I wake in the morning
Tired of sleeping
Get in the shower
And my make my bed alone
I put on my make up
Talk into the mirror
Ready for a new day, Without you
And i walk steady on my feet
I talk my voice obeys me

I go out at night
Sleep without the lights
And i do all of the things i have to
Keeping you on my mind
But when i think I'll be alright
I am always wrong cause

My hands
Don't wanna start again
My hands
No they don't wanna understand
My hands
They just shake it try to break whatever piece i may find
My hands
They only agree to hold
Your hands
And they don't wanna be without
Your hands
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go

I talk about you now
And i do without crying
I go out with my friends now
I stay home all alone
And i don't see you everywhere
And i can say your name easily
I laugh bit louder
Without you

And i see diferent shades now
And i, I'm almost never afraid now
But when i think i'll be ok
I am always wrong cause

My hands
Don't wanna start again
My hands
No they don't wanna understand
My hands
They just shake it try to break whatever piece i may find
My hands
They only agree to hold
Your hands
No they don't wanna be without
Your hands
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go

Sometimes i wait
I see them reaching out for you
Quietly break
whatever sheilds i spent so long building up
I cannot fake
Cause when they cry im almost broken ..??..
They miss holding my baby

My hands, My hands

No they don't wanna understand
They just shake it try to break whatever piece i may find

My hands
Your hands
They don't wanna be with us?
And they will not let me go
No they will not let me go
 
Hahahaha, I'm so glad I'm getting the Japanese version.

They must have something good planned for FY2010 now :x


FFXIV is already announced for a WW release in FY2010 just to name one.
Maybe they could get Versus out by March 2011 in Japan too.
 
Fucking Leona Boring Lewis??

I can't believe Sony managed to put that crap on the game.

Microsoft, where were you when we you were most needed?
 
Europe same day as NA, great news.

I won't be able to play my ps3 until may anyway, so this is as good as it gets for me

Looks bloody amazing....

'My hands' hahahaha I never care for any of the title songs anyway...

Listening to the Square Enix USA guy talk about this Leona Lewis single is painful.

The only thing I could make out is that "My Hands" will be the theme song for Final Fantasy Sardines.
 
Ugh, the hate over the Leona Lewis song is giving me a headache.

I do not see what the problem is. Leona Lewis isn't exactly a favorite of mine, in fact "My Hands" is the first song of hers I've really paid attention to. Heard some of her stuff before, remembered that she had a good voice, not really my thing though. My first impression of the song is that it's not really something I enjoy, but it's at least tolerable -- the vocals are good, the lyrics are fine, nothing seems awkward.

THAT SAID, I see this as a smart move. FF songs that go from Japanese to English don't usually end up sounding very good to someone in NA/EU. Angela Aki is the only singer who really isn't known in the west that I was ok with being in the English game, because she can actually sing in English very well. Faye Wong is an amazing singer, arguably the best pop star out of Asia in the past two decades. But I really never understood why they tried to make Eyes on Me work in English. They would have been better off leaving it in Japanese, like they did for FFX, or leaving it out for the NA/EU release. Melodies of Life was also very meh in English.

Basically, my attitude has always been that if you are going to have a singer who is better off doing a song in Japanese, leave it that way or don't include it in the NA/EU release. Otherwise, find a singer who has more appeal in the west and use that person instead. I am pleased that S-E made that decision. My Hands isn't the best song of all time or whatever, but it sounds ok, and will have much more appeal to a western audience. I certainly find it more tolerable than any other FF song with vocals (along with Angela Aki).

Also, I find it hilarious that there was a LOT of hate for the Japanese FF13 song until Leona Lewis came along. Everything from "no one knows who she is", to the song structure being boring and uninspired, to super generic vocals.
 
FFXIII, GT, and God of War 3 all around the same time. Heavy Rain and Bioshock 2 slightly before that. Holy Jesus. They should have pushed at least one of those games to this holiday.

Yeah, I just wanna know, Road, where were you when we you were most needed?
 
My thoughts on the theme song change:

1) It was basically necessary for them to use an English song. (But what about European countries that don't speak English, you ask? Well I say a pox on them)

2) Translating Japanese songs and signing them in English is really hard to do, and much harder to do right.

3) The game is going to be dubbed into English anyway, so why wouldn't you also have an English theme song?

4) One problem I have with it is that the Japanese theme song was composed for FFXIII. The NA/EU theme song is just some random song they picked that they thought worked for the game.

I don' think that the people buying GoW3 and Bioshock are the same people that would be buying FF XIII.

I think GT5 will be more competition than they will.

You know what would be awesome, if they left the release date vague like that on purpose, so it's March 9th for USA and September 3rd for Europe.

The trailer on American sites have it shown as 3-9-2010 at the end.
