music in video games
i have decided that i really miss having my piano around. i have been inspired again by video game music to continue learning how to play. unfortunately i won't be able to pick it back up until we get to Germany and that's only if our stuff doesn't fall into the ocean on its way there! what sparked my recent longing was one of the guys in James class told me about a website that has all kinds of video game music that people, some really talented, have redone in some form or fashion, either with all piano or some piano and guitar and other instruments, etc. anyways some of it is really really awesome and whether you play video games or not you should check this site out and listen to some of the Final Fantasy music. i'll put up some of the songs that i really like for you to check out. to get to the website go here once there click on the search button. on the new page that comes up there should be three boxes you can type in one labeled songs, one forum post and the last users, pay no attention to those. above the songs box there are five links one of the is Game, click on that link. the next page is a list of games, scroll down until you get to F then you'll see a ton of Final Fantasy links, click on any of them (i usually click on Final Fantasy 6). this will bring you to yet another page with a long list of songs and the artists. now if you want or have the time to you can scroll through these songs and find the ones i'm about to list and give them a listen or not, obviously that's your choice. however you'll be missing out on some really cool music. I believe the songs are listed by artist then title then what game they are from and i'll try to do the same so hopefully that will help you. okay here are some of my favorites -- clay-prelude for piano (final fantasy 6), cronomatic-Terra~Pseudo-Live Mix (final fantasy 6), trickwaters-Final Fantasy Prelude for Two Pianos (final fantasy series), Eric Barker-Freya: Burmecian Spirit (solo piano) (Final Fantasy 9), goat-The Sky Was Never A Limit (final fantasy 4), and Ashaman-Carol of the Final Fantasy Belles (Final fantasy 10, Final fantasy 5, Final fantasy 6, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Parasite Eve). thats good for now and if you find you like those i've got some more that are pretty good but those are my most favs! also the last one, Carol of the Final Fantasy Belles is a really cool mix of the Christmas song Carol of the Belles (i think thats the name of it) and Final Fantasy music so you may recognize some of it. anyways enjoy!

Hooray for spam!!
Anyway, there's a very talented pianist who does remakes of video game stuff here. His stuff is really good, especially the Mario Bros stuff. The vids aren't too shabby either. :-)
I know, it was so nice of mr/ms anonymous to spam me. I haven't been able to figure out how to delete that post so yeah.
Yeah that guy is amazing! I didn't realize he had his own website though. Thanks for the link!
I forgot to tell you J, you'd probably like the song I listed by goat (the sky was never a limit). it's cool 'cause it starts off kinda slow then just builds and builds, good stuff. :)
Yeah, so jared beat me to the comment I was going to postbut it was probably better coming from him anyway, since he is the one who showed me that dude.
ok, can I just say, I am so incredibly jealous you will be living in Europe for several YEARS. do you know how cheap and easy it is to get between countries!!? although, i don't envy you living with european showers for two years, (evil laugh).
and, there is some way to require a verification step for all comments to cut down on spam
YAY for verification steps! it seems i haven't fully investigated my blog options....
i'm mostly excited about germany. it will be nice to get to see the rest of europe as well but it comes with a downside. james will more than likely be sent off to iraq or afghanistan while we are in germany for God only knows how long, not excited about that. =(
They make some good beers there in Germany, and some fantastic beers in Belgium...
you should definitly visit us 'cause I hear the food and drinks are good all across Europe, esp. in Germany and Italy. I'm gonna be so fat when we get back from there!
