You're incredible

[@CommDao]

My favorite part is when it goes "pluck, pluck, pi-luck, twang, TWONG, arpegi-arpegi-arpegi-oOoOoO"

[@Harpsibored]

Yeah I like that part too

Final Fantasy 7 had a significant, positive, and enriching impact on my development as a child. It instilled a deep sense of wonder, awe, gratitude, curiosity, and appreciation of beauty. This song and the concept of the lifestream especially. My Mom would ask why I was sitting in front of the TV and not moving the characters, and I just turned and smiled and told her I am listening to the beautiful music. She would smile, and let me be. To this day the concept of the lifestream is my preferred spiritual view of the universe and existence. It provides a comfort in that we are all One and that while the human experience is forever a lonely experience, we are all alone together. Yet, we are all special in that we're unique manifestations of this energy, or lifestream, and that there will never be another *exact* manifestation as me. I take comfort knowing that I am simultaneously alone and connected, that I am special, and that when I die, my essence returns to the infinite beauty and mystery of the universe. The curiosity imbued in me by this song and FF7 in general has led me to start my own quirky, wonderful family, explore the world through surfing exotic and incredibly magical waves, and pursue a career in science and engineering. I am still that 7 year child gawking at the lifestream scene, listening to the music. Thank you for making this emotional, delicate rendition.

Beautiful comment 👏

[@Harpsibored]

Ahhhh I'm so sorry for the late response. Thank you for the lovely comment!! ❤️ The perpetuity of the lifestream reminds me a lot of memories in FFIX too. The line "my memories will be part of the sky" really stuck with me. Thank you again for listening 🎵

[@Alex722]

The second paragraph is as real as it gets 😉 Basically, the main ancient traditions are teaching humanity this exact thing 💚🙏 The Tao = the lifestream Final Fantasy is notorious for having actual spiritual truths hidden in game’s lore and fantasy…

[@StephenDinosaur]

Me too. The music from this game has always had a place in my life. 25+ years later much of the score can still bring a tear to my eye. Times were easier back then

[@TheRealAhoy]

After listening to this for an hour I'll be floating around like Bugenhagen for the rest of the day, giving strangers spiritual advice they didn't ask for 🙌

[@Harpsibored]

Strangers generally don't like unsolicited advice but if you have a super well groomed beard and you're floating, that could help.

[@TheRealAhoy]

@@Harpsibored My incessant hO hO hO's combined with my splendid white beard made them think I was Santa Claus and they just ignored what I was saying, gave me shit for his history of leaving less desirable presents under the chimney. Currently asking Seto for advice, but he's giving me the silent treatment.

[@ThomasMHead]

Well, as I was in the camp for Bugenhagen's astronomical lore dump (heh!) to be the image, it's only fitting that I play this exquisite performance while typing story notes.

[@Harpsibored]

Perhaps one of the few moments in which the DUMP image didn't win. Oh well. Thank you!! ❤️

[@MrVariant]

Thanks for the description. Glad you could calm those kids down as an aunt and didn’t have to marathon this

[@Harpsibored]

I'm also glad I wasn't present for bedtime with the one who ate the coffee grounds 😂

[@MrVariant]

@Harpsibored uh oh lol that sounds like a job for the parents 🤣 thanks for the stories

[@ryandude3]

Love this rendition so much. The thrumming of the harp is mesmerizing. Fully approve of the image choice too. The Lifestream is about more than our main characters, after all!

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much!! Glad to hear!!! 💚 I tend to first think of the wonder of seeing the planet's energy finally visualized for you in Bugenhagen's explanation, but you're right I think.

[@ryandude3]

Yeah, I think first about the sweeping visuals of that scene, which is excellent. This probably works better to capture the essence of the Lifestream as a mostly-static image.

[@mothwhisp]

Utterly gorgeous, like magic on the air. Your music lifts my spirit. Thank you.

[@Harpsibored]

I'm happy to hear that 💕 Thank you for listening!!!

[@KnightsDisillusion]

Your songs on FF7 really help me relax or feel motivated to really try. Thank you as always.

[@Harpsibored]

Ahhh I'm glad to hear that!!! 💖

[@A_Lo_Pex]

Great choice on the image. I think the Lifestream should be the focal point for this piece. Also shoutout to the airline for letting you bring the harp on board and play it for the whole flight 😁

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much, glad to hear that! Oh neat, playing harp on a plane. What are the odds that I can get that thing through security without a TSA canine peeing on it?

