I'm in such a hypemode for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth at the moment, so precisely I had to make a lyrics video of this wonderful song!
The song capured me since it was first revealed at the game awards 2023 last year!
Fun fact; the songstress of this song (Loren Allred) is actually the real voice for the song "Never Enough" from the greatest showman. :3
And Loren just sang a new version of Never Enough on AGT Fantasy League in January that blew the roof off the place.
I just finished rebirth yesterday, and I'm still very sensitive to this song. That last shot of Aerith watching the tiny bronco fly away broke my heart 😭
I am ar chapter 12 and having seen what s coming I don't know if I want to get to the end.
I might as well start the remake where everyone is alive and you get that feeling of the beginning, the first meeting, the anticipation of what is to come.
@@DsLmaNiaC LOL that's a good idea actually.
Yeah that part hit likes a truck. I was bulging my eyes out. Cloud will save her in part 3 i believe or at least play a major part to bring her back. Zack is back so i think Zack will play a major role or could be her savior. 😢
@roastedlion1 I'm sure if we can't see our Aerith again, at least we will be able to save an Aerith from another world. It's my hope we can kill Sephirot before he kills all Aeriths from all worlds. That seems to be his purpose before merging all worlds together and summon meteor.
@@DWN-024ShadowMankeep our hope up.
This song has finally worked its magic. I wasn't sure when I heard it at the Game Awards but now that I've completed FF7 Rebirth, this song won me over. The Aerith musical theme baked into it at the near end also helped.
"Still, I hope some day you'll come and find me." This part really broke my heart 💔 😭
Et quant tu pense que Cloud ressent (surement) la même chose mais qu'il ose pas...
Same...
The next line makes it a little better.
Still, I know someday you'll come and find me
The Past can't be changed, but The Future can
"Fate and Destiny, are no guarantee. Still, i hope some day you'll come and find me..."
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"Still, I know someday you'll come and find me..." ❤️
The Best LINE!
@@-antares_Perfect
Those lines hit deep
This took me so long to understand....[spoilers for part 3] She's talking about the REAL Cloud.
What was the inspiration behind No Promises to Keep?
Uematsu: Since it is a ballad, I wanted to make it absolutely electrifying. I was asked to make the song so that the key phrase would play in repetition, and that’s when Harry Nilsson’s “Without You” came to mind. I took inspiration from it and decided to repeat a key phrase in the chorus.
How did you feel when you first listened to “No Promises to Keep?”
Uematsu: This is the first time I’ve heard this, and I’m glad she sensed exactly what we were aiming for. “No Promises to Keep” is a love song. I wanted it to exude a sweet feeling, but at the same time, evoke the complex feeling as Aerith confessed her feelings. I tried to build up the song as it climaxed, exactly as Loren described
Was there anything you paid attention to when singing “No Promises to Keep”?
Loren: I wanted to get to know Aerith well, and I also wanted to depict her relationship with Cloud. So, for me to channel her fragile and pure personality, I needed to change certain elements of my natural vocals to match up with her character.
No Promises to Keep was inspired by, “Without you” I just listened to the version Mariah Carey sings in Tokyo and wow, you need to listen to it.
❤🌹
Damn dude, I freaking love Loren, she's a different breed of singer.
I swear this piece feels like it is straight out of avita and beauty and the beast from the 90’s it’s soo amazing
The song definitely isn't about Cloud tho
@@borttheattorney6012right? They will always be those to will deny it. And it doesn't help that the developers say different things. But I think the only reason they were saying this was because they were trying to avoid the Cloti backlash, they can be pretty aggressive.
I love how each and every love song composed by Uematsu-san feels like it's from the same time period. This one is so 1990s, just like Eyes on Me and Melodies of Life. I love it!
"I think I'm beginning to understand. An answer from the Planet. The Promised Land. I think I can meet her there."
"Still I know someday you'll come and find me."
May be “The Promised Land” is a great title for Part 3 theme song.
