[Xenogears] Faraway Promise

[@alex080992]

Listening in 2022, still beautiful, as if these 20 years never happened.

[@theloyalist2006]

Music is a mysterious thing... Sometimes, it makes people remember things that they do not expect. Many thoughts, feelings, memories... things almost forgotten... Regardless of whether the listener desires to remember them or not...

+Johnny Darko By Citan :)

[@Tentacle_NIL]

Play at 0.75 speed and it's perfect

[@TheCrimsonKodiak]

Whenever I hear this song in game, I just want to cry for no reason. It just does that to me.

[@user-rw1mo6vg7z]

same thing happens to me

[@Xeno_G23]

Dreaming... I was dreaming... Perhaps it may have been but a long forgotten memory... A dream... A memory... Things remembered when one is asleep... Things forgotten when one is awake...

[@greenhunter473]

This song is beautiful when you here for the first time at the beginning of the game... but it becomes even more beautiful when you discover the meaning behind it and what it means to Fei and Emeralda

[@odonski4460]

This is the most beautiful song I have ever listened to.

[@Redslayer86]

I love Xenogears music. Best game soundtrack ever!

[@slizzardman]

I played this version of Faraway Promise at the GA Tech piano sale earlier this week on several pianos to get a feel for the different sounds they all have, because I think this song really allows an instrument to give you a feel for its capacity to carry emotion, and several people asked me what I was playing because it was beautiful and they wanted to know the name so they could find it. I love this song, and I hope people continue to love and learn this song for many years to come. Xenogears FTW :)

[@miguelangelvazquezroque3791]

it really does carry a lot of emotion! it makes me want to cry every time i hear it :´)

[@JohnnyDarko01]

awesome story I hope you spread the word of yasunori mitsuda, one of the greatest composers of all time

[@JohnnyDarko01]

also how long did it take you to learn this?

[@juggalotim50187]

Joshua Naterman please play it live and record so I can hear

[@juggalotim50187]

Johnny Darko let us not forget chrono trigger:

[@jasonhernandez9023]

I'm a forty-year-old fella. Xenogears is still my favorite experience, my favorite game, and its music still resonates with me. Hmm, I guess music really is a mysterious thing...

[@mrbarbudo1922]

Es entonces cuando te das cuenta de que una simple melodía instrumental con piano te puede evocar mil y una sensaciones, ese es el gran logro de esta excelente composición.

[@greenhunter473]

If Xenogears ever gets a remake and it has a title screen similar to the Xenoblade games then this should be the song that plays over it

[@lachesisful]

No doubt this song IS Xenogears.

[@MrWolf1115]

This particular song always make me both smile and cry idk why its just so beautiful

[@Harkz0r]

If there was ever a piece to make me bawl like a baby, it was surely this one. I'd say this is even better than the original arrangement. I want to play this someday.

[@bubblebeam8888]

playing this on piano is just... really calming.

[@sidra_games4551]

oct 2024 - still lovin this!!

[@corvettez06c5700ps]

なんつうアレンジだよ 泣けるぜ…

[@BigTimeHacker]

simply amazing.

[@AprilElyse]

Very beautiful melody.

[@guidobaez5543]

Just... wow. Excellent arrange

[@ArcadianGenesis]

Wow, this is a fantastic arrangement. Well done.

[@JohnnyDarko01]

the most beautiful song ever written? if there is something that conveys emotion better let me know.

[@xiomimesis]

Johnny Darko idk some of bucketheads electic sea or sea of tears i think really produce feeling connectivity pretty well

[@Mariner35]

I just started playing this game for the first time and when I heard this song, I simply needed to find out if it had been arranged for piano. This is a beautiful song and it's been a joy learning to play it.

[@greenhunter473]

Mariner35 it becomes even more beautiful when you find out the meaning behind it and what it means to Fei and Emeralda

[@Shizukachan07]

So beautiful... i will play this song at my next piano recital!!

[@TonyDaExpert]

My favorite melody of all time. Because this melody represents me

[@CoolFiPiano]

Thank You!

[@Nero839]

Amazing :)

[@tiamat8855]

So beautiful and heart warming :'D

[@FieryFingers93]

@Piface2099 Yeah, this has a more warm, mellow sound. A grand-style piano would do this very nicely. Of course, the strings would have a major affect in any piano. Most keyboards that I have seen can't pull off a good grand piano sound unless its specifically made to be an electric piano.

