7 years and still here

[@toongamer2810]

This song just started playing in my KZbin music study session, I didn't even put it there. Thank you KZbin for showing me this beautiful song

[@IAMAKNUCKLESFAN]

Man... I listened to this with my buddy and inside I cried. I told him how much I really am alive when he's by my side. Taking on the world, experiencing life together... I honestly feel like my life is complete when he's around, and I could never live my life the same without him. I've always said to him that we are two halves of the same whole; we just don't function without each other. He means a lot to me and I mean a lot to him. We're always there for each other no matter what. I can't imagine what would happen to me if he had passed on so soon... There was something about this that made us feel so connected. For that we are nearly inseparable. I hope we stay as close as we are forever...

[@Cameron42080]

IAMAKNUCKLESFAN are you both still close?

[@IAMAKNUCKLESFAN]

@@Cameron42080 Very. Him and I still chat like it was just yesterday we got to know each other.

[@jysaw1]

i cant go a single day without watching this video. this cover has touched my soul. youve truly done this track justice, and the way you spliced the scenes together to go along with this is mesmerizing. ive loved this video for a long time and i decided it was time to sing its praises. thank you for this gem.

[@videogameguitar-matt]

Thank you that's very kind, I'm glad you like it

[@HeffVIII]

After 10 years...this. Is still one of the most beautiful things ever made by Man. A great piece of art. After all this time, I still get the same emotions!

[@SymbioteVenom-f9i]

This hits me harder no cry but feel relax when i hear the 🎸 man knows how to jam it very well

[@zhyire8619]

I’m only 16 and I feel like I grew up in the wrong time period. When I should’ve been playing my 360 I was playing my ps2. Playing this game and so many others that have influenced the way I think today. This song has helped me through so much. And now I need it to again. I’ve fallen in love with a senior and I feel so conflicted because she’s about to graduate. Leaving me behind. I just hope I can spend as much time with her as possible this summer before then.

[@93JB93]

Go for it man. I'm 25 years old. Love of my life was 18 I was 14. She was my sister's friend first. But I got in and stuck around alot. We became so close and intimate. Talking late night. Hanging out after church, work social functions. When I turned 16 *legal age of consent in the state of FL* she had to move away to Pennsylvania. We still talked. She came back in town for my sisters wedding. I was alot older and taller. We went to the beach and walked for what seemed like hours. I wanted to kiss her...and she gave me the opening. But....I hesitated...I regret it till this day. She has a daughter now with some dude in prison. When I left Florida to live in North Carolina. A year later she moved back to FL. We've never seen each other since... Dont hesitate. Explore those feelings. Pursue this Senior you've come to grow feelings for...dont hesitate.

[@foxtrotpoems3775]

Yerrrrooooo

[@Smoothbrain69]

I'm sitting here at the edge of my life, contemplating everything that's wrong with me (nothing) and somehow this sad ass video gave me the moxie to go on. Trouble with my dad, inability to connect with the woman I love, I can just high five them in the after life when I get there. Probably not, but everyone I've ever loved, but couldn't quite say it right to understands me and who I am. Jecht and Yuna can wait until I'm ready (never). I go on this morning, because it's too much trouble to leave. And because there is obviously another guitarist that understands. I'll waste what's left of my life in memoriam of this music and how it touched me today.

[@videogameguitar-matt]

Ryan Vigil I'm glad you like it dude. I hope you feel better and things improve. Always keep your head up. Things will always get better. Sometimes you have to ride the storm. In the end, even sin didn't last. :D There is always a brighter future, even if it seems far away in the distance, you're always moving toward it. Look after yourself friend.

[@GanNing221]

+VideogameGuitarist I just came across to this video after I stumble upon to the acapella version sang my smooth mcgroove on Spotify. And, seeing your comment addressed to a fellow human being is simply fitting and awe to what life takes us in this journey that we're on. Just passing through.

[@videogameguitar-matt]

Thank you for listening and commenting. Smooth mcgroove is awesome and so is his cat!

