Aerith's Theme (Final Fantasy VII Piano Collections)(Nobuo Uematsu)

[@lemon0189]

This song breaks my heart but I loved the way you played it. ❤

[@scopeh2006]

Anyone who ever says videogames cannot be beautiful pieces of art must be absolutely dead inside. Visually, narratively and in this case audibly.

[@BlueBookGuy]

Agreed 100% and so surprised the lack of repsonse given the gaming industry is bigger than films. This melody, this song, is beyond beautiful ...and want this when my soul leaves this planet..

[@interessantegedachtes5448]

I am crying I wish I could do a grouphug with FF7 lovers now.

[@keiharris332]

We love you

[@Nobuhara]

Yeah, I feel ya. Saddest moment in VG history imho.

[@keiharris332]

@@Nobuhara it really felt like she died in reality... As if it was someone I knew and wanted to see succeed. Man. Strong opening of empathy when we were young.

Wish I could reach out and hug Aerith.........but she's gone 😭

No existe nada más hermoso en la vida que ver a Kara tocando esta pieza. Nunca me canso de escucharla y de verla ❤

[@niall2236]

I dont know of youll see this, but youre the reason i started learning piano and ive just finished learning this all the way throigh! It was my goal from when i first started learning and now im teaching my daughter how to play :) so just wanted to say thanks

[@KaraComparetto]

Wow!! I love hearing this, thank you for sharing!! 🩷🩷🩷 I wish you the best on your musical journey 🩷

[@curtisscism1522]

One of the most iconic pieces of FFVII. Such a beautiful piece whether it be full orchestra or on piano. Great job Kara.

[@birchgarden2238]

I love your interpretation of this song. Aerith's Theme draws its beauty from simple elegance, which you bring out perfectly. You've given each part its due care and accentuation, but it never gets overbearingly dramatic or sentimental. The sadness and hopefulness in this piece comes from its unforced flow, just like how Aerith and her decisions were in FF VII.

[@averyatnip3748]

My favorite part about this video was 2:20 Subtle differences in a musician's timing can add such a nice effect to an already beautiful piece. Nice hemiola :)

[@KaraComparetto]

Ah yes, the three over two! (Or two over three) I just yesterday had someone ask how I played this part and if I could give him tips haha. I think after being a musician for so long, you develop a natural skill for being able to hear and play both hands musically separate. I'm really glad you appreciated this part!! :)

[@joeyflyntz8229]

I recently downloaded the original FF VII and replayed it (100 hours of game play). First time I had played it since 1997 and wanted to remember why it has stuck with me for so long. The story still holds up, the characters are great and you quickly forget about the bad polygon graphics and get immersed. But what really did it for me is reliving the music. The music is the separator. It perfectly binds you to the characters and the narrative. It's a masterpiece. And now I can't stop watching all your renditions. Thank you for doing this so we can relive it so easily. I look forward to your renditions of whatever original music comes out of the remake. You're amazing.

[@aaronokemaysim7310]

even if you have never played FF7, you somehow captured all the essence and value of the original song beautifully. well played!

[@JebBradwell]

O God the feels... Such a beautiful song for a loved departed.

[@nevercold808]

What a terrific performance! This music just fits the character so perfectly... it's a truly beautiful piece

[@autodidact16]

This is arguably the most beautiful rendition I've heard of this piece. Thanks, Kara!

[@toshi2710]

Your emotions are transmitted to me through the piano.I think this communication is the original role of art.I'm glad I got to meet you.

[@ikelee]

Listening to this took me back to when I first played FF7. I remember downloading an MP3 of this track and listening to it on Winamp for months. Good times.

[@KaraComparetto]

I’m finally playing FFVII for the first time :) (the original)

[@富士サワシ]

I was playing FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH and came across your video. This is a beautiful piano performance.

[@Chocoboloft]

when this piece is playing during boss fight, you know the feeling -intense emotion

[@jyajoutdoors894]

wow! awesome! playing! brings back so much childhood memories when I played FFVII in 1997. 🖒🖒👏👏💓😢😢

[@KaraComparetto]

It's the nostalgia I can give to you all that makes me inspired to continue playing. :) I know the feeling too! Thank you :)

[@jyajoutdoors894]

😊😊👍

[@illsoyung111]

Kara, this is so beautiful. Idk how many times I've listened to this shit. It's fucking dank. I love you dude!

There are no more games and soundtracks like these. Beautiful piece, well played. Thanks for the memories.

