Since this was my first Final Fantasy, this song is the first Final Fantasy song I ever heard. It has been an incredible journey and this will always remain one of my favorites.
You should check out Nobuo Uematsu's band - "The Black Mages". While not piano, it's his metal/rock versions of his songs, and his version of "The Skies Above" is not to be missed. Also, "Dancing Mad" (Final Fantasy 6; Kefka battle) is not to be missed, either...
Nailed it! Superb top notch performance on this track, Kara! The timing for the notes and pitch are spot on. Thank you for uploading this cover many years back!
Oof, hits you right in the feels. You have this natural knack to squeeze out every drop of emotion in your playing. I am so glad I decided to click on one of your videos all those weeks ago, since it opened my ears to beautiful music and my heart to a new community of wonderful people!
This is literally the only song that makes me cry every, single, time. The piece conveys the sadeness of what Yuna must shortly do, yet the hope she brings and the determination of her will that carries not only herself, but her guardians as well. Nobuo captured the moment absolutely perfectly in song to the point where no dialogue is even needed and it shows by how little there is in the Zanarkand scene.
I just was looking back to what led me to find you and it was this video because i was listening to every version of this song when i was in the mood to just cry, then it led me to all your other music and being part of this amazing community like I am today. This video will always be very special to me 💯♥️
This one hit's me hard, back then i convinced my brother to play. We were living in different cities, he used to pass by so i could help him with the sphere grid. Next month will be 11 years since he passed away and this song bring a lot of fond memories.
Absolutely the best interpretation I’ve ever heard, perfect tempo and loudness to catch the emotion. I just started learning piano 6 months ago. this really showed how dramatic the difference is with expert vs beginner. I’ve spent 200+ hours just practicing this piece and I can play it pretty good but nowhere near as smooth as you.
Now here's a game that I've poured DAYS of my life into. The sweet narrative between Tidus and Yuna that grows over time is a masterpiece of story telling. Your playing really sells the tragic sadness that goes along with this song. Well played ma'am, very moving.
Aw thank you for this! I have had a few people comment that it brought tears, so it must truly be a sad story. I wish I knew it better myself. Maybe at some point I'll get a chance to play the game! Thank you again, you're so kind!!
Only days? This game posessed my life at one point... replayed it and finished dozens of times and it still captivates me everytime I replay it.. everytime I hear this, I get chillz
@@KaraComparetto How did you manage to play this theme so perfectly in tune with the spirit of the game without having played it?! That is seriously impressive!
"This arrangement is very pretty, although my personal opinion is that there could be more to it." Sometimes less is more. The pauses and quietness really help to convey the emotions of the scene. You did it justice.
So many times Nobuo Uematsu plays with the quiet amongst the flurry. This is what makes his songs stand the test of time. Yes, you could blast through with powerful cords time and again, but when you pause to feel the emotion you really feel what is going on and feel the power of a well-built song.
I love the way you go into the main bit at 1:07 without a pause. So many renditions put a little break there as if to try and show emotion but all they end up doing is losing the momentum from the arpeggio. It's so satisfying to hear you drop straight into it without stopping.
How do I like this again? Expertly played. Most people play this in a an ethereal way, but the song is meant to be a crescendo of hopelessness. The perfect song to encapsulate someone struggling with finding a way to save the person they love.
Awesome version of this track! It's one of my favorites from Final Fantasy X, and any Final Fantasy. Listened to this just now during the middle of a lightning storm. The flashes and thunder really added to the emotional depth of the piece.
This is such a beautiful piece and you play it so well. I recently found this channel and I am in awe of your talent. This song though... it just hits differently! I had never played this game until about a year ago and it just resonated with me, like a comforting song I knew from the past. It hits even harder once you as the player in the game come full circle back to Zanarkand. You do it such justice. Thank you for what you give us all with your amazing gifts!
@@KaraComparetto I've always been a self-taught metal drummer and I'm teaching myself guitar, bass, and (eventually) piano. It's true artists like you that inspire others to pick up an instrument and go for it. What you are doing for the music and video game community cannot be put into words. All I can say is thank you!
The moment you played the first notes I felt chills !!! What a great impression. It is so similar that when the time was right I thought: "Listen to my story, this...may be our last chance" ....😊😊. Congratulations.
I don't understand why I haven't stumbled across you sooner, I've been searching through tons of video game music piano transcriptions but only found you today yet you are probably the best of the bunch! Phenomenal skill, interpretation, sensitivity, filming, editing, recording- the whole thing is perfect!
thank you so much for this comment you sent so long ago! I'm sorry for not replying but I just saw it pop up and I hadn't responded. I hope you're still sticking around, and thank you again!
All of the other attempts at this that I've seen before dont even come close to this. This is one of my favorite pieces and you really do it justice. Thank you so much.
Kara, I've been subbed for a fair amount of time but I always find myself coming back to this and Terra's Theme. You're playing inspired me to take up piano a year or so ago. This one is next. Thank you for making a grown man feel so many things.
FFX was awesome! Great story, great characters (although voice acting in the english version is quite terrible), and the music is great (or course, Nobuo Uematsu wrote it!)
Wonderful work! This is the song I'm trying to learn to play as I figure out the piano, it's such an incredible piece, and you do it more than justice.
took me several months starting from scratch practicing ~12 hours a week but I can play it! nowhere near as good Kara ua-cam.com/video/JjqriqWBfbQ/v-deo.html