[@bashvash]

11 years of my life ive gone without this.... no longer will i suffer

[@EntropyRisen]

I wish sin would come and sweep me away to spira . This game holds a intense grip over my heart the feels i have for the story the characters and there development the beautiful landscapes of spira and the music everything about this game calls out to me . I will never forget the journey this took me on and will always come back . Praise be to yevon this is my story

[@crazymumbo]

I always make sure to come back every once in a while.

[@TheTrueUltimateDX]

I don’t think there has ever been a musical composition better than this, its just so raw, its like pure sadness mixed with tranquility and ironically, standing still. God i love this song.

[@TirkableLight]

I'm 22 I've been listening to wandering flame since I was like 10 maybe younger. This and "in the gloomy darkness' from final fantasy Chrystal Chronicles. And I'm sad to say im just now hearing this version😔

[@SquallLeonhart7878]

I heard this version for the first time 3 years ago... Today, I hear for the umpteenth time and after 3 years, it becomes more and more beautiful. You gave us a pearl of infinite beauty. Thank you so much.

[@videogameguitar-matt]

Thank you. I enjoyed making it and it's wonderful to see so many ff fans enjoy something i created. I've been too busy to do more but i hope to do something else soon.

[@bigjj7017]

VideogameGuitarist this rendition is amazing

[@tadakatsuhonda3928]

and now? more 3 years later

[@SquallLeonhart7878]

Always better :)

[@brianhener9647]

10 years now. And i still hear this cover frequently. It helped me throughout many hard times. Thank you

[@edjema]

I am a music lover, and I gotta say in all my years of life this is the best thing I ever heard, it's hard to put into words as many has said, it's on repeat right now, Damn fine piece of work.

[@igh9579]

Konstantina, I love you lots and lots. I know we will make it. The world is ours for taking, this is our story!

[@kguard5]

I would rather this version be used for the remaster...it's that good.

[@videogameguitar-matt]

Well that's an awesome compliment. Thanks dude!

[@DerekMoore82]

I'm a 40 year old grown man, but this version made me cry. And I don't cry at much. That high five with his dad at the end, it reminded me of King Theoden's dying words from LOTR, "I go now to my father, in whose mighty company I shall not now feel ashamed."

[@SethSpinz]

Been coming here for like 10 years. Never gets old. It's like a sacred temple for reflections and meditations.

[@lofivibes3640]

2020 has been a horrible experience. With a governor in California hell bent on destroying the economy. It's been a hot mess. Just when I think things are starting to get better. My dog passes away, breaking my spirit. He had a heart attack. The vet was unable to restart his heart. Lots of sleepless nights. High anxiety, and depression. If it wasn't for the gym, lofi, and my best friend being there. I don't think I could of made it. I went to the beach, cried my eyes out in public. I didn't give a damn. I listened to wondering flame for over a hour. Thinking about the times I had with my little pup. Been awhile since I had eyes that red. I miss you Harley. Please look after Max, Jack, and Ryder for me. I miss you guys so much. 😔

[@rollthebones91]

Hope you’re coping better now mate 👍

[@saintultra2737]

I've got this video and track itself backed up on a hdd, my ssd, and google drive. Not ever gonna let this one go. You did some exceptional, heartfelt work here. I come back to this year after year.

[@Rickai85]

Damn...this is one of the most incredible rearrangements of a FF track I've ever heard....truly extraordinary work. This really touched me

[@sybran57]

This music is the most beautiful song I've ever heard !

[@Vuroja5]

And now I'm crying...

[@datly13]

So soothing, I'd honestly consider this an official soundtrack if I had never heard of the original.

[@Glori4n]

All my dreams as a kid are forever tied to this game. It's that special.

[@influencemap7031]

This is givin me a crime drama vibe

[@NatoShinobi]

thesunglasseskid 😂

[@srirulean]

I'm literally sobbing as I type this. I've listened to this maybe 1000 times now. For the full experience, the video and the song are tied together so perfectly. I'm wondering if this was composed as they watched this video. It fits so perfect with every flourish and every little riff, it's very moving.

