Man I was 15 when I first listened to this? Thats half my life away.. I always remember this song the way you play it.. You created a piece of my life with this..
This is just amazing! 23 yrs old here, been playing games all my life, and this is one of those rare songs that really touch my soul. You put so much love into the song. I love this song and I will say it again, you are amazing!
I have looked for a very long time to find a pianist as talented as you to show me the way back to good music. Learning this right away. You are extremely inspiring. Thank you.
Been watching UA-cam for years, but this made me sign up so I could post a comment. Simply brilliant, can't say anything else really. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I know, and you just made it even better. Amazingly played :) thank you.
It never ceases to amaze me when people make tunes like this look so easy to play. I play a bit myself and have noticed that my fingers are in the totally wrong places, I can't seem to get tunes to flow, and I make numerous mistakes. You so have my respect for your playing, you're brilliant!
This is... the most beautiful version of this beautiful melody I have ever heard! I really adore your talent, your music always, and I repeat, ALWAYS touch me deeply, and I really... love it! Keep playing, you're a great inspiration for me and many others out there. You really have talent, thank you so very much for sharing that talent with us!
You may call this theme cliche. But after a decade, it still hits me in a way that nearly no game music has. Beautiful, powerful version. I really think you captured the strength of the melody. Arigato for taking the time on a song that you may have not thought worthwhile as it is played so often.
You're amazing and just greatly, greatly talented! You play piano with such a passion, it's truly a real pleasure listening to your covers. Leaves me speechless!
Final Fantasy 7 has got the best soundtracks of any film/game or whatever. I have played it since I was 10, and it still wipes the floor with all modern games. The depth of the story can never be beaten..
You are my inspiration to learn this song and become a great pianist. I love this song, since it's my favorite piece from Nobuo Uematsu and you made an amazing job. Thanks for your effort, and keep up with the incredible music!
I wasn't and never will be that big on FFVII. But THIS song will always move me regardless of what happened to Aerith in the game anyway, just the song itself stirs you. It's impossible to resist a tear.
Once again. Truly amazing. Your own version is played so well. It isnt losing from the original version, or it is better. I personally like this version a lot more :)) )) Good luck! I want to hear more from you!
Sir….. your interpretation of this song is absolutely incredible. Your delicacy juxtaposed with the booming moments makes for such a compelling and emotional experience, it’s truly amazing. I have to tell you, I had this version saved on my phone for years and somehow they messed up when transferring my files to the new phone. So I lost the song. Here I am months later and really wanting to listen to it but couldn’t be satisfied by any of the other renditions. I’ve been deep in the hole here trying to find this, clicking every single one.. nope, nope. And then ahhh yes. THIS is how this song is meant to be played. Bravo, and thank you for your incredible artistry. Ps. Do the world a favor and re-record this with a proper set up in a proper room and put it on Spotify. We’d all love that
@fthoughts I get chills from music but I've never shed a tear over one, a lot of people cry over this song because they were sad Aeris died, and when we hear this song our body remembers how we felt when we heard this song years ago, for example you can remember things better when you're mad and in the memory you're trying to remember you were also mad in it. Our brain is a pretty cool thing.
wow you made me cry man, you are truly awesome, to my taste, you are the one of the best piano player on youtube, i love how much feeling you put into the songs, i have seen so many people playing this songs and another pieces of FF but it seems like they do not connect with the music, that's just my opinin, thank you for playing and posting this for us, i would buy your album if you had one man, you are awesome thank u
I want to live with someone who can play the Piano so beautifully. I would never complain about them playing. They could play at 3am in the morning and I would be perfectly content.
Amazing. I once tried to play a very, very basic version of this in music class, when I was in school. I think I'd have graduated through several years of College/Uni, if I had played it like you do. Top notch and kudos.
whenever i hear this aerith's theme, all the story of the final fantasy VII reminds me that really made me stock in their world and in my imagination..
beautiful version of Aerith's theme kyle. absolutely relaxing and just plain amazing. Aerith was such an awesome character. she was so sweet and naive, and maybe just a little childish. but she was still awesome. second in my favorite game characters list (the first being Zack!)
You're amazing!! This theme is actually the entire reason i started learning to play the piano and you just made it so much better! Now all i need to do is learn to read sheet music and stop playing from memory and i'm set ;D haha
Wow I was just listening to some concert versions of this last night and then searching thru your vids if I could find it! I wished to hear you play it with an orchestra, but who needs it anyway coz you sound like a whole orchestra already :) Beautiful Kyle!
This man has God given talent. I hope God blesses you and I do not care what people think of my comment. That is a great talent. I know two people who can play that well. My pastor's wife that plays at the church I use to go too and my grandmother. She plays very well too.
God, what a beautiful melody expertly played. This brings back so many memories. Final Fantasy 7, Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core were the only Final Fantasy games I cared to finish... and then Advent Children was just awesome... what a great story. I wish they would do a PS3 remake of the original FFVII with no story changes, just killer graphics. Even if it costed 100+ dollars I would still buy it without hesitation. Imagine a remake covering Crisis Core through Advent/Dirge though.
Cliche is just a sappy way of saying Classic. One of the greatest video game songs of all time, let alone Final Fantasy. As usual, your piano is godly. I want it.
SO WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFULLY AWSOMELY TERRIFICALLY GREAT SONG I LOVE IT. Somewhat the really good songs and stuff on piano (piano scores) on the internet are hard for me to find.I got Aerith's theme, VII main theme, Tifa's theme,1000 words,Eternity memories of lightwaves, to Zenarkand, And FF VII Collections with 10+ songs... NONE SOUND AS GOOD AS THIS. The dynamics are awsomeley done. Nise fingering, etc!
Man I was 15 when I first listened to this? Thats half my life away.. I always remember this song the way you play it.. You created a piece of my life with this..
It's been seventeen years since I first played FF7 and this song still gets to me.
I'm forty-four now and I still get choked up. Great Job Kyle.
Sheet Music now available :) www.musicnotes.com/l/hhzP8
This is just amazing! 23 yrs old here, been playing games all my life, and this is one of those rare songs that really touch my soul. You put so much love into the song. I love this song and I will say it again, you are amazing!
Your skills at the piano combined with the your attentiveness to the songs from the best video game of all time brings one word to mind...phenomenal.
I have looked for a very long time to find a pianist as talented as you to show me the way back to good music. Learning this right away. You are extremely inspiring. Thank you.
one of the most beautiful things i experienced in my 25 years of life. thanks kyle for playing this song so great.
They should use this version in the remake.
Been watching UA-cam for years, but this made me sign up so I could post a comment.
Simply brilliant, can't say anything else really. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I know, and you just made it even better. Amazingly played :) thank you.

