Final Fantasy IX - Terra (Harp Solo)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 дек 2024
- Finally! Here's the frequently requested song "Terra" on harp, from Final Fantasy IX, my favorite game on this planet. And possibly on another planet too. I hope I did this song justice, since this is one of the amazing Uematsu tracks that inspired me to learn the harp.
FYI, I did a poll on Twitter the other day asking people an extremely important question: what exactly are those tall structures in the background on Terra? My headcanon says they're condominiums formerly inhabited by Terrans with exorbitant rent (bet the realtor said "look, you get a clear view of that nice pond! Don't mind that this room is the size of a shoebox and the only pets allowed are the rats that chew through your cereal boxes and leave droppings in the kitchen cabinet!), but trees/mushrooms was the most popular answer. Tell me what you think they are in the comments section!
Composed by: Nobuo Uematsu
Arranged & Performed by: Harpsibored
P.S. - I'm wearing blue, not red (the actual Terran color), to symbolize the eerie blue light of Zidane's memories. Terra is lit by Gaia's blue crystal, which is probably why the entire planet is......well, blue. I like to think that the developers specifically dressed Zidane in blue to foreshadow his insurmountable affiliation with Gaia, ultimately overcoming Garland's attempt to override his soul. Dun dun.

Thank you for playing such beautiful arrangements of this music.
This harp song is wonderful
It's not often I am moved by music, especially songs I've heard a dozen+ times but this is truly ethereal. Thank you.
Ahhh thank you so much, this is too generous ❤️❤️❤️ more FFIX music to come!!
"So you believe a given name has meaning..."
"Boy, you have been bewitched by the light of the blue moon."
Garland's ability to spout out pithy riddles is unparalleled
1:32 CHILLS
One of the most amazing leitmotifs in gaming
Thank you, I'm glad you like the low note section!!! That was my favorite part to play ❤️
I listen to Terra over and over again and return to my carefree childhood. Thank you for that❤
Thank you for listening 💖
Ugh, we are so lucky you're on the internet. I have to wait years before individuals emerge with both the musical ability AND personal desire to cover such pieces from video games.
Aww, it's nice to be considered a beneficial existence on the internet. And I'm not even showing my feet.
@@Harpsibored 🤣🤣 incoming feet pics confirmed
Wow, I didn't think this song could be arranged for a single harp and still keep its magic. Delightful
Thank you so much!! 💖 I'm glad I was able to pull it off as a solo. Left hand was slightly tricky 😅
You‘re a beautiful human being playing beautiful music. I just love that there is RUclips content like this… calming, soothing. Wish you all the best from
Germany.
Thank you so much ❤️
Remember the first time getting to Terra?
Chills, this is so good 💚
Yeah trippy af. Must've been those blue mushroom towers 💙
Was learning English alongside the game as a kid. When reaching Terra I was very immersed. I remember the feeling of being a bit sad, and very intrigued, slowly learning of Zidane's forgotten past. This song, as well as Bran Bal, really stuck with me since.
I lost battle against some weird red monsters with eyes, had to restart :p
I was 9, year 2000, I had to leave for a class trip that very day, I wanted everything but to put down my gamepad and quit the game. Found a mog in a jar, and said bye for a week. Since then I redid the game like 10 times on each possible device, from the PSP to a Steam Deck with Moguri Mod 🙏
i came here to comment this exact same thing haha
Beautiful cover I played 9 nearly five years ago now I still go back to this song quite a bit so relaxing, yet melancholy with a hint of mystery.
Thank you so much!! 💙 Relaxing with melancholy and mystery, you summed this tune up in a nutshell damn
Takes me back to a different time, almost feels like a different world now. Very beautiful playing, I always enjoy what you release.
Thank you so much!!! 💕 yeah Uematsu did amazing capturing that otherworldly quality with Terra
I feel so special. Ff9 is a niche /hardcore fan base this was beautiful nothing like the ff9 ost
Best game and therefore best fan base ❤️
@@Harpsibored fa sho that. I'm so sick of ff7 getting remakes movies and none stop hype like 6 wasn't better but 9 is so underrated it blasphemous to me but so glad us ff9 true fans keep marching forward..
The best ff ever..
So sad no remastered hasn't been released after 4 new consoles... the disrespect...
