Hello everyone! I am super excited to share with you my latest Aerith's Theme arrangement from the legendary Final Fantasy VII, which was just remade recently. Considering my love for this soundtrack, and Nobuo Uematsu's music in general, it only seemed necessary to start revisiting some of these old classics, this time on the grand piano. I hope you enjoy my performance, and don't forget to like and subscribe 😁
Your Pianist,

Which track from FFVII should I cover next?
Your Pianist,
Kyle Landry
This is an absolutely amazing arrangement, Kyle. I've been following you for years and you never cease to bring something new to the table, even with an old classic like this. Just wonderful.
Personally, I'd love to see a new take on either Tifa's Theme or On Our Way. I love both of them so dearly. But I'm sure whatever you pick, it'll be phenomenal as always. ^_^
Your old fav JENOVA heheh
Please do Tifa's theme next! I would love to hear an updated take from you. It's my favorite track in the game
love it! amazing as always!
Some of the rarer ones please!! Rufus' Welcoming Ceremony, Gold Saucer, Cosmo Canyon, Don of the Slums
Not gonna lie, was half expecting him to cosplay as Aerith.
Well flowery shorts will have to do. lol
@@BigHeadClan If only he played the music at Honey Bee Inn hahahahhaa
was half tempted to downvote because Kyle's not in a dress, but I feel this way every video, so maybe the problem is me ?
Hopefully for the Tifa video
I think that depends on how much you are willing to pay for a massage
Im korea army every rest time watch this channel so today tiredness relieved thanks
Get down and give me 20 soldier !
I'm glad you feel relieved!
@Chrono yeah he sounds really ignorant
Hopefully not north Korea 😬
Anirudh Kanaparthy Im south korean
Hey, Kyle. It's been a long time. It's good to see you again, old friend.
I first subscribed to your channel back in 2010, I think. Maybe it was 2009. 🤔🤷🏻♂️I saw you play this song, and that lead me to watch so many more of your renditions.
(Terra's Theme and your Twilight Princess work are personal favorites). I even made a playlist out of them, and listened to it throughout the many facets of my life.
Listening to your versions filled me with nostalgia and wonder.
Having been a Final Fantasy fan since 1997, it's nice to see the conversation on my favorite game is starting back up again. It's equally nice to see you play this again with about a decade of growth between the videos.
This was lovely, splendid, superb. Thanks for giving me, giving all of us, these beautiful, wonderful expressions... nay, these Kyle Landry visitations of these moments from our personal gaming histories.
Never stop playing.
There is just something about Kyle and final fantasy covers that is so magical :). Perfection as always kyle
Amen. Now and always.
Amazing rendition which triggered some thoughts I feel like I should voice out. As a pianist myself, I've always believed that great music in video games and movies always elevate the narrative which is why we love composers like Uematsu and Hisashi even though we're classically trained.
Your rendition feels like a telling of Aerith's life story, from how a simple flower girl grew into a heroine that sacrificed herself to save the world. It is a version that encompasses her entire story. But that's not the only thought your version has evoked, it also reminded me of how Nobuo Uematsu's version is so simple yet absolutely perfect for the scene where we first saw Aerith, yet again another perfect fit for the narrative.
I played the piano over 10 years, I also saw tons of piano cover video on TH-cam, You are absolutely one of the best. I can feel your emotion in your music, and you are not just following the beats, or lyrics, or anything else, you just follow an invisible nature, an impulse, that makes me feel your music is so real, and touching. No matter you are playing the Digital piano or the grand piano, the music and the feeling never changed. I am so happy that I can meet such a wonderful and calm pianist on TH-cam.
Best wishes to you!
Summed it up nicely. Kyle is one of the TH-cam greats. I've listened to a few and there is pure magic. I love it.
@@t3hsis324 i would likek to put my mark on this post too. as a piano hobbyist who loves listening to piano. k yle landry is the only that i'm subscribed to; because no one can surpass his passion and love for piano music.
Kyle is still and will always be the best pianist for these types of covers: powerful, emotional and nostalgic.
Seth Davis - Pianist and Composer well that’s quite a compliment... have you ever walked around the practice rooms at Julliard...? #notrhetorical
#truestory one time I played piano and a guy proposed three times over a span of days. Turned him down every time. He wasn’t up to par... and he smoked cough cough ew .. and another time I dressed all in white and gave a speech and another guy couldn’t work up the courage to have a conversation with me... idk whatever happened to him. And another time I liked a guy who never made a move... so I got kinda tired of waiting... and another time I found someone with decent theology, but he was too little, too immature. What have I been looking for my whole life? Perfection. And I found it, hidden and protected and humble, Jesus. ☦️
Seth Davis - Pianist and Composer Also for the record, how much European music have you listened to lately...? Or are you going popular like everyone else?