This brought tears to my eyes and a smile on my face, this is pure art.
Beautiful piano cover to one of the most beloved characters in the Final Fantasy series.
Since 2008 I find myself coming back to this, this is the best cover out there.
This is... the most beautiful version of this beautiful melody I have ever heard! I really adore your talent, your music always, and I repeat, ALWAYS touch me deeply, and I really... love it!
Keep playing, you're a great inspiration for me and many others out there. You really have talent, thank you so very much for sharing that talent with us!
Absolutely speechless! Most powerful and emotional rendition ever!
wow. you have really captured the essence of the song with your interpretation. it sounds beautiful.
You may call this theme cliche. But after a decade, it still hits me in a way that nearly no game music has. Beautiful, powerful version. I really think you captured the strength of the melody. Arigato for taking the time on a song that you may have not thought worthwhile as it is played so often.
This is the only time music all by itself has made me shed actual tears.
You're amazing and just greatly, greatly talented! You play piano with such a passion, it's truly a real pleasure listening to your covers. Leaves me speechless!
Omg this is SO beautiful. It made my eyes tear again. And gave me goosebumps again. You're the best piano player in the whole world!
As melhores lembranças da minha adolescência estão resumidas em todos os seus videos referente ao FF7 , Obrigado por me fazer relembrar.
Final Fantasy 7 has got the best soundtracks of any film/game or whatever. I have played it since I was 10, and it still wipes the floor with all modern games. The depth of the story can never be beaten..
One of the most underated themes... this is SO AWESOME!!
Easily the BEST arrangement out there! Buying this right now.
i havent played the piano in over four years, but watching kyle motivates me to learn to play it again. So, thankyou kyle!^^
You are my inspiration to learn this song and become a great pianist. I love this song, since it's my favorite piece from Nobuo Uematsu and you made an amazing job. Thanks for your effort, and keep up with the incredible music!
Very amazing cover, i notice that you've add a lot of things to the original sheet making the song even better, compliments, really
Man, this is good to the point where I can't believe it's an improvisation. So sick!
I wasn't and never will be that big on FFVII. But THIS song will always move me regardless of what happened to Aerith in the game anyway, just the song itself stirs you. It's impossible to resist a tear.
2023 and still hear this amazing cover.
Best version of Aerith's Theme ever!! I was about to cry.
Once again. Truly amazing. Your own version is played so well. It isnt losing from the original version, or it is better. I personally like this version a lot more :)) ))
Good luck! I want to hear more from you!
Wonderful from the beginning to the end
This is the best piano cover i ever seen in my life. Thank you!!!
beautiful, one of the best version of the song that i've heard so far
Sir….. your interpretation of this song is absolutely incredible. Your delicacy juxtaposed with the booming moments makes for such a compelling and emotional experience, it’s truly amazing.

All your videos really make me cry so it's beautiful ! You just have wonderful skills !
This is the third video of you performing that I watch and I gotta say that you are pretty talented! Continue your good work!
how is it that 14 years later this still makes me cry? I'm a grown man.
thats a beautiful rendition you added your own flair and it is beautiful
This is the best version I've heard of this song and if anyone wants to say otherwise then they can play it themselves and see if they do better.
You melt my heart with your playing.
you are by far my favorite pianist on youtube
I like what you bring to the piece...your own personal touch
enjoy ?!
Wow yes !! best version ive heard up until now
Just found this cover on a FFVII cover album on Spotify!
Love your playing, Mr. Landry. Keep it up!
@fthoughts I get chills from music but I've never shed a tear over one, a lot of people cry over this song because they were sad Aeris died, and when we hear this song our body remembers how we felt when we heard this song years ago, for example you can remember things better when you're mad and in the memory you're trying to remember you were also mad in it.

Why do I always get goosebumps when I hear this theme.

OMG this is the first time I listened all the way through. This guy is Crazy Good..
I want to live with someone who can play the Piano so beautifully. I would never complain about them playing. They could play at 3am in the morning and I would be perfectly content.

God I love this song! Great job Kyle, I love your playing!
