- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Here's my version of Cosmo Canyon from Final Fantasy 7! FF7 is one of my favorite games of all time, and this theme perfectly captures the feel of one of the most unique places in the game. I've had dozens of requests to do this theme over the years, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it ^^

When I was fifteen, I had endless arguments with my friend about whether his Playstation (1) or my N64 was better. Final Fantasy VII was his strongest piece of evidence 😮
Nothing playstation had could beat a night of Smash, Goldeneye, and StarFox64 with three friends though.
Your friend was right.
Counter argument Mr. Zonday. Ocarina of Time. Also why can't both be amazing together equally?
Freaking Tay Zonday King Chocolate Rain in the chat vibing on bahs for Smooth McGroove. Love to see it.
I was always jealous of my friend's PS1 Demo Disks.
I remember playing through ff7 in high school, and my grandma would just listen to the music.
Whenever I was in Cosmo Canyon, she'd always ask me to spend extra time there because it reminded her a little bit of the traditional music of where she was from. It was her favorite music in the whole game. She would have loved this.
Where was your Gran from? 😳🙏👍
Fascinating!
SMcGroove, you brought a smile to my 41 year-old face and lightened my heart. It's been 20+ years since my ears have heard this piece of music, but I immediately started whistling along like it never left me. You're a good thing for the world. Thanks.
You and me both. What a blast from the past
I may be a little over a year younger than you, but you are not the alone in that reaction. Nanaki being one of my favourite characters of the FF-games (7-10) I played only adds to that. The second is Aerith, and the third I like to a similar extent is Auron frm FFX. the rest don't come close as far as I am concenred.
We're getting old friend, and our memories are turning out to be pretty cool... 😎
Man this brings me back and when I was just in middle school and getting into high school all I had was a PlayStation one and this game final Fantasy 7
@@AfroMocha i had to borrow it from my older cousin...I felt like he just gave me the holy Grail...
I'll never forget the times when me and my father used to play this game together. I was really young, barely able to understand what even happened in the game. We were always playing it together before I had to go sleep, sometimes even a little bit longer, without my mom noticing. He'd sit on my bed with me and I was holding a big folder with lots of guide sheets, which he printed out from a wiki website about the game. I'll never forget how we used to just spend some time in Cosmo Canyon for no reason, just because we liked the music there so much. I'm really grateful for such beautiful childhood memories. Thank you dad
Same with my older brother, 20 years older than me. I was 6 years old, I use to watch him play and sleep on his laps.
I never knew the bababababa would suit so much with Cosmo Canyon!
One of my favorites (alongside the Cornered theme of Ace Attorney)
Awesome as always!!! 🎉🎉🎉
毎回ゲームとBGMのチョイスが神すぎる
FF7 has an unimpeachably amazing soundtrack, and you've really done Cosmo Canyon justice.
Also Sonic mania, persona 5, thunder force iv, doom/doom eternal, cuphead boss themes, mega man 9, mario kart 8 deluxe, plok SNES, mega man x1 and x4 and x5 and x6, pictionary NES, and more
Nobuo Uematsu is one hell of a composer. Haven't heard a bad song he's made yet. Among all the bangers from FF VII, this was probably my favorite.
Dare I say, the greatest composer of our age.
@@trollcalibur7032 Masayoshi Soken is giving him a run for his money to be honest. The stuff he's doing is amazing. Then again, he did basically learn a lot of his craft from Uematsu. If Soken is the future of FF music (which he is) the franchise is in extremely good hands. He's done some beautiful arrangements of Uematsu's stuff for FF XIV (since the game has tons of references and music from the mainline games) and also done absolutely tremendous stuff on his own that is very much in spirit of the FF games. Right down to having his own band that plays his FF music, just like Uematsu has The Black Mages.
what games did masayoshi do? @@Ashgrom
@@bubbaXzonePretty much everything in XIV, across all expansions, and kinda by extension XVI, which was done by much the same team, by my understanding.
