Anyway i personally love it!^_^
If that didn’t imply hatred of the song, I’m not sure what would…
Anyway, I have many issues with this godforsaken tune. First of all, I don’t hate it because it was in English; past FF games have been able to utilize English words quite successfully in the past (namely Eyes on Me and Melodies of Life). However, all of the English lyrics sounded plain awkward in this song, it’s as if no thought whatsoever was put into matching the words with the music. Secondly, let’s take a look at some of the lyrics:
Urgh, it’s like Britney Spears discovering Christian rock music. Out of the 11 stanza’s, 6 start with “a Thousand words”. Yes, nice and subtle. I don’t think they directly said “Eyes on Me” once during the classic FF8 theme, and I they did it certainly wasn’t in the chorus. Dame it America, you did such a good job remixing Melodies of Life in English, why couldn’t you do the same with this song?Though a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever
