Final Fantasy IX cover song [must listen]

Để viết được entry này, đầu tiên là cảm ơn chú Seifer đã quăng cho cái link nhạc bên fb, để mình có cơ sở "truy lùng" thêm những bài khác của bạn có nick katethegreat19 Bạn có thể ghé thăm kênh của katethegreat19 trên youtube tại đường link này: katethegreat19's channel

Với giọng ca gây ấn tượng, các ca khúc dưới đây điều được cover lại từ nhạc nền của Final Fantasy IX, phải công nhận rằng, giọng của người thể hiện cực kỳ hay, khá ngọt và điêu luyện. Hơn nữa, ko thể tin rằng các best track chỉ có 1, 2 phút dựa trên bài gốc của Nobou Uematsu lại được cô chọn để làm thành vocal hay đến mức có thể làm bạn phải ngạc nhiên. (à... có lẽ với những ai đã chơi qua FFIX và đã thưởng thức bài gốc thôi )

Là 1 người có học về âm nhạc, những bài hát game, anime hầu hết cô tự phối lại nhạc, tự viết lời và tự hát. Chắc mình phải đăng ký làm 1 vé tham gia làm fan quá dài dòng vậy đủ rồi, mời bà con thưởng thức giọng ca tuyệt đẹp của Kate Covington

Rose of may - lyrics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

her heart underneath
cries quietly
this part of me
I choose not to see

what lives must I take
for fealty's sake?
how much blood must stain
this warrior's blade?

war leaves its trail
in moonlight so pale
its shadows they flow
in rivers, in rivers
so put on my mask
I'll go where they ask
so I might once again see the
Roses of May

Staining my soul and stinging my eyes
the red on my hands
won't wash away, wash away
no where to run from what I have done
I'm no longer, no longer
a Rose of May

fate holds the blade before you
mirrored in maiden's eyes
far from myself I fly
into the perilous skies
and they said
follow the blade before you
fear fall and courage rise
leave all your tears behind you
far from where innocence lies

Cage of the kings
No need for wings
So turn them to stone
from roses to bone

when you look at me
what do you see?
this costume I weave
disfiguring me...

(chorus A)

Storm clouds are creeping closer
danger is drawing near
why am I not protecting all that
I once held dear?
and you said
break free from all that holds you
kings hand and maiden's tear
run now into my arms
together we'll conquer our fears

Led here by fate
No longer afraid
So here now I lay
My Roses of May

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The place I'll return to someday - lyrics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Look into the sky
Can you see the moon across the ocean
Coming close to me
I can hear the melody

Cry into the void
Let my voice become the hand that reaches
Out to you and leads
To my long lost memory

Carry me home
I lost my way on roads ever weaving
Home
Where darkness fades and hearts are ever believing
Carry me home
I close my eyes and cling to you ever dreaming
Find me
Oh don't forget the child for whom you are grieving

Voice that calls from there
And the footsteps of its fallen angels
Now becomes the beat
Of my heart so incomplete

Every night I bathe
In the blue that washes over me
And brings me to my knees
In this longing I believe

Carry me home
I lost my way on roads ever weaving
Home
Where darkness fades and hearts are ever believing
Carry me home
I close my eyes and cling to you ever dreaming
Find me
Oh don't forget the child for whom you are grieving

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are not alone - lyrics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lost in darkest blue
Endless labyrinths weaving though
Will you stagger on,
with no star to light your way?
Share with me your tears
All your troubles and deepest fears
I remember when
you chased all my shadows away

Won't you take my hand?
Come away with me from this land
Let me give to you
all that you have given to me
Fly horizon bound
Find the moon behind darkening clouds
Even far apart,
know our souls together will be

When the storm draws nigh
Dreams will shatter before your eyes
Know that you're not alone
When the battle starts
I will comfort your restless heart
You'll know that you are home

When your stars stop shining
Endless vines around you winding
Know that you're not alone
I will give my all
So your tears will no longer fall
Down, down on sorrow's stone

Look into my eyes
All eternity you will find
In this fragile heart,
know that you will always belong
Shout into the night
Show the darkness that you will fight
Hopeless you may feel,
but inside I know you are strong

Keep me in your heart
So we'll never be far apart
Let the bonds of love
break these chains imprisoning you
Always you will find
Shadows lingering close behind
Lift your spirits now,
We shall be together soon
