I remember when this song plays for the first time (correct me if I’m wrong) while your exploring the rollercoaster-like train tracks. The song is so full of warmth, and really complimented the sense of companionship you had with the characters at this stage. You more than do the song justice. Thanks for sharing.
Did you guys ever notice that ladder in this section with the Chocobo Chicks? So cute. I’ve played this game many times since 1997 and I only noticed that detail this last time I played it through
Yes, this beautiful piece is first introduced once you finally leave Midgar, make teams and receive the PRS from Barrett, then head for the town of Kalm.
That section of the game is what you played on the PC-only Demo of FF7. I remember it took me a really long time to save up enough allowance to actually buy the game and I played the demo dozens and dozens of times.
This song was one of my brothers favorite ff7 songs. He passed away 2 years ago, its beautiful I wished he could of heard this version since he was also a piano player.
Very nostalgic. This is the most memorable piece from FF7. Your renditions and arrangements always sound incredibly beautiful and fluent, as if the pieces were meant for the classical guitar, yet never lose the spirit of the originals, but rather enhance it. Thank you, John 😊
It is a very beautiful tune and we'll arranged and played ❤. One song that stuck with me is Aerith's Theme. There is a very beautiful ukulele version by Corey Fujimoto on TH-cam.
@@Aya_Albion I can completely say, it's worth it! By now I can play Corey's arrangement. And I'm beginning to feel confident about what I do on my ukes. I've started in late 2018 and have been playing ever since. A lot of inspiration on TH-cam. A local regulars group does help, too, in the beginning. And - for me - it was much easier to start with than guitar.
Just another myriad of OST songs of which you have the best classical guitar rendition of on youtube. Thanks again Mr. Oeth and I hope all is well with you bro!
I imagine one day square enix sees your content and offers you a job. Any remaster will bring nostalgia. Imagine if this peice of art was in the remake. How pleasent would that be!!!
God hearing those first chords just instantly brings back memories if this game. This game meant so much to my childhood and your cover did it great justice to the original track! Thank you John! Wish I could thumbs up 100 times!
I dunno if anyone remenbera but ffvii pc had a demo. It opened with this song. It was my first time playing ffvii. I must have played that demo a thousand times before I got the full pc release. Great cover! Absolutely love your work
This splendid piece is, like so many others you have done, digging deep into my nostalgia. I remember summers as a kid playing through long car rides to visit long gone relatives with FF7, FF8, Tactics... Really brings back memories when I hear these acoustic covers. Another gorgeous performance! Thank you ❤
Fantastic work, as always! Your renditions always take me way, way back to my bed as a teen where I spent hours upon hours of adventure, romance, drama and action with Final Fantasy! :)
Always an upvote for the greatest game of all time. Have you done the ancients type riff yet? I play but not classical, it’s def a side hobby but I need my pedal board and distortion haha
Such a fantastic song and performance, help me out please - was this video renamed to "Dear to the Heart" recently? I had it as "Holding my Thoughts in My Heart" and couldn't find it again when I searched for that. Trying to figure out if I've shifted into a parallel reality...thanks!
Haha definitely a parallel dimension. No, I changed it because I think it fits better and it matches the official OST on Spotify. I update necessary titles before submitting them to streaming services which is a bit more permanent.
omg thank you for this beautiful cover. Every time you upload I feel so at peace. I NEED A REQUEST PLEASE. Please PLEASE PLEASE do a cover (once the official soundtrack is released) of the piano song from Final fantasy 16 from the below clip (between Clive and Jill). I can't find the official track anywhere so I don't know the name of the official song but I left a link below of the scene and song. BLESS YOU and thank you so much for the soul healing covers as always! th-cam.com/video/Kap4jDwseKw/w-d-xo.html

I actually think it plays for the first time right as you’re about to leave Midgar….but yes, beautiful song!

The Music is living Midgar...sector 7

The amount of nostalgia is insane.
Absolutely beautiful
This song was one of my brothers favorite ff7 songs. He passed away 2 years ago, its beautiful I wished he could of heard this version since he was also a piano player.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I find music to be healthy way to remember and process a loss. Much love!

Thank you! I'm a sucker for a beautiful melody with some arpeggios. I think the guitar does that really well.
It is a very beautiful tune and we'll arranged and played ❤.
One song that stuck with me is Aerith's Theme. There is a very beautiful ukulele version by Corey Fujimoto on TH-cam.
@@jan3954 Wow, I actually watched that rendition by Corey Fujimoto a few days ago!! I've been wanting to start playing the ukulele to play VGM.
@@Aya_Albion I can completely say, it's worth it! By now I can play Corey's arrangement. And I'm beginning to feel confident about what I do on my ukes.

