This song has always made me feel a lot of different emotions that I can’t put into words properly, but hearing this song again in the original ff7 sound font just feels very fitting, like it always was in the original soundtrack.
This song is honestly Cloud's Theme. You may argue that the Main Theme and Battle Theme is Cloud's Theme but this is his Actual Theme. However it should only be unlocked once he forgives himself.
It's a wonderful song but I couldn't disagree more with your statement. The main (over world) theme IS Cloud's Theme. It's a response to Tifa's theme. The longing and searching for each other.
@@TheLastSOLDIER87agreed. The main theme is Cloud’s theme. Or at a minimum, it’s his theme in the context of the story with his screwed up mental state. Cloud Smiles would fit if it was the last 10% of his theme, but it doesn’t properly encapsulate who Cloud has been and his struggles.
Thank you! A few years ago I hadn’t watched or listened to any of advent children basically since it came out and then once I did I couldn’t stop listening to Cloud Smiles, just such a gorgeous piece, and then I made this and a couple of other arrangements because I was obsessed xD
Listening to Cloud Smiles always makes me feel lighter, like it's all going to be okay and that I can finally take a deep breath. Thank you for sharing this beautiful rendition :)
Just found this, and you did an amazing job remixing this in the PS1 soundfont. Kudos to you, totally didn’t get me to smile and cry. Nope- Who left this bowl of onions here?
I swear I tear up every time I hear this song.. I feel it may be a little complex if it were in OG FFVII, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. This was very well done!
O saaaame 😭 Yeah, there doesn't tend to be quite this much going on in the actual tracks (not sure of the technical limits but there are some), and I fiddle the dynamics and such in ways that probably aren't authentic, but eh, the olde ~sound~ :) I'm glad you enjoyed, thanks for listening!
Aaah this is making me feel so emotionnal for many reasons. The music and the moment it's just.. 😭😭🎶💗 These two have been loving each other for so many years *sobs* and they are together. 💕
Aww thank you! Also that was literally me after rewatching Advent Children and finding the like 15 minute looped version of the soundtrack on here and deciding to make this so I relate 🥲🥲🥲
Cool! I actually had a version of this uploaded years ago that I deleted because I wasn't happy with the mix First song I ever made, actually. Btw, the PC version of VII's font has a far better piano, if you can find it. ;)
It's such a pretty tuuune. Ahh and THANKS for the piano tip, it does tend to stick out in the sound font, I'll look it up... (Ignore the fact I just replied assuming this was on Man with a machine gun haha! Anyway that was a good version I enjoyed!!)
At the end of the day, cloud went trough hell and back to impress this girl and prove that he is worthy of her to the point that he lost himself and acquired a new persona, and at the end she only wanted the old original cloud. In the remake i better see these two make out. I swear.
Thank you! I just looked it up now and it's really nicely done! (Hmm come on UA-cam, I been listening to all this ff7 music and your magic spy algorithm never clued me into the channel at all? )
@@JackBz thank you! it's floating around various places online if you search: sf2 format so you can open it up in the exs24 sampler or a third party soundfont player. I'm no expert but I would say it's a legal grey area at best and wouldn't use it in a track that was going to be used commercially in another game or anything. I've heard the sounds used were taken from the roland sc88, which exists as physical hardware (and as a vst now) and could be used! But the iconic warm ff7 sound seems a ways changed from there to me.
@@sonatina3 Thank you for a response better than I was anticipating! I have a big soft spot for that percussive xylophone-esque instrument that they use in Flowers Blooming In The Church and wanted to attempt to use it in something I was working on, so you've given me a few good options there
This is great! The volume of the instruments seem to fluctuate, though. Sometimes the flutes got too loud, sometimes the brass. Why should this exist? Because why not? Another channel by the name of Neo-Midgar took midi sheet of Star Wars' Theme and played it on FF7 soundfont after all.
...Okay I must now IMMEDIATELY check out this FF7 Star Wars. Yes. Good. Also thank you! Any balance issues are on my mixing tbh ... that and I do like to hear the horn lines even if french horn sound is particularly, hm, "assertive" in this soundfont:)

Thank you💕💕 let's bring back all the FF7 emotions!!
This song is honestly Cloud's Theme. You may argue that the Main Theme and Battle Theme is Cloud's Theme but this is his Actual Theme. However it should only be unlocked once he forgives himself.
Yes I think it’s lovely that at the end of Advent Children we get this moment, with Cloud’s name in the title too:)

Normally you smile when other smile. But when Cloud smile you cry. Advent Children hit me so hard.
Cloud: “I know, I’m not alone. Not anymore...”
Cloud: /smiles
Me: /crying
@@sonatina3and so am I. I always cry whenever I listen to this song
Fun fact: this song actually has a piece of one of the town themes from FF3, makes the song that much more special
This song is perhaps the most emotional for me, it's just so beautiful. I love this version you made with playstation sound, just discovered it today.

