Eyyyyyy !! Happy new year everyone!
I know we're already a goooooood month into 2023 but I still wish you all the greatest and the best for this year !
Lots of luck, health and prosperity for you all and your close ones !

Back in 2020, in the mids of the Covid crisis, lockdowns and all the stress that comes with it, I think the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake was a bit like a light on the other side of the tunnel to me.
It was the game that allowed me and my gf to taste a glimps of freedom, exploring Midgard and its slums, and meeting wonderful characters (Aerith FTW !!!!!).
It was the experience that brought me happiness and excitement at the time I needed it the most, and it has not left me unchanged !! (Btw I'm waiting for the 2nd part like crazyyyy)

About a year and half later, on a very last minute thought, I managed to book tickets for the Final Fantasy VII Remake Orchestral Tour in Paris (December 9th 2020, precisely).
I remember the very first notes of the concert were the harp arpeggios from the title screen and my gf instantly teared up. That was such a big moment !!
The concert was pure ear candy, conducted by Arnie Roth, who's been conducting Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy orchestra concerts for yeaaaars now !
And suddenly, this song happened. Hollow, orchestral version. Speechless.
So ... I'd like to give credits to whom it belongs to. This orchestral arrange was heavily inspired by the live performance I heard that day.

This (re?)arrange was made with two of my best and trusted music friends and Final Fantasy fans Marc Papeghin, on the Horns and Trumpets, and Pernelle on who helped me on the Choirs and Flutes.
Please give them the warm welcome they deserve !
We all put all our heart and love for Final Fantasy in this song.

Lastly, this song is meant to be listened to, with your eyes closed. This is also why the video is very minimalistic.
Get a nice spot to sit, and let yourself get lost in the sound.
I hope you're all in a comfortable setup and wish you a great listening !
