Group Project - "Eyes on Me"

★We all agreed to introduce the song "Eyes On Me". It is the ballad that serves as the theme of the game Final Fantasy VIII. It was performed by Chinese singer Faye Wong.

★"Eyes On Me" was the first song in video game history to win an award at the 14th Annual Japan Gold Disc Awards, where it won "Song of the Year (Western Music)" in 1999. Lilian and Peter of this group had played the game "Final Fantasy VIII" before. They recommended this song and finally we all agreed that it is a good song and decided to introduce it to all of you.

★The song has a slow beat which is so sweet and comfortable to listen to. The lyrics are beautifully written, which describes the love between Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly—the main protagonists of Final Fantasy VIII. The melody is so soft and tender...and together with the impressive voice of Faye Wong, had deeply touched the heart of every player of the game.

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you

Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming
