Heya fluff-lovers! I realised that we have lots of threads with lyrics, but how many of us actually manage to find the song after that. Plus I wanted to try out eSnips! Just search for your song (top right-hand corner) and paste the link to the song so everyone can have a listen. Any song you can think of that you feel relates to Cloud and Aerith will do. This is really meant as a feel-good thread for background music as you browse the other threads in the forum. ^_^ The jukeboxes are also available on the new Devotion website. Lyrics are optional but would be preferred!

:pro:***Note: Please use eSnips links only. I cannot add the songs to the existing playlists otherwise.***

If you find that your song no longer exists on eSnips, please post the link to a working eSnips file and let me know which Cleris Jukebox the song is supposed to be in. Thank you!
:cheer:

Here's the full playlist for you guys to listen to. For those of you here to look up lyrics, all songs in playlists are in the order that they have been posted, with a few exceptions here and there. Post below or PM if I've left out any songs by accident.

Cleris Jukebox

Edit: Because all of you should just quit your day jobs and go be DJs. Here are more playlists:
Cleris Jukebox II ~ For softer, mellow songs.
Cleris Jukebox III ~ For songs in languages besides English.
Cleris Jukebox IV ~ For heavy metal or rock songs.
Cleris Jukebox V ~ For Pop or soft rock songs.
Cleris Jukebox VI ~ Second playlist for softer, mellow songs.
Cleris Jukebox VII ~ Second playlist for Pop or soft rock songs.


So let's get the ball rolling! Just heard this song the other day, thought it was really pretty. It reminds me of the end of AC when Cloud finally sees Aerith. And the line that goes, "If it's a dream, don't wake me up" is what Cloud said after the Temple of the Ancients! Hope you guys like it:
Faith Hill - Lost

Quote:
 
Faith Hill - Lost
Is it obvious to you
When you walk into a room
Your face is all I see
And my heart races so fast
I never knew a rush to feel like that
Every time you're touching me

I never did believe in anything
I couldn't hold between my fingers
But the way you make me feel
It's just so real the way it lingers

[Chorus]
I get lost inside your stare
Lost when you're not there
When everything I have doesn't mean a thing
If it's without you
If it's a dream, don't wake me up
I'll scream if this isn't love
If bein' lost means never knowin'
How it feels without you
I wanna stay lost forever
I wanna stay lost forever with you

No, this feeling doesn't end
It's with me everywhere I am
Hope it never goes away
It's like defying gravity
Losin' all control and bein' free
And I always wanna stay

I never thought that I'd let go
Long enough to fall for someone deeply
Who had the power to erase my fears
And find me so completely

[Chorus]

Don't tell me where we're goin'
I don't wanna know
I like the mystery
I can't believe we've come this far
So far away from where we started off
You found me when I wasn't lookin'
You found me

And now I'm lost inside your stare
Lost when you're not there
And everything I have doesn't mean a thing
If it's without you
Without you
If it's a dream
Don't wake me up
I'll scream if this isn't love
If bein' lost means never knowin'
How it feels without you
Yeah, if bein' lost means never knowin'
How it feels without you
Oh, if bein' lost means that I'm never
Gonna be without you
I wanna stay lost forever
I wanna stay lost forever with you

Wow, what a great idea!

Here's one I posted the lyrics to a short while ago. I think it's perfect for the darker and more haunting side of Cleris!

Ghost of a Rose

Quote:
 
Ghost of a Rose - Blackmore's Night

The valley green was so serene
In the middle ran a stream so blue...
A maiden fair, in despair, once had met her true love there and she told him...
She would say...

"Promise me, when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

Her eyes believed in mysteries
She would lay amongst the leaves of amber
Her spirit wild, heart of a child, yet gentle still and quiet and mild and he loved her
When she would say...

"Promise me, when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

When all was done, she turned to run
Dancing to the setting sun as he watched her
And ever more he thought he saw
A glimpse of her upon the moors forever
He'd hear her say...

"Promise me, when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

Here's another favourite of mine, Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill. This used to be my major Cleris song a couple of years ago (I even wrote a fanfic based on it), and even now it still seems like such a strong and beautiful Clerisy song. Enjoy!

Quote:
 
Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me.
It's you and me won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
Say, if I only could, oh...

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me won't be unhappy.

"C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh..."

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems...

"If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill."