@@CidoFamthe title is already taken by advent children ost
@@-antares_ Ah, good to know. Thanks for that.
this is the game i don't want to end😢
Me too 😢
Cloud will find you in part 3 my girl
no she’s gone that final shot was 110% her last appearance
@@ChaddingAroundYTYou'd have to be completely delusional to really belive that
@@zamaskowany12 how
No promises awaits at journeys end
In the graveyard xD
Finally a version of the end credits of No Promises to Keep.
What i love about FF7 is you saving yourself as much as you are saving the world
I wish they’d release this in spotify already
I think it will in either April or May.
I already pre ordered all physical soundtracks discs, so far I know that hasn't gotten a release date.... but people are slowly releasing portions of songs on UA-cam so for now I am pleased
March 20 but physical copy is in April
Already release yesterday. 😍😍
Thank you for this. I ain’t gonna lie - I cried when the credits rolled on screen when I finished the game. Rebirth was tough. It was long. It was exhausting. But dammit, it was all worth it, even though we couldn’t change fate. Till the day we meet again, Aerith. ❤️
Same dude, I couldn't stop crying 😢
The whole game is about denying fate n destiny.
I'm cry again ❤
What a bittersweet song that perfectly captures the story’s end. Love this song.
OMG. I've ben so dumb! When I first heard this song, all I could do was compare it to "Hollow" from part 1. I kept focusing too much on the name "No promises to Keep" without understanding the full context. So, I never really payed attention to the lyrics.
[Spoilers from the Original and potentially part 3]
I just beat the game a second time, to really absorb the story. And now having watched this lyric video. I finally understand that this song is from Aerith to the REAL Cloud (i feel dumb, again). She believes in her heart that one day she will get to meet the real Cloud in person. There are no promises to keep, because as Alphried says in Loveless, "He knows he will find you here." There are actual layers to this song that just went completely over my head. This song is beautiful, and the fact that it comes from Aerith makes it even more special.
Yes i'm agree with you...
Aerith is beautiful ❤
The entire song is about cloud finding Aerith again. Her telling him to believe they will be together again!
He has to find her in part 3!
I truly believe when cloud deflected sephiroths sword at the end he created a new timeline where Aerith is alive.
Yes !❤ me too believe
AERITH is alive in the part three in the FF7
Nope she's dead...she better off with Zack anyways..cloud needs tifq
@@blackzangetsu716 Tifa seems too selfish though, she only wanted to have Cloud be her hero because all the other boys left so she made him promise. She ignored him as kids and even in remake she pushed him to the side to hang with her gang. Aerith truly cares for him and tries her best to help him. He never seemed bothered by her and he definitely smiled more at her. She makes him truly happy. And just as the fortune said, Aerith is what he charishes the most. Hollow is also about clouds feelings toward Aerith. Its ok you like Tifa, the have is set up so you can like whichever, but when you really look into the whole game, Aerith is his #1 choice, as she should be.
@@TheDelightfulFlowerLady no she is not is number 1 choice and remember in the og cloud had sex with tifa and aerith told cloud she only liked him at first because he reminded her of someone else (zack) sure she grew on him but thats just her nature personality. .tifa was like a tom boy but she also cared for cloud even when they was kids..the other kids didn't want cloud around..tifa and aerith both hiding things from cloud but its more suitable for cloud and tifa together and aerith and zack together..if zack wouldn't have died she would have been with him..she even went as far as to check on his family when she got to gonga village so yea she still loves zack too
@@blackzangetsu716 for me
Cloud love Aerith ! ❤
Tifa is juste a friend...
If Tifa is waifu, then Arisu is my goddess. That has never change since the day I saw her in the original FF7 back in its release. Arisu's tragic life hurts our heart deeper than the center of Gaia. Till today I ache and grieve for her death and rebirth is going to make it a whole other level lol....
never let's u go aertih....don't say goodbye...see u again....
Yeah 😢
so aeriths essentially saying she has complete confidence in her and clouds strength of love to reunite them in the future?
Well at least she believes in that
No…it’s about Zack…
@@tarisukone6914song writer and artist confirmed it's about cloud
@@tarisukone6914 Its literally has lyrics about Cloud and Aerith meeting. How it can be about Zack?
