    Yeah, Nobuo Uematsu copied chunks of the FFVII soundtrack from various other pieces. Like the lyrics to One Winged Angel which obviously comes from Carmina Burana.

    at around 1:20 and around 6 mins it sounds exactly like a song from the Final Fantasy VII game. Someone please put me out of my misery and help me figure out which one!

    Pour changer un peu de tous ces commentaires en anglais, je tiens à vous faire savoir que je suis française et que j’aime Dave Brubeck depuis mon adolescence, à 13 ans environ soit près de 46 ans. J’ai un vieux 33 tours de lui que j’écoute encore. N’y a t’il pas d’autres français qui l’apprécie, cela m’étonnerait §

    Merci à Muzbey pour ce partage, le son est meilleur que sur mon vinyle.

    I envy you so much that you were able to meet Brubeck in person. It must have been marvelous.

    I met Brubeck when I was 14 years old. To this day, he stands as the most gracious professional musician I have the pleasure to meet.( 2nd and 3rd were Bo Diddley and Jimmy Vaughan. Some people just stay beatiful. For the record the biggest dick was Travis Tritt)

    It’s the 3,3,3 bar that gives this piece it’s awesomeness. If they’d stuck with 2,2,2,3 all the way through, it’d be awesome, but not nearly as awesome.

    You’re right, the time signature and melodic construction of this piece reminded me of Thick As a Brick aswell.
