Playing it on the piano completely changes the mood....makes it even sadder....full of melancholy, anger, and despair...I love it!

I completely agree!

[@the1onlynoob]

'spoiler' After the Turks takes Aerith around chapter 13, if you walk around the Sector 5 Slums, this song plays and i dunno how Square Enix managed it, I immediately associated this track with the distinctly absence of her. Its like the title, it feels hollow. No dialogue necessary, not exposition, no subtext through visual imagery, just same place you always walked around and it just feels sad.

[@AxleDG]

This is super accurate, though that was an instrumental that plays in that section if I remember correctly

[@chardonnay5767]

Somehow the feeling of the Sector 5 slums transforms completely at that point. The same track played earlier too, when first visiting the area, but on the second time around the feeling is definitely more 'hollow'.

[@J1090-k1e]

Track is called Hollow Skies. It’s really damn good!

[@Vampirepriestess]

It plays already around sector 5 before aerith was kidnapt...

[@tomu118]

the first time this song appeared when Cloud separate from Aerith at the orphanage

[@amandamol9050]

This is Cloud's feeling.. Cloud's grieving. Can't not cry over this no matter how many times I listen it. His sadness just seems real like he's real. I can't believe I get so emotionally attached to a game character after understanding his story.

[@jedipenguin2641]

@@TurtleBoxOfficial Not only did you not disprove anything I said, but you've also shown me that the existence of Remake and of people who enjoyed it is a far more emotionally charged issue for you than it is for everybody else here. Who hurt you?

[@TurtleBoxOfficial]

@@mrplaystationguyr5 Square hurt me when they promised a FF 7 remake and released a game called FFVII Remake and only gave us about 10% of Final Fantasy 7 and charged us full price after waiting nearly 20 decades.

[@lower_than_furries9727]

The song gets me Zack, Cloud, and Aerith's vibe. This piano version kinda makes me feel lonely, cold, and empty like Sephiroth. Hats off to Uematsu.

[@oskyblueo9469]

I would be lost, drifting alone Floating up high, time after time And there you'd be, shining brightly Your smiling face, to guide my way Bloody and bruised, brought 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 I thought 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 With your every smile, hiding something more Dark mysteries, lurking beneath But I was consumed, with this emptiness This selfishness, this void to fill Hear me, once more Show me your smile This time for sure I'll see the truth hidden inside your tears But I, I know That you're long gone But I, I will Go on, howling and hollow To never know.

Well it IS written by Nojima. So good. He's such a fantastic writer.

Wow, this piano instrumental sounds _completely different_ from the vocal band version. I dig it.

[@DivineDissident]

[@Ban7dicoot]

The band version is just OK

[@k.s.4209]

Sounds like there's a prelude hidden at 2:37. Maybe it's just me. In love with this song.

[@TristanVash38]

Caught it too and looked for the comment. Here you are.

[@althea7181]

What song is that?

[@hishouha]

Love this arrangement ❤️ I love this song so much, it feels like it’s exactly what Cloud feels when he thinks about Aerith and Zack His guilt over their deaths, how he “failed them” and wishes for them to come back once more and smile. That if they do he promises to never let them down again Damn the feels

If these plays at Aerith's death, I swear Im gonna fucking bawl my eyes out just like i did back in '97

does everyone know that this song is about the feelings of the cloud about aerith?

Lovely tune 💜 isn't it about Clouds feelings and Aerith? I'm sure I saw that on twitter somewhere.

[@Vertayl]

It was written with cloud on an empty Field and with raining on his mind

[@maya_jones3411]

It’s likely. Aerith’s death had the BIGGEST impact on him and you saw how heartbroken and depressed he was in Advent Children. With that in mind, It’s more likely about Clouds feelings towards Aerith’s death.

Oh gawd, I can't stop listening to this. Please do more from the remake. I love this and Aerith's theme that you did.

[@xaviersnyder2080]

Something I love about your playing, is the wide use of dynamics and how you let the silence speak even louder than the notes. A very syncopated song and the amount of breathing you allowed to happen in the tempo made it hit all the harder, and bring the emotions to bear even more than the original ever could. As I've said on a previous video of yours, a very VERY talented player and a very competent musician. You take the true meaning to syncopation and dynamic range in all the songs you play, and you truly understand what tugs at those heart strings. Keep up with the fabulous music!!!
