Eternal Love and the Awesome Adrisaurus

    It all began one boring summer day, browsing through the Court-Records forums and stumbling upon an awesome Phoenix Wright song cover thread started by a certain "Mia Oh Maya." I first clicked on "Child of Magic," (aka Trucy's Theme) listened to the awesome jazz track and my, it instantly shook me off my bored trance! I was like, "Oh, this girl...THIS GIRL is definitely SOMETHING."

    This lovely lady right here is Adriana Figueroa, more popularly known in the web as "Adrisaurus." She is responsible for doing awesome (and probably the best) cover songs from certain anime, videogames and more in YouTube that has gained her many fans because of her beautiful golden voice. And hey, she's very pretty and kind too! Most of her covers are not your usual covers, mind you. She puts on lyrics to songs that originally does not have vocals for example, the character themes from Phoenix Wright. After subscribing to her YouTube channel, downloading her songs into my player, listening (and singing along) to them for almost two years, visiting her channel right now puts a smile on my face because she has already won over 10,000 subscribers! Yay!

    Being a huge Adrisaurus fan and all that, I realized her vocals might fit on the English lyrics of "Eternal Love" from Final Fantasy XIII (originally sung in Japanese by Sayuri Sugawara) I was writing at that time. The translated song was initially intended to be sung by me, but then realized that my voice sounded a bit off for the song after I did a test recording so I decided to hand it over to Adriana instead. That was the first time I "approached" her online...you know, through YouTube messaging. At first I thought she'd probably ignore it, but to my surprise she did actually reply and was very much willing to sing along to my lyrics! A couple of months later, everything went BOOM! The song was finally uploaded on YouTube and many, many people loved it! It's actually the first Eternal Love English cover ever. Me and Adri are extremely thankful and so much overwhelmed with all the positive comments everyone has been giving, to the point that even other people are already doing their own covers of the 'unofficial' English version! It's really an honor to be able to work with an extraordinary singer like her!

To make you realize why I am so ecstatic about her songs, might as well make you guys listen to her version of Eternal Love! Oh, and please check out her official Facebook fanpage! :)

ETERNAL LOVE (English Version)

Vocals : Adriana Figueroa

Lyrics : Judee Zabala

This I swear unto the starlit sky

My love for you will stay forevermore, forevermore
So hold on to this hand of mine
And I promise you, I'll never let go...

Days just keep on passing by
And you are always on my mind
Naturally, baby you're the only one

Together we face what's ahead
Unafraid of anything
And that's because you're here with me

To look onto those strong eyes
I wish time would stop and leave us here in this embrace
(Baby, we will own the night...)
I can see a thousand lights
Shining brightly from the sky onto your smiling face
And then you'll see...

Eternal love, that's what this is 
This feeling that I just cannot resist
So hold on to this hand of mine
And I promise you, I'll never let go...

The day we first met, the day we first kissed
I still remember everything about us, babe
Until the day you when said yes; 
These are the moments I am sure to cherish for all time...
Your lips are so sweet -- can you feel my heart beat?
I still remember everything about us, babe
And after all this time
I'm thankful to the stars that I have found you

When I think about it now,
I was probably too blessed to be forever yours
(I am yours, and you are mine...)
But I try my best to hide;
Tears falling from my eyes, cause sometimes I'm afraid
You might say goodbye

Eternal love, that's what this is 
This feeling that I just cannot resist 
So hold on to this hand of mine
And I promise you, I'll never let go...

Eternal love, that's what this is 
This feeling that I just cannot resist 
So hold on to this hand of mine
And I promise you, I'll never let go...

I swear upon the starlit sky
My love for you will stay forevermore
My heart and soul I'll give to you
Cause this warmth I feel is eternal love...
