  • Current Mood: contemplative
  • Current Music: silence and motion - ff8 piano collection

epiphany

the ending of kingdom hearts has beautiful music. not the animation ending, though that's good too, but the credits.

does it not sound eerily like "the oath" from final fantasy viii?

i was just listening to my ff8 piano collection and that song came on. it then occurred to me that it sounded familiar, not just the tune, but the dramatic piano version of it.

then i placed it as that: in kingdom hearts.

am i crazy, or is that really it?

p.s. and may i add that if you ever want good sleepy time music or just beautiful piano, the ff8 collection is amazing. truly.

The FF8 love song is an actual musical piece. I don't think Square Soft made it up, they just used the sound track in their game, like movies do. So it makes sense that you have heard it before.

I think it's called "Eyes on Me."

It's the same with "Simple and Clean" from Kingdom Hearts, and the song that was playing when Yuna and Tidus were
K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

the thing is, nobuo uematsu composes the soundtracks for most of the squaresoft games. he wrote "eyes on me" and the song that i was referring to, "the oath".

however, for kingdom hearts they used a different composer. i can't remember the name, but it's the same person that wrote the soundtrack for the mario rpg. it just struck me as peculiar that two pieces, both from squaresoft games but with different composers, could sound so similar.

my real question is if the likeness was intentional on the company's part, or if it's all coincidental. or if they're not really alike and i'm just crazy. O.o;;;

I loved Chicago! Saw it with Mom, it was so much fun. But I'm rooting for Nicole Kidman to get the Oscar, just so Tom Cruise can be known as Mr. ex-Nicole Kidman. Oh, and she's a very good actress, too.

i do love nicole kidman (moulin rouge - w00t!), but chicago was just too good. the whole puppet number was enough to make me root for it.

but if zellweger must not get an oscar, here's hoping that john c. reilly does! *^_^*

Well, since I only saw "Road to Pardition" (Paul Newman) and "Chicago" (Reilly, of course) I don't have enough info to disagree. He did good in Chicago, and was for sure the most likable character. I think he did more acting in Chicago than Zellweger and CZJ and Queen Latifa did combined. Not to say the ladies didn't act, but it seemed to me like I was watching an incredible performance, not and incredible moment of break-though acting. That make sense, or is it insane troll logic?

Despite that,I still want CJZ to win, 'cause she's my girlcrush. Yay, shallowness! Back off, Julianne!

And if I hear once more how much of a cow Zelleger felt when she gained the 20 pounds for Bridget Jones's Diary, I am going to scream!