Enjoy the songs! :gift:

Hi, HB! ^_^ The instrumental opening for "Ghost of a Rose" reminded me of that ol' Romeo & Juliet movie. That scene in the Capulet Ball where they were dancing... Maybe it's the guitar. ^_^

Snow Patrol - Signal Fire

Quote:
 
Snow Patrol - Signal Fire
The perfect words never crossed my mind
'Cause there was nothing in there but you
I felt every ounce of me screaming out
But the sound was trapped deep in me

All I wanted just sped right past me
While I was rooted fast to the earth
I could be stuck here for a thousand years
Without your arms to drag me out

There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close 'cause I need you to guide me to safety

No I won't wait forever
No I won't wait forever

In the confusion and the aftermath
You are my signal fire
The only resolution and the only joy
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes

There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close 'cause I need you to guide me to safety
(repeat)

No I won't wait forever
No I won't wait forever
No I won't wait forever...


This next song I heard from Grey's Anatomy (back when I still loved it XD). Why did they kill my Denny, why?!! :sad: This is for Cleris angst. Someone please enlighten me as to why the title is "Swans". :lol:
Unkle Bob - Swans

Quote:
 
Unkle Bob - Swans
By my side you'll never be
By my side you'll never be
'Cause I'm fake at the seams
Lost in my dreams
And i want you to know
That I can't let you go

And you're never comin' home again
And you're never comin' home again

By my side you'll never be
By my side you'll never be 
You'll never be
I wanted to tell you I changed
I wanted to tell you that things would be different this time
I see you, you see me differently
I see you, you see me differently
You tell me that you love me but you never wanna see me again (x4)

Love that site! It helps me look for obscure songs that I'd never find on Youtube!
Hee, that's the second Clerisy song that I've heard from Snow Patrol!
And Ghost of a Rose is so gorgeous, HB. Know any more songs like that? I love the dark fairytale-esque feel to it.

Quote:

Oh!
Clorith, am not 100% sure about this, but this is my interpretation.:I once read this article about a couple that kept a pair of swans in their pond. When the female died, the male swan got so lonely that they thought of giving him another female swan; but a friend of the couple strongly advised them against it. Because almost all swans 'mate for life' and it was up to the male swan to fend for itself, without the other.
That song's about one lover losing another...so I think that's what "Swans" means :sad:

Oh that makes sense! Yeah I think I'm starting to recall some foggy memory about swans mating for life too. *blows nose on tissue* :wub: Yay, someone should go draw a pair of Cleris swans. ^_^ Kusari Yarou, share some songs! :cleris:

Since we're on the topic of obscure songs:
Natalie Merchant - My Skin
It's kinda soft so you'll have to turn it way up. Dark and twisty Cleris.

Quote:
 
Natalie Merchant - My Skin
Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here that I don't understand
Your face says these promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
Because I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
Well content loves the silence
It thrives in the dark
With fine winding tendrils
That strangle the heart
They say that promises sweeten the blow
But I don't need them, no
I don't need them
I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
I'm the slow dying flower
In the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour and untouchable

Oh, I need the darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this
I need a lullaby
A kiss good night
Angel sweet love of my life
Oh, I need this
I'm the slow dying flower
In the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour and untouchable

Do you remember the way that you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness I loved and adored
Your face saying promised whispered like prayers
I don't need them

Oh, I need the darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this
I need a lullaby
A kiss good night
Angel sweet love of my life
Oh, I need this
Well is it dark enough
Can you see me
Do you want me
Can you reach me
Oh, I'm leaving
You better shut your mouth
And hold your breath
And kiss me now
And catch your death
Oh, I mean this
Oh, I mean this



I heard this song while watching a pretty Cleris video on YouTube:
Michelle Tumes - Lovely

Quote:
 
Michelle Tumes - Lovely
You're the sweet dreams that soothe me
When I can't fall asleep
You're the field
In the middle of the city
When I'm rushing by
At the speed of light

You're the strong resolution
When I find no peace
You're the church bells ringing
In the evening
When all is quiet
Your whisper comfort
Lifts my heart
I get so weak

[Chorus]
Ohhh.... You're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my Universe (my Universe)
A thousand times
I look around me and I find...
Ohh... you're lovely, lovely
You're the center of my Universe (my Universe)
A million ways
Cannot explain
You're lovely

You're the soft words that touch me
When I just can't speak
You're the breeze on the ocean
In the morning
Reminding me
To greet the day

You're the flowers I remember
Seeing in Italy
Colours through
A golden haze
Bright and radiant
Soft and fragrant
In the noon day sun
It's made me see

[Chorus]

I understand...
There may be grief
and there may be pain.
But I am aware
You blind the darkness
with who you are
Because...