[@Gershigadzh]

Started learning this song - THX 2 MUCH for this, as far as I can't read scores, but like playing the piano))))))

[@Ferret2YourFace]

cool song. thanks for uploading

[@ネコ動画]

なんか放課後の夕方に学校の音楽室でこれ弾いてほしい。なんか。

[@sukwendo]

This is absolutely beautiful, but I think my favourite part of the song is from 1:29 to 2:05.

[@SSangsen]

Definitely gonna play that song. It's my distant promise ;p

[@Piface2099]

@andreavilapetrucci i think its just a good piano, like a stage piano not an upright or keyboard

[@PAULLODS]

muito perfeito!!

[@38kob]

1:30 is this part even in the game? or any officially released version? it’s nice but i don’t remember that at all

[@El-Duderino-His-Dudeness]

Jesus Christ, I'm a piano beginner at this point, really freaking good at playing some of the things I've hammered out on my own just messing around. I discovered kind of the 20 second mark on my own and could play a little bit of it, but nevermind, way more complicated than I thought. Just kind of stuck with two keys at a time on the left hand, so many songs I like demand 3 key strokes, and I just can't wrap my brain around some of it naturally. I keep hoping if I just keep trying it will come more naturally.

[@lllSonny]

Same here! :)

[@Bedlam]

i wish there were more xenogears songs uploaded from synthesia. @_@

[@JapraX]

Can anyone doing this for Mussical Harp in Guild Wars 2?

[@TheColdBore]

Hello new APB clip.

[@batatshi]

Any chance for a slower version..? It's totally amazing, I agree with everyone.

[@gatst7680]

I love this song, but I felt it was played a bit too fast here.

[@sporkwitch]

Ok, seriously, who the hell actually put a dislike on this? O.o

[@erian100]

hi! Beautifull song!! mm... you have guitar tabs for this version? plz if you have it, can you send mi or put a link for the tabs, would be awesome! Sorry for the spanglish! :P

[@Rellucmot]

How do i do this on guitar?!?!?!?!?!

[@SpencerFcp]

My hands are fairly large.....isn't that first chord borderline impossible but any normal human being? 8 Keys between the pinky and thumb.....Most I can do is 7 and even that isn't comfortable.

[@ranmacwy]

can u pls upload other Xenogears sound track? like flight/tears of the stars hearts of the people/my village/stars of tears/gathering stars in the night sky/bonds of sea and fire...~~~~(all the sound track?) pls? ^^

[@Koriolis2]

'sniff' , "tear" :''' )

[@helloakayan]

could you upload the original version plz? this one seems rushed.

[@BiroZombie]

This is great, but it is far too fast to me, compared to the original.

[@Radical_Dreamers]

Yes, i just need to play it slower and i got an awesome rendition of the music

[@toptimus]

Is there an updated link to the pdf? The one in the description doesn't seem to work :(

[@RocketPropelledGuy]

It worked fine for me? Maybe it's a region thing? Anyway, though KZbin will probably autodelete the comment because it contains a URL here is an alternate: files.catbox.moe/wfsxi8.pdf

[@JohnnyDarko01]

Im a beginner to the keys but have played guitar for a very long time. Is the left hand (blue) even possible to play at some points? seems like quite a stretch. or a lot of hand movement.

[@squeakysneakers6685]

No, this is actually a pretty straightforward piece with the left or bass hand. In piano it's different and easier actually to cover more distance playing arpeggios, because you can walk or cross finger over finger playing up and down so that you dont dead-end yourself. You can play continuously this way. It takes getting used to. Default by playing as many notes as you can with your five finger 1st, then on the 6th or more notes, you can either jump your fingers(pinky past thumb for left hand going up or vice versa) but for crossovers you dont really ever want to cross your thumbs and pinkies. Hope that helps and wasnt too confusing. Just watch people play and see what they do.

[@JohnnyDarko01]

I think I get what you mean I'll have to check out some examples or people teaching this technique out online. you say its mainly used for arpeggios? or like walking down scales? Luckily this terminology is already familiar from years of guitar. Music is mostly all the same, each instrument just seems to have its own mechanics and this is one I'll have to learn if I want to get good on piano.

[@slayerofgoats]

Sheet music please!

[@Dante_Aieta]

I've learned it without sheet music Hahahaha

[@TheFailnaut]

I think I should start playing xenogears. What system is it for?

[@Radical_Dreamers]

Not quite my tempo...

[@user-lv9pq5uh7i]

When, what, withwhom and where did you promise..? Maybe we won't know.When you answer you know it, I suppose your mind must be controled by this game, at least what l want to say is that people have faces are same, are anywhere. You loved more when it has passed eight thousand years since it was ten thousand years ago than when it has passed one thousand years, do you say? Run to the end of the world.withwhom? Be hesitate. Ahahahaha....
