

slt , tu vas bien ? rien a dire c'est super bien , que dire 20/20 magnifiquement interprété :)

[@holwin9763]

Salut Bg, c'est quand que tu te lances sur Spotify? Mine de rien, tu nous as quand même pondu des classiques iconiques après toutes ces années de travail Ça serait formidable de te retrouver dessus

[@RobertaFerreira]

Achei esse vídeo por acaso, você tem uma belíssima voz. Essa musica toca meu coração toda vez que ouço, e conhecendo a historia e o destino dos personagens, ouvir ela depois daquela cena memorável será uma experiência dolorosa. É uma pena ver que muitos não entendem o significado dessa letra, mas acho que é pessoal de cada um, de todas as musicas com vocais, Too Much Is Never Enough e Hollow são minhas favoritas. Irei salvar o vídeo para ouvir mais vezes. 😊

[@Cry3nix]

Great job all !

[@nosc_c]

Is this on spotify?

[@audioTopia]

i cried a river...

[@onewingedangel97]

I would like the score of this version of yours!

[@shadowwwwwwwwwww]

this is better than the original, hands down.

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

I bet the whole "memories" thing will be such a mindblower when this game series comes to an end... and make replaying the games even better.. From what I learned each time Blonde-Zack has a headache the Jenova Cells in his brain actively rewrite his memories. And in the Remade Zack Game they removed a whole big important part of the game and turned it into a slideshow because apparently everyones memories of that have been altered probably by Jenova. FF7 Remake was Sephiroth breaking free from Jenovas Control asking for Cloud to join him.. in that moment 7 seconds before the planet is being destroyed.. but why and for what is unclear since nobody knows what Sephiroth wants to do when he is not affected by Jenova Cells.. According to the initial info.. before his Jenova cells were activated he was just a very strong and ok guy.. Clouds love for Aerith is the memories Zack imprinted on Cloud when he died (and possibly their time together in the soups already mixing their memories).. So the next part will be about the Rebirth of the "Real Clouid" just as Sephiroth was freed from Jenova cells Blonde-Zack will finally be rid of Jenova cells and again become the Tifa-Loving Cloud. Damn... I so so so so so so wish for this to be a happy ending.. for once do not freak up game writing just to make it edgy or just to not give it a "happy ending".. in times like these a Happy Ending is exactly what we need.. Zack and Aerith be together. Cloud and Tifa rebuild 7th Heaven and make it a place for Mercs like Zack n Cloud.. they will find a way.. the Planet needs to be rid of Jenova.. and then you can expand the world by introducing the Aliens who built Jenova (she clearly is a biological weapon to conquer a planet)

[@ShuiroHotaru]

Calling Cloud "Blonde-Zack" is not only a huge disrespect for his character but a clear indication that you really didn't understood his arc at all.

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

@@ShuiroHotaru no. It is meant as a joke. Lots of people jokingly call him that.

[@KresusFIN]

I will forever condemn the Clerith nonsense. (Tifa best girl!) - But this was a VERY beautiful version of Hollow you guys made here! Well done!

[@BlueMoon56832]

Just as i will forever condemn cleifa for its nonsense...aerith best girl

[@diegoanthonyherrera9952]

Dude this song is literally a uematsu idea of Cloud and aerith relationship and is over everything she is the savior of Cloud, and maybe cloud will save her too in the part 3...

[@BlueMoon56832]

Exactly what i'm hoping for...finally a chance after all this time to tie the story together and give EVERYONE a happy ending

[@daniljack8324]

Honestly littleV's version is so much better.

[@nate6138]

This is amazing!

[@ayachinadir4408]

Wonderful ❤
