FF8 will always be my favourite. Lately I can't stop listening to Eyes on Me. Is anyone here in contact with Faye Wong? I want her to sing it at my wedding one day.

Faye Wong is one of the #1 super stars of Chinese music. That'd be like asking Adele to sing at your wedding.

Don't blame ya though. Let me know if you pull it off. (And send an invite too, please ;) )

Yeah, Eyes on Me is one of my favorites as well. I got to attend a live performance of it sung by Susan Calloway at the Distant Worlds 25th Anniversary of Final Fantasy concert last Friday. It was simply amazing.

Edit: Here's a link to the performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIrwnwJbFy8&list=FL1Ek_bkrHSNhwS96nTVlX5Q&index=5

Yeah better off just using a recording, but in case you're a prince from Qatar or something trying to outdo Janet Jackson's upcoming 10mil nuptials... you'd have to go through her agent and hope she's not in the middle of a tour.

Haha, not a prince from Qatar, although that would be nice! And of course I will invite everyone from here when it happens!

Take away Faye Wong and the song loses some of its charm.

eyes on me is emotional as fuck.

the lyrics are simple enough, but faye wong just puts that "it factor" into it and makes it unforgettable.

If anyone is curious about what she sounds like in her native language, my friends showed me the song Hong Dou (Red Bean) a while back. I don't listen to much Chinese music, but this one is one of the best ballads I've ever heard:

For such a slow ballady song... Eyes on Me is ridiculously catchy. I find myself humming it randomly without any provocation.

I kind of prefer Melodies of Life over Eyes on Me. But there's no denying that Eyes on Me is a beautiful song.

I saw you smiling at me... was it real or just my fantasy?

I think that one got past the proofreader. Translator probably showed frown when he realized it.

Sweet, I had a few FFS(O)ers at my wedding and one was a bridesmaid!

Eyes on Me boasts of one of the most beautiful melodies I've heard in any song. It's... monumental...
