Zidane to Vivi [Original Final Fantasy IX Song] - Brentalfloss

I used a little bit of Vivi's theme from Final Fantasy IX and weaved it into an original song about... you know... the way a child wizard deals with existential dread!

Yes, this song was heavily influenced by the work of Ben Folds Five. If you haven't heard of them, check 'em out!

Special thanks to artist John Lozano for letting me use his portrait of Vivi.

LYRICS:
The past few days, they got you down in a real dark place
But you can't save the world staring off into space
I know you're scared, and so am I
But sooner or later, sooner or later things die, Vivi
Yeah that's how it is...

Try not to think too hard, Vivi, sometimes you have to smile
Set the world down, come on, go out and play
Don't let it get you down, Vivi
It isn't worth your while, we all die someday
But forever's so far away, you're gonna be okay

You're all hung up on this existential stuff
But all that worrying, kid, when's it gonna be enough?
We're in the dark... that's how it goes...
But why sit and wonder when nobody really knows, kiddo?
Just go with the flow

Try not to think too hard, Vivi, sometimes you have to smile
Set the world down, come on, go out and play
Don't let it get you down, Vivi
It isn't worth your while, we all die someday
But forever's so far away...

So that's it? So now you're givin' in?
Well here's all I have to say:
You want a life? It's what you're livin in'
Just take it day by day

But if you decide to go nowhere fast
Terrified of your future, unsure of your past
Then you waste the here and now, and baby that's all that you got

You wanna think it's all bad, but I'm telling you it's not...

Try not to think too hard, Vivi, sometimes you have to smile
Set the world down, come on, go out and play
Don't let it get you down, Vivi
It isn't worth your while
We all die someday, but forever's so far away,
You're gonna be... you're gonna be...
you're gonna be... okay.
... okay?