Kyle might be the best white male pianist ever, or he might not... I think that honor would have to go to the grandfather of Baroque music, Johann Sebastian Bach Himself, who categorized music into a Western keyboard and had four successful sons become composers... and he was a devout Christian, from the Lutheran denomination. SDG. Please give proper credit where credit is due, or step up your game in terms of research. Thank you.
Tamalyn Cervin - I'm not sure what would fall under European, but I've always enjoyed Beethoven, Brian Crain, Yiruma, Nobuo Uematsu, Joe Hisaishi, Paul Cardall, and of course Kyle Landry. What's great about music is that no one is better than the other. Music is subjective and is good for different reasons depending on the listener's personal tastes.
And no, I've never been to Julliard although it sounds like an interesting place. If not for anything but find a spouse, haha. 😁
The sheer size of the tonal-emotional soundscape in this is absolutely immense. It's so beautiful; like a grand exploration
George Williams that was such a beautiful summary of the whole thing
Mike_FRAPPUh The reason for your comments, dear sirs, is that he is playing the real instrument, not an electronic knockoff. Imagine what he could do with an organ...
@@tamalyncervin2117 I know this was meant as a compliment. But it's not just that. It's how he played it: exquisite rubato and phrasing all around, tasteful dynamics, great articulation. Even the arrangement is wonderful; masterfully utilizing the range of the instrument at the right times, and building a story with the ebb and flow of its structure. Just brilliant artistry.
@@tamalyncervin2117 you must see grissini project dancing mad. I beg of you. You will be 🤯👌🏻💜
I loved when the piano came in at 0:00
Of course Kyle would done a better piano cover than the official piano collections release. I don't know why these companies don't go to pianists like you for their covers, you have such a strong passion for recreating memories and making new ones. Aerith's theme is what inspired me to learn piano in the first place 8 years ago, and while I'm finally able to play The Entertainer with only minor mistakes now I won't stop until I can play the official collections version.
As a follower of over 10 years I can't get enough.
The most beautiful arrangement ever, bar none.
"Huh I'm not sensing the grand............. oh god"
Once you go grand, you never go back...😉🥺
What I love about piano music is it’s so calming. It’s not like other instruments.
Kyle knows how do i get in chills
I am so happy to see Aerith's Theme gets covered 😭the flower girl we will never forget.
"Here, this flower is for you..."- Aerith
Kyle plays new FFVII arrangement...levels up
Kyle wears Flower Pants...WINS THE GAME
I. CAN’T. STOP. LISTENING. TO. THIS. Seriously, this is amazing work. At points bittersweet and soft, at others transcendent and soaring. Please put on Spotify if you can!!
loving your version of this beautiful Theme. The emotional level of this piece is amazing. FF7 and Aerith will always have a special place in my heart
Aerith's Theme will never not make me cry. This was a beautiful arrangement. Thank you so much for sharing your talent all these years! I think the first video I ever watched from you was your first Eternal Harvest from FF9. Been a fan ever since!
I am in shock. I’ve always said Aerith’s Theme is my favorite song of all time. I’ve heard every arrangement under the sun. This is perfect. I can’t hear a single flaw. I really wish this were available on streaming.
absolutely beautiful, i’m amazed. one of the most iconic musical pieces from the FF series, arguably from any video game.
Just finishes ff7remake, gets notification.
*Eyes widen*
seeing this new arrangement upload was definitely a nice surprise. there’s always so much emotion that you put into your playing, and it really makes the nostalgia hit different, you know? i’ve been trying to pick a favorite segment of the video, but i’m p sure it’s impossible-i’ve probably listened to this about 5 times now and am nowhere close to making up my mind, lol. thank you for sharing your music with us, and am definitely hoping for newer arrangements on more ffvii songs in particular! (tifa’s theme, anyone? loll)
I feel sad and happy, and happy because I'm sad, but also sad because I'm happy. Thank you
Beautiful
Love that he still made the ending of aerith’s theme magical
I really love your arrangement of Aerith's Theme! There's something about it that gives this strength and grace that I think captures her character in the game.
How is it that this version only have 110k views? This is above perfect!