Thank you!
Yeah, it's such a beautiful piece like that, I know what you mean.
Time to start crying now 😭♥️ I love this song and when Cloud is reassured at the end of Advent Children that he's okay omg....my heart.
I knooow 😭😭 after all he’s gone through, they’ve all gone through.
Just found this, and you did an amazing job remixing this in the PS1 soundfont. Kudos to you, totally didn’t get me to smile and cry. Nope-
Who left this bowl of onions here?
Thank you for making this. It made me cry happy tears and just made my day. Much love ❤️
thank you for doing this, this is my favorite song ♥

Tifa really loves Cloud... 🥺
Yes 🥰
Aaah this is making me feel so emotionnal for many reasons. The music and the moment it's just.. 😭😭🎶💗 These two have been loving each other for so many years *sobs* and they are together. 💕
💕💕💕
I started imagine this in the remake with their japanese voices, uufff, 100% ART. 👌🏻♥️
So many scenes to look forward to, but definitely this one!
Criminally underrated yt channel
Then, thanks for watching (& also commenting!) ♡♡
10/10 on repeat, already cried twice
3 times now
Aww thank you! Also that was literally me after rewatching Advent Children and finding the like 15 minute looped version of the soundtrack on here and deciding to make this so I relate 🥲🥲🥲
I'm smiling as well
☺️☺️☺️💖
Aerith : “もう大丈夫、だね”
I cried so much I heard this theme in advent children
Hngh I love it so much!
Looking forward to this scene in Remake pt 3
This would be the perfect song for them to play in Remake when they get to the Highwind scene IM JUST SAYIN
Oh guys... Didn't you know that? This music 'Cloud smiles' is a mixture of main theme (Cloud theme) and Aerith theme...
Cool! I actually had a version of this uploaded years ago that I deleted because I wasn't happy with the mix First song I ever made, actually.
Btw, the PC version of VII's font has a far better piano, if you can find it. ;)

Do you have a download for this? I really need it on my phone.
You see everything's alright
At the end of the day, cloud went trough hell and back to impress this girl and prove that he is worthy of her to the point that he lost himself and acquired a new persona, and at the end she only wanted the old original cloud.
In the remake i better see these two make out. I swear.
😭 it's true!
What, a tasteful fade to black and whatever Tifa's reaction to everyone else having seen them isn't enough? :D
its been 3 years, how do you feel ?
@@jordan415cool bro. God is good. 😆
I'm crying now they freakin love each other AWW
That they dooo 😭
@@sonatina3 🥺 frr
Oh shit, Aerith's FF7Rebirth date in gold saucer gondola is based on under the highwind????
sounds great! have you heard Mathew Valente's version, by any chance? both of yours are great in their own way.
Thank you! I just looked it up now and it's really nicely done! (Hmm come on UA-cam, I been listening to all this ff7 music and your magic spy algorithm never clued me into the channel at all? )
Perfect 😭
❤
Why do birds suddenly appear, oh i meant why did strife suddenly smile ~
Can I ask where you got the ff7 sound font, and how to use it in a DAW like logic? Is it legal to publish music using it and monetise it?
Goes without saying that this is a fantastic arrangement

Wait i thought this music was only in advent children? I forgot what was player during this scene, was it really this one?
Yes this is just my cover in the ff7 sounds! Pretty it was Anxious Heart originally when there was music in the scene, much more depressing haha

he was definitely smiling after that night
😆
Did Cloud and Tifa do it??? 😳😳😳
That would be telling ! :DD
The implication in this scene is so clear and yet Clerith fan(atic)s want to argue that Cloud only thinks of Tifa as a friend.
My boy definitely smashed
