LYRICS Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark, For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart, To weave by picking up the pieces that remain, Melodies of life - love's lost refrain. Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why. We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye. And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told ? Let them ring out loud till they unfold. In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me. Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name. A voice from the past, joining yours and mine. Adding up the layers of harmony. And so it goes, on and on. Melodies of life, To the sky beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond. So far and away, see the birds as it flies by. Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky. I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings. Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings. In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me? Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind? A voice from the past, joining yours and mine. Adding up the layers of harmony. And so it goes, on and on. Melodies of life, To the sky beyond the flying bird - forever and on. If I should leave this lonely world behind, Your voice will still remember our melody. Now I know we'll carry on. Melodies of life, Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts, as long as we remember.
My daughter is named Melody, partly because this is the song that inspired me to get into music. I’ve played your version to her since she was in the womb and she loves it every time. She’s now 3 months old and last time she smiled when she heard the intro. Thank you for sharing your beautiful playing with us all.
Her birthday should be soon right? Why don´t you learn and play her a FF Intro/Outro or Compilation Arrangement of every FF a she ages? You already got 16 Years planned lmao and I bet 17 and 18 are out till she gets there!
This is beautiful! I don't think I've cried to a cover of a song before. But when I heard, I remember of the times when me and my 2 brothers, along with my cousin, would sit in front of the television and watch my aunt play through the entire game with us. It was such a good experience and I want to thank you for reminding me of those good times. As rough and dark as it is now, I really do want to thank you for letting me have this moment. Thank you. Truly inspiring.
Lucky you are that day ps2 is very expensive for me and almost impossible to accuire but i do other ways to play this renting for 40pesos per hour and can only afford 1 hour judeging by my allowance but i still fall for the game mostly the water swimming scene
@@jinkazama5184 its on ps1 not ps2..i played it 2 times long ago i remember waking up early in the morning to do some level grinding before i go to school..pinakapaborito kong final fantasy series..
7 years later, I am still listening to this rendition of Melodies of Life. DaisukeMinamizawa knows how to put feeling through his music and you can tell that from the chords. These chords and notes are very well planned and are not stale or robotic. This is a true, organic, and very humanly piece of music. Thank you forever for your hard work and dedication, friend.
I used to play classical and this inspired me to take up plucking over guitar picks all over again. Your guitar playing is really disciplined and at the same time felt really passionate. I don't normally comment on videos but I just wanted to tell you that this made me really happy and nostalgic. Thank you for covering this song so beautifully.
Wow, what a beautiful version! I don't remember having seen a video with this many views and so few dislikes before. Right now, 99.64% of all feedback is positive (2239 likes / 8 dislikes).

I have always been an avid FF fan and this was one of my fave tunes from FF9. Love your personal additions and variations you put into your version. You did the composer proud.
Melodies of Life is my all-time favourite theme, and your acoustic cover was nothing short of a masterpiece, Minamizawa-san! I'm literally in tears! ;w; Thank you so much for your beautiful playing! ♥♥♥
This is absolutely beautiful. I always love guitar versions of Uematsu's songs. They show the beauty and majesty of the composer's works. Wow, you capture the melancholy and the hope of this piece. Well done.
man you are a fantastic guitar player. I love all of your final fantasy songs and listen to them every morning to start my day. If i lived close to you i would pour all my money into trying to get you to tech me :) keep the beautiful music coming :)

LYRICS
Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark,
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart,
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain,
Melodies of life - love's lost refrain.
Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why.
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye.
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told ?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.
In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me.
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name.
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds - forever and beyond.
So far and away, see the birds as it flies by.
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky.
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings.
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings.
In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying bird - forever and on.
If I should leave this lonely world behind,
Your voice will still remember our melody.
Now I know we'll carry on.
Melodies of life,
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts, as long as we remember.
Thank you
Thank you much
一つの楽器で奏でているとは思えないくらい凄い重厚感。

本日FFの楽譜2冊買ってきました！ジブリよりだいぶ難しいですが頑張ります。
もし第3弾があるなら「反乱軍のテーマ」「悠久の風」「フィッシャーマンズ・ホライズン」、それと南澤さんも好きだという「ビビのテーマ」あたり入るとうれしいです。それと楽譜にしなくてもいいので南澤さんのビッグブリッヂも見てみたいなぁ…ってのは独り言です
A hammock or laying on some grass to take a nap could really could be good with this right now.
泣けます。
ありがとう。。。
南澤さんの楽譜と演奏で人生が変わりました。 今 私にとってギターは生き甲斐です。 いつかあなたのような演奏をできる日を夢見て練習に励んでます。 本当に ありがとうこざいます。
とりあえず曲が弾けるまでは難しくないんですけどね。やっぱりこの方上手いですね、、、

ダガーの歌声が思い出されます😭
私もマスターしたい一曲です！！
素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます✨✨
Dudeeee, that was a pretty solid arrangement, as a fellow guitar player and arranger I humbly salute you, amazing version, keep up the good work.
Wow, what a beautiful version! I don't remember having seen a video with this many views and so few dislikes before. Right now, 99.64% of all feedback is positive (2239 likes / 8 dislikes).
I love how it sounds on the steel string guitar
SUGOI, DAISUKE-SAN! Anata Ha. Yoku Oboete-imasu!
The Nostalgia hit me so hard, I could die.
Только, что прослушала в фортепианном исполнении. Спасибо за гитару. Очень выразительно 😊.
I'M FROM 2021
i listen to this 11 years ago and here i am suddenly feel nostalgic and come here to listen to this song over again
Amazing! Favourite song from my favourite game, I'm going to be up all night watching you play and trying to learn it too!
Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark,
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart.
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain.
Melodies of Life - Love's lostain.
Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why,
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye,
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.
In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me.
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name.
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life.
To the sky beyond the flying birds -
Forever and beyond.
So far and away, see the bird as it flies by,
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky,
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings.
Leave them now and see what tommorow brings.
In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life.
To the sky beyond the flying birds -
Forever and beyond.
If I should leave this lonely world behind.
Your voice will still remember our melody.
Now I know we'll carry on.
Melodies of Life.
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts,
As long as we remember.
"This is like you're talking to your soul,...
From the past..."
"It's so peaceful, at the same time sad from the past which can never be back..." "Life goes on, this is the reality in this lonely world behind"... "I must move on, we must, while reminiscing our sad past, which will be in our hearts and soul forever".
感動しました。そして感同しました。
日本語のメッセージが無いのも寂しいので。^^
とっても良いです。気持ちが安らぎました。

I think he really loved the song.
I played this song for my music class!
some jerks disliked this masterpiece...... how could they?
Some people have their opinion ya know :/
Obviously those are the villains from the game that came to the real word to press dislike 😁
It was Kuja.
Must've been Queen Brahne and her gang.
they might think that it is the download button :D
Nearly made me cry. Beautiful man. You are my hero right now
La mejor música de todos los final fantasy
Beautiful song and amazing guitar playing! Now I wanna play FF IX again LOL
