Chrono Trigger had so many great songs but this is probably the most beautiful one especially when played on a harp. I will always think of the lyrics my best friend Mike and I wrote to this song when I hear it about his Grandma. "Michael come sit on my lap, right now, and I will tell you a tale..."

Fantastic rendition. This track in particular always reminded me of Earthbound for some reason. Not sure if you've played that one but it has some glorious music I'd love to hear your take on.
Sounds fantastic! I wonder if you would consider any Chrono Cross songs as well in the future? PS: Thanks for the Terra's Theme Harp Solo (Extended). It's my favorite and I listen to it all the time!
Thank you so much! I actually have been working on a Chrono Cross song but it ended up taking a backseat to a FFII track I'm working on. I know, I have interesting priorities. It'll happen at some point haha P.S. - thank you, I'm glad you like it!! Feel free to let me know if there are other songs you'd like to see extended.

Some of my friends refer to the harp as "a standing piano you stick between your legs" but I do think the characteristics of both instruments are quite different. Glad you enjoy both now!! 😎
Such a beautiful arrangement. Thank you for giving us these wonderful musical gems. Any chance we can see you play from the Xenogears OST? Kindest regards :)

Is there some way to keep the higher pitched strings from sounding a percussive accent? I ask because I have never owned a harp. Can a soft material be used to keep the higher tuned strings from making a percussive sound?
Not sure what you mean about the percussive accent. Is there a specific part of the song where that happens? Some people place a cloth on the lower strings to prevent resonance/pedal noises in certain pieces, but I've personally never done that.
@@bigc418 I started working on Schala's Theme earlier this year, then I injured my wrist. That song ain't possible without a good working wrist, but luckily I'm a lot better now, so hopefully sometime within the next few months!
Loooooooooooove Schala's Theme. I had planned for it to be my next CT song but then I injured my wrist and couldn't execute it the way I wanted to. My wrist is much better now but not 100%. Hopefully I can attempt it sometime in the next few months 💜
@@Harpsibored hell yes! I look forward to it than. ^.^ also, fun fact I didn’t know until last year. But I guess lil’ Wayne made a song that wasn’t released due to copyright infringement issues, where he straight up used the FULL Shala’s theme in a rap song. I don’t recall the name of the song, but it’s on TH-cam for sure. The song was a hit with fans even though he couldn’t sell it, when he couldn’t get the rights to the track for the song, he changed the music and the song wasn’t as popular.
Great addition! Weird about the poll. Like, I know FFX-2 isn't the best-regarded entry in the series, but come on, the music still slaps. Speaking about town themes, I remembered one of my favorites, Town/Lively Town from Shining Force II. I think it would make for a fantastic harp piece. th-cam.com/video/T_VacONXFyc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the music recommendation! Not familiar with Shining Force at all but will give it a listen. Hahaha there were a few people who really did want 1000 Words though, which is why I mentioned I would really like to do that song eventually. But yeah, I dunno what the hell I was thinking even making that poll. Obviously a Chrono tune was gonna slaughter.
@@Harpsibored Shining Force is a representative of a somewhat forgotten genre, the strategic/tactical RPG. If you played FF Tactics, you roughly know what to expect. I think only widely-known series that are still keeping this genre afloat, AFAIK, are Fire Emblem and Disgaea (awesome OST warning). As for FFX-2, that OST is strange to me, because I'm normally a battle theme guy. Those are the tracks I usually like the best. But the battle themes in X-2 felt kinda meh and generic to me and I remember the field themes more. I actually like some of them more than their counterparts from FFX proper. The Calm Lands, for example. The FFX tune fits the place and the mood, but man, it just makes me wanna take a nap, you know? The X-2 has energetic piano chords that pump me up. Oh and in case you didn't know, FFX-2 has done the anime thing and has a side OST album with arrangements of the three main characters' themes sung by their Japanese VA's. Especially the Paine one, I think it's called "Nemuru Omoi" is great - fast jazz and the woman certainly has the voice talent to pull it off.
This is just my opinion. but I feel this song is lacking. I'm not sure of its a crispness or possibly a flow of the song. The main parts of the song sound great but its the in-between and the harp flare that idk, honestly idk, I wish I had a better musical ear/knowhow to put it all togeather in better words. Your ability to play the harp and the work you have done always brings a warmth to my heart, this one just doesn't hit that.
Ah well, can't win 'em all. I'm still proud of this one since I managed to get a decent recording during crazy weather with all of the strings in tune. .............................I think
