faye wong

i'm crying at a video game music video, haha. Eyes On Me by Faye Wong, was the theme song to Final Fantasy VIII. I loved Final Fantasy VIII when I was in middle school... this is the first time I"ve remembered this in years. It's so beautiful, but I never played it or saw the movie. I could never have afforded the video game, and my desktop back then couldn't handle downloading the game either. I wanted it so much... but all I had was this music video, with its limited scenes.

The girl, the prettiest asian girl with flowing black hair, an innocent smile, and butterfly-like steps. I thought I wanted to be her back then, but now, i would want her.

i don't know how to express how much I was (and am) mesmerized by the video. And how that comes hand in hand with an utter impossibility of buying it, possessing it.