[@koshbasza1981]

WIELKI SZACUNEK Pani interpretacji ❤

[@Aurachan787]

So glad you extended this one! This song is top tier for relaxing! ☺

[@Harpsibored]

Yayyyy, glad to hear ❤️

[@Kyuntanii]

I always feel happy when I can listen to your harp, it always hits you right in the heart Thank you

[@Harpsibored]

Ahh I'm glad to hear that ❤️❤️❤️

[@ashyoung6134]

You've made many FF 7,8,9 soundtracks even more special for me. Thanks. 😊

[@Harpsibored]

Ahhh I'm so glad to hear that!!! Thank you!!! More FF8 music tomorrow btw 🎵

[@anthonyspencer766]

I am really enjoying your channel. Just subbed. You are a tremendous player, and your takes on these pieces are superb. I am a guitar player, so I lack the right terminology, but the 'attack' of plucking the harp strings has this audible percussive character that gives it such presence and brightness. Thanks so much, and please keep going with these renditions. So many people cherish the music from these games, and your versions stand, in my opinion, toe-to-toe with the best.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate hearing that from another musician!!! ❤️ in terms of "attack" it might be like, the brightness of the higher strings or something that you're hearing? It's really hard to put into words

[@Rakshasaka]

Damn. Them high notes hit right in the feels.

[@Harpsibored]

I love how it calls back to the opening 💖

[@mrtuckerlucas]

This is fantastic. Thank you @harpsibored!

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you for listening ❤️

[@dannybluntdamage]

@@Harpsibored Always a pleasure.

[@rophmusic]

Relaxing harp music to drool away a flight to sounds good 😊

[@Harpsibored]

It gets me through screaming children and people rubbing their elbows against me.

[@Omegaroth666]

This is beautiful!

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you 💖

[@clos2132]

Absolutely tremendous 😍

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you 💚

[@Hypnos3GG]

Came here from your Twitter account. You are amazing. ❤

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much!! Glad you made it here!

[@bescoitto]

Thanks for this. Live with you must be like live with Orfeu. ❤

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you for listening! Hah, I better not turn around.

[@bescoitto]

@@Harpsibored if you turn around, i desappear

[@lloydnorval1989]

This is amazing. *Vegeta: Breaks Scouter* It's over 9000!!!

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you!!! ❤️ wow, I don't remember Vegeta showing up in Cosmo Canyon. Maybe that'll be in remake part 3.

[@lloydnorval1989]

@@Harpsibored haha that would be cool 😂 I'm a fan of both franchises, what can I say? 😅 Imagine Future Trunks in a sword battle with Sephiroth though... I'm an FFVII fan before I'm a DBZ fan, but I think Trunks would mop the floor with Sephiroth

[@punkybad15fellows]

クロノトリガーが『時の回廊』を聴きたいです。 時の回廊はクロノトリガーの楽曲の中でも屈指の人気を誇り、そしてそれに違わない素晴らしい楽曲です。

[@Harpsibored]

「時の回廊」をずっと前から弾きたいですけど、FFにはまっちゃって、まだできてないですね😅 いつか演奏するように努力します！🎵

[@ret4kind]

Thanks for reliving the trauma of me letting Aerith die. 😐

[@traviswall1982]

You LET Aerith die? tsk tsk tsk. I did the same with Galuf. 😬

[@Harpsibored]

I also let Tellah die In my defense I'm just a helpless spoony bard, so 🤷‍♀️

[@Omegaroth666]

Did anyone let Tidas die?

[@xblade1814]

Aerith ainsi que tout nos amis sont éternels dans nos cœurs et esprit. ☄️

[@traviswall1982]

Oooo, we are 1/8 of the way for that 8 hour video that I TOTALLY did NOT mention as a way for Final Fantasy music to sleep through. 😉😉😉

[@Harpsibored]

Hahahaha. I am working on another "Final Fantasy Relaxing Harp Music" video though, which I'm hoping will be ready sometime within the next few months as I record new music for it. Stay tuned.

[@traviswall1982]

Love it. Glad I can push you to do a project you likely started before I made my comment and am pretending like it is my idea. 😈

[@DogmaBeoulve]

Goodness this is *gorgeous*

[@Repdetec04]

It's a great picture. Can we get a link to download it? A version without the text? Great job with the song!

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much!!! 💚 ahh sorry I don't have it uploaded somewhere, but I can say it's a screenshot of Bugenhagen's planetarium in Rebirth
