To Zanarkand from Final Fantasy X // Fantasy style flute cover

The track is now available for streaming and purchase: heline.fanlink...
My submission to the #SoundoleChillOut2021 competition.
I covered this piece of video game music back in the day. Actually, I think it was one of the first covers on this channel. I've grown so much from that as a musician. Thank you for being part of this journey so far. And special thanks to my Patrons for believing in what I do.

Hi! My name is Heline and I am a Finnish flute player. I make flute covers, improvise and play classical music. I also create informational videos about flute playing and some other instruments I play (Akai Pro EWI5000, ocarina, dizi).

[@cliffordparmeter6940]

Very peaceful...

[@macenblu6]

lovely....thanks

[@barryl.spencer1564]

Wonderful.

[@tarek_maza]

You got my thumb of approval!

[@peterlarsson691]

So Beautiful 😻

[@PeterTurnerBexley12]

Lovely

[@TheSeaisSilent]

I heard today that this was originally composed for a flautist! Your version sounds like what must have been going through Uematsu’s mind as he wrote it. I really loved it.

[@caufield88uk]

Ha. That's why I'm here also. I heard that too and wanted to hear it on Flute.

[@loriarmstrong5541]

Same! I wanted to hear how it was intended. ❤ this is beautiful.

[@sirsquid577]

Lol me too

[@deranged-games]

i love this! i just bought my girlfriend a little music box that plays this melody and i came across this video by accident. Really sounds lovely and relaxing :)

[@tedkay_music]

Cool!

[@edwardhugus2772]

Very nice, oh, and the music was great, too. That 1 thumbs down must have been a miss hit, who on earth could not like that music?

[@josefkrakel9136]

Excellent pinky form

[@mscir]

Very nice.

[@colin-4794]

Wonderful, beautiful, thank you so much.

[@monsieug]

Beautiful! So much emotion in every note!

[@alanjones4188]

Beautiful. Thank you Heline.

[@simonhjc]

Beautiful

[@dennispetzold869]

Wow. Her style is lovely. She's so talented.

[@HelineFay]

Aw thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😊🎼

[@PoetDreamer]

It's like entering a new dimension, like a kaleidoscope of emotions ... you can make even the covers become "yours", absolutely fantastic 💖😉

[@HelineFay]

Wow, thank you! 💜😊

[@kajlennartsson4234]

Thanks for the beautiful music. You make me happy.

[@HelineFay]

Aww thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[@danielc5205]

Very pretty and so is the music.

[@Duhemsounds]

You have a very beautiful flute playing, great entry for the contest

[@nusskopf0910]

one of my favorit songs for so many years ❤

[@danfreeman5301]

I am....you are so very beautiful. Your talent overshadows....and I honour your beauty singularly. Bless you, Ms.

[@theohioshirey]

BRAVO! I didn't want it to end 🌿 Watching you play was like beholding the blossoming of a beautiful 🌺 spring flower, thank you, Heline, Blessings 💝🕊️🙏

[@InWitheNew]

This is my favorite video game song ever. You did a great job of it. You're going on my bed time playlist.

[@christianmeyer6724]

Uplifting emotions with a magical touch. Just beautiful !

[@pierrelaliberte3964]

Helene, you just made my heart ache with this song. Thank you.

[@a1468k]

A beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing...

[@karlbrown4617]

Dreamy 💖

[@grymatgreen6708]

Tone smooth as silk. Very nice

[@moises935]

é incrivel a atmosfera que é construida ao longo da música, para quando chegar no refrão sua mente já está toda envolvida.

[@moepassley6780]

So relaxing. Beautiful.

[@dennisclark6315]

Well it has also been nice learning from you and watching you grow as a person who is believing in what we believe in, which is you!

[@thebestalcachofaninguno3342]

This is just beautiful.

[@michaeldyer4159]

Loved it ❤️

[@terralumenphotography1949]

Beautifully done Heline! Songtsen.

[@HelineFay]

Glad you like it!