I guess it's because square went Enix
One of my favorite tracks in my favorite game, along with Bran Bal coincidentally. This brought me to tears.
Fun story, I loved the Bran Bal song and kept playing it on piano over and over again as a kid to the point where my dad was like "Uhh....can you play something else.....?"
Thank you for listening ❤️
THis is absolutely amazing, what a good job!!!
Thank you 💙
This feels like it would play in a dream sequence or on another planet. The dark, mysterious bass part and the high, eerie, clear melody and chords just make it sound otherworldly.
On another planet, eh? I see what you did there. Hehe. Thank you for listening!!
i cry a lot listening to this amazing artist, one of my favorite songs from final fantasy IX
Thank you so much 😭
There's just something so relaxing about FF music being played on a harp, it just sounds otherworldly, definitely subscribing after listening
Thank you so much 💖 I agree, I feel like Uematsu used harp so much in these "otherwordly" location themes because of its ethereal quality
One of my favorite tracks from the game. You captured it perfectly and found a way to make it your own. If "art" is "anything that makes us feel" than yours is the highest form. 🙏🛐
Thank you so much ❤️ I tried to keep it faithful to the original but also modified it a bit to work as a harp solo. I'm glad you like it ✨️
This and the other Terra's theme are my favourite themes of Final Fantasy IX. You make them sound so unreal...!
Thank you!!!! 💙 both amazing themes!
@@Harpsibored , yes, as amazing as blue is its landscape.
It's hard to find words after listening your cover. Closing my eyes and travel to Terra with your harp was an amazing experience. Thanks a lot for this perfection.
Thank you so much, it means a lot to hear that this evokes the feeling of FFIX 🥰
Finally listening now! I wanted to be able to savour it! I love how you alternate the octave of those little chords. I also liked the little pauses in the chorus following 1:30. I also liked that outro. :)
Thank you so much, glad you liked it! I made those small changes to make it work better as a harp solo. I like how it turned out ❤️
Paired with the imagery of Terra, I truly felt transported to another world the first time this tune washed over me. You gave me that feeling again! Magnificent and exquisite!
Thank you so much! 💖 yeah Uematsu did a great job making this song ethereal ✨️
That dorian sound/mood is so gorgeous and haunting. Great job as usual!
Thank you ❤️
Your version somehow feels like it belongs in ffv. This is absolutely amazing, possibly my favorite piece you've done yet. Nobuo Uematsu said ff9 was perhaps his favorite to compose. You definitely did it justice. Keep on strumming! Er...whatever they call it. Harpying? No, that's not quite right...
Thank you so much!!! 💖 That's interesting you mentioned FFV. I think FFV has some of the most mysterious sounding harp tunes (Fate in Haze, A New World, Sealed Away, etc.), so that's a huge compliment!
I guess the correct term would be to keep on plucking but harpying sounds more badass, so let's go with that
Simply gorgeous arrangement and playing. Immediately transported me to another world. It's like the song was meant to be experienced this way
Thank you so much!!! That's Terra in a nutshell 💙
I don't typically comment, but I gotta say I love this song and arrangement. I return to listen to this frequently. I love that half-step resolve in the melody every other time. Thank you very much!
This is absolutely delicious! And it comes at the right time, just when Memoria Project reignited people's love for FF9. ❤
Zidane would be proud of you! Maybe you're that blue light from his memories! 😉
Thank you so much!!! Yeah what a happy coincidence 💙
This is just perfection. Wonderful arrangement!! It's the perfect vibe, makes me feel happy just listening to it.
Thank you so much 🥰
No idea why I was recommended this video, but I'm certainly glad I was. This is utterly sublime in every way imaginable!
Thank you!!! 💙 the algorithm finally doing something nice! My algorithm keeps recommending me celebrity plastic surgery videos. Sigh
@@Harpsibored I know exactly what you mean! I usually get recommended woodworking / wood turning vids or those "Never eat pizza again, just use cheese and a kiwi fruit" or something similar. All my channel consists of is motorsport related games, and all I usually watch is similar. Most of the time I think the RUclips algorithm is having a mental breakdown :P
Beautiful take on that theme I love
Thank you!!! 💖
綺麗な曲ですね。森の神秘な感じがします。❤
Amazing just simply amazing and beautiful.
