Tifa's Theme

[@KlooKloo]

While Aerith's Theme has an unforgettable melody, this is the one that settles somewhere deeper in your memory. You could put this on a loop all day every day. Like Tifa herself, it's a song to live with.

[@Modioman69]

Todd Simmons So true. It’s the reason my wife let me play this during our wedding. Not during the isle walk but after. Also thanks for the fantastic upload if you read this.

[@siloecruz6477]

Exactly this!! 👏

[@dantepereda]

That theme brings me back many years ago when I was a boy with many dreams and illusions, a lot of nostalgia.Thanks.

[@anthonymolnar7995]

Im sure you dont check these comments much anymore, but ive probably listened to your ff7 work a few hundred times since i discovered them. They get me through a lot of tough times. Thanks for doing what you do and keep at it.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you! I try to read them all and react to them in one way or another :) I’m actually playing FFVII for the very first time on twitch, and it’s quite an experience! After I finish, I’m seriously considering recording the entire soundtrack 😱

[@MarcoSalasSlashK]

Tifa Lockhart is kinda my role model, someone kind and strong, with struggles and virtues, someone who keeps hope in love, someone Brave !!! Thank you for playing this song.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you for this Marcus :)

[@davewantz1766]

20 years later, when my mind wanders, I still find myself humming this song absentmindedly. It really is a beautiful piece, and you played it flawlessly. Thank you.

[@triplea657aaa]

This channel is CRIMINALLY under-watched. By far the best pianist doing game/anime music on KZbin that I've seen, and I've been scouring for a long time.

[@numsomssoms2173]

I like all of your Final fantasy pieces. You play them perfectly, with no error and perfect sound quality. Your use of the foot pedal is perfect and at the right time. Your touches on the keys are delicate until force is necessary. I think you play the songs how Nobueu Uematsu meant them to be played...in a classical manner. Well done miss...hope to see more video game songs from you in the future.

[@KaraComparetto]

Wow thank you so much for this, I'm so honored by your compliments! I know that there are mistakes in most of my recordings, but I hope that they're not noticeable. I agree with what you said about Uematsu intending them to be played in classical style. I received oodles and gobs of Final Fantasy music for Christmas, as well as some Zelda too! I'm looking forward to getting back at it :)

[@DJingga]

he's in love with you as well =p

[@MacCampers84]

she's mine u shit :'(

[@tomzhangus]

MacCampers lol you kids stop fighting for her. She has a boyfriend in real life I'm sure. Don't be creeps man.

[@vangmx]

And not to mention, she's playing on a beautiful Steinway and Sons grand piano. Not everyone has the opportunity to even play a Steinway or even have one in their own homes. Of course, you can be a professional pianist and still sound great on a mediocre piano but a nice piano will make the pieces you play sound even better. Great playing nonetheless! :)

[@joshuakegley3524]

As much as I love Aerith's theme, Tifa's theme just brings such a calming peace to me. What I really love about this performance is that she gives it the motion it needs at just the right moments to really make you feel this piece. Kara always puts forth her best interpretations of the music she shares and I always look forward to the next video she puts out. Thank you, Kara for sharing your passion with us!

[@SvenPrime]

Beautiful. Please, never stop playing.

[@catm4403]

I remember playing this game the very day it came out and not knowing what an JRPG was all about. I was bored to death after 15 minutes but somehow I kept on playing. Now I believe that I fell in love with this game at the moment I heard this melody. It was the first time I had some sort of deep emotion while playing a game. It became the most memorable game I played in my life. Thank you for this sensational cover, keep on shinning.

[@slonison]

literally get goosebumps listening to this. I can literally picture the moments of the game listening to this... sitting on the water tower anyone?

[@KaraComparetto]

Aw...I love that I can bring back good memories for people with my playing. I mysself have good memories of this music..it touches me as well

[@adamtv0124]

It's beautiful. I want to express everything with this word. I can feel the soul of lovely Tifa.

[@fatarules]

Tears falling down, what a performance so impresive cheers to you, such an honor to be alive to watch your talent thanks 4 this saint KZbin!

[@CrabMeatElite]

I always have a preconceived first couple notes in my head when I click on your vids, and you know how to subvert my expectations in a positive way with your arrangements. I know I've stated it before, but you present such a fine balance by remaining faithful to the original while being original. All that to say, that was a very lovely arrangement-Tifa's theme doesn't get enough recognition. After listening to dozens of your arrangements, your channel is now my #1 favorite out of them all and a real blessing in my life.