The background looks sooo good, lol, and so as the guy sitting in front of the background.
この曲の始まりを聴くと、胸がキュウってなるんです。。。
今でも大好きな曲
Amazing cover of one of my favorite FFVII tracks! Love it!
This is one of my all-time favorite songs from a video game. And you rocked it so nicely! Thank you
Just another myriad of OST songs of which you have the best classical guitar rendition of on youtube. Thanks again Mr. Oeth and I hope all is well with you bro!
What a stunning piece. Brings me right back. Those bass notes ring out wonderfully with those arpeggios. Beautiful sound.
I imagine one day square enix sees your content and offers you a job. Any remaster will bring nostalgia. Imagine if this peice of art was in the remake. How pleasent would that be!!!
Believe me when I say this - I BAWLED MY EYES OUT WHILE LISTENING TO IT. It's so beautiful.
A good cry is perfect sometimes. Thanks so much for listening!
Excellent work once again, John! I feel like I need to go give my PS1 a big hug now.
Absolutely amazing thank you for another ff7 music ❤
My absolute favourite FF7 track! Thank you for such a great rendition!
Incredible song. Incredible rendition. Incredible nostalgia. Can't wait for this one on Spotify.
Thanks!! I may release this as a single at some point.
@@JohnOethGuitar Yes! Please do! 🙏
@@Paulo_Maximus I agree.
Omg!!!!! Just as the remake announces here is another ost from FF7 OG 😍
God hearing those first chords just instantly brings back memories if this game. This game meant so much to my childhood and your cover did it great justice to the original track! Thank you John! Wish I could thumbs up 100 times!
I'm so glad to hear that. It's funny how music can instantly trigger memories. Cheers!
Genuinely made me cry

Cela me donne tellement de ftissons, que de nostalgie ...... Merci! 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Hearing the first measures instantly transports me back to playing FF7 as a kid.
郷愁に駆られる…
This made me want to cry
I love this game, Inlove this song, and Inlove this channel 😭

A rich and layered performance! Beautiful!
This song makes me cry, almost without fail. Still, it is a beautiful performance.

Beautifully played as always. 🤩
Thanks so much!!
Amazing. I love these. You motivate me to keep learning guitar.
Your playing is just amazing. So clean, flowing, ethereal, and this song made me teary-eyed again! 😅 Wonderful, beautiful playing.
This was beautiful man.
Very beautiful!!
Appreciate it!
👏
Thank you very much for perfect memories ❤
🙌🏾🌌🔥 AMAZING
Received 10 "phoenix Down" !
gorgeous!
Thank you!
in FF7R, this song is remixed as "a tower a promise". It's so beautiful!
Epic 🥲
Ooh yeah! 🍿🍿🍿
Beautiful ❤️
Always an upvote for the greatest game of all time. Have you done the ancients type riff yet? I play but not classical, it’s def a side hobby but I need my pedal board and distortion haha
Ah….i love this.
Damn, now I need to start a new game of FFVII.
so good. I also want to play Monkey Island Theme BGM. If you can, try Apoyando style..
Awesome, is this in Colorado btw? Looks like Boulder.
I wish. Arizona. haha
@@JohnOethGuitar Close lol. Cheers, mate.
Such a fantastic song and performance, help me out please - was this video renamed to "Dear to the Heart" recently? I had it as "Holding my Thoughts in My Heart" and couldn't find it again when I searched for that. Trying to figure out if I've shifted into a parallel reality...thanks!
Haha definitely a parallel dimension. No, I changed it because I think it fits better and it matches the official OST on Spotify. I update necessary titles before submitting them to streaming services which is a bit more permanent.
Hahah okay thanks man! I can sleep a bit easier now. @@JohnOethGuitar
Woa....you fucking NAILED the vibe which is not an easy thing to do for this piece. Fucking Bravo 👏
Appreciate it!!
I want to learn how to do this. Any pointers on where to start? I already play electric guitar but I'd like to expand my skills.
If you already have some guitar skills, I would check out Mauro Giuliani's 120 right hand exercises. Pretty boring but you'll see fast progress.
E cord => D cord ?
Thanks for the nostalgie
This in Drop D and everything tuned down a half step. I like to arrange in the original key, which can lead to strange solutions. Cheers!
This tune has such a gorgeous melody! Sounds great when you play it on solo guitar
Is it weird that this made me choke up a bit.
Did you take those phoenix downs or did you leave the poor chicks alone?! That’s the real question.
