This song won a best song of the year award in Japan when it came out and was played on the radio. It was sung by Faye Wong a singer out of Hong Kong

Fun fact: Faye Wong sung this in ONE take in complete darkness. Uematsu organised an orchestra to play it and sent the recording to her. He called her voice "truly heavenly". The song along sold 400k copies and won "song of the year (western music)" in Japan's Annual Gold Disc Award in 1999 and was the FIRST video game song to win that honour.

Normal people: "So what's your favorite genre of music?"
People who grew up on Uematsu: "What's a genre?"

A song composed by Japanese, sang by Chinese with English lyrics...masterpiece.

"I'm more than a dress and a voice" that part always makes me so sad, knowing the story behind the song.

FF8 is peak Uematsu for me. He's trying so many things in this game and he just keeps nailing it all.

FFVIII was the first FF to have a vocal theme song, which would become a staple for the series from here on. Also the first FF to have orchestral music (for the opening and ending). Eyes on Me was performed by Faye Wong

Singer is Faye Wong. Very popular Chinese artist. Was the first Chinese artist featured in a Japanese video game I believe. Kinda funny considering the song is in English. Anyway, thank you for the reaction and I hope you enjoy my favorite Final Fantasy. :3

The first time I heard this song I realized that there is absolutely no style outside of Nobuo Uematsu’s grasp.

Omg...the moment the singing started.....the tears came flooding! I love this song so much, and this game!

Does this game have flaws? Yes.
Do I hate it? No.
Would I still love it if things turned out different? Maybe yes, maybe no.
This can be said about every single game on existence, but with FFVIII, it feels special.

The first FF main vocal theme, Square went all out back then and hired a famous Chinese singer to perform this song. FF8’s gameplay is pretty polarising, but pretty much everyone agrees that the music is amazing.

Faye Wong is the Queen of Pop in the Chinese music industry. Although she does not release anymore albums, she is still extremely popular. She is the first Chinese Singer to be on the cover of the Time Magazine. She was also voted one of the coolest woman in the world by GQ British. Guinness record holder of the biggest selling video game song and the best selling artist of canto pop music.

I actually seen Faye Wong and heard her sing this song in person. Alot of artists sound so different in recording then they do live. Not Faye, she sounded identical. She is a beautiful singer.

Kinda late to the party but FF8 uses Eyes on Me as a motif for several other tracks in the game like "Waltz for the Moon" and "Julia", which is also the name of the character who wrote the song in-universe.

I really love this song. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it - a stirring story of missed love that resonates with me.

Imagine being Jesse and hearing this stuff without context you are a lucky person my guy all these songs meanings are going to shift so hard and I'm excited to see you react in real time

this song is for a specific scene in the game, and the lyrics tells a story from the pov of a bar singer. after this song's debut subsequent Final Fantasy games has a vocalized music as their theme, my favourite being Suteki Da Ne from FFX.