[@KaraComparetto]

oh my goodness

[@SPAK1285]

I love your renditions of all of these video game soundtrack favorites! Thank you for sharing.

[@lsh10303]

Thanks to the heaven that it allows you and me to exist in the same generation. Beautifully touching, beautifully performed. You have special emotions beyond the great techniques. Thank you Kara.

[@KaraComparetto]

Aw haha that made me smile, well thank you very much, I'm so glad you enjoy the music. You all are the reason why I keep at it. :)

[@tomf3335]

I absolutely love this version. The song is so pretty.

[@JimmyOnGuitar]

This is the best Tifa's Theme on the internet. Such expressive playing, I've got chills!

[@Phazon_Corrupted]

Did you play my piano? "Yea, I jammed on it!"

[@nickparsons337]

How utterly astounding that your playing could be as beautiful as you are. Life never ceases to intrigue or amaze me.

[@BboyFever]

Bravo! Well done. You really captured the feeling of the piece. Played absolutely beautifully

[@Wessimus]

I always loved Tifa's theme. In a story founded on a lot of tragedy, it gave a sense of ease. Almost like it's saying "Welcome home."

[@Duhemsounds]

You get all the loveliness of the piece, beautiful interpretation Kara

[@RafaelSilvaLivroDorri]

Everything you play is beautiful. You are beautiful. Your choice of songs, the way you play with your soul... thank you.

[@dlew28]

As a FFVll fan, and lover of music, all I can say is.. INCREDIBLE! Never stop doing what you're doing!

[@warbotctv446]

you're as beautiful as your music - finally someone who understands how these songs make me feel, no girl i've ever met has they just think i'm weird but they don't know final fantasy

[@holamoco]

1:17-2:08 This part gets me emotional everytime. Oh Tifa...

[@clyk48]

This is my personal favorite theme of all the Final Fantasy music, and it makes me so happy that you covered this theme. I am now subbed to your channel and gonna be listening to all your piano videos and reliving the Final Fantasy nostalgia. Excellent performance!

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you! Nostalgia is my favorite word you guys use, it makes me happy to bring back good childhood memories. Thank you for your sub, I hope to come out with more good content each time :)

[@foxmccloud7540]

This is so beautiful that it brought me to tears.

[@SkeletonsYouControlHaveHaste]

I had a God awful head splitting head ache today. Got off work, put this on, immediately feel better. Thank you Kara 😊

[@icaropinto7332]

My eyes broke, such nostalgia. Thank you so much for making me revive one of the best parts of my life.

[@UnknownKnower2]

I fell in love with this song on first listen about 2 years ago. your version is beautiful too. I wish i had the kind of control and emotional expressiveness in my piano touch as you do! I want to perform this piece one day with all the emotion as you did

[@KaraComparetto]

Keep playing every day! A musician is someone who makes music every day, and you'll no doubt get better and better. Play lots of music, don't stick with one piece. Get a book of easy pieces and play all of them in a day. That's the best way to develop skill, musicality and appreciation :)

[@shhteve]

I think I'm in love.

[@RonLo]

I just love to see the feeling of the song in your hands as they move about.

[@alanwong5440]

The music is soft like a baby bird, but the nostalgia kicks hard like Tifa's punch. Whenever I listen to this song, the images of Cloud and Tifa sitting under the starry night pops up in my mind. Thank you for the beautiful music !

[@KaraComparetto]

aww!!

[@danielmelo5477]

incredible!!!

[@courtneyscott2615]

Awesome. This game and the music really did have a positive impact on my life.

[@davidcourtney-qh6py]

Beautiflied done. Thank you for your rendition.

[@damodamo6676]

Truly truly amazing. Beautifully played. Love this piece anyway but you just stormed it. Best I have heard it played.

[@kailockyear8524]

I've only just stumbled upon you, on KZbin. I've been obsessed with the ff7 pieces since the game came out. I still play them, as best as I can, almost every day. I spent a little over 3 years constructing a ff7 medly which comprises of 7 pieces. I don't read or write music, so I've always played by ear and written it in my head lol but to hear you play so beautifully and seemingly effortlessly... I could never play with that level of perfection. Almost makes me envious. You are, in every manor of the word, beautiful. Thank you! Xxx

[@Kaneda2019]

It's amazing how Kara is able to put her own signature on masterpieces & still uphold the intended meaning from the original composer's. So well executed Kara 🙂

[@Xardion-Zero]

Beautiful Kara, You are amazing!

