"Cloud Smiles" is one of the songs in the AC soundtrack (if you wanna hear it, I can send it via AIM). If you listen even semi-closely, you can tell that Aerith's theme is tied into the song... maybe suggesting that Aerith was the one who showed Cloud true happiness? I dunno, I thought it was interesting though.

Funny how they keep dropping Cloud/Aerith hints everywhere. n.n

Whoa!!! :lmao: So we're not the only ones who noticed Aerith's theme in there!! Hoorah, you can hear it too!!

Yep yep, Cloud's most beautiful smile in the movie is given to Aerith. :cleris:

I've listened to that song over and over again, but still I cant hear where it's at...am I just deaf LOL? Can someone give me some kind of idea where it's at? Even if you can tell me what they are doing in the movie at that point i.e. She's walking away, or turning around to talk to him...

I CANT HEAR IT! *cries*

Yes, an idea would be nice. :D I swear I've listened to it over and over and can't find what you guys are talking about. Eep! :unsure:

Have you heard the vocalised version of Aerith's Theme? Pure Heart? Anyway, it's the line that goes "Kiekaketa atsui omoi", it plays slightly slower in Cloud Smiles, but if you hum along, you'll definitely catch it. It's the main tune in Cloud Smiles, plays at the beginning and as Aerith walks away at the end. :cleris:

i wub that song in there so pretty if anyone remebers in a magazine normra said that cloud smiles is the best part of the movie...and so it is :cleris: = :fangirl:

thank you! I'll definately be sure to listen for it! ^_^

I do love that song as well. It's so pretty, and very touching. Makes me cry.

I finally heard it!!!!!! I was at work and it came on my iPod. I started crying right there, LOL good thing no one was near me, it was rather embarrassing. XD

Haha, whenever I hear it I can see the whole ending of AC playing in my head. I can remember it clearly XD

It is interesting how many songs in AC are related to Aerith. Aerith's Theme appears alone and it also plays during the Bahamut battle scene and during the End Credits. Water is another song that is all about Aerith, only playing when her presence is felt. And then there are the overtones of Aerith's Theme in Cloud Smiles. By contrast, Tifa's Theme appears only once. Who was the heroine of this movie, again? :whistle:

I completely agree with you!

could someone post exactly where i could hear it? ex: 3:11. XD I could feel its there but I need to hear it exactly.

Zomg pwn'd.

Honestly, there's no "Hahaha, I luv Teefa, soz I'ma gunna smilez" song...

Can we say, blatent hinting, anyone? :lol:

there's like two parts (different parts) in clouds theme where you can here Aerith's theme..if not more. :cleris:

Your totally right! Cloud did smile at the end, so beautifully too! :D The song definatly has a big connection to Aeris's theme. i like was in tears at the end. It hit me sooo hard. :sad:

Sorry to answer you so late. You hear it right at the beginning, listen to the piano, and then when the other instrument starts to play, that first cascade is part of Aerith's Theme. I believe the tempo is the same as well. Just try to hum along if it's possible for you to do so.

I never really took notice of it! WAH! Thank you so much for sharing! Now I'm in uber-Cleris-fluff mode. :D

Yup I agree, n in Pure heart lyric the whole paragraph suppose to be
"Kiekaketa atsui omoi
Mou ichido mune no naka de
Kagayaki yureru"

n translated:
The passionate feelings
That were beginning to vanish
Once again sway
In radiance in my chest

I wonder is there any meaning they put it in "Cloud smiles"? Seem like the same feeling as Cloud at that scene... :lol:

Yess!! I can hear it too!

After all of this.. how come there are still Cloti fans out there?!?!
I will never understand..

:cleris: :cleris: :cleris:

lol well no matter how much Cleris proof there is I don't think most of them will ever see it. No offense to any Cloti's but they would probably tried to argue it even if they heard it come from final fantasy VII creators themselves.

