My ex-girlfriend and close friend for over 15 years - who is very much like Aerith - similar kind and sweet personality, by co-incidence even looked and dressed quite similar - died a few days ago (by suicide). This song has become even more moving and poignant to me than it already was. It feels like life imitating art, which I guess is was happens sometimes by chance... we may likely encounter similar things in our own lives to the fiction we connect with the most. It is just likely that a sweet sensitive spiritual caring girl may end their life because of how sensitive they are... there are perhaps many Aeriths out there and many people grieving for the loss of their own equivalent in their own lives. Innocent gentle people who couldn't cope with how cruel the world is. Almost like the art world preparing us for the emotions of real life, which is what makes FFVII so well written and so special. She even said to me earlier this year 'if anything happens to me, don't blame yourself'... a very similar line to what Aerith says to Cloud in Rebirth. She's never even played FFVII. This track has already made me cry for 25 years, and now for me it echoes my real life and the passing of someone I loved. I will always come here to mourn her passing. RIP 😔❤

IDK how the original end, but pls bring back Aerith....................................Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cada vez que escucho la canción de aeris me da una cosilla por dentro..... AERIS SIEMPRE EN NUESTROS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That one dislike is from Satan himself!!!

Does anyone know where the original is at ?

This is proof This game didn't cook long enough and was rushed, voice acting could have easily made this game so much better. I wish pokemon would just take longer to cook, rather than rush us tasty cake batter that needed longer in the oven. I hope the next game in the franchise takes their time, even if it is postponed, mega evolutions returning is cool, I just hope it has voice acting, good story, and balanced out the game mechanics of megas.

i just fallin in love when Aerith meet Cloud in Church

This and Tifas theme are my safe spaces. So wonderful.

This song brings back many strong memories for me and now after my mother's death, they come with greater force, but it makes me feel happy and remember good times with someone who always wanted me happy!!! But still, I cry!!!

Here because of SMG4... Hearing this song, and realizing what it was... 😢

Aerith you deserve the world you were the best girl in final fantasy vii I will miss you truly and always 😢

every time i listen this song, i may be cry... so fantastic... amazing... and very saddd...

Ive recently lost my grandmother and i cant stop listening to this song and crying x

Thank You Holy Special Expressway

Aerith theme gives you a feeling of hope

Let's face it, you didn't cry when Aeris died: you cried when this started playing.

Absolutely beautiful and so powerful

"My fingers are tingling... My mouth is dry... My eyes are burning!"

Nobuo San only need three cords to make us cry like babys. What a legend.

Luffy

it literally filled my eyes with tears.

J'ai entendu cette musique pour la 1ere fois vers 7 8 ans. J'en ai 35 aujourd'hui et elle me bouleverse toujours autant. C'est de l'art ❤

I'm sorry, Aerith.. i miss you..

“Cloud: Lose what I cherish most?” It hits hard.

Just beat rebirth. I am not ok 😭

This sucks compared to the original. The original ost is based and nothing beats it not even the demake and debirth.

She is the IT of Final Fantasy, not just she saved the planet in the story, but she also saved the Final Fantasy franchise. Her character brought Final Fantasy to a new height that most games can't reach, and has marked our child hood permenately.

In this time, this music brings peace to my heart. When i go, i hope i hear this music. Thank you uematsu.

Play this at a funeral and I guarantee everyone will be in tears.

Excellent take

I'm not an expert in the world of final fantasy games, I saw my brothers playing these games when I was little in the 90s. However what I can say is that I felt romance between Cloud and Aerith, the way Cloud acts with her, it's clearly a feeling of affection and protection, for Aerith it's a bit the same, she doesn't want to leave him even if her mother forbids her (because I'm sure she heard her ask Cloud not to approach her anymore) In short, this musical theme is my favorite and which made me cry.

Can I find this version on Spotify?

This is not the saddest song in the world. But why my eyes always wet when i listen? Why this hits me so hard?

This, to me, is the best piece Nobuo Uematsu has ever created. The emotion this piece evoked from me so many years ago was powerful. I felt life, love and loss all in one moment. You had this character who spoke about the future more than any other character, loved pretty much everyone despite their faults, and embraced what the world was about for its value of beauty and life… Then it was all ripped away in a matter of seconds. She knew her destiny, but still chose to pretend that she would go on living. And then she reappears at the end, just to prove that life will always endure so long as we maintain hope. ❤️ This is why she’s become tied in second with Cloud for my favorite FF characters.

Still as beautiful as I remember ❤😢

I was looking for the version of Aerith's theme that played when Cloud held her right after Sephiroth's strike in Rebirth. This version sounds closest to that piece.

i´m no crying... you are crying...

Amazing! Thank you!

First I heard this from the movie.. I like it and lot..♥️♥️

this song makes me wanna cry.

This is truly one of the saddest songs ever written. I cry like a baby every time I hear this.

im criying

Every time I hear this song...😢❤

Man my dad bro and me wouldnt play the end of this game because we loved it so much we would wait like 4 months till play again then we said forget it lets start over without beating it

Aerith was like a princess if she were a princess

This song imprinted itself in my mind for the last 27 years. Breath-taking... This game shaped my adolescence. While other girls my age were losing their virginity, I was staying-up late trying to figure out how to save Aerith. I spent months replaying the game a second time to see if I could save her from Sephiroth's strike. The cut-scene never changed. In this way, it was like watching a Studio Gibli movie(like "Boy and the Heron")... Perhaps more so if they combined the games aesthetics with FF9 (another one of my favorite Final Fantasies). In 7...I leveled-up all my characters to 9999, got both ultimate weapons with the black chocobos. This game taught me the idea of certain things being written into the tapestry of our lives that are destined to happen. Kind of like the mother in "Boy and his Heron", near the end of the movie the mother revealed to her son that she knew she was going to be born and give birth to him, only to die in a fire during his youth. I was pretty traumatized by not having the ability, no matter how strong I got, to save Aerith. I'm hoping the creators of this remake give us die-hard fans the chance to save her as, for me, this was the most brutal death in character-building history of games... Given her kindness, natural beauty and loving nature (and hauntingly beautiful music score). Here's to hoping we get a chance to save Aerith! To me, she symbolizes Gaia (planet earth) itself! Perhaps we need to see her die again to realize we need to give a $h!t about how we care for others and this world?

It just came to my realization that Aerith looks just like my wife!!! 😮😂😢

My wife is basically Aerith. Im really lucky. Lol

It's been 27 years, cloud might be able to save her this time.