[@hunterofendermen367]

I know I replied about a month ago, but I just cannot get over how well you played this piece. I dnl and saved this video as an mP3 version and it has now replaced an older Tifa's theme mP3, which was an orchestrated version. Yes, your playing of Tifa's theme is so much better than a full orchestra. Thank you Kara.

[@KaraComparetto]

Wow thank you! As I'm telling others, I rerecorded this theme last week and will be releasing it on my spotify/itunes album in the coming week. I think the new recording is even BETTER than this one and I'm so excited to share it with you!

[@hunterofendermen367]

Kara Comparetto Looking forward to hearing it when it comes out on spotify/iTunes!!

[@Reasonably-Sane]

Your skillful rendition of this piece made me feel the same as I did when first seeing this scene in the game so long ago. I'm amazed at how well you captured the emotion of this theme so perfectly! You've earned a new subscriber.

[@KaraComparetto]

Wow thank you for these kind words!!

[@shlaza]

Haven't been able to stop watching since I discovered the first one! All the FF pieces are awesome. Chrono Trigger and Zelda were amazing too. Love your work.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you! I want to do more Zelda for sure!!

[@jamilp2869]

Again... love your Uematsu interpretations! Thank you for taking this music seriously. I'm going to check out your classical stuff!

[@andysmith7638]

Incredible ability. You have talent. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

Tifa was one of my favorite characters to use in FF7! =D

[@frankthetank136]

Beautiful cover, thanks for sharing

[@michaelcarnevale103]

Wow, so beautiful and amazing. You moved my heart on a sad and rainy day. Thanks.

[@AngelCristofalo]

All Ff are carved deep in my heart when i was a Child ff was my entire world,today i remember that in your músic dear,thanks and keep going,goddess

[@kainelee8774]

you nailed it! Perfect Victory~

[@SRP1973]

I can't even listen to this without tears.... one of the most magical moments in my life happened with this piece of music....

[@KaraComparetto]

Aww!

[@Myrkskog]

I think this is my favourite performance of yours. I've always preferred Tifa's Theme over Aerith's and you play it exquisitely. A joy to watch and listen.

[@hunterofendermen367]

OMG Thank you for playing Tifa's theme. FFVII is my FAVORITE game and I fell in love with Tifa's theme and you played it perfectly. Great job!!!

[@dwarfymcgee]

Again, bravo! I love this rendition of a classic! Thank you for the effort that you put into these pieces! Big thumbs up!

[@DJingga]

such a beautiful piece. beautifully played as well =D.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you very much! I took a Christmas break but I'm excited to get back to recording more of these beautiful Final Fantasy themes :) Hope your holidays were nice!

[@mackyybanez5094]

I love final fantasy 7! This is the best piano video i saw on youtube, you’re really amazing! Thank you for doing what you love!

[@KaraComparetto]

It's one of my favorites from VII! Thank YOU for listening :)

[@andrewbuchan8303]

I was actually on another computer screen doing some work, heard this song, stopped what I was doing, and then came to see the beautiful music - this is played so well it's unbelievable.

[@KaraComparetto]

So happy to hear that!! :D

[@mikefronk9579]

I love this song and u play it so beautifully, u brought a tear to my eye, thank you!👍🏾

[@MacCampers84]

still in love with u, the choice of your songs, your way to play, just wow :*

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you!!! I do admit I have good taste hehehehe :D

[@MacCampers84]

Are you playing FF musics because you like the game or you just like the soundtracks ? :) My only dream is that you play some chrono chross soundtrack or old rpg like you did with chrono trigger or zelda, i know for sure when i saw you play some chopin that your talent are infinite, can"t wait for the next one

[@KaraComparetto]

I like the sound tracks, but I also love the games although I haven't played most of them. I completed IX, but Final Fantasy 1 was my first! I'm currently an avid XIV player, and I'm almost finished with XV! But my first reason for posting these was because I love the music. I played Chrono Cross and Zelda (Loved both those games!), and have some nice arrangements of Chrono Cross music I'd like to get out here. Check out my video of Gerudo Valley from Zelda Ocarina of Time!

[@MacCampers84]

Yeah i already watch , that was fantastic !!! and btw be sure i watched all your videos haha, it is so perfect when i work, and i love the way you move and your facial expression you got like me when you play, that's the thing you notice and the bareer between someone who just play for fun and the one who play with passion :) I talked to you about these games because they have others songs that you might love and enjoy to play (it stay in the same spirit that the songs you usually play), and I just saw that you did some Live stream, is it possible to propose you one or two songs for the next one ? I'll be the first to watch hehe, even with time differences :DD (sorry for my bad english, i'm still a novice, it's hard to find the right words ^^)

[@Soulill0quy]

This is one of my favorite arrangements of the theme! Beautiful interpretation; takes its time without sounding too plodding. It's like hearing it again the first time :D

[@robert88greiver]

loves the melody that you played, just wake my childhood imagination about final fantasy..

