Grandma passed away recently, she was the most sweetest woman anybody would ever met, this piece just reminds me of her passion for all that she loved, I started playing FF7 when she got sick and I can't help but think of her, I miss her dearly :(

This song always makes Me cry. It is the most beautiful song but also sad, but also triumphant… i dont think there is any other song that ive ever heard that quite captures the soul of a character quite like this does.

This song... This song is about loss. It's about grief. It's about the absence someone's death leaves in the lives of their loved ones. It's about all that, but most importantly, it's about moving forward while carrying those we lost in our hearts.

I remember playing FF7 as a middle school aged kid and this song brought me to tears back then. There isn't a time I've listened to it since than that it hasn't done the same thing. I have no way of expressing my love for this piece other than tears. This is truly a masterpiece in not only video game music, but music as a grand whole. The talent involved here is epic.

There are Christian themes hidden throughout the game involving her. Even her prayer for Holy is like a fulfillment of Daniel Chapter 10. The prayer of Daniel was heard by God on the FIRST day and the angel was sent with God 's response but the demonic principality behind the King of Persian resisted the angel and the answer couldn't get through until Archangel Michael assisted, enabling the prayer to be answered. This very thing happened with the Holy Materia when Aerith prayed for it before she died. Later in the game, when Cloud and company return to the City of Ancients with the Music Box key, they learn that Holy was glowing when Aerith died, but Sephiroth is holding back the answer. In the final battle with Bizarro Sephiroth, you see Holy trapped behind him. Like Michael, Cloud has to fight to allow Holy to answer Aerith's prayer. It's WILD! Christ is King!

Thank you so so very much for making this lifelong fan weep uncontrollably and msking me miss all the moments that i attribute to every playthrough!

Since I'm guessing you've probably never conducted yourself, you can't possibly understand the feeling of being one with the music as it flows through you.

sephiroth was only able to be defeated because aerith died and was able to summon the lifestream to save the earth from meteor. sephiroth knows this. in the remake/rebirth sequel he is back, with all the knowledge he gathered about the events that will unfold. he even talks to us the player, he even shows us the possible future, trying to manipulate us and cloud. aerith needs to survive - and she will because the whispers are defeated. now nothing is preventing the change of the timeline anymore. zack is already alive in an alternate reality, and when realities collapse maybe we will be able to fight against a different jenova / sephiroth in the end with zack and aerith in our party. times are gonna be crazy.