I always thought the piece was massively Clerith just due to the fact that the highlight of the song happens when Aerith is sighted. I was taught that music tells a story, and that you can pretty much read the emotion by listening to the notes. Or so my choir master said, she's as eclectic as can be, so...but there is truth to what she says. No matter who you are, you cannot deny that the climax of the song is when Cloud sees her. It's as though his heart then stopped when he saw Aerith and then gently began to beat again as she turned to look at him, and confirm that he is all right again. You can even feel the gentle sadness in the notes when she turns to walk away--but, he's all right now--he's not alone anymore--and the song ends with the normal strength.

It's strange explaining, I'm sure, but I'm sure if you think about it, you'll understand. :cleris:

I totally get what you're saying, and you're right. The first time I heard that song, I was at the Dear Friends concert in Detroit. I closed my eyes and just listened to it...it seemed so sad..and I thought Cloud was gonna kick the bucket LOL. But yes...Uematsu did a fantastic job with that peice. And why not include Aerith's Theme into it? It's definately his favorite theme (I think he actually stated that was his favorite peice), so it'd be hard to imagine that he wouldn't incorporate it into 'Cloud Smiles'.

It'd be kinda cool if they would put some vocals into that...I mean, we FEEL how we think Cloud feels, but if they put some lyrics in there, we'd definately know how Cloud feels.

Ahh, you're so lucky you got to go to that concert! Did they play anything from FFIX? :D

And yes, even just listening to 'Cloud Smiles', choir student or not, you can tell the emphasis was placed on Cloud and Aerith interacting. As far as I'm concerned, Squeenix has pushed Cloud/Aerith in every possible sense save for smell and taste unless you want to use the Coca Cola promo figures for that. XD

As for lyrics--hell, we got those in "Calling", remember? ;D

Also interesting to note--the song 'End Credits'. The Cloti's have claimed that the main theme is "Cloud's theme", right? Well guess which three songs kinda make up End Credits?

The Main/Cloud's theme
Aerith's theme
Pure Heart (I think...at first I thought it was the ending theme from FF9 XD)

What does that say, folks? ;D

I believe they played "You're Not Alone" from FFIX...dunno, because I've never actually PLAYED FFIX...

The three songs that are actually played are: FFVII Main Theme, Aerith's Theme, and Dear Friends (which is played at the end of every FF game.) Just remember the FFVII Main Theme isn't Cloud's Theme...Cloud never really got a theme song (poor Cloudie) in the original game, but now I'd have to say that Cloud Smiles would be his theme song. I remember that people like to point out to CloTi fans that like to say in the final FMV that they play Cloud and Tifa's theme one right after the other, so they're cannon...blah blah blah...

I'll be it was a smack in the face to the rabids when they heard Aerith's Theme in Cloud Smiles...or maybe not...I doubt they listen to Aerith's Theme often.

Ahh, thought so. Thanks for the heads up on "Dear Friends".

Anyhow, I was just saying, since the Cloti's were so big on saying the main theme was Cloud's theme, wouldn't it be funny that they'd have to eat crow because if what they were saying about Tifa's theme playing equals canon love, then what must 'Cloud Smiles' and 'End Credits' mean then? :whistle:

Btw, here's the link for the piano version of "You're Not Alone":

Enjoy! :D

This....is probably my favorite song in the entire movie. It so clearly proved that he loved Aerith and not Tifa. :wub: so cute and sweet.

Wow, I heard the ending theme. Cloud's Theme, Aerith's Theme and Sephiroth's Theme. :D No Tifa's Theme in there :giggle:

Omg.. You're right. :fangirl:
Listened to both just now. So cool. :D

Yes, the theme is Cleris! i really like it...so sad...and when aeris smiles at cloud and then she walk away you can hear aerith theme clearly :D

sorry clotis

and one more thing: the special ff7 a version, with the 3 cd, it shows sefirot, cloud and aeris in each :whistle: i wounder why

I have the same feeling like this!!!! At that moment, I'm sure that he looks a little sad after Aerith turns away :cry:
He smiles at the very end cuz he then knows that she will be always with him~
Aerith's theme appears very briefly but I'm so touched~~~~~ :wub:

sorry but i dont findthe similarity between pure heart and cloud smile...could you explian me? :o