[@scooterjones303]

Cool I was just listening to the original version earlier today. Nice coincidence. Thanks!

[@Dickprint1]

Ummm, it wasn't a coincidence. Google knew you had listened to the same song earlier that day, but, instead of realizing Google knows what you do, buy, who you speak with, where you go, what you listen to, etc., you wrongly -- and naively -- chalk it up to coincidence. Be careful, bro, they know everything about you, and it's not by coincidence or a good guess. And that ain't conspiracy.

[@scooterjones303]

@@Dickprint1 im familiar with how recommendations work. But I listen to her play the flute everyday regardless of if it shows up on my recommendations so i would have listened to her play this song regardless of what I listened to previously in the day. Yes it is still a coincidence that she decided to post the video after I listened to the same song earlier. Google didn't go back in time and have her prepare this video to post in order to followup on a song choice I made in the present. Just regular coincidence at play here.

[@OrchestraEclipse]

Loved this flute cover, great job :)

[@HelineFay]

Thanks a lot! 🎼

[@AllisonMartin]

Magic metal air stick!! Flute seriously has some otherworldly properties because I have no idea how to make sounds come out...and your tone is just pure, warm, amazing sound! And you have just the right energy/phrasing for this chill vibe. I love it!!

[@sancho8521]

...Thank you so much Heline. Just perfect for our Memorial Day (USA) Remembering the fallen everywhere.

[@sancho8521]

Thank YOU Sweetie

[@rdouglas1965]

Such wonderful tone. Gorgeous!

I absolutely love your tone and vibrato!! Your phrasing and everything just fits the song so well!

[@hyacinthlynch843]

So beautifully soothing. Perfect for relaxing in the garden. You never disappoint Heline.❤

[@ExtraTwitchyGentleman]

Absolutely lovely! 👏👏

[@HelineFay]

Thank you so much 💜

[@dingdove1]

First, beautiful playing... But also YAY! I finally realized who you look like. Willow and Tara Forever! (Amber Benson if you are not a Buffy fan) :)

[@robertbutler4672]

Hi Heline. That was wonderful, it's nice to come home after a hard day and listen to a piece so soothing and beautiful. You're a special talent and thanks for all you do.

[@HelineFay]

Thank you so much! 😊 Glad you enjoed it

[@swright2134]

I have been listening to your videos while I do a bunch of homework, your pretty amazing to listen to. Thank you for sharing :)

[@volkerschreinert1061]

I do know your videos, your reactions ( I listen to Jethro Till no for 40 years… feeling old now 😂) and I really enjoy them. Thanks so much, you put a sunshine in every moment you play the flute. Specially with this song. 🥰. But also with many other tunes. All the best for you!

[@michaelhawthorne8696]

That was sweet Heline....thanks for that......💖

[@viennapalace]

Bravo Heline! And kudos to your accompanist!

[@HelineFay]

I made the track from scratch, so thank you. 😊

[@MrCthur]

the goosebumps.

[@BlackTecc]

Great cover of a great song :)

[@robertcrowder5417]

Perfectly played

[@keithcarper8809]

very chill,

[@HelineFay]

Thank you 💜

[@xarddam]

what a beautiful melody. Wonderfully played. Every tone is soothing my soul. I believe in good music, so I believe in what you're doing I never cared a lot about listening to video game music, since about November last year. Guess why that’s changed since then ... ? ;-) Thanks for sharing all this gorgious music with us

[@Soundole]

This was such a nice introduction to your work! I really enjoyed all of your sensitive phrasing and the gentle warm accompaniment you've put together. Masterful work, I'm looking forward to hearing more of your music in the future!

[@HelineFay]

Thank you so much! Means a lot 😊

[@midnight8ngel]

So beautifully performed by a beautiful woman.

[@vladomie]

No breathing sounds - nicely done.

[@misiddiai]

This is what dreams sound like 🥰

[@joaofreita579]

Very good, you after this have a great portuguese fan. What you think about John Hackett brother of Steve Hackett (Genesis) Peter Gabriel play flute too. Sorry for my english.

