"
1000 Words" is a song written by
Noriko Matsueda and
Takahito Eguchi for the
2003 Square Enix
video game Final Fantasy X-2. The Japanese version, titled 1000の言葉 (1000 no kotoba), is sung by
J-Pop performer
Kumi Koda, and the English version is performed by
Jade Villalon, better known as
Sweetbox. Koda Kumi also released her own English versions of the songs on her CD single "Come With Me." Kumi's versions featured similar but different lyrics from Jade's versions. There are three different styles to the song as well: the band (or in-game) version, the piano version during the last scene of the game, and the orchestra version featured in the credits.
In
Final Fantasy X-2, a sequence where
Yuna performs the song to the people
Spira is shown. In this sequence,
Lenne's emotions tied to the song shine through.