[Chorus]

It's actually one of my favourite songs, so I'm glad you liked it! :D All of Blackmore's Night's material is very similar to this, very traditional and folkish and I'd definitely recommend their work. You can find this song (and many other lovely ones) on their album "Ghost of a Rose" if you're interested. For more folkish stuff, I'd recommend giving The Strawbs, Joan Baez, Loreena McKennit, Katy Carr or Carina Round's early stuff a try. Also if you're looking for some really *dark* fairy-tale material, I'd suggest looking at anything by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (especially albums like "No More Shall We Part", "Murder Ballads" and "The Good Son") or maybe PJ Harvey's album "To Bring You My Love". Another I'd recommend a million times is the album "Treasure" by Cocteau Twins!

Hope all that was helpful! ^_^

Anyway, I'm making a pretty big contribution today, so please bear with me! :gift:

First of all, one of the most obvious and well-known Cleris songs out there! I'm sure we've all thought of this one, or heard of it, at some point...

Goo-Goo Dolls - Iris

*swoons from Cleris overload*

Quote:
 
Goo-Goo Dolls - Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life.
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand,
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am.

I just want you to know who I am,
I just want you to know who I am,
I just want you to know who I am.


And now for something a little older, here's Lynn Anderson - Rose Garden. When I hear this song, I can't help think of Aeris (or her spirit) giving a mopey Cloud a gentle smack upside the head and a push in the right direction. And I think the song's attitude is so very Aeris too! Enjoy!

Quote:
 
Lynn Anderson - Rose Garden

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,
Or let go-oh-whoa-whoa-whoa,
I beg your pardon!
I never promised you a rose garden.

I could promise you things like big diamond rings,
But you don't find roses growing on stalks of clover.
So you better think it over.

Well, if sweet-talking you could make it come true,
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter,
But what would it matter?

So smile for a while and let's be jolly,
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon,
But if that's what it takes to hold you,
I'd just as soon let you go.
But there's one thing I want you to know...

You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,
And there won't always be someone there
To pull you out.
And you know what I'm talking about...

So smile for a while and let's be jolly,
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.


Here's another oldie-but-a-goody number that inspires very cute Clerisy thoughts in my brain:

La's - There She Goes

Quote:
 
La's - There She Goes

There she goes
There she goes again,
Racing through my brain...
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains.

There she goes
There she goes again.
Pulsing through my veins...
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains.

There she goes,
There she goes again.
She calls my name,
She pulls my train,
No one else could heal my pain.
But I just can't contain
This feeling that remains.

There she goes
There she goes again,
Chasing down my lane...
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains.

There she goes
(There she goes again)
There she goes
(There she goes again)
There she goes...


Here's another simple song, but a little more strange and atmospheric this time:

Lush - Love At First Sight

Quote:
 
Lush - Love At First Sight

I was waiting at the station
When your train came in,
Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for
But you gave me a grin.

Felt my heart in my throat,
Felt my soul going out to you.
Could this be love at first sight?
I just didn't know.

I was waiting at the station
When your train came in,
Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for
But you gave me a grin.

Felt my heart in my throat,
Felt my soul going out to you.
Could this be love at first sight?
I just didn't know.

I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know.

Don't you feel insecure
All about your love for me?
There's nothing I adore
More than a fake ugly day.


This next one strikes me as more Cloud-centric, but there's enough yummy and adorable Clerisness in it to merit me adding it. Makes me think of Cloud's thoughts and feelings throughout AC.

Melanie C - Feel the Sun

Quote:
 
Melanie C - Feel the Sun

These thoughts can be evil and they often deceive
Gotta believe that I can overcome.
My fears are the worst and they always return,
I never learn. Feel like I don't belong.

Lost in the wreckage of a million bad dreams
Hard to function, I just need some routine.
God, it's obscene. When did they stop the fun?

I knew that something must be done
To save the person I'd become.
That's why I had to run away...

Feel the sun
Waves crash like my emotion
Life has begun,
Now I will be safe from the storm.
I found the one,
This angel's my salvation.
I'm feeling strong,
You will be there if I fall.