@@tarisukone6914 Cope. Clerith wins
I think we will still see more of Aerith showing up to Cloud guiding him like an angel and at the other hand Sephiroth guiding Cloud like the devil
He have to find her , since she knows he will
Same!! It also says so in Hollow from Cloud pov: "when broken up, you would appear." I think this part is for part 3. The part where he sings about "was it all a dream, will I ever know? Foolish and blind to everything. Had I realized, had I thought it through, would you be here in my embrace?" Is about the dream date with him and Aerith in Rebirth
@@danielle810 if it is, then it makes me even more excited for part 3. And probably part 3 will be the ending to the whole FF7 remake
@mariolurita6355 yes, I hope so too! I also think he will be able to safe her (if he didn't already in one of the timelines). Soooo many things suggest to it!! When Cloud says at the end: Aerith, I WILL stop Sepiroth, I can't help to think it has a deeper meaning to it.
Heaven or Hell
@lorenallred is my favorite singer on this planet…. Exquisite vocals, grace, elegance, stunning, puts her entire soul into her music! ❤
Thank you for putting this here without spoilers (even though I played the original FFVII). This song is just so beautiful yet heartbreaking. I prefer to take the last verse positively that she knows Cloud will come and find her someday. Hopefully they will conclude this story well. 4 years is a long wait.
Final Fantasy 7 means the world to me, the first game to ever make me cry and a truly defining experience in gaming! Experiencing it again through Remake and currently playing through Rebirth i know the waterworks are going to flow all over again! And I am so thankful it will because this game deserves this experience and cinematic level adventure! Absolutely incredible! 😍😭✨🌹
If you believe in yourself and with a tiny pinch of magic, all your dreams can come true
This song is just perfect i cant express how wonderful and amazing it is my girl Aerith don't worry you will reunite with cloud 😭🪷
Yess
Watching this one week after finishing Rebirth and this hits so much harder. 😢
4 more years til the next game
Yep at least I got something to look forward to
Hopefully less than that? When they announced Rebirth they said they were also working on the 3rd game so they could cut back on the delay of release. 🙏🤞
Think they confirmed it would be 3 years so it will release on its 30th anniversary.
Loren can just flat out sing anything. Greatest Showman to this. Insane.
Can’t wait to commit this song to memory
This song dang near made me cry both times it was played in the game. Just a beautiful song that fits perfectly with the story
💯 agree
Considering the fate that befell aerith, this is the kind of song that would bring many to tears
Me for exemple...😢
Thank you!!!!! i already transcribed this song in my keyboard lol. (I don't know how to write notes but I kept it all in my head)
lyrics
Walking city streets with worn cobblestones.
Listening to people rushing past to rhythms all their own
Life passing me by, not thinking how the years have flown
Until I met you.
I won't say that it was fate
I won't say that it was destiny
But if not, what could it be
That drew you towards me?
Could it be chance?
Till the day that we meet again
Where or when I wish I could say
But believe know that you'll find me
Promises to keep we won't ever need
If only I'd never known.
All the burdens I was born to bear
Lived a life without a care in a world safe for you
But that won't do
Till the day that we meet again
On our street, I want to believe.
In the chance that we'll share a glance.
Promises to keep we won't ever need
Till the day that we meet again
At our place, just let me believe.
In the chance that you'll come.
Take my hand, and never let me go!
Take my hand and believe
We can be together evermore!
Walking city streets with worn cobblestones.
Struggling against the crowds and finding ourselves all alone.
Fate and destiny are no guarantee.
Still, I hope some day you'll come and find me.
Still, I know some day you'll come and find me.
You can hear part of her theme in the song background too 😭. I heard that in April they were releasing the album. I hope that’s true. I need this in my life.
I heard sometime later in March no?
I know she sounded familiar, this is Loren Allred. The same women who sang “Never Enough” in The Greatest Showman.
Never seen that, but I saw her on agt earlier this year.
Cloud save her, and never let her go. 🎀💛🖤🗡
my heart broke because of this song and finishing rebirth 😭5/1/24
Reminds me very much of Melodies of Life + Eyes on Me with a much heartbreaking moment.
“Still i hope someday you’ll come and find me”. this part broke my heart.
