      As someone who grew up in musical theatre… when you perform from the heart in front of hundreds and thousands… it isn’t reality anymore. You literally poured your life and soul out into the performance and just that split second to snap back to reality and shed those tears of beauty is the sweetest thing ever.

Terra and Nanaki. Barret and Cyan. Yuffie and Relm/Gau. Cid and Edgar. Setzer and Cait Sith. Tifa and Sabin. I could see the ff6 and ff7 cast getting along well, very similar spirits.

    • @vaasmontenegro3728
      @vaasmontenegro3728 2 місяці тому +7

      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.

    No Promises to Keep - Ending Credits lyrics
    Walking city streets with worn cobblestones
    Listening to people rushing past to rythms 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

    FYI this is an alternative scene with high affinity towards Tifa. Aerith was singing about Cloud. “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” literally talking about meeting Cloud at loveless street for the first time, loveless street is a busy street, floors made of cobblestones. Honestly feels weird going on a date with anyone else but Aerith, then having Aerith singing a song referring to her first meeting with Cloud.

    • @jamesgravil9162

      I feel like she is singing about Zack as well. The words "Till the day when we meet again / Where or when, I wish I could say" makes me think this is about him, since she waited years for Zack to return to her. It's a pretty tragic song in either case, because regardless of who it's about, the romance is doomed in the end.

      If Aerith dies, then everyone and their mother knows who she wants to meet again and it is not Zacky boy. Sorry to say, but it’s clear Aerith is in love with Cloud. She was infatuated with Zack at some point, but she fell in love with Cloud. Cloud and Aerith are the only true star-crossed lovers of the game, they have been since 1997. Part 3 will be Cloud and Aerith meeting at their place like the lyrics says “Till the day
      That we meet again
      At our place”.

    The Loveless section went so hard and then ended with this banger. Felt like nostalgia inside something new and I loved every second of it.

    And to think the BBC apparently turned this song down for Olly Alexander. Loren could have got a potential Eurovision win with this, guaranteed top 5 at least. The FF7 Rebirth momentum would have pushed this along big time too.

    So much can be read into this amazingly, beautiful, heartstring pulling vocal performance. Sending souls to the life stream, talking about her friends or even about Zack himself. Such beauty! Tears will forever run down my face everytime I hear this!

    sounds like Melodies Of Life + Eyes On Me, and some vibes of Celes singing in FFVI

      Celes' theme/opera inspired Aerith's theme. Celes is like a mix between Cecil from 4 and Aerith, I'd love to see 6 get a remake.