Guilt is no use, it will tarnish your soul.
Just let it go,
The battle will soon be won.

Cold in the shadow of who I should be
There's a fire burning deep inside me
Helping me see, only I hold the key.

And now I stand here unafraid
Proud of everything I've made.
That's why I had to run away...

Feel the sun
Waves crash like my emotion.
Life has begun,
Now I will be safe from the storm.
I found the one,
This angel's my salvation.
I'm feeling strong,
You will be there if I fall.

There's so much energy
At last I can be free.
I am the person I was looking for.

Feel the sun
Waves crash like my emotion.
Life has begun,
Now I will be safe from the storm.
I found the one,
This angel's my salvation.
I'm feeling strong,
I'll never fall
You are there when I call.


And now, yet more BritPop! Woohoo! This time, it's Dido and this song has everything - gorgeous and sweeping music, emotion, an attitude reminiscent of Aeris', sweetness and light touches of sexiness, and lots of hand-reach action! :fangirl:

Dido - Take My Hand

Quote:
 
Dido - Take My Hand

Touch my skin
And tell me what you're thinking,
Take my hand
And show me where we're going.
Lie down next to me,
Look into my eyes
And tell me, oh tell me what you're seeing.

So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling
What you feel is what I feel for you.

Take my hand,
And if I'm lying to you...
I'll always be alone
If I'm lying to you.

See my eyes
They carry your reflection,
Watch my lips
And hear the words I'm telling you.
Give your trust to me
Look into my heart,
And show me, show me what you're doing.

So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling
What you feel is what I feel for you.

Take my hand,
And if I'm lying to you...
I'll always be alone
If I'm lying to you.

Take your time,
And if I'm lying to you...
I know you'll find
That you believe me.

You believe me
You believe me
You believe me.

Feel the sun
On your face
And tell me what you're thinking.
Catch the snow
On your tongue
And show me how it tastes.

Take your time...

Take my hand,
And if I'm lying to you...
I'll always be alone
If I'm lying to you.

Take your time,
And if I'm lying to you...
I know you'll find
That you believe me.

Take my hand,
And if I'm lying to you...
I'll always be alone
If I'm lying to you.

Take your time,
And if I'm lying to you...
I know you'll find
That you believe me.

You believe me
You believe me
You believe me.
You believe me.
You believe me.


This is another one I imagine as being said from Aeris' perspective. I love the idea of it dealing with her feelings, her relationship with Cloud, and her duty towards the Planet. And having to say goodbye and give up what she wants most in life. Basically, I like this one a LOT.

Cocteau Twins - Rilkean Heart

Quote:
 
Cocteau Twins - Rilkean Heart

Rilkean heart,
I looked for you
To give me transcendent experiences.

To transport me out of self and aloneness
And alienation
Into a sense of oneness and connection ecstatic
And magical,
I became a junkie for it.

I came looking for the next high
And I'm sorry
I've been putting the search on the wrong place.

I understand that you're confused,
Feeling overwhelmed.
Well, that's a feeling state from then,
The reality that comes.

Cleaning up my emotional life
And I'm getting in touch with myself
And beginning to ground myself in my own sense of being
As an entity,
One entity on the planet.

Becoming truly self-reliant
And become connected
With something beyond me.

That is where I have to go,
I'm so sorry
I've been putting the search on the wrong place.

You're lost and don't know what to do
But that's not all of you.
That's your reality today,
And that is all okay.

I understand that you're confused,
Feeling overwhelmed
Well, that's a feeling state from then,
The reality.

You're lost and don't know what to do
But that's not all of you.
That's your reality today,
But now it's all okay.

I understand that you're confused,
Feeling overwhelmed
Well, that's a feeling state from then,
The reality of love.


Last but not least: the ULTIMATE fluffy and feelgood Cleris song! To hear it is to love it!

Cowsills - The Rain, The Park, And Other Things

Quote:
 
Cowsills - The Rain, The Park, And Other Things

I saw her sitting in the rain,
Raindrops falling on her.
She didn't seem to care,
She sat there and smiled at me.

Then I knew
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She could make me happy
(Happy, happy)
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere!

I love the flower girl,
Oh, I don't know just why
She simply caught my eye.
I love the flower girl,
She seemed so sweet and kind
She crept into my mind.
To my mind...