“Still i know some day you’ll come and find me”. this part gives me hope.
If Aerith will not be saved in part 3, i will protest in front of Square headquarter.
I hope so... But in the french version, at the end she says "farewell", and not "goodbye" (which for me make a difference). But at the beginning of the very last fight, Aerith say to Cloud: "I saw what you did, thank you", and Cloud respond: "thank me later". What does it means?! I'm SOOOOOOOO confused!!! Can't wait for Part 3 "FF7 Reunited"?
@@juss2475keep your hope up or go protest with me
She better not live. I love her and all, but she needs to die for the plot to work.
Maybe they could handle her living but I doubt it.
she need to die for only one timeline bc lifestream can go another timeline freely that mean she can live in alternative timeline.
@@yakumojoly yes I know she needs to die. But just for the hundred of hours I tried to resurrect her when I was 16, I'd be sooo happy if they manage to make us save her 🤞🤞(sorry for my bad English)
We are not puppets to anybody
We are real human beings trying to save the world and make it a better place
I'm totally agree with you ❤
@@user-sw6dv2lq7s Thank you
its pretty , been looking for this song for days .. thanks for uploading
BUT then ... it tugs my heartstring real hard x'D god
Literally cannot wait for part 3.
this is so pretty thank u for posting this
when i saw this i just know i sobbed
Thank you for the vidio man
This is definitely my game of the year. The amount of emotions I felt with this story and cast of characters 🥹😭❤️ It's bittersweet 🥲
People who think Aerith won't come back are just coping at this point lol Anyways can't wait till Cloud finds her in the world where she's alive and finally have their beautiful reunion ❤
Me too !❤
Totally Awesome 🎶🌟🌸💯💛
Nobuo the real heart of final fantasy
I love it!
no promises to keep it's so beautiful song
no promises to keep is absolutely inspiration
Did anyone else notice that there was no scene with Cloud placing Aerith’s body into the life stream? It just didn’t happen.
I like this version because the first chorus has the same instrumental arrangement as the second. The official full version just tames it
Loren Allred did a magnificent performance at the video game awards no promises to keep it's a beautiful song in final fantasy 7 remake rebirth
Aerith is beautiful!
Le début de la chanson ( avec le piano ) fait fortement penser à Nier Automata - Weight Of The World…
Au passage chanson sublime et OST du jeu exceptionnelle ! Quel travail de Square c’est TITANESQUE
It does remind me of Weight of the World as well actually, love that song too tho! :3 (Despite me not even having played Nier yet)
I'm not crying. I just have dust in my eyes.
Her song is awesome
They couldn't have picked a better person for this song
I love this song very much, and despite knowing the interview I can't help but feel this song is meant for Zack. It could also be for Cloud in the moment, but deep down she hopes it reaches Zack as well. And taking into account that Advent Children will be taken into account for the games as well, at some point Zack and Aerith do reunite. So even if the song is meant for Cloud in the moment, it may foreshadow the events of Zacks and Aerith's reunion as well.
Same here!! For me the song really could be about either.
but ac was essentially overwitten as a future not to come bcs of remake
The events of AC are still Canon even with Remake. The events that we've experienced in Rebirth are also predominantly the same as the original as well, just expanded on or slightly changed to match how the story is now being told.
Even if Zack and Aerith reunite somewhere, they are no longer a couple . Find a script for Advent children on the Internet. The moments where Aerith watches Cloud ride across the field are described in the story as: Aerith looks at Cloud, feeling lonely. Why is she lonely if she has already met Zack? Plus the key words of the song: We don't need promises. There are promises about Zack and Aerith, so she believes that her and Cloud don't need them. In the ending of the game, they don't make promises in Japanese, she just says she believes in him.
@user-df8lp9zq8s all fair interpretations, though the lonely one could easily be in a friendship sort of way. She misses him, and that could easily translate to loneliness, even with Zack there it can still feel lonely without him.
Now to quote the songs "promises to keep, we won't ever need" which means that they are making promises, just that they don't need to. Which can be taken many ways. I believe in you is a promise in and of itself. Even if the words aren't spoken.