Wow! Beautiful music played by a beautiful lady. I don't mind the background noise at all, ambient noise makes the sound more realistic. The best part of music is the texture of the sound, from the keys hitting the strings to the pedals hitting the floor, all adds to those subtle details that I like so much in live music. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Who knew I'd be complimented on the background noise? lol. I love that feeling though, of being there live, with a palpable sound. That's why it's nice having my piano in a small room. It makes the tone quality more intimate and real. Thank you again so much!
Very well done. You did an amazing job to play true to the original and yet personalized in a way that makes it your own. I liked the choices you made and the commitment to total with such expression in the details.
Recently had skies above stuck in my head so while listening to it again I figured I'd see if you had covered 'To Zanarkand' and noticed in your description "although my personal opinion is that there could be more to it" if you haven't (I'm sure you have) you should listen to skies above from the black mages. I think it's really one of the best of Nobuo's compositions once expanded.
This arrangement is one of the best songs ever to exist for a Final Fantasy, and it fits the environment of the game perfectly, especially the atmosphere of the events in which this plays! Thank you for this one so very much Kara! This is perfect!! This is one of the few songs on a Final Fantasy that (nearly) brought a tear out off my eye! You should totally one day play the Dancing Mad masterpiece from Final Fantasy VI! (Though repetitive in some parts I think it would be a challenge since it is composed of four totally different movements) I wish I could have you teach me piano one day..! How lucky those who learn from you!
I love reading the enthusiasm from all of you! Means a lot to me and encourages me to keep playing. I have played Dancing Mad casually but would love to play it as a piano/organ arrangement which I'm considering working on this summer :)
This is better than the the recording of the original, and I really mean that. I don't know exactly what about it makes it so good - the way you came at this one just seems to make more tonal sense.
Arrgh, the feels 😞 The feeling you put into this cover 👌 This game reminds me of my childhood days. Your cover is bringing back the journey of this game. How dare you make a grown ass (mid 20s) man well up like this 😢
Oh thank you! I would prefer this arrangement had a little more spice, but I did want to cover the original piano collections version, so here it is! :D
This is my new fav piece from your FF series. I like to look at your fingers playing this, they are delicate like feathers but also strong. And the last seconds, when your hand says bye to the keys, I love it:)
Thank you Martin, that means a lot, I can't believe this one is your favorite! I had to retry this one several times because of the delicacy of the piece. It really is a beautiful melody.
I've literally just been on an hour+ long binge of your piano covers and I just need to stop and leave a comment. How you manage to bring such depth and complexity within each of your covers never ceases to amaze me. It is criminal how little exposure you have on UA-cam. Definitely going to be following your future releases. If you're taking requests, I would LOVE it if you could do a cover of Anxious Hearts from FFVII. There are surprisingly few covers of this on UA-cam and I'm not sure why.
I'm starting to work on writing my own arrangements of many of the themes from Final Fantasy VII, I'm involved in a project to release my arrangements on a vinyl record album! I'm currently working on Cid's theme, which I also noticed doesn't have many covers (good ones) on UA-cam either. I'm also working on getting my music onto Spotify and other places like that- I hope this will help me reach bigger audiences!
Kara Comparetto wow I cannot wait to see what you have in store for the future! Will definitely be keeping a close eye on updates on this channel. I hope that Spotify will get you the exposure you truly deserve.
Excellent rendition. Thank you for sharing. The quiet and simplicity of much of the piece is what makes the stronger portions so powerful, imo. And simple isn't necessarily worse. Beethoven's "Tempest" and other compositions of its ilk are infinitely more difficult to play, but they can be an amorphous orgy of notes without soul or melody--a technical exhibition, nothing more.
you have some of the best wrist motion I have ever seen. Perfect balance and fingering when playing! I love that you stayed true to the original tempo :) well done , i'm a new fan of yours :3
Kara Comparetto I haven’t played and years but thankfully still know how to read. I’ve been wanting to get back into it lately. Downloaded some soundtrack songs. Any tips for inspiration and motivation ?
you look like a doll, I'm learning this piece as a beginner is kind of hard at first but I'm making huge progress, I like how you move your hands they are like ballet dancers on a piano. I probably look like a robot playing maybe I should try to do something like that
Thank you Sergio :) I have been playing the piano for as long as I remember. While Final Fantasy music is new to me (within the past year) I have had extensive training, and I have much to thank my teachers and my family for motivating me to continue! Just keep playing every day and those robots will turn into dancers :) 💃
ideally in classical performance your hands should be rather robotic. check out vladimir horowitz' hands when he plays. extremely precise movement, but incredibly evocative sound
OMG I love your rendition of the song again! I understand you feel like there could be more to it... it's just a very melancholic song for the story, that's why it's so calm and kinda sad. It had a participation in the Ending Theme for FFX, if you want to listen to the song and see how it is. It feels way more hopeful and powerful with the Orchestra.
Una gran canción con una gran pianista. Vas a llegar muy lejos. Muchas Felicidades y no te detengas; solo el que se detiene en el camino es el que nunca más se levanta para volver a sonreir.
Been on youtube since the beginning, always a lurker never made a comment but i just had to. Amazing stuff, i love Nobuo and this this fantastic, i couldn't resist the urge to say something, simply amazing
I love having your piano renditions. Especially for some that are hard to find actual piano playing (many uploaded are digitally created). I would love to hear you go all out with your own interpretation of this piece. :)

