Firefly: If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking/Honkai: Star Rail Emotional Piano Arrangement

[@oomogi4454]

"It's not an easy place to find. The person who introduced it to you truly values your friendship by sharing this view. You recall the times spent with that girl. Her gentle smile, her graceful steps" - Trailblazer Edit: Spoiler alert. After completing 2.1 story quests, if you go back to Firefly's secret base, the dialogue is different

[@TravelerSaniar]

Stop it. My heart can't take it anymore 💔 😭😭😭

[@blacklight1429]

"then you recall her last moments... Why did that foolish girl say she's sorry... As you try to understand what she means you slowly grip your hands and your chest tightens because of sadness and anger... An anger that is enough to Melt the metal railing in front of you...." - TB's Thoughts

[@YosepRA]

I can't trust almost everyone in Penacony. But I sincerely want to believe that Firefly's feelings towards Trailblazer is genuine. It's genuine in a sense that she truly enjoys being with Trailblazer, and she _never_ consider Trailblazer as an enemy. She brought Trailblazer to her secret base, she shared about her physical condition, she enjoys every moment in her dream, and said moments includes her moments with Trailblazer. I want to believe that she is just a genuinely sweet girl, despite whatever mission she is currently doing.

[@TravelerSaniar]

@YosepRA if there is one person who is genuine in penacony, it's firefly 😭. The only thing that i truly (want to) believe that was wrong about her... is her death 😭😭😭😭

Blown away, the white petals Leave me trapped in the cage The endless isolation Can wear down my illusion Someday, I'll make a dream unchained Let my heart bravely spread the wings Soaring past the night, to trace the bright moonlight Let the clouds heal me of the stings Gently wipe the sorrow off my life I dream What is meant by miraclе? A word outside my days Once again, repеat warbles But how could I escape? No further hesitation On those unanswered questions So now, I’ll make a dream unchained Let my heart bravely spread the wings Soaring past the night, to trace the bright moonlight Let the clouds heal me off the stings Gently wipe the sorrow of my life I dream Let my heart bravely spread the wings Soaring past the night, to trace the bright moonlight Let the clouds heal me of the stings Gently wipe the sorrow off my life I dream (editing so it matches the official lyrics revealed in HSR Live Concert)

I love how one game can bring about such a diverse player base, without it I may have never found your channel. You're talented and I'm happy to have heard you play, especially because it's a game that's resonated in both of us 🙂 (at least to an extent).

Thanks for making such consistent and high quality piano arrangements! I remember using your sheet music like three years ago for Genshin music when it first came out. I’m glad to see Star Rail too. Your videos are always so beautiful ❤️

[@revelinknation]

The melody has been stuck in my head for days. It’s beautiful

[@zigazav1]

Same, but not because of the song's beauty, but because of the heart-tearing feeling of grief. I am drawn to what makes me suffer emotionally, and the grief of losing someone precious to you, hurts deeply... both Trailblazer and us, know how painful that is... When I played the part Firefly was killed, I felt the same as Stelle did (as I chose the female Trailblazer) upon seeing that she could not save Firefly: Broken down from grief, and an overwhelming loss of the life of someone one holds precious... This song still hurts me so much, like "Nightglow" breaks my heart... but instead of one sacrificing themselves to save the protag, Firefly was taken away from us as a victim, not someone who chose to die on their own terms..

[@glistica]

​@@zigazav1 I agree with you, this gives the same feeling of grief like Nightglow. That's why it's special to me. Firefly is like Kallen.

[@austyndewaele6687]

This scene in the game is like something straight out of a Makoto Shinkai movie. I hope I'm not the only one that felt that.

[@rillzy9637]

I’ve played HI3 and the rooftop scene will still take the top spot as favorite Honkai moment. I cried my eyes out even more so than ch 25 and ch 31. I really relate to Firefly also having a chronic illness that limits my life greatly. I’ve shared the same sentiments as Firefly. “I have a dream I want to achieve so badly in the real world, but I can’t”, hits me like a brick. Seeing the hope Firefly had, is one of the most encouraging and validating things I’ve experienced in a Honkai game. As much as we meme on him, Thank you Shaoji, for such a beautiful character. Also, she’s alive and I will have my told you so moment. 😂

Vietnamese verse Khi ban mai chưa đến phương này, khi đêm đen ôm lấy, khi ưu tư tăm tối phơi bày là ai gọi người thức dậy? Thời gian như giam cầm đôi chân, trời cao nhưng cô quạnh muôn phần, sợi dây sinh linh mong manh níu lấy..   ..để ngày hôm nay trở thành vĩnh viễn, che giấu sau vận mệnh mênh mông thực tại nối tiếp, biển trời bao la chỉ một ánh nến rọi soi cõi mộng lãng quên dáng ai ẩn hiện. ..để ngày hôm qua trở thành vĩnh viễn vô thức tôi cầu nguyện nhưng môi chẳng kịp nói hết tựa người vươn tay vượt khỏi số kiếp, trả cho đốm lửa cuối đêm giấc mơ đầu tiên.. đầu tiên..   Khi con tim mong muốn rung động, cơn mưa đêm buông xuống đem chim uyên giam giữ trong lồng, sợi dây vận mệnh trói buộc. Niềm lo âu ươm mầm thanh xuân, tự do hay nô lệ số phận? Trùng vây thương đau như đang thức giấc.. ..để ngày hôm nay trở thành vĩnh viễn, che giấu sau vận mệnh mênh mông thực tại nối tiếp, biển trời bao la chỉ một ánh nến rọi soi cõi mộng lãng quên tiếng ai gọi tên. ..để ngày hôm qua trở thành vĩnh viễn vô thức tôi cầu nguyện nhưng môi chẳng kịp nói hết tựa người vươn tay vượt khỏi số kiếp, trả cho đốm lửa cuối đêm giấc mơ đầu tiên.. đầu tiên..