[@LoneTaurus82]

Just chilled out at a local lake for evening listening to this. Such a peaceful and soul soothing rendition of this song on guitar. Really added to the calmness I felt looking out at the partly clouded sky as the sun added shades of color to the sky as it set, along with a nice breeze. I reflected on alot while listening to this as well.

[@azothdarktube]

And I keep coming back, year after year, day after day. I think this might be the most soulful song I've heard

[@thedenimeffect]

you really knocked this one out of the park p.s. the riff that starts at 2:56 still gives me chills after a good 6-7 years of listening to this.

[@kenshinhimura6280]

I keep listening to this every day of my life. Masterpiece

[@IAMAKNUCKLESFAN]

I come back to this every now and again... It reminds me to keep loving and understanding... And to have the strength to move forward with no backward glances that leave us feeling alone with the stasis. This cover is a tribute to your friend... Right? It captures so much emotion.

[@F_Faust]

I wish I could feel her warmth again, just once

[@SiveenO]

This Song... It really touched me.

[@Faz0.]

this music is.... woohh no words. just shut up and Feel..

[@TwilightCage]

Those were some slick scene transitions mate, this amv really moved me.

[@GushuGoblin]

This was fucking mind blowing man, way to go, you improved something I already thought was perfect. You're incredible. May your friends journey through infinity be filled with joy and laughter.

[@BlakeGeometrio]

Beautiful. I can picture my dream girl and I laying on the ground, staring at the moon and the stars.

[@cinematicgamer9475]

Amazingly powerful and therapeutic. I can listen to this all day looking back into the past and reminiscing where I went wrong and how I could have approached each scenario. Positive vibes

[@fireworksfan93]

Amazing rendition, whenever I think of this song, this is the version that plays in my head now.

[@SunderlAndy]

Ugh. The high-five gets me every time 🥲 Best ending to any video game ever.

[@Elijah2st]

Man you almost made me cry! It's a perfect tribute for your friend, I'm sure he can rest in peace now :)

[@brandenclark8797]

1:58 is pure magic the way the spirits float around Tidus it’s Art

[@zalikster]

Just thought I'd drop by again. Pity I can't stay too long... I love this so much....

[@RobertAustinMusic]

Fuck, listening to this is like I've been plucked from heaven and taken away on a cloud to watch an eternal sunset as I just drift away aimlessly.

[@dontcare3]

cant imagine this song ever being done better than this version here. masterpiece.

[@Tuopz]

3 minutes and 29 seconds of pure Mesmerizing audio and video

[@edjema]

I'm back here again with another lose, my nephew was murdered on the 17th of December 2020 this song helps so much.

[@SimonsBand1]

That's horrible, im so sorry to hear that

[@retrothetrooper]

Sorry for your loss, hopefully you feel better and may god be with you.

[@Arturoxtei]

There are no words to describe how I feel when I hear this song. Your guitar work is magnificent and kinda reminds me of the later albums done by Pink Floyd. Thank you for sharing this treasure and letting us enjoy such a piece of art!

[@videogameguitar-matt]

Arturo Guardado Thanks dude. I'm no DG but i do love some Floyd.

[@theophanesantoniou8539]

the first time i cried for a video game story

[@ovo4842]

awesome... it sounds like a melody I've already heard a thousand years ago...

[@sieteperassart1617]

I am crying with this song.

[@srirulean]

This moved me to tears. I keep coming back to this song.

[@Soccool]

I have listen to this 5 times in a row

[@tenzen-cv4zo]