I knew I had to say hello
(Hello, hello)
She smiled up at me,
And she took my hand
And we walked through the park alone.

And I knew
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She had made me happy
(Happy, happy)
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere!

I love the flower girl,
Oh, I don't know just why
She simply caught my eye.
I love the flower girl,
She seemed so sweet and kind
She crept into my mind.
To my mind...

Suddenly the sun broke through
(See the sun)
I turned around, she was gone
(Where did she go?)
And all I had left
Was one little flower from her hair.

But I knew
(I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She had made me happy
(Happy, happy)
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere!

I love the flower girl,
Was she reality or just a dream to me?
I love the flower girl,
Well, love showed me the way to find a sunny day.
Sunny day...

I love the flower girl,
Was she reality or just a dream to me?


Hope everyone liked these! Let me know if you did! :cleris:

Wow, thanks for all the songs, HB! I really like the Mel C and Lynn Anderson songs! :fangirl: And I'm so used to the Sixpence None the Richer version of "There She Goes" that La's version was really refreshing, even though it's the original. :lol: I love Brit Pop too, listen to Virgin and Capitol online somtimes!

aerithlove527, yeah, totally agree!! I can just picture the chorus in my head with Cloud and Aerith smiling at each other in the AC church ending. C'mon, post a song, any song! :D

Some more songs from moi:

Someone posted this in Devotion a looong time ago, so I thought I'd spread the love!
Jessica Simpson - I Have Loved You

Quote:
 
Jessica Simpson - I Have Loved You
Remember that blue crystal sky
The sun reflected in your eyes
Kissed me unexpectedly
A moment I just can't forget
We filled the air with promises
Took them up so tenderly
But life never asks you what you want
It's just gonna have its way
Sometimes it doesn't give like it takes

If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
And tomorrow never happens, baby
If the world comes tumbling down
And crumbles all around us
Fate turns cruel
You're on your knees
So desperate for one truth
Know that I have loved you

Don't think I'll write another letter
Or watch another pink sunset
Without thinking about you
I take a walk along the blue seaside
How will I sleep at night
How will I wipe the tears from your eyes

If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
And tomorrow never happens, baby
If the world comes tumbling down
And crumbles all around us
Fate turns cruel
You're on your knees
So desperate for one truth
Know that I have loved you

Without a single hesitation
Without thought or reservation
Baby, I'll be waiting

Even if I never see your face
And wings take you away from me
And tomorrow never happens, baby
If the world comes tumbling down
And crumbles all around us
Fate turns cruel
You're on your knees
So desperate for one truth
Know that I have loved you

I have loved you

If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
With all my heart and all my soul
The world comes tumbling down
And crumbling all around
I have loved you

If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
I have loved you


This next song I stumbled on in the Heroes fandom, but I think it's a very "Cloud" song, too!
Dishwalla - Angels or Devils

Quote:
 
Dishwalla - Angels Or Devils
This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna come here tonight
This is the last time - I will fall
Into a place that fails us all the time

I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
But fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
And are we ever
Are we ever gonna learn to fly
The devils they burn inside of us
And are we ever gonna come back down
Come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna give in tonight
Are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear to see

Well I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you
And fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
And are we ever
Are we ever gonna learn to fly
The devils they burn inside of us
And are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us

If I was to give in - give it up - and then
Take a breath - make it deep
'Cause it might be the last one you get
Be the last one
That could make us cold
Can make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold


For something dark and depressing version of the flower field scene. XD
U2 - One

Quote:
 
U2 - One
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame

You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers

One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One.


And one for fluff!
Switchfoot - On Fire

Quote:
 
Switchfoot - On Fire
Tell you where you need to go
Tell you when you’ll need to leave
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you’ve heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

You’re on fire
When he’s near you
You’re on fire
When he speaks
You’re on fire
Burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything you are
Give me one more chance to be... (near you)

When everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I’ll take

When I’m on fire
When you’re near me
I’m on fire
When you speak
And I’m on fire
Burning at these mysteries
These mysteries...

I'm standing on the edge of me (x4)
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before
And I've been standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge

And I'm on fire
When you're near me
I'm on fire
When you speak
Yeah I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries...
These mysteries (x2)
Yeah you're a mystery, you're a mystery...

Glad you liked them! :fangirl:

Here's a couple more, all of them Cloud-angst... :lol:

The Cure - Lovesong

Quote:
 
The Cure - Lovesong

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again,
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again.

