I'm not familiar with this piece but it has a great kind of country western vibe to it. Really like that violin/theremin combo you do.. it just works so well!
Thanks Luke! The Erhu is such a nice voice to complement violin and viola, and I'm so glad that I picked it up! This song plays only one in ffix, but it's a really powerful moment and just a great song in general :)
Holy crap, this is an AMAZING and almost meditiative take on a classic. So many layers! I like that you added the nice litte coda section at the end. Also, probably good timing given the imminent (?) FFIX remake/refresh/renovation/whatever announcement...
This song has been on my list for a while and I just started replaying it again with my oldest! It'd be awesome if it got a little more attention from a refresh, because it's such a great game!
I was really excited for this cover because FFIX is probably my favorite in the series, and you did not disappoint! I love the gradual addition of instruments--it really pays beautiful homage to the scene from the game. Excellent work :)
I tried really hard to like IX. But the characters, the plot, the combat, and even the high frequency of random battles just zapped any enjoyment I had while playing. Plus each FF installment before it seemed to throw in some really innovative elements but IX just... didn't.
You did a phenomenal job on this, Shea! Rich, varied, thematic...really strikes the intended emotions! The time you've spent dwelling on this, the obstacles you cleared to make this, all paid off!
@@SheaViolinyou made a lot to resonate with, in addition to what was already there. While you did slow it down, made it more melancholy and contemplative; I also found it to feel sweeter and more comforting, too. Truly great arrangement and performance!
FFIX is one of the greatest FF games and it definitely has the best over-all soundtrack on them all. All Final Fantasies have great tracks, but FFIX is so uniformly good throughout.
It's a shame that I could barely even play IX so I don't even recognize its' music 😔 I should toss the OST on sometime and at least give the music some appreciation it deserves.

Omg FFIX, one of my other favs!!!! I don't hear this one often, but it's a gem. Lovely!
Thanks to much Annalisa!! I'm so glad you liked it!
Hey Shea, thanks for that, that was truly such a great arrangement, I did enjoy it a lot!
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! I'm so glad that came through in the arrangement, and I'm glad you liked it!
I'm not that big on IX but even I'm gonna give props to its soundtrack, and you did this wonderfully. Really lovely piece, Shea.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed my rendition!

This is one of my favorite FF themes, and you nailed it. It sounds so raw and introspective. Really lovely job as always!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it!
damn you make me remember how much I love this game, which is to say - A LOT! :_(
I'm planning on finishing a playthrough with my oldest soon! It's a classic for sure, with an amazing soundtrack!
Really love how this flows and your multi-instrumentalist cover style suits this so perfectly
Thanks so much HighZ!
I feel like this song was made for you to cover. It's lovely.
I'm really glad it worked out the way it did! Thanks!

Thank you so much Thomas! I'm so glad it resonated with you :)

It really is! There are a few others I'd like to do from the soundtrack some day, for sure!

It is a great OST, for sure! Consistently great and serving the theme the whole way through.
