Disclaimer: Square owns FFIX tunes, but I hold the harvest of my lyrics (reviews, not money; reviiiieeeewwwsss..)!!
A/N: Reviewer thanks will be posted at the bottom from now on, so the song is still the main component of the page. Thank you for wondering..
OH! And before I forget, here's a link to the midi for these lyrics..
http://www.geocities.com/ne14drawing/ff9midis.html (it may not be up yet, but soon...)
It contains Protecting My Devotion and Loss of Me / Rose of May
The difference? The first one, the theme that plays while Beatrix and Steiner run around Alexandria and slay monsters, is orchestrated, and may not work too well.. ::sweatdrops:: the last one is done on the piano, a Beatrix solo-type, and is almost totally 100% GUARANTEED to work! That is.. if you have Windows Media Player or Quicktime .. or some other MIDI player. I dunno. Sorry 'bout the confusion..
::GASPS FOR AIR:: ALRIGHT!! And here's to GG Crono 4, for being the first reviewer to request a song! I really hope you like it, GGC4 (har har, don'tcha love the abbreviation).. and all my other readers, as well. And here's (an especially long)...
Protecting My Devotion / Loss of Me / Rose of May
(who thinks up all these NAMES?!.. a-hem..)
(intro plays)
Heartstrings are bound
A window is bared
I fell to the ground
You picked up the pieces there
Singing a song
To be blown away
To the accursed flower we call Rose of May
Mightiest souls
The words that we use
For bearers of all
That lost all they had to lose
Telling a tale
Through eyes that can't see
And yet you are still feeling for my Loss of Me
(chorus 1)
Standing behind your wall
A thought's peace I can't undo
When will I be the one
To think... and protect you?
(chorus 2)
Arms spread before that wall
As wide as the sad ocean
Now I can say at last
I'm Protecting My Devotion!
(Only in Protecting My Devotion)
Loyalty looms
Like grass on the plain
Where hearts that have bloomed
For riches have been in vain
Fighting the mass
That goes for the gold
Is the one whom I cherish; my legend of old
(end of exclusive verse)
(short interlude in Protecting my Devotion)
Horror that comes
Is horror that stays
This fate steers our young
And plows only earth's own grave
Starting a void
That burns up life's sea
In death, now is the final - the one Loss of Me
Watching the land
Pass life with a sigh
And knowing that we
Were born so that we would die
Planting a seed
The one thing that stays
And turns the last rock before it brings Rose of May
(chorus 1)
Standing behind your wall
A thought's peace I can't undo
When will I be the one
To think... and protect you?
(chorus 2)
Arms spread before that wall
As wide as the sad ocean
Now I can say the last
I'm Protecting My Devotion!
A/N2: PLEASE REVIEW NOW THAT YOU'VE READ!! I hate to scream it, but if you enjoyed, won't you give back a minute for my, what, HOUR?!?!?!?? Ok, maybe not that long... maybe longer! J/k, I really have no idea; I get too caught up. You understand, though, right? Also,
I ACKNOWLEDGE ALL WHO REVIEW!! THANK YOU!!
Reviewer thanks:
Quistis88 First, of course, for being the first to review! Also, for returning to read ANOTHER one of my lyric-things. And last, but certainly not least, FOR BEING A TOP RATE POET HERSELF (right now I'm hoping Quistus88 is, in fact, a 'her'.. if not, SORRY!! but I would assume.. never mind)! Read her lyrics to FF9 songs if you haven't already! Poets are awesome, and you know it!!
GG Crono 4 Awesome. ::nods triumphantly:: You make me feel like my work may actually be WANTED .. if you can call it work: it's so fun writing for you guys! BTW Eternal Harvest is the song that plays while Freya and the Cleyrans are dancing to keep the sandstorm going. Um, ok, here's the address the page with the midi (it might not be up yet).. there ya go. Hope you enjoyed the new lyrics!

Gazing Dreams Your poem was sweet! Have you considered vocalizing some of the FF music? I think you'd do pretty well.. I mean, poetry is the main deal with this lyricalizing or whatchamacallit. I didn't mean to offend when I said, "if you hadn't finished the game"; sorry if I was unclear.. I just didn't want to spoil anything for you. I know someone that keeps trying to tell me the end of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. GRRRRRR!!! I haven't even started reading the first book yet!!!
chimera86 Thank you a TON for reviewing! No, no -- your compliments are mana to the ears! Oh, and you wouldn't believe this, but I was online right when you reviewed! Ooh.. creepy. I kept on reloading the ff.net's ff9 page, and BOOM! Instead of 7 reviews, I saw a mighty 8! You won't believe how stunned and giddy I was! Well, I couldn't really refresh my review page (it seemed to still think I had 7 reviews), so I got so excited and impatient and desparate I went straight to my email box, which gets alerts and the exact quote of the review, and here I am! And there you are; I will do Kuja's theme for you. Granted, it may not be up as quickly as the last song, but it WILL. BE. UP. Count on it.
Yes, requests are wanted! Any song, any song at ALL!! Ooh.. except for the battle theme ::shudders:: I'm kidding, yet again. I'll take whatcha got, even the battle theme (if you, indeed, really do want it)! It can't be THAT hard.. right??
