You're Not Alone! Final Fantasy IX's exceptional moment
2,896An analysis of You're Not Alone, one of Nobuo Uematsu's most famous tracks, and a fantastic scene from Final Fantasy IX. I look at how You're Not Alone is so different to the rest of the soundtrack, why it subverts expectation to create surprise, and its relation to Final Fantasy IX in the greater context of the Final Fantasy series. I also compare it to and share my thoughts on Florence and the Machine's cover of Stand By Me, which was used as the theme music to Final Fantasy XV.
Game Score Fanfare is a show that celebrates music in video games. I want to explore and share the unique ways that games use music to instil emotion into pixels and code, tell stories through sound, and create unforgettable moments. I'll be shining a light on the games and people who have taken the medium of video game music seriously and pushed its limits to create one of the most diverse genres of music that we have.