I’m on Chapter 12 right now and I’m not ready yet 😭
I hope FF7 still comes to fruitin in the next years and so
Cried as this played over the ending credits
One day i better get official sheet music for thiss omg
Those we hate, those we love, those we fear- Jenova would become anyone to fool her prey.
Did you guys know?
The one who sang this is the one who also sang Never Enough from The Greatest Showman! 😁 Such a legend!
I swear the music team at square is gifted wether it be final fantasy or kingdom hearts theyve produce alot of my favorite game songs.
Aerith will be saved
This song has huge WW2 Vera Lynn "We'll meet again" song's vibe
Hope that the end of Part 3 will be the same with the final of this song.
Some day, Cloud will go and find Aerith!!
It makes sense that this is a song to everyone that Aerith has ever loved: Elmyra, Ilfana, Zack, Tifa, Barret and Cloud. It's vague enough to tell she's not talking about one person. She met Elmyra on cobblestone floor. She had several memories with people on a street. It's a love song to her loved ones
City street worn cobblestones i don't think that is slum and mean elmyra i think chorus 1
"Till the day that we meet again
Where or when?
I wish I could say"
it's mean everyone but On chorus 2
"Till the day that we meet again
On our street, I want to believe
In the chance that we'll share a glance"
It's mean someone bc she knowing what place to reunite.
Updated : recently Uematsu still said it's about cloud and album photobook also only aerith and cloud on it.
Why it's people so stubborn about Cloud x Aerith not being the main couple? Even when if they are not romantic involved their bond is deeper than any other bond they had before. Not to downplay zack or tifa, they are amazing, but clearly the game roots more for Cloud and Aerith
@@user-fl4ok4xr1fits because the developers are saying conflicting comments. One says its about cloud the other says its about everyone, but I think they only tried to say that because they didn't want to upset the cloti fans. They can be pretty aggressive. I heard the developers were getting threatened, but not sure that's true or not.
@@TheDelightfulFlowerLady the devs do this all the time especially when it comes to anything related to ships. they essentially give both sides what they want and then they strip it away by contradicting what they said or did lmao, they've been doing it for years... the thing is nojima never denied that the song had romantic elements, he just said it's not JUST a love song. it's also a song dedicated to everyone aerith loves and the song also talks about her burdens as a cetra etc.
however, as always, people only take away what fits their narrative. for those who want it to be just a love song they'll use uematsu said and claim it's just a love song, for those who want it to not be a love song they'll use what nojima said in order to support their narrative that it's not a love song... but the thing is nojima literally said it's both: it's aerith's song that talks about her internal struggles, it's a song she dedicates to everyone AND it's also a love song.
if you read the lyrics it's very clear that she is very obviously talking about the street where she met cloud and "our place" (referenced by cloud and aerith in rebirth). the japanese lyrics are actually a lot more direct than the english ones, in japanese it straight up says "rushed by the bustling sounds of people's footsteps, i met you on that street" hmm i wonder who she met on that street? surely not the main character of the game right?
in conclusion: it's aerith's song that she dedicates to everyone she loves, that talks her burdens as a cetra and it's also a love song for cloud.
My birthday. I feel reeeeeally old rn. When did Flower Girl get a voice?
Happy Brithday! :333
I was a bit bummed out as to why the crew flew off without Aerith at the end of Rebirth.
I guess we’ll find out in Part 3. She said something about praying to save the planet so maybe she’ll venture back there by herself.
She died. Clouds hallucinating her to cope with the trauma
Aerith die like OG 🥲
Do not listen to them. She didn't die. She's alive in other timeline.
That's quite obvious and only blind people think otherwise duh.
@@LodyPolskieNarodowe Cloud is still unstable at the end of Rebirth. He is even seeing the raptured skies whilst the rest of the crew don't.
Who knows if that was truly Aerith? I mean, the sudden shift of tone when Cloud was revealed to be in possession of the Black Materia says it all. We cannot trust Cloud's point of view.
@@lorenzolyleabadia1669 He sees that rift in the sky because of the timeline he created. Eventually because of jenova cells.