[@dusan1449]

nice piece of music, well played, like this. What are you thinking of while paying relaxed ?

[@eileensu5756]

Hi, I stumbled upon your wonderful work, you are amazing! ! I want to play it to the church members. Where can I find the score of this piece?

[@SufyMusic]

hi heline, goosebumps from 2002/2003 from me

[@AlanPototsky]

No flutter tongue? jk! Lovely!

[@remiwong592]

Beautifully covered! Anywhere I can find the sheet music of it?

[@georgeedens3178]

just would like to give you a band to listen to Tedeschi and Trucks Band there keyboard player who passed away about 3 years ago was an excellent flutist But the hole band is made up of some very talented musicians so please check them out! You have a beautiful sound I injoy watching your show but you definitely need more variety, also the Marshall Tucker band is one of my likes

[@gian7644]

is harder to play the flute or the piano?

[@trollycharly6403]

What flute is she using

[@paddymulligan]

Hi Heline, Love your output and love the flute. I wonder if you've ever checked of Jazz Funk, Soul Jazz flautist Bobbi Humphrey? I heard her song Harlem River Drive & thought you might like it en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobbi_Humphrey All the best Hughie

[@fezzypepper8525]

Brian Alves again. Very nice playing, but break out Hilene!!! Make that flute SING!!! Make it speak. Give it it's own voice! Punish it! Give it life!!! I've played professionally, mostly solo, for years. Keyboard my addiction of choice. I don't determine how good or bad I am, others do...by paying to see me!!! And they have. Give it feeling! Improvise! Write what you feel...then make it yours. BREAK AWAY FROM THE LIMITATIONS OF CLASSICAL TRAINING. It's soooooooo myopic!!There's soooooo much more beyond simple, classical training and simply playing note-for-note what others have written. Be a beast to your flute, a mother, a friend, a teacher, whatever. Take it to the next level, then take it to the next level, then take it to the next level! I dare say that classically rained musicians who have not ventured outside-of-the-box often get stuck.. Expand your mind! I want to see you work that thing!!! Sorry to say this, but at your level you have no right to judge Ian Anderson. Sorry...nothing personal, but you could LEARN from him versus judging him f you realize that he is a master. He may not be the greatest flute player of all time in the classical arena. But dont miss the obvious...look/listen/feel the combination of flutist, writer, performer, stage man, historian, flamboyancy, anarchist, tongue in cheek storyteller, wise guy, wise man! I've seen Jethro Tull twice, once at the Providence Civic Center the day before his Madison Square Garden performance that was broadcasted all over the world live!!! A first! Never before was there a live performance broadcasted globally. Ian Anderson is a genius. I hope one day you can see it. Best, Brian Best

[@betacygni]

I thoroughly enjoyed those Heline-Tull videos, obviously I was foolish to do so ;). Einstein was a genius who played the violin, but don't think many considered him a genius WITH the violin.

[@timper4326]

I want to hear Jethro Tull's version, use more tongue honey Swing that flute around, and put on some tights, you're on Tullevision.

[@HelineFay]

If you want to hear JT's version, why don't you ask them to play their version of this? This is me doing my thing on my channel :)

[@timper4326]

@@HelineFay wow, you replied, then I must begin with an apology, I didn't mean to upset you. My comments on the tongue, swinging the flute and the tights was his schtick, I know you are totally opposite, the Tullevision was a large screen used at his concerts so we could see him close-up. Yes, I'm old, I've seen him in concert since the early '70s but watching your expression seeing him for the first time was priceless, believe it or not he was much more animated than the clips you watched. Again, I apologize if I upset you in any way that was not my intent. Love you stay sweet.

[@3halfshadows]

Please do a reaction video to classical indian flute playing. Maybe Rakesh Chaurasia, there are a couple shorter videos on darbarfestival channel appropriate for reaction.