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again,
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again.

However far away,
I will always love you
However long I stay,
I will always love you
Whatever words I say,
I will always love you
I will always love you.

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again,
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again.

However far away,
I will always love you,
However long I stay,
I will always love you
Whatever words I say,
I will always love you
I will always love you.


This next one is straight-up self-destructive Cloud-centric angst with plenty of Clerisy hints - My Chemical Romance - The Ghost of You.

Quote:
 
My Chemical Romance - The Ghost of You

I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try.

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever...
Ever...

Get the feeling that you're never...
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies.

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me.

If I fall
If I fall (down)

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
Never coming home
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna...


A sweeter one now: Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars. What is it about Snow Patrol and Clerisy songs? ^_^

Quote:
 
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own.

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone.

If I lay here
If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel.

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough.

If I lay here
If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old,
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads.

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own.

If I lay here
If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old,
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see.

I don't know where
Confused about how as well,
Just know that these things will never change for us at all.

If I lay here
If I just lay here,
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Can I read(*jumping)??it's a good song and it'll be wonderful to read fics with that song singing around~~ :blush:

Sure! Here it is! ^_^

Thanks HB !! You know what? I've read this novel before! :lmao: It's the end of Jun. and I was surffing from the Internet, looking for some great FF7 fanfics to read. I forgot which site I found the linkage though~(I even printed it out from school printer cuz my PC was broken at that time :D )
Anyway it's very beautiful! My special love is the part when Aerith gives him a warm sudden hug and "how taken aback Cloud was by her gesture...." :cleris: cuz it's so Cloudy style to show shyness!!

I also like all the songs you&Clorith posted ubove!! All good Clerisy songs ever! :huggle:

HB, love that MCR song! I remember feeling very amused when I watched the music video and they were dancing in a church. Oh wait, or was that for "Helena"? :lol: Love that The Cure song too. I've loved "Friday I'm in Love" since I heard it playing in "50 First Dates", one of my fav Drew Barrymore movies! :fangirl:

Oh yeah, forgot to add this the last time. Love that Cowsills song. Someone posted it in Devotion, but he/she said it was called "I Love the Flowergirl". :lol: And I realise I've used the word "love" very excessively. :lol:

Oh yes, absolutely. "Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see" is so Cleris! But alas, I can no longer listen to that song. Everytime it plays all I can see is my poor dead Grey's Anatomy Denny lying on the hospital bed with Izzie in her pink evening gown. :sad: And since we're talking about Snow Patrol, let's not forget their ultimate Cleris song, "Run"!
Snow Patrol - Run

Quote:
 
Snow Patrol - Run
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess


Oh and I decided to compile everything into a playlist. Listen here.

Oh!! Yeah that sounds like a cool idea! ^_^ Which is why you guys should post more songs!! :lol: Yeah, I think we've convinced ourselves that Snow Patrol has a Cleris muse. :P

Something light and fluffy:
The Corrs - Angel

Quote:
 
The Corrs - Angel
She lived like she knew nothing lasts
Didn't care to look like anyone else
And she was beautiful, so beautiful
I still hear her laugh like she's here

Shower it down on all the young
It isn't so wrong to have such fun

Forever angel
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
(I'll be proud to be like you)

Does the sun shine up at you when you are looking down?
Do you get along with the others around?

It's got to be better than before
You don't need to worry now you're gone

Forever angel
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
Just like you

And when I go to sleep at night
I'll thank you for each blessed thing sorrounding me
For every fall I'll ever break
Each moment's breath I wanna taste
Confidence and conscience
Decadent extravagance
Never ending providence
For loving when I had the chance

Angel
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
I'll be proud to be like you

This is an awesome idea! Expect me to be in here often to put up Within Temptation and Evanescence songs. ^_^
Really, any song I listen to now, I try to see if it fits Cloud and Aerith. I'm so pathetic. xD

Within Temptation - Somewhere

Quote:
 
Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign
Instead there is only silence
Can't you hear my screams?
Never stop hoping
Need to know where you are
But one thing is for sure
You're always in my heart

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul

Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home
I want to embrace you and never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven so no one can hurt your soul
Living in agony cause I just do not know
Where you are

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul

Wherever you are, I won't stop searching
Whatever it takes, I need to know

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened
The truth will free my soul