@@bubbaXzone almost every single song in FF14, across every expansion over the (so far) 13 year run. Also FF16
Thanks for keeping the original Final Fantasy VII spirit alive. Please, more FFVII themes!
Great song choice. You nailed so many of the cool subtleties of this song. LOVE IT.
Ryu over here proving that it doesn't matter what type of streamer you are, the console wars end when acapella enters the fray
acapella/instrument collab when? 👀
THIS BRINGS ME BACK!!!! Red XIII's personal story is so memorable and heartbreaking. Thank you for performing this song. My Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Hype is at an all time high right now.
Heartbreaking though it was, it also held a kernel of self-discovery and some profound development. As for heartbreak specifically, there is still one scene in that game that beats this one hands-down. You know which scene I speak of. My apologies for stirring those memories though...
Nanaki is my favourite character in any final fantasy game. The cosmo canyon music is sacred to me. I used to walk around the area slowly so I could listen to it over and over again.
You sang this one beautifully ❤
This has the same replay value and vibe as gerudo valley
Nanaki is groundbreaking as an RPG party member. My favorite FFVII character as well. He's a good kid.
That's cool
It's very very cool
I've been singing this in my mind as a Smooth McGroove arrangement for so many years that I legitimately thought you'd already done this a while ago.
It's such a great fit I that I did a double-take when I saw the name of the video.
Ikr
I have this situation with several songs haha I try to look it up and it doesn't exist even though I can hear the bababa's so clearly.
Same with the Mortal Kombat theme and Wood Man, I can swear he did it but can't find them
I think every time he releases a song there's a mandela effect for many people, like "no, he definitely already did this one, right?"
綺麗な声ですね。いつ聴いても心地良い
The way you incorporated some of the slight tonal warbles from the PS1 sound hardware is an amazing little addition that puts this over the top. So good!
Back after two years and still hitting it as strong as ever!
So good to hear some FF7 from you! This is fantastic!
This was the first piece of music I taught myself to play on my dad's Roland E35 synth keyboard, with both of my hands (both accompaniment and melody, with chord harmonies where I could, and using the auto drum function. It took me *months* to learn both parts, and even longer to use the pitch bend lever with my elbow for these *specific* notes you nail absolutely perfectly.
This song still gives me shivers to this day, and to my surprise my hands actually remembered their positions on keys, so I had an impromptu air keyboard session. It's incredible that you were so accurate you dragged muscle memory from nearly 20 years ago back up with the sheer on-point-ness of it!
Thank you for this surreal memory.
I wasn't having a good day, but hearing this masterpiece made it a hell of a lot better! You are such a legend Smooth! Thank you!
I never thought that peak at @1:35 could hit harder than the original version, but man, something about Smooth just makes it hit right in the heart. Amazing song!!!!! So glad to see you back!
I tought the same thing
Yep.
Yessir! Gave me chills too 😮
You have no idea how long I’ve wanted him to cover this song 😭❤️
Dude’s control is insane
The voicings are crazy
The man is back with another banger! PLEASE do FF7 Cid's Theme! So memorable! 👊😎✨✨✨
Please, Smooth….this….^^^^
Cid's theme is my favorite for sure.
cid getting left out of the remake is sadge
It is emotional, hopeful and sad all in one score.... Masterpiece
While we wait for Smooth's cover...

Man, the memories just flooded my mind of all the moments in Cosmo Canyon. All the tears shed, all the heart break...
My god, you really are picking the best of the best. Phenomenal track! Love your cover, it is such a vibe!
高音にいつも癒されてます。
ありがとう！
To this day i still hum this theme from time to time.. It just is so good....
Beautiful. Had tears in my eyes. Ff7 OST hits different for many people and it's always a good memory attached to each hit...
all these comments are so cringey.
Really thanks Smooth! I love that song! One of the best songs from one of the best soundtracks ever!
Hope you finally came back for real! Take care of your health so you can stay with us.