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you, I always love to hear about those nostalgic feelings!!

[@lawrencefitzgerald4744]

You did an amazing job! Absolutely beautiful!

[@mykolas566]

Excellent rendition, perfectly played. Thanks for uploading.

[@raikiri74]

You deserve so much more followers. Thanks for this greqt moment

[@Zaitann]

Simply beautiful. :)

[@pulsefrequency2113]

This sent chills down my spine as old childhood ff7 memories consumed me. Amazing work!!

[@paolochang4142]

You really know how to transmit tifa's gentleness and kindness

[@jimbersmcimbers]

Why have I only just stumbled across your channel?! Marvellous!

[@linkfake4177]

Came here after playing the remake. Literally brought back amazing memories from when I first played the game all those years ago...

[@classicsagat]

This is beautiful! You play this so well! OMG thank you!

[@ashshogun1994]

thank you for the beautiful performance. keep it up!

[@Charles_on_the_Line]

I cant thank you enough for playing this. I enjoyed every second of it. And wanted to say your skills are absolutely on par. They say music can be magical at times and you ma'am, played this with amazing grace and talent. Whereever you are.......thank you. I really mean it..... kudos and much love from a huge fan. ✌✌✌

[@arthurloyer6184]

It is very good Kara! thank you!

[@joonpak]

Dude, you're freaking amazing. You inspire me to dust off the ol' keys (which I won't do)!

[@Stratopeter87]

I've started learning this piece on the piano but I'm nowhere near your level. Your beautiful and excellent performance really inspires me to keep going, thank you for that!

[@ReynoldsCosta]

I would love to watch your rendition of it. How is it going?

[@brunoprilip35]

So beautifull! And nostalgic. Thanks 👍

[@MiguelGarcia_ATW]

Magnificent! Great interpretation!!!

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you so much Miguel

[@rodrigosierpe5995]

I just love this piece. This and Tatakau Monotachi are the most moving pieces of the whole ff7:ac collection (even though they inspire quite different feelings). I also love how how Kara plays it. The warmth she puts in this piece is absolutely amazing. A distant third would be that Kara is absolutely stunning. Beautiful AND talented? This is too much

[@KaraComparetto]

This is one of the first pieces by Uematsu I learned two years ago. I think I made a good choice!!

[@rodrigosierpe5995]

Kara Comparetto certainly. It's a well known one, and it's always better to start with a strong punch of you have the chance 😁 While at this, have you ever tried some arrangement of Shiro Sagisu's "Going home"? It's for guitar but I guess it'd sound great on piano. It has a somehow similar feel to this tune.

[@benarnusarateerarak8194]

Another favorite of mine! My day is just getting started and you've already made my day reach its peak. :D

[@KaraComparetto]

I'm glad to have made your day spectacular! That makes my night fantastic :)

[@witnessprotection430]

ahhh this touches my heart.

[@RicronjunRick]

Beauty at its highest expression. You enchant.

[@JustMakeItNazi]

Just absolutley besutiful you brought a smile to my day. Thank you!

[@ThePhysicalReaction]

FF7 remake was such a great thing. Tifa was such a badass. This song brings me back. I hope their new one is equally as good

[@odra_ude]

Beautiful song, and a perfect performance. I wish I could play so well. Makes me remind of the good old days :)

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you :) One of my favorite things is being able to bring back good memories for someone :)

[@Trancelistic]

I really like to learn this song. Lots of memories.

[@Pain_Pies]

Ohh i love that you pick this theme to cover. I feel that this is one of the most underrated track of ffvii and many people just seem to have missed it. So i am delighted to have you cover this track, and what a cover it is. Because you did a marvelous job with this one. Thank you, miss. For giving me the pleasure of listening to your cover of this track.

[@KaraComparetto]

It was one of my first too! :)

[@Pain_Pies]

Kara Comparetto well then, you picked a great track to start with.

[@MightyFrostDragon]

My eyes are watery, thank you for this nostalgia bomb.

[@azwarmuharram2399]

My fav from ffvii music is main theme. But I like this too, it has a gentle caring feel. I think Tifa is like mother/reliable big sister for the team.