Thank you so much 💖
What a combination. A gorgeous woman playing a harp to the music that has captured my youth forward. I could fall for this woman easy. As much as FF (1-9) is dear to me, IX is the dearest. You did an amazing job, thank you.
IX is the best ❤️
@@Harpsibored ❤️
I love watching your focus and passion while you play. The satisfaction you get from it. I was always a big fan of the tracks in Final Fantasy games that had harp music in them. Strong memories.
Thank you so much 💖 FFIX is my favorite game of all time so I probably end up putting more passion into the FFIX tracks, hehe. The bias is real.
Been listening to this for 20 years and this is a great rendition❤
You've had great taste for 20 years ❤️ thank you!!!
Another stunning cover. I almost want to say that with the harp completely replacing the main melody it gives an even more haunting feeling to the song for me. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, glad you like it as a harp solo 🥰
The ending is so beautifull, i love how you did that. Those first notes are special for me in this song and you gave them the best good bye.
Ahh thank you so much for appreciating that! I felt like closing it with the opening just made sense. Like a circle 💙
Harpisbored, thanks for another rendition of a great hit, you truly do more than justice to original themes and make them fresh and actual.
Thanks and always keep it up as you always have.
Much love and support, your fan.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that 😭
Those towers look like mushrooms to me, so everyone must be trippin ballz there. 🍄 🙂🫠 🍄 Awesome rendition and it's cool to hear a pure Harp solo version of it. Excellent as always! 👍 👍 🌟 🎶 🎵
Heh, ever see the optional scene in Cleyra where Quina eats a mushroom and starts tripping?
Thank you 💙✨️
@@Harpsibored Actually I have seen the scene of the strange apron clad individual that speaks so strangely. 😁 Quina loves them psychadelics obviously. 🍄😵💫You're welcome!
What a performance. Terra is probably my favorite part of the game. Will have to ask my wife to play it for me again on the piano x) Never knew I could enjoy the sound of the harp so much btw, makes me want to learn it just to play some of these songs.
Thank you so much!!! Looove the first time you go to Terra, it's trippy af. Glad you like the sound of the harp ❤️
Incredible. I got excited when I saw the title. One of my favorite FF tracks that is really under appreciated
Thank you so much!! 💖 glad you like it!!
I just wanted to hear that song, one more time, i seached on RUclips "Terra FFIX Orchestra", and i found your video.
Thank you.
You made me feel so more nostalgic feelings through your harp.
You're an amazing player and a beutiful person, i'm sure. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found me here! 💙
Another untouchable performance from my favorite harpist. Beautiful.
Thank you 😭
As always, your arrangements sweep me into fantastic realms I've been to before, but with an entirely new twist.
An arrangement I would like to suggest, due to how much I would think it could suit harp, is the song "Epitaph" from Final Fantasy VI. It's a bittersweet and slightly melancholic tone, as the name implies, and I think you would surely bring a new height to this fantastic work from Uematsu.
Also, I am happy to see that you aren't in need of the wrist braces as often. Very happy for your continued good health!
Thank you so much!!!
Omg so...I've been working on Epitaph the past month. I was gonna record it and then got writer's block somewhere, decided to mess with Terra while I was figuring it out....and here we are lol. But I will try to finish it soon!! Here's a video of me messing around with Epitaph if you're curious: twitter.com/harpsibored/status/1648689173702877189?t=TNA9WuLQ-42yZemaDBVUaQ&s=19
Thank you for the health wishes ❤️ I was nervous about this song bc there's a lot of left hand movement but I survived!
@@Harpsibored First, why have I not been following you on Twitter? The heck is wrong with me? Followed.
Secondly, guess great minds think alike. Your excerpt on Twitter is fantastic. I'll wait here patiently for whatever you choose to arrange next, whether that's Epitaph or something else, because your music always brings a smile to my face.
Yayyyyy! Thank youuuuuu
@Harpsibored I like so much your job. Final Fantasy 9 is my so favorite game. Terra's music in CD4 is splendid music, your song is very good
Thank you so much, glad you like it ❤️
Eerie, sad, calming and mysterious vibe just like clueless zidane & his friends first step into terra
Hahaha "clueless." They've been bewitched by the blue light! 💙
Thank you ❤️
One of my all time favorite Uematsu pieces. He uses this melody often as a leitmotif in other FF-titles, and it has this feeling of spring, rebirth or awakening. It's magical. Beautifully played and interpreted!