I love how faithful you are to the original compositions. It built the exact same way as the OG, and that pitch bend gives me chills no matter how many times I've heard it. One of my fav vg tracks of all time.
One of my favorite tracks from the game. So chill and yet so powerful at the same time.
My best friend introduced me to this game in 97. We would play at his place since I didn't have a Playstation yet. I've since played countless thousands of hours through my 39 years. Miss you, bud.
COSMOOTH CANYOOVE FINALLY
Your Final Fantasy covers were always fantastic I'm so glad you're back
Take care 🙏
Back with a BANGER!
A Final Fantasy deep cut... I dig it! (and the hats of course ✨)
I played FF7 for the first time last year and MAN Cosmo Canyon was the one song that really wormed its way into my head ever since I first heard it. Wish I could re-experience it all over again for the first time
AMAZING VIDEO this song is so nostalgic it’s crazy used to listen to this when I was a bit younger 💛💛✨
I got chills listening to this. To me, Final Fantasy VII was the first game/narrative that was genuinely interested in its supporting characters. It blew my mind back then, especially Red XIII’s personal quest. This was a treat to listen to!
this is my favorite ffvii song and i've been hoping for this for years 🥹 thank you for all the work you put into this, it is so beautiful ❤ you're the best, smooth!
I somehow forgot about this track, but hearing it again was enough to choke me up. Always loved vibing to songs like this.
This is my favorite ff7 song and this version is now probably my favorite! I'm floored how well your voice evokes the feeling of that high melody!!
I remember getting this game, christmas of 1998~
Id played up to cosmo canyon with my friend with his copy of the game, and that night after doing all the family stuff- i settled in to play more of this game~
Thjs song will always hit home and remind me of that day~♡
Those bends in the melody sound so good~!!
I may have not played the ps1 version but the steam version all those years still gave me the same memory’s and I wish I could play this game blind all over again
It’s great to have you back Mr. McGroove 🤘
I finally played through the original FF7 last year after completing FF7 Remake. I never had a Playstation growing up so I missed out on many of those games. Mr. McGroove did an excellent job with this.
Beyond excited to visit Cosmo Canyon in Rebirth and hear this amazing track again as we go and pay our respects to Seto and Nanaki finds out the truth of what happened.
Literally brought tears to my eyes. This was my favorite part of disc one and is still the part of FF7 that I look forward to most on replays
Wow, this one was awesome. Those high notes were impressive.
I loved the song when I was a kid and that was 28 years ago now thanks cool done 😊
I'll take all the Final Fantasy songs you wanna throw at me! FFVII is definitely my #2 FF game!
@@I.HEAR.A.SOUND. VI of course. :)
@@RipTheJackRoh no, what if it's 9
@@adventureoflinkmk2 Gotta be IX. Gotta be!

Mine is FF6. That game changed my life for the better
Bro i just came back after 3 yrs and glad hes still doing this
It's amazing how you've captured the essence of the original my man, much love from Ireland ❤
Fantastic, brought me right back to playing this game in college almost 30 years ago.
Have you had a chance to play the remake yet?
Love anything FF7.
yep
Man, I loved exploring the rooms and visiting the shop to this music. The best place to buy HP Plus materia!
I'm always amazed at how you can wear totally different clothes at the same time like these two different hats. Truly incredible.
You’re some kind of wizard dude. Your covers give me goosebumps every time
Final Fantasy 7... So many good tunes, you have a huge reservoir of excellent covers in that game! 😍
This is a powerful and a beautiful rendition of one of the greatest Final Fantasy tracks ever.
Chills, dude! This was such a gift!
That ending. The long note so goooooood!
Yess this is like my favorite song from the game!! You nailed it man!
THE BLACK KITTY !! HE'S STILL SO CUUUUUTE !
Always a classic, great job.
Favorite place on the game, I only saw walkthroughs but this was my favorite song so far.
I'm in the middle of replaying the OG FF7, and just got to Cosmo Canyon. Take a break, check RUclips, and this was just uploaded. Couldn't have happened at a better time. What an amazing rendition of an amazing song!