The EMOTION in this rendition is perfect. There is doom and tragedy and sadness... but hope, and life, and love. Perfect.

You captured the spirit of the original piece perfectly - beautiful!
Every time i hear this beautiful masterpiece...
brings tears to my eyes. Thank You so much
Indeed, this piece is a masterpiece!
That means a lot to me to hear you say that Luis. When I can give someone nostalgic tears, I feel like I've accomplished something ^^
You're so right David! I find myself sometimes singing the melody while just going about my day.
Yeah 40 year old Italian restaurant owner. And this killed me too

I am crying…I have heard more than 100 people playing this but I have to admit that Kara performed the best !
awwww

Oh my god... Make me remember at the first time listen this music, 17 years a go
Awesome version of this track! It's one of my favorites from Final Fantasy X, and any Final Fantasy.
Listened to this just now during the middle of a lightning storm. The flashes and thunder really added to the emotional depth of the piece.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your passion with us, you made me cry! 🙇♂️
awwww!!
ahh the nostalgia. What a trip down to the memory lane. Thank you for the trip Kara ;)
To Zanarkland is my favorite music piece of all time! I love this so much! Your such a great pianist !
This is the best cover of the song out there
Thank you, that's a huge compliment!! :)
Lovely. I love the melancholic undertones of the song and FFX as a whole. Awesome rendition!
Thank you!! I'm happy you watched this one, I haven't received any comments on it in a while, so it was nice to come back to it. Thank you again!
Makes me tear up to this day, seems like a whole nother life ago
A moving rendition of one of the most moving songs from Final Fantasy. Top marks for making me relive what I felt when I first played FFX! 👏👏👏👏

You have to play it

Una gran canción con una gran pianista. Vas a llegar muy lejos. Muchas Felicidades y no te detengas; solo el que se detiene en el camino es el que nunca más se levanta para volver a sonreir.

Great job Kara, amazing.
I love having your piano renditions. Especially for some that are hard to find actual piano playing (many uploaded are digitally created). I would love to hear you go all out with your own interpretation of this piece. :)
