Distant Worlds

[yeerk]

I'm officially on vacation. Have been since Thursday, actually. Thursday, Shane and I went with our friends Jane and Christie to Nebraska to see a Final Fantasy concert. Christie is in the picture above with me. It was as I put on Twitter, "Oh my God, where did my balls go?" cold in Nebraska, but the concert was amazing. It was Nobuo Uematsu's birthday, so we got to sing Happy Birthday to him, and the orchestra played Uematsu's favorite Final Fantasy song, Unrequited Love from Final Fantasy IX, for the first time live for us. I just have no words.

They of course played my favorite song, too. Some of you who know me probably know what it is, but I want to have some fun with this. In my next ten entries, I am going to do a countdown of my absolute favorite Final Fantasy pieces. I'll let you know what my favorite piece is last.

So, without further adieu, Number 10 is:


Opera "Maria and Draco" from Final Fantasy VI.

This is Distant World's version, since it's similar to what I heard Thursday night. A heads up - This song is long and epic, but it's ridiculously good. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.
