Forever Rachel (fan lyrics), flute/voice cover - Final Fantasy VI

This is a first! I've literally never written lyrics before in my life, so please be kind. But I thought it might be fun to try it, and what better song to start with than my favorite VGM theme of all time? It was also a good excuse to pull out my Locke costume from last year's Halloween. Yes, I have a favorite character!

Channeling all that melodrama and angst ♥♥ Such tragedy! Such loss! ♥♥

I know I promised Suikoden, and there /is/ Suikoden on the way, along with other goodies, but I'm waiting on some collaborators for those. In the meantime, here is a song that comes straight from my heart.

Flute is me. Voice is me. (Yes, even the bass choir vocals — all me, and unaltered!) I actually made a MIDI track for the harp, which I've never done before, but I wanted to focus my time on other things and the MIDI sounds better than my piano playing would have.

** Lyrics **
Death cannot break
What once so strongly bound us
And through this pain
Nothing's changed.
Though you are gone now,
Our love remains.

Once, we were young
The world, it smiled upon us
And we were free
So it seemed
To be together
Eternally.

Here in my heart
Your soul will live forever.
Know that I will love you still.

[instrumental]

Ah, now I know
That life is ever fleeting.
Must I move on?
Is love gone?
Or is it right here
Where I belong?

Now I must go
But you'll be always with me.
You left your mark,
Touched my heart
Because I knew you,
Though we may part.

Rest now, my love
Though you at last are sleeping
I will always dream of you.

** Say hi online! **
Come say hi to me! I love to keep in touch with fans and friends. :)
