Hollow (Final Fantasy VII) || Ro Panuganti

Just in time for the #FinalFantasyVIIRemake it looks like we've got ourselves a new theme! I seriously love how much live performance, rock music, and in general soundtracks matter now! I took a few Pink Floyd and Foo Fighter reference points, my absolute best shot at vocals in a day (apologies, I'm definitely still learning there) and wanted to see what I could make in service of that! Enjoy, and yes actual content will be coming in time.

Who wants ACTUAL Final Fantasy 7 covers? Let me know below!! Also don't miss I've covered One Winged Angel, JENOVA, and more in my playlist!

I want the theme from Cosmo Canyon, and Red XIII's theme. Thank you so much!

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 broght 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 those 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 自分用

This is such an amazing cover!!!! You made me pick up my guitar again after a few years of not playing. I'm so inspired!!! Great job!!!

[@RoPanuganti]

Thank you, enjoy playing!!

[@charliemcbride9679]

I love the double meaning of the lyrics: 1. Cloud trying to find his identity and remember his past. 2. Us, the gamers, remembering the magical perfection that was FF7 and wondering why nothing has felt the same in the gaming world since.

[@ultimaomega6570]

You just described everything we feel.. just finished the remake and crying like a b. Rn.

[@BrooklynHeritage]

Happy this exists such a great effort and cover that does justice. Thanks for this 🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is amazing!!! I can't believe you did this all in a day man, holy shit. Your best vocal performance by far and really really sick arranging

[@RoPanuganti]

[@juma8126]

I'm literally listening to it on repeat. Great song! It's got this old-timey, classy vibe to it.

[@BinnyBongBaron_AoE]

And a year and half later, I still love this.

[@TeraCMusic]

Speedy Gonzales over here!! Loving the camera filter you got on this! Mad props for getting this out in record time 🎶

[@cloudsephiroth735]

Beautiful ❤

[@einootspork]

This song does have a Pink Floyd feel to it, doesn't it? I didn't notice that until now.

[@Henshingod]

I caught that too! Uematsu has said he's a huge fan of 70s prog rock, so it makes a lot of sense.

[@dannymusic]

Omigosh, I love this aesthetic so much and it's perfect and really suits your vocals and cinematography! Really well done, especially in the short time!

[@RoPanuganti]

Thanks Danny!! Something about echoing slides and light rock jams just rules

[@drdootphd]

How am I just now seeing this?! This is taking me back to my Opeth/Porcupine Tree fanboy roots. Just incredible production all the way through (your guitar tone is giving me goosebumps!)

[@RoPanuganti]

Thank you so much! I actually thought that a lot of this song drew from Pink Floyd's breathe? I also made this super quickly so I'm so relieved to know that you like it!

[@Soundole]

That's one hell of a turnaround time. Lovely work as always Ro!

[@RoPanuganti]

Thanks!! It was definitely a tight turnaround, but less was more with a lot of the layers!

[@nightshadevii5196]

Okay but I legitimately enjoy this more than the official version of the song? It just resonates with me more. Absolutely beautiful cover!

[@RoPanuganti]

Thank you!!!

[@alexplaza6562]

Pretty please, don't take too long to get this on Spotify...this was amazing😊

[@RoPanuganti]

Thanks! I will release it, polished more, on Spotify when the official OST comes out (since that's the legal way to do so).

[@maxmorgan3370]

I wanted to buy this on Amazon music to support your amazing rendition of this song, but I can't find it anywhere, not even when clicking the link! But fantastic job, man, I love it!

[@RoPanuganti]

I appreciate that! Unfortunately you can't sell covers of songs that haven't come out yet, and we still have to wait just a little while longer for this one to be out

[@ukallii]

(SPOILER OF ORIGINAL FFVII) I can't decide if this song is like a Cloud to Sepheroth dialogue or not because if it is, then Cloud is like Stockholm Syndrome to Sepheroth, which I'm kind of digging considering his schizophrenia. Or is it more of a Cloud to Tifa considering that she's the one who helped him put the pieces back together after he fell apart and realized his whole life was a lie based on Zack's life? Or Cloud to Aerith considering that she healed him and helped him open up again for the first time since Zack's death? So many double meanings! I love it!

[@GDD1231]

listening to this after i heard of Miura's death...respects

[@serenagentili6719]

Can I have the guitar chords tab please? this is amazing!

[@RoPanuganti]

I don't have tabs for any of my videos (in the description). The song is in A Major, just slow down the original or my video and you'll figure out the progression in no time!

[@dylonbrady1022]

[@RoPanuganti]

[@kaisersose83]

I think this song is about Cloud's last memory of Zack, those who played Crisis Core will know. BTW you performed great, thank you for this cover.

[@Thanh89213]

about him and aerith

[@sakuracardcaptor4709]

Its obvious about Cloud x Aerith.

[@kaisersose83]

@@sakuracardcaptor4709 try to merge text and music, it would not be so obvious anymore. The sound, the pitch and the tone are the same used in Crisis Core's songs.

[@user-tq3zr9wj8i]

Cloud is stright I think it's about aerith

[@leopan7513]

kaisersose83 Why everybody says it’s CA? Wasn’t Tifa that eventually made C whole ? Wasn’t Tifa who gave the original motivations for C to become a solder? This is for Tifa ok?

[@endurance_pilot]

Stunning 😳👍

[@AArdW01f]

I believe rather firmly this song is about both Aerith and Tifa. You can really see it however you want. Playing remake has only made me believe this more.