Takes me back to my childhood, long live FF7. Absolutly stunning performance from this very gifted pianist. Thankyou.

[@hansongnaily]

The piano is so in tune... great resonance

[@NP-Channel]

The Final Fantasy series is far superior to many of fiction and adventure novels out there, especially FF7 and FF8. They formed my personality, my taste in music, my living inspiration.

[@1lapmagic]

If you think this you honestly haven't really read any good books. This game was emotionally memorable and life impacting, but the stories of video games are pretty much garbage compared to good novels. There aren't any video game stories that compete with the stories of good novels. The depth isn't there.

[@henrymanahan2764]

@@1lapmagic Lord of the Rings for example off the top of my head. So many works of fiction exploring the human condition written by incredible people

[@RicoLen1]

@@1lapmagic "There aren't any video game stories that compete with the stories of good novels." Go play the Mass Effect trilogy. Frodo & friends, Jon Snow and company, the House of Rahl, Rand Al'Thor and his kind, none of them have the depth of character as the crew of the Normandy and the story is better too, plus there's music and video. It won't be very long until all the good games are better than books. Final Fantasy 7 tells a very in-depth story (wait until the remake comes out in March of 2020) that only a good book can match, and the best of games like the Mass Effect Trilogy or even a single game like Red Dead Redemption 2 can and do surpass what a book can do. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2K5qqt7o5ekpsU

[@1lapmagic]

@@RicoLen1 hahaha..this opinion is bad enough without the fact that you reference only fantasy literature to make your point

[@RicoLen1]

@@1lapmagic I do that because fantasy and other high fiction is just about all video games currently cover. That however doesn't nor shouldn't deter from the point I'm making, which is that books are literally written inside of video games that bring them to life on a more visceral level all while spending dozens of hours fleshing out character detail and plot and motives as well as any book. It's really not up to a matter of opinion, it's fact, and there's no reason to prejudicially laugh it off. These points are objectively provable and a trilogy like Mass Effect does so brilliantly. I've no doubt in my mind that in future generations the 'great American novel' will be published first as a video game and offer the definitive experience, especially as the more close-minded among us today age out of the system of both media consumers and producers. Music, such as what Kara is playing already proves the point, seeing as how this is a video game soundtrack and is better than 90% of the music written in the last 30 years. There is absolutely nothing stopping the exact same thing happening with storytelling and character development as well.

Kara I am listening to all your vids as I am working today and there aren't words for how beautifully and expressively you play. So hard to concentrate and not get caught up in the music. Simply breathtaking! Wherever the road may take you, know you have an amazing ability to entertain, inspire and uplift. Thank you for sharing that ability with the world. Cliff

[@jekk23]

heartbreaking elegance. Thank you 💜

[@mattwest5330]

Just..beautiful ☺️ thank you

[@contenital]

That was one of the most heartbreaking scenes in Final Fantasy VII that I am not ready to see in the remake. It gets me every time and I felt the pain of what Cloud went through when this happened. Anyways this is beautiful and keep up the amazing work!♥️💯

[@Ironfungus]

Yay! Thumbs up! One of the more powerful pieces from FFVII. That game always felt very unique to me in the themes used that I haven't been able to really put my finger on. Bittersweet themes like this, themes of horror (Trail of Blood), of anxiety and emotional trauma. The main theme of FF7 feels like it perfectly illustrated the journey that Cloud takes mentally from beginning to end. Amazing though how beautifully music like this can be transformed when going from PS1 quality to a piano like this, or to fully orchestrated arrangements.

[@KaraComparetto]

WOW Jake thank you so much for what you wrote! I love to hear people's experiences of playing the games, because I never had the privilege of playing most of them myself. My brother was telling me last night about how, rather than playing yourself as the main character like in FFXIV, you play another character, and get into that character's feelings and desires and emotions. It's a whole different experience! And I agree, the recording abilities these days gives us so much more, to love and appreciate about these brilliant themes!

[@Ironfungus]

+Kara Comparetto the game is a little dated now, but they're working on a remake for PS4 so let's hope for the best!

I hope to one day see "You Can Hear the Cry of the Planet" from Final Fantasy VII, played on piano by you! It's such an ominous and foreboding song of sadness, and piano might do it justice!! And your godly hands would certainly interpret it perfectly!! :D It always reminds me of Aerith's fate about to take place..! :'( Aerith's theme is one of the most beautiful songs ever to exist, for me..! Thank you for this Kara!
