Aerith Songs

I think this song from Nightmare Before Christmas matches Aerith very well.

"Sally's song" - The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last

And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

To be honest, I think Sally song is more a Tifa song... because Sally sings that she's not the one, that she will never be with Jack and Tifa is supposed to be that kind of woman who is left behind by a man. Even her own theme song is melancholic (somehow, Tifa's theme makes me think of Adieu from Cowboy Bebop, a song about a one sided love).

I have some Aerith songs :

Flowers - Emilie Simon

i want to buy you flowers
it's such a shame you're a boy
but when you are not a girl
nobody buys you flowers

i want to buy you flowers
and now i'm standing in the shop
i must confess i wonder
if you will like my flowers

you are so sweet and i'm so alone
oh darling please
tell me you're the one
i'll buy you flowers
i'll buy you flowers
like not other girl did before

you were so sweet and i was in love
oh darling don't tell me
you found another girl
forget the flowers
because the flowers
never last for ever
never last for ever
never last for ever
my love

This song made me think of young Aerith when she was Zack's girlfriend (and how she thought he was a flirt)... and the end of the song could be about Aerith's own death (if I wanted to make an amv with this song, I think I would adress Zerith but also Clerith at the very end, just as a foreshadowing you know).

Another song from her... more Clerissy... and sad.

In the Lake

If I had no worries
If I had no pain
Would you stay close to me
When it starts to rain

Would you be my lover
Would you be my lover
We are always a little bit far but never late
We are always a little bit far
In the lake

If the sky grows darker
If I go insane
Would you still care for me
When it starts to rain

Would you be my lover
Would you be my lover
We are always a little bit far but never late
We are always a little bit far
In the lake

Happy girl, I want to be the happy girl

Would you be my lover
Would you be my lover
We are always a little bit far but never late
We are always a little bit far
In the lake

Somehow, I think Emilie Simon's voice matches Aerith image (she even sounds like Maaya Sakamoto sometimes). This song made me think of Aerith's thoughts just after her death... that's why it touches me.

Now, you mentionned Sally Song... but I think I like Tears to Shed better for Aerith (their stories are kinda similar... except that a relationship was formed between Cloud and herself before she died, when she visited him as a ghost, she wasn't a stranger trying to marry Cloud like Emily tried to do with Victor and there was no Clerith vs Cloti marriage thing in FF7... thank goodness).

MAGGOT
What does that whispy little brat have that you don't have double?

BLACK WIDOW
She can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile

CORPSE BRIDE
How about a pulse?

MAGGOT
Overrated by a mile

BLACK WIDOW
Overbearing

MAGGOT
Overblown

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE
(sigh)

BLACK WIDOW
And that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring

MAGGOT
And she doesn't play piano

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
Or dance

MAGGOT
Or sing

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
No she doesn't compare

CORPSE BRIDE
But she still breathes air

BLACK WIDOW
Who cares?

MAGGOT
Unimportant

BLACK WIDOW
Overrated

MAGGOT
Overblown

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE
If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain
If you cut me with a knife it's still the same
And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
Yet the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
For it seems that I still have a tear to shed

MAGGOT
The sure redeeming feature
From that little creature
Is that she's alive

BLACK WIDOW
Overrated

MAGGOT
Overblown

BLACK WIDOW
Everybody know that's just a temporary state
Which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate

MAGGOT
Who cares?

BLACK WIDOW
Unimportant

MAGGOT
Overrated

BLACK WIDOW
Overblown

MAGGOT AND BLACK WIDOW
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE
If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain
In the ice or in the wun it's all the same
Yet I feel my heart is acheing
Though it doesn't beat it's breaking
And the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
I know that I am dead
Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed

Though I have to admit, this song is kinda depressing (imagine emo Aerith... nah, I can't, she sees things way too positively for that to happen).

Oh, and this song from the Huntchback of Notre-Dame (just because someone did an Advent Children video with it and it was beautiful) :

God Help the Outcasts

Esmeralda:
I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You would listen
To a gypsy's prayer
Yes, I know I'm just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to you
Still I see Your face and wonder
Were You once an outcast too?

God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth
God help my people
We look to You still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will

Parishioners:
I ask for wealth
I ask for fame
I ask for glory to shine on my name
I ask for love I can posess
I ask for God and His angels to bless me

Esmeralda:
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
Please help my people
The poor and downtrod
I thought we all were
The children of God
God help the outcasts
Children of God