It has to be Aerith. If it was Jenova, then the entire talk would be pretty much usseles considering Cloud wants to go to the crater by himself.
Cmoon it's obvious he saved her in another timeline. Just watch the scene when the party comes to Aerith's body. It's laying on her right. When Cloud comes everyone disappear, whispers are here, the rainbow glow appears and she's laying on her back. Then Cloud says "Aerith. Wake up." and she wakes up indeed. This pretty much confirms she's alive.
I believe Cloud is stuck beetwen the OG/rebirth timeline and the one he created.
Goodbye 😢
"Goodbye"
[me hearing this song at the end of Rebirth ] welp there goes my heart
The timing has that more sophisticated rhythm. Is this in 8 or something?
aerith said lend us our strength
😭😭😭😭😭😭
How do u process the song’s copyright
I mean I don't gain any profit for my videos, some parts of the song are also a little edited (though it's not really noticeable), but these videos are just for fun and entertainment. So I just hope I won't get any problems in the future. :< so far nothing really happened, I hope I won't have to take it down one day, but I will if I have to of course. (My Nintendo videos are also rather dangerous tbh)
I tried to include copyright management in my description tho, but it of course could be more professional.
@@victoria_bye_music you could gain fans through this method in this stage now like me before,come on!let’s describe each other!
That Ending........
My Head is a Fucking Mess.
Aerith is beautiful
Wheres the new lyrics come from?
From the end credits
You can also hear the full version if you search for the video Loren Allred and Nobuo Uematsu made for the channel THE FIRST TAKE
I only other time i ever cried to a video game was the original Final Fantasy VII and only at the one scene everyone knows about.
In Rebirth i cried multiple times:
When they show Jessie performing at the play
When Aerith Sing this song
When Zack reunites with Cloud
When Aerith says goodbye to cloud in the church
When aerith is praying
And at the end cutscene
You did good Square-Enix
You forgot the most brutal one… Aerith’s trial 😞
This song is clearly about Cloud isn’t it ?
The writer of the lyrics confirmed it’s meant about all of her friends
@@justing4794 I saw that and that’s weird
yes In chorus1 maybe mean everyone but on "Till the day that we meet again
On our street, I want to believe" It's really mean cloud(tifa,barret,zack, first met aerith not on street.). they always said cloud name first(it's so funny).
PS. they never said it's was never meant to be that way( not for only someone) but they made it doesn't sound like to that way bc chorus1 and chorus3 canbe mean everyone but chorus2 it's can't be everyone
it’s about cloud. nojima seems to have backtracked but uematsu
is standing strong on his stance. it’s a convoluted mess.
in my opinion it’s clearly about cloud. she speaks to a singular entity throughout the song:
“till i met *you.”*
“what could it be the drew me towards *you.”*
“know that *you’ll* find me.”
“live a life safe for *you.*”
“know that *you’ll* find me.”
@@mochaeko yeah I saw that. Why did he do that? It’s weird. It’s clearly about Cloud. It doesn’t make sense for anyone that isn’t Cloud.
I believe they can be together evermore…………
no promises to keep gives me emotional and thoughts
I don't understand people who say NPTK is about Zack.
The lyrics don't match him.
Same goes to Hollow. Zack in Cloud's embrace? Like wth.
Aerith : No promises to keep
Me : And No time to die right?
Aerith: .....
Me : right ? 😢
Rebirth is the Best game ever!
This has a very barbie song feeling ngl
Aeirth deserves a happy ending 😭
It kinda sound like the Wendel town theme from Sword of Mana
Idc what anyone says, i hope cloud bringd aerith back to our reality and zack too n finally be with tifa n everyone gets a happy ending. Ill be cheering all the way. 😅
love song to clerith!!!
ngl, the lyrics is kinda hard to read.. but still readable
You mean the font? :)
I'm always open for criticism so I appreciate it!
@@victoria_bye_music yea i meant the fonts.. some alphabet is kinda hard to detect..
This is a beautiful song. I don't think this is how aerith sounds when she songs. The voice goes too low. Sounds more like tifa...
I didn't like this song much at first. But I decided to give it a few more tries. And now it's on repeat.
