FF8 Blue Fields (World Map Theme) - early viewing
🕑 Added 2025-03-28 09:18:49 +0000 UTCHi there!
I recently started playing some older PS1 titles from my youth. I always loved the Final Fantasy series because of the setting, story and masterful music by Nobuo Uematsu. While playing FF8 and got out of "Balamb Garden" I got very emotional because of this song. I don't know, it just flowed perfectly with the way I was feeling. The mix of melancholy, nostalgia and some kind of "quiet before the storm". The first thing I did was grabbed my guitar and started transcribing it. The main part of the acoustic guitar is very cool and weird to play. After the first few notes I already knew that I must cover this one, because it fits the vibe perfectly. I remember spending hours as a kid playing games without a care in the world. This song takes me back to those days.
I made the video with clips from our trip to Skrzyczne mountain with Mrokat last year (she even has a little cameo here, hehe). This trip was very important to me, because it was just after I quit Czerwone Gitary and felt very overworked and beaten up. I remember that even driving to Sczyrk was a big venture for me after years of touring. I almost got a panic attack after pressing the gas pedal. Mrokat helped me a lot with fighting the anxiety and stress. Walking through the mountains together was a very peaceful experience. I didn't want to put too much shots from the mountains because it's ultimately a guitar cover, but still - this tape means a lot to me. The funniest thing is that the last day of this trip was the day that Enter Sandman started getting viral on Instagram and when I came back home, I pretty much came back to a new life. So as you can see, life can be very random at times...
Cheers!

Hi! Thank you! Sure, use it! I'm encouraging you to do it! I've got it on my bucket list since the game came out. I've got it ready on my emulator :D.

The memories! Amazing arrangement as always. Question; is it ok if I use your arrangement for "Blue" in a street performance? Did you ever play Chrono Trigger? You've got me wondering what a Retro Poland version of this classic would sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUFELL5hHbg