Dude. Right in the feels. 🥹
This is probably my favorite video you've done, and I've been here since Guile's theme. Such amazing memories from this!
I watched this knowing full well you'd perfectly replicate the slide/bend in the high notes and it STILL blew me away.
This sounds great. I love the pah pah pah part, really calming :)
He just used the red sunmoning materia for Onion Cutting Ninjas, didn't he? Got me right in the nostalgic feels this one! Great job McGroove! Love this one (and the others too of course)!!!
Yo son, this shit slaps.
Whenever I forget what FF7 sounds like, this song puts me back in that chair, controller in-hand marveling.
Smooth back with a bang! Love it! So great to know that you are feeling well and rocking again! More FF music please, it's the best!
One of those esoteric themes that absolutely NEEDED to be addressed! Thank you!
Another Great classic track reimagined from the master himself ❤ can't wait for more ff6 and ff4 content too
Amazing. I remember getting stuck on this bit in the caves for ages
I don't know why, but this melody is so satisfying to me. As a kid, I remember just sitting and enjoying that music.
Smooth McGroove with another classic cover where I'll found myself coming back multiple times to enjoy it 😄😁. Thanks mate ! 👍
my favorite final fantasy track. this is such a gem. thank you very much mr mcgroove 🤩
@smooth mcgroove Hey man, big fan of the channel here. I watched through a lot of your videos and couldnt help noticing that youve covered a lot of the most popular songs from big games like mario, zelda and final fantasy. I was wondering, there doesnt seem to be a cover of Zeldas Kakariko village. Its one of my favorite songs from the Zelda series and It would be great if you could cover that. Youre content is great man, you perfecty capture every note giving me the same feels I would get growing up with these songs. Keep up the good work, youve got a subscription from me!
This is AMAZING!!! Hum this melody to myself ALL the TIME!!!
NAILED IT absolutely NAILED IT!!!
Esse som é do caralho! Nostálgico. Thanks, Sir.
Wow. The song started and I immediately started grinning. This is fantastic!
This was far and away my favorite song in the whole game, nice work!
The nostalgia playing through this area ❤
Ohhh, great choice. Cosmo Canyon is one of my favorite places to visit in FF7. Great music and well interpreted. I will like (if they are good) and listen to each one of these hits as long as you make them.
You need to hear ALL of them. Smooth's been rollin these out for years now. He hasn't made ONE single bad Acapella. Not ONE.
This brings back so many memories! It makes me want to go back and play the game again!
Headphone users are blessed.
Great stereo usage
Always one of my favorites. And no exception here.
This and Corridor of Time made me teary eyed. Thank you SMcG
Oh my gosh this definitely captured the memory of the old Final Fantasy 7 series for PlayStation 1 this was one of my favorite songs Cosmo Canyon and red XIII was definitely my favorite characters besides Cid and Vincent
so epic. I also love the cat in the background climbing around while you're singing
Friend: Oh cool. Are you playing FFVII?
Me: Naw, it's just Smooth McGroove doing the Cosmo Canyon song. Had you fooled, didn't he?
Aquatic ambiance, corridors of time, dire dire dock and now Cosmo canyon is my "mount Rushmore" of smooth mcgroove.
When I was in high school, I had mono. If you've never had mono, you're lucky. I was sick for SO long, and most of the time all I had the energy for was laying on the couch and watching my mom play Final Fantasy 7.
My only fond memories from that time were of this game and the quiet relaxation of just watching someone else play a game they enjoy.
I’ve wanted this exact video for well over 5 years
The nostalgia chills have my eyes fluttering! FF7 helped me through one of the hardest times of my life when I was younger. Thanks for doing this!
I'm so happy you got the bends just right. Ugh. What a piece, and what a cover. ❤
A personal favorite in the town songs. Peaceful, calming, but with a bit of nobility to it.
Smooth's version give it a different flair.