Dude...lifelong fan of this game, as in "had the Prima's Official Guide, got the Celestial Weapons" and everything. This track has stuck with me for years, years and years. Its so heartwrenching, for being so simple. FFX is a tragedy and this song is a threnody - Like the repeated notes, Tidus is stuck in this loop, beyond the Farplane, beyond the Dream of the Fayth and fading. Like Baaj temple and the ruins of Zanarkand, he is doomed to be lost to time as well. If you think about when this song takes place (the second time): Tidus is there beyond the gate in Guadosalam; even viewing Chappu's image in the pyreflies - as a myth. A living ghost made up of parts. He himself isn't even there in the sense that Chappu is. Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Great Freezer: the place where time stands still. And for some reason he was chosen for this path only to fall in love, to travel the world with his love, to drive back the spawn of Sin and things maybe even older Beyond the Darkness (Omega, Ultima), to become a hero capable of rebuilding a world righted after thiusands of years -- only to have these things fade away from him in the end. Even after finally figuring out the riddle, finally breaking the cycle, finally killing god himself (Yu Yevon) to prove his loyalty to his friends and his love. To have her slip through his arms and land sprawling on the deck of the airship he helped see renewed and used to rescue her from an evil lord like a prince rescuing a princess. To be unable to comfort her even as she uttered the words, and he said them back with all his sincerity and meaning - but his only true embrace with her being in Macalania, before all this madness. He could not even touch her shoulders, though he tried. Your track has encompassed that Wandering Flame of tragedy. I think most of all I feel the loss in this rendition, it's raw. I'll admit, i never played FFX-2. I liked the bittersweet tragedy that was Yuna's uniting of Spira, strong even in her grief. The mystery of why Tidus woke up and where. Like the Wandering Flame left bountiful soil in its wake. Thank you for this track, man. It brought back a lot.

[@tadakatsuhonda3928]

Thank you bud everytime what i have some trouble or my anxiety and depression, i came here to listen your cover. Very thank you for help me, god bless you. I download your video in case your video be excluded, or something

Amazing tribute. R.I.P.

[@chirstopherroble]

That moment when you just wanna dolphin dive into the ocean towards the sunset

[@zalikster]

This is the best piece of music that there is. There isn't a single part of it, nor has there been any time listening to it, that has felt emotionally uncharged. I scour the youtubes for music that is evocative and sincerely beautiful. This is the best piece of music.

[@VIISoldiers]

I can't stop listening to this version of this song.....I swear it's the best cover of this song hands down. I feel like it could've been in the actual FFX game.

[@GuiltyGearRockYou]

so undescribeble beautiful...

[@Kheops.]

Thought I commented this ages ago but I apparently didn't. Thank you very much for this, the original track is already so beautiful and you still managed to add something even more beautiful on top of it. Lost a very good friend a few months ago in awful circumstances and this helped.

[@illtakethebox]

This is an internet check point: you may save here, or just rest a while.

[@cy2027]

Beautiful

[@Red88Rex]

This is sooo beautiful, wonderful work! One of my favorite songs from FFX, I always imagined looking into a bonfire while listening to it and thinking about lost times and people.

[@iezarigarrard3673]

You really captured the dream, my guy

[@mortamarkahn]

Absolute goosebumps. Very well done.

[@thelittlegumnut]

excellent!!!!!!

[@fallingships]

This chills me to the bone. Thank you for making this.

[@finalmew]

perfecting what was already perfected from its conception is more than what can be put into words. So profusely beautiful and breath taking. May your friend wander through their eternal journey with a flame that is all vibrant and everlasting

[@rollthebones91]

I always come back and listen to this version every few months. Not many covers of a song are even better than the original but this truly is. Thanks for doing this.

[@LPeck1985]

Wow this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this, 14 years later.

A month ago I lost a good friend, I remembered the comment I wrote in this song wishing never to feel what it is to lose a friend who is like a brother to me. Rest in peace brother.

[@stryker5055]

[@nekyokusai6400]

You've done an amazing work... I'm lost in a real and mystic timeline with what you've done... thank you so much for this sensation... ❤

this is one of the most perfect covers i've ever heard, not just of a video game song, but in general. you kept the heart of the song but made it completely yours. beautiful, beauuuuutiful work man.

Completely blown away!

Very Gilmour & Floyd-esque. I love it.

read the description.. that's sad. Its never easy losing someone you care for. Finding ways to remember people after they've passed is the best way to honor them. This track is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.. Can I use this track in a film I'm producing soon? It would really fit the mood to a specific scene. Thanks for your time and Rock on.