Amazing arrangement, 4:30 and beyond by far my fav part of the song (especially at 6:04 - 6:46, love the way you play there) . Expertly done man, seriously though, thank you
Ever since I heard the Piano Collections arrangement of this piece, I never thought I would hear another piano arrangement of it that could balance the technicality with the beauty and feeling inherent to “Aerith’s Theme”. I am both pleasantly surprised to see that here portrayed in your arrangement, while at the same time not surprised that it would be you who could do it. Thank you so much for all you do and sharing your wonderful talent! You’ve been a continual inspiration to me over the years and I’m glad to see you’re still posting. May this year find you well!
Kyle uploading this at midnight being like "u up? Listen to this.."
0:33 Wooow, I'm really blown AWAY by the sound quality! WTH that is really beautiful! What a beautiful sound from that piano! I have never heard anything this good on this channel, and it's also really excellent to take advantage of that beautiful piano to play soft and thoughtfully like that.
👍👍👍
This piano sounds so good! In the early days of the grand I remember I didn't like the sound much but whatever setup you have right now is working great
I've had some work done since then, and my recording set up is 100% better :D
😍 i had this song played instead of the wedding March when I walked down the aisle! Thanks for bringing me back to that day!
I wouldn't be the person I am today without you and your music. Perfect touch and great rearrangement!
How did I miss this!!!! AHHHHH
Glad to see you back on YT and Twitch Kyle 😁
Ahh I started learning Aerith's Theme a couple days ago and just saw that you uploaded this! Perfect timing haha. So beautiful Kyle, as always.
This rendition got me thinking about the way people perform this arrangement. It’s not hard to tell when someone is invested, intimate, and as familiar with the heart and soul of the meaning of the music they’re playing, and how they interpret the overarching feelings the music gives them. Pain, tears, remembrance, sorrow of loss, the powerful arcs and tearful, thunderous clutch on the keys, evoking powerful emotion and love-that’s what I drew from how you played this so... passionately.
When I was young, I felt the pangs of anger and rage, mixing with the tears upon the loss of Aerith, but her whole being encompasses a notion of love, forgiveness, and optimism. I hear people play like this, with so much force and heart as if to scream out in agony, only for the music to bring them ‘round to peace, and reflect on the memory of who Aerith was, and her wish for healing.
Some pianists play with such a light, soft, and gentle mood when they play this arrangement, and while that is always a quiet and tender treat, but this is pure emotion coming out. It speaks like a veteran who’s lived through this tale time and time again, with all the cracks showing from heartbreak.
Waouh, this is by far the most beautiful Aerith's theme arrangement I've ever heard! A perfect blend of delicacy and emotion. Thank you! And for the next cover of FFVII, I would say Tifa's theme, my favorite after Aerith's theme ;)
I think partly Kyle being so good when it comes to these covers and Aerith's theme itself being so comforting, you just want to drift off asleep to this. Really so soft and filling for the heart.
So beautiful... great to see you back, please don’t stop uploading 😭
You too don't stop 🎵👊
Kyle you have such a beautiful, distinctive style of playing that when your video comes up on autoplay I know it's you without looking. Been watching your videos for like a decade now and appreciate you sharing your gift with us!
Kyle, your music has been something calming through the ups and downs of life for the past several years. Thank you for sharing your music with us!
I'm so glad for this remasterd version. really reminds me the saddest moment of my fictional world
I've always been a big fan of you because of how well you utilize dynamics. Your FF7 tracks bring fricken tears to my eyes. Wow.
When broking up, I always stayed in my dark room and watched u played pianos. Ur music has leaded me to a fantasy dreams. Of hope. Of lost but floating and dying gradually. I love your song which are inspired by Debussy.
I still listen to your 2010 kingdom hearts dearly beloved arrangement ❤️💙 So happy you made this, reminds me of childhood and family
i have heard many people play this, but I have to admit your sound is the most amazing.. Thank you
The tone of the piano is crystal clear. Thanks for such a wonderful recording ! My ears are massaged.
This is extraordinary! I've been loving Final Fantasy VII Remake so much, and Aerith has my whole heart 🥺
Magnificent! One of my favorites! Beautifully played, as always
This is so beautiful and filled with so much spirit Kyle. Thank you.
That end gave me chills. Ohhhhh, Lord.
God you've gotten so much better from back when you were just trying "those who fight" so glad to have been here and watched ya talent grow. Keep it up Kyle 👍
This has to be one of the best piano arrangements I have ever heard, so much emotion in your playing.
Amazing! I've watched this many times now, and my girlfriend who is not familiar with Final Fantasy says she would listen to this all day long.
