Myself singing lyrics to Smiles and Tears based on translation found at:
earthboundcentral.com/2009/01/smiles-tears-lyrics/

I tried my best to keep as close to the translation as possible. Yes, I have cut parts out, and stretched other parts. I'm also very aware there is a windows error "ping" in the later half of the song. I do not have my original files and since recording this, my voice has still not returned completely from when I lost it... and until I can re-record it... this will have to do.

I have always loved this song so very much, but I have always wanted to try singing it in English. I will always hold Mother 2 (Earthbound) close to my heart. This song seems very fitting for my life at the moment, even if my life has not been as adventurous and beautiful as Ness and company... I can still relate.

Enjoy.

I had a friend that didn't live nearly half of his life, like most adults I know, but he gave me some precious memories, right here in my own heart. R.I.P Mister Satoru Iwata. Truly a beautiful person in the gaming industry.

Look up the definition of underrated. You will see a picture of the Earthbound logo next to it.

MOTHER has my favorite music. MOTHER 2 has my favorite characters. MOTHER 3 has my favorite story. All 3 have my favorite villains. All 3 have left an everlasting mark in my heart. And in doing so, all 3 have become one of my most beloved, and deeply cherished games. This is the first I've heard about the lyrics for Smiles and Tears. I was overjoyed to find out about this. This video was very uplifting.... your voice blended in well with the music. Thank you so much for putting this together.

Thank You, Satoru Iwata, for saving EarthBound (By re-programming it from the ground up so it would not be cancelled) and for all of the amazing works that you did with your time at Nintendo.  This song will always remind me of him.. Rest in Peace Satoru Iwata... #ThankYouIwata

I have beaten Earthbound today... This game... it's not a simple game. You don't cry on the whole game,but at the very final,The War Against Giygas is OVER. Then,Poo leaves first of all. You feel a little microscopic bit of emotion in your heart. Next,Jeff stays at the Saturn Valley to work with his father. That emotion grows a lot,you come to think you might cry. Then,Paula says that she wants to go home with you. You are thinking then,there's a high chance of crying. You read the letters at the gift boxes,you try do do not cry. When you drop Paula at her house in Twoson,you begin to cry. When the game ends,you cry A LOT. This game is FANTASTIC. It should be valorized like Chrono Trigger is,and valorized like FF7 is. This game was EPIC. Earthbound now is sharing room with Ocarina of Time,for most epic games that i have played. Thx for everything,Nintendo. Thx for everything,Iwata.

Hey man. I had a friend die recently - he hadn't lived half his life, either. Thank you for doing this, man. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you so much. You did a fine job with this. I hope he had good memories in his backpack. He certainly made me stronger just by being himself. Thanks, man.