It's interesting, I always felt like the version of this melody in Place to Return to Someday was much more melancholy and wistful. Whereas the Terra version sounds more like a rebirth as you mentioned. Maybe because Zidane is about to finally find out where he's from and experiences somewhat of a "rebirth" when he breaks down and is rescued by his friends. Anyway, thank you for listening ❤️
Another amazing FFIX cover! Your music represents the magic that is FFIX and its music. I'm very happy I found your channel. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much!!! Glad you're here, since FFIX is my favorite game of all time and there will be more songs to come 💖
Oh wow, this is awesome! Terra has always been one of my favorites and you played it beautifully! Also, FF9 is my favorite game too! 😊
Thank you so much!!! 💕 heh, good taste
This is magical. I just discovered the channel today and I'm working through all the songs.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy! ❤️
So beautiful, I always loved that one, felt so relaxing before a big intense moment. Always great to hear your music ❤
Thank you so much 💖
Would listen to over and over. THANK YOU!
Thank you, so happy to hear that!! I'll loop it sometime 💕
This is unique, I barely have some words. Shivers and respect. I'm speachless. From a MIDI track to reality, it's not an easy work. A duo with an oboe or an english horn would be astonishing.
Thank you so much! ❤️ Yeah I agree a duet would be a more faithful recreation of the original track. I prefer to hear things reimagined on solo harp whenever possible though. I...........might be a little biased.
Beautiful arrangement, amazing performance. Thank you for sharing with the world! 💐
Thank you ❤️
These covers make my day ❤️
Thank you 😭
Once again a nice melody played live. Nice work
Thanks dude!!! ❤️
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!!! 💖
Subbed, happy to have found your channel. I cannot stop listening to this. FFIX truly has the best story and best music. You did justice to this. Harp is just perfect for these tunes.
Yay, glad you're here! FFIX is my favorite game of all time 🥰 thank you!!!
Yeeeees. I've been waiting for this one. Right on!
Thank you, glad you like it 🥰
Ive always thought of the Harp as an instrument played by angels in heaven. This is just so beautiful and peaceful 😢. I play both piano and guitar but ive always felt like the piano and the harp fall into that category of blissful sounds on instruments. Very well done 😢
Absolutely amazing I just recently discovered your stuff and its been nothing but fantastic. Running through FF IX and getting to Terra for the first time I remember I would sit there and just listen to this song play on loop lol. FFIX has my favorite score out of any FF. Maybe one day you could pull off a rendition of Memoria. Keep up the outstanding work!
Thank you so much!!! I used to do the same thing with Roses of May. I had a save file specifically on the Red Rose, heh. By the way here's a longer version of Terra to chill out to if you want: ruclips.net/video/El_uwun0m9c/видео.html
Memoria is definitely on my to-do list! ❤️
@@Harpsibored it just goes to show Nobuo really knew how to massage the mind with his music. Roses of May was another fantastic piece to let play on loop. I hum that to myself quite often along with Freyas theme haha. I love your extended videos theyre great to listen to when im at work. Thank you for all the musical treats.
@@Harpsibored so listening to this yet again for the 100th time lol i was wondering. Have you attempted to play that entire section of the game? Like the soulless village of Bran Bul and Garlands theme to youre not alone. some awesome pieces.
Excellent cover, great performance!
As for those things on Terra, tbh I always thought they were like giant mushroom things or something like the trees of Terra. I dunno. Its been a while since I've played 9 up til Terra, but most of the walkways and buildings look squishy and myconid in nature, to me at least.
Interesting take on Zidane's blue outfit too! I also didn't even notice that his memories had a blue tint. I just assumed that was flashback haziness.
Thank you!! ❤️ true, I felt like there was a sort of weird organic quality to Terra. And yeah the blue light is his only childhood memory, which is why he couldn't find his home!
It's easy to see you worked hard for this one. Really digging in on those low notes and several complicated passages. I could see you breathing hard by the end of it. Good job.
Thank you so much!!! I really wanted to emulate the richness of the original song I guess ❤️
Hadn't listened to this song in a while, and you pop up in a search... talk about a treasure😊... This, bran bal, and pandemonium are brilliant. Got a new sub 💚
Thank you so much!!!! FFIX is my favorite!!!