Stunning. Absolutely, stunning. You hear a lot of covers on youtube, but this one made me feel things I haven't felt since listening to Nobuo Uematsu's piano collections for the first time.
Wondrous phrasing as always
I did that last month, check it out here! th-cam.com/video/1091FH1iRpQ/w-d-xo.html
kylelandry dude. I can hardly describe how much better the newer version is. But at the same time that video 12 years ago is STILL incredible. I guess i am a little biased because it showed me what was possible as a kid. Got as far as the fast and long left hand arps and I couldn’t keep up in high school 😂 still needs practice today even. Thanks for that man.
tifas theme next plz!!
Mario Alanis YASS
Mario Alanis Yessss!
YES! I've been greatly anticipating this! Phenomenal work! Thank you!
This is so rich. I loved hearing the chords formed and ring...
very touching arrangement. Absolutely stunning. This piece of music is amazing because the way it communicates a message. It's also most as if it is a prayer of aerith pleading with the future but then accepting it. Truly a beautiful work
THE BASS SOUND IS SO CRISPPPPPP
You were right when you said you got it tuned a lot on stream hahaha
Keep up the good work Kyle✊
omg, this was incredible, I just relived playing the final fantasy VII game in my head while listening. Talk about spot on. And my favorite character in the game was Aerith, was weird when the character died off
This brings back so many memories, MY HEARTTTT
Something to get me through the night
Been watching your videos for almost 10 years now. Love them all! Still love the zelda covers most but this is beautiful.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Great job Kyle! Reminds me of Impressionism, especially Debussy! Isn’t a real piano so much nicer than a fancy keyboard?? :)
Incredible. It is this song that has drawn me into the final fantasy music. Thank you for uploading such great arrangement of the song!
I just absolutely love this. 🤯🔥
*comes back for more* that piano tho. I miss that sound.
That's some fucking masterwork right there bruh......
You have a super beautiful piano playing Kyle, it's always a pleasure to listen your covers
Omg this is so cool, i really like your arrangement. Im honestly so touched and I am a fan of yours. I cant express this in words but your playing is so beautiful. Thank you so much
You are my favorite pianist hands down bro. I appreciate all your videos. You have talent of the gods.
Oh my God so beautiful
Dude you made love to this song......
4:43
I have always thought that this brief cadence is the most impactful moment of this theme in every interpretation. It is almost like an announcement of impending emotion.
I’ve been extremely excited to hear Kyle’s covers of this game.
I can almost picture you duoing this with Lara or someone, Kyle. It's already a beautiful arrangement. The emotion in which you play always hooks me instantly.
Dude you and Arkton have the best covers of this piece. Amazing.
I wish i could hit the like button a thousand times
What a lovely rendition, thank you very much for sharing!
such high quality. well done sir.
The part at 6:04 gave me chills
Beautiful playing. Keep up the great work!
Thx for the nostalgia Kyle ❤️🎹🎶
Omg ive been a sub for so long, and hv not seen your videos for a while and suddenly i bump into this .... remind me of back in the days when you cover all my fav FF and other anime / games songs 😭😭 so much memories. Must hv been over 10 years ago. -mindblown- Thanks for being awesome.
best version i have erver seen
Hauntingly beautiful.
Ah yes. I remember this. Great remake from your old one!
That's what beyond beauty sounds like.
Why wasn't this in my recommended!? What's working with TH-cam algorithm!
Seriously though, this was a great performance. And you managed to find a great setup for the camera\microphone\audio issues, glad you managed to sort that out; only those who tried know it's far from easy!
Now the Grand sounds great, and your performance is inspiring as always. I wish this had more views!
I'm so glad you did this one--so comforting right now.
Very nice cover! I’m loving all of the new FF7 covers coming out recently. The best soundtrack to any game ever!
I'm barely a minute in and already had tears in my eyes. Beautifully moving Kyle. I first found and you years ago when I was looking up FFVII music and was blown away back then, its been incredible to watch you play over the years. I would absolutely love to see covers of the classics you did back then (Jenova, Those Who Fight, etc). But anything FFVII you do I will of course watch! :)
I recently redid Those Who Fight on the grand piano if you wanna check it out, also Eyes on Me, even if it's from FFVIII you might enjoy it ;)
@@kylelandry Eyes on Me is one of my favorites!! Oh man I'm excited, thank you :D
God you continue to be one of the best piano players I have the pleasure of listening to. Never change.
This is so lovely! you are so talented, thanks for sharing it with us
So sweet and lovely fantasy piano cover
