素敵だね (Suteki Da Ne) Isn't it Wonderful by Rikki - Theme song of Final Fantasy X

素敵だね (Suteki Da Ne)

風が 寄せた 言葉に
泳いだ 心
雲が 運ぶ 明日に
弾んだ 声

月が 揺れる 鏡に
震えた 心
星が 流れ こぼれた
柔らかい 涙

素敵だね
二人手をとり 歩けたなら
行きたいよ
君の街 家 腕の中

その胸
からだあずけ
宵にまぎれ
夢見る

風は 止まり 言葉は
優しい幻
雲は 破れ 明日は
遠くの 声

月が にじむ 鏡を
流れた 心
星が 揺れて こぼれた
隠せない 涙

素敵だね
二人手をとり 歩けたなら
行きたいよ
君の街 家 腕の中

その顔
そっと触れて
朝に溶ける
夢見る

Isn't it Wonderful?

Moon's tender light through the dark gently weave
Calm like the night, cold like the sea
Stars slowly fall from the sky to my dreams
Tears overflow in loneliness

Wouldn't it be nice
If we could walk together
Hand in hand, side by side
And I'd like to go
Back to your town
And to your home
Into your arms

Unto your heart
I give my everything
Sweet dreams of nothingness
Will fade with dawn

Heart ever still like the wind as it fades
Words but a lie, kind all the same
Voice ever sure as it rings through the sky
Brilliantly sound in harmony

Moon's silver light on the waves brightly shine
Pure like a prayer, clear like your eyes
Stars linger on in the sky as I dream
Tears overflow in loneliness

Wouldn't it be nice
If we could walk together
Hand in hand, side by side
And I'd like to go
Back to your town
And to your home
Into your arms

I see your smile
I see eternity
Sweet dreams of nothingness
That fade with dawn

Lyrics from http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Suteki_da_ne 

多美好啊

作曲:植松伸夫 作詞:野島一成

寄語在風中,遊盪在心中;
是你帶來雲彩的明天和那急促的腳步聲;
在那月光閃爍的鏡中,
那是我顫動的心.
流動的繁星像那灑落的飽含柔情的眼淚.

依偎在你的懷中,
恍若夜晚依稀的夢.
風停了,
那是你溫柔的昵語,
在幻雲破碎的明天傳來的遙遠的聲音.
月光似水的鏡中流動的心,
就像那閃動的星星,
流淌出難以掩藏的淚水.
撫摸你熟悉的面容,
恍若清晨美好的夢!

多美好啊!
如果兩人能夠攜手同行.
是的,只想和你同行,
攜手漫步在屬於你的街道上……

--------------------------------------------------------

The Final Fantasy franchise is a well known game series in the gaming community.

Growing up I never had the privilege of owning a Playstation but luckily my best friend who lived down the road from me (literately) had one and loved playing RPGs.

I used to spend time after school and on weekends over at his house playing games like Tekken and Crash Bandicoot together or watching him play Final Fantasy VII, VIII, X then X-II. 

Will never forget the moment when Aeris died, the dramatic background music leading up to the death, followed by the melodic piece after her death.

The cleverly arranged instrumental pieces compliment and accentuate emotions the game makers are trying to convey. 

Just like Hayao Miyazaki films are incomplete without Joe Hisashi's compositions; Final Fantasy games are incomplete without Nobuo Uematsu's pieces.

I really love this piece from Final Fantasy X.

The singer's gentle yet powerful voice.

The buildup of emotions.

Beautiful arrangement.

The lyrics and the image it paints in your mind.

The romance between Tidus and Yuna.

The longing for love. 

Other than "perfection" there is no other word to describe it.

Right now I am at a point of being indifferent.

I had something that I thought I really wanted, but now I am just indifferent.

Maybe I have accepted the status quo?

Maybe my heart is locked up behind my walls of insecurities and self doubt?

I have lost my fire.

I am not sad, but I am not happy.

Unmotivated but still going on some how. 

I spent the last few months centering my life around someone.

It takes time adjusting to prioritising myself first.

I am more reserved and quiet now.

I am withdrawing back into my protective shell.

I am facing the world with the many masks of who I think people want me to be.

He got close to finding out the real me, close, but still I hid behind the guise of a tough and optimistic tomboy. 

The real me is.... lost again.

She is gone, maybe even forgotten...

The cogwheels of life continue to turn.

The days pass and I continue breathing. 

Before it all ends, I hope the real me comes out again.

For tonight I will just fall asleep listening to this soothing masterpiece also from Final Fantasy X.