Didn't realize you covered this already!! Another one of my favs.❤
FFIX is my fave game of all time. Thank you 💖
Beautiful music - thank you for sharing your masterful harping with the world!
Thank you!!! 💖
Beautiful. Just breathtaking.
Thank you 💖
Hi! I just want to say that I've been listening to this song almost every single day since the first time I heard it a few months ago. I enjoy your Final Fantasy song covers so much. Those games were my entire childhood, and hearing this helps me relive some of my favorite childhood moments in my head. I'm so grateful for your music! 💖🎶🎮
I'm so happy to hear that. Thank you so much for listening 💖 as always, more nostalgic FF tunes to come 🎵
My favorite Final Fantasy of the series. FF9
It reminds me when I was in Secondary School. I would rush home. finish my homework early and have lunch quickly so I can spend hours playing. Haah, good times.
Haha, one of the happiest days of my childhood, I got sick and stayed home from school. I just sat there and played FF9 for literally 14 straight hours. Good times.
I don't believe I could add anything as yet unconsidered by others here, but your rendition of this song moves my older ear to a song I first heard as a teenager. It now strikes me how splitting the familiar, Gaian melody with a couple unusual time-signatures (I think?) and twinkly rhythms is enough to give both Terra, and Gaia an enhanced audial personality.
Thank you so much ❤️ I think the time signatures remain the same, but the rhythm is different. That's why this version sounds eerier than Place to Return to Someday IMO. It just hints at the connection
How do these harp covers not have more views/likes?? They are incredible!
Thank you 😭
sublime.... cette version est magnifique, il suffit de fermer les yeux pour être transcendé
Thank you so much!! 💕
Ok this is my favorite one you've done so far, love your channel!
Yay for FF9 favoritism!!! Thank you!! ❤️
Don't remember hearing this song before, but it's wonderful. Also I get totally mesmerised watching your hands when you play, makes me think I should start playing guitar with my fingers more.
Thanks dude! Was gonna say if you don't play guitar with your fingers what do you use but I guess there are picks hahaha
Super graceful. Wonderful. You're definitely a specialist (Hunter x Hunter reference if you watch anime lol) and very talented.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️ I don't watch much anime these days but I'll take it
Listening this master piece while Seating at over the water Villa in Bora Bora is truly amazing. Performance at its finest level.
I'm so flattered to be your BGM of choice in Bora Bora 💙 have an amazing time!
I was soothed by the sound of a very beautiful harp.
Thank you for the great performance😍
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Finally catching up... you murdered this! Thank you!
Yay!!! Thank you 🥰
Two seconds in, you had me hooked. Excellent work!
Can't take credit for that, that's all the power of Uematsu's composition. Thank you so much for listening 🎶
@@Harpsibored No problem! Looking forward to seeing more of your work. =]
Absolutely grand. Otherworldly even.
The other world awaits you
....OK wrong FF
Thank you 💕
Great Tone your recording has a GREAT mix.
Thank you so much!! 💖
Es hermoso. It's like travelling back in time and hearing this for the first time in 2000 when I was 16.
Omg, this was sooo good!
I knew you were going to kill it! ❤
Thank you!!! 💕 Hehe a FFIX song....no pressure.....
My most favorite in Final Fantasy IX! Evertime i listen to it, its so relaxing. 👍🏼
Thank you for listening 💖 Glad I did your favorite!
Loopy time, and perfect for the IX Remake hype!
Thank you!!! Heh we'll see. Seems Squeenix isn't too eager to release any official news on that
You're saying Squeenix is a tad squeamish about it?
I'll see myself out now...
It sounds like heaven, thank you so much for this
Thank you!!!! 💙
Wow, where have you been all of my life?
In a test chamber in the basement of Bran Bal
Your performance is great!! breathtaking!!
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for this beauty 🥺
Thank you for listening ❤️
That looks like such an impossible instrument, and yet you play it so well! Just discovered your channel. Very inspiring. ❤
Thank you so much!!! 💕 it's easier than it looks haha
@@Harpsibored 🥳🥳😆
Superb! Thanks for putting so much effort ❤

Thanks for making us smile!
Glad to hear 😊
Fantastic as usual
Thank you 💖
This is so amazing. Thank you!
