I'm not sure how I lived without hearing this song. It's just beautiful, and it strongly reminds me of CloudxAeris. It's by The Postal Service:
I'll be the grapes fermented
Bottled and served with the table set
In my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman
I'll be the fire escape
That's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day
I'll be the waterwings
That save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink
I'll be the phonograph
That plays your favorite albums back
As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep . . .
I'll be the platform shoes
And undo what heredity's done to you
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes
I'll be your winter coat
Buttoned and zipped straight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch cold
I want to take you far
From the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut our bodies free
From the tethers of this scene
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change
We'll give ourselves new names
(Identities erased)
The sun will heat the ground
Under our bare feet
In this brand new colony
Everything will change, ooo ooo . . .
It's very upbeat and sung beautifully. They also have another song, Be Still My Heart, which has one stanza that just sums up CloudxAeris for me:
And then I felt the scrapes
From the slippery subway grate
Oh how you laughed at my complete lack of grace
But I could not recall
A more perfect fall
Because when I looked up into your eyes
It didn't hurt at all
The 'Be Still My Heart' song really reminds me of when Cloud fell like thousands of feet and landed in the church. And he got up like it was nothing. But that song is so perfect for that first (wouldn't be exactly first more like second) meeting of Cloud and Aerith. Very good find.
Thanks. :D And I was just thinking that the other day too, about "Be Still My Heart".
