      As someone who grew up in musical theatre… when you perform from the heart in front of hundreds and thousands… it isn’t reality anymore. You literally poured your life and soul out into the performance and just that split second to snap back to reality and shed those tears of beauty is the sweetest thing ever.

    • @vaasmontenegro3728
      @vaasmontenegro3728 10 месяцев назад +24

      What was the inspiration behind No Promises to Keep?
      Uematsu: Since it is a ballad, I wanted to make it absolutely electrifying. I was asked to make the song so that the key phrase would play in repetition, and that’s when Harry Nilsson’s “Without You” came to mind. I took inspiration from it and decided to repeat a key phrase in the chorus.
      How did you feel when you first listened to “No Promises to Keep?”
      Uematsu: This is the first time I’ve heard this, and I’m glad she sensed exactly what we were aiming for. “No Promises to Keep” is a love song. I wanted it to exude a sweet feeling, but at the same time, evoke the complex feeling as Aerith confessed her feelings. I tried to build up the song as it climaxed, exactly as Loren described
      Was there anything you paid attention to when singing “No Promises to Keep”?
      Loren: I wanted to get to know Aerith well, and I also wanted to depict her relationship with Cloud. So, for me to channel her fragile and pure personality, I needed to change certain elements of my natural vocals to match up with her character.
      No Promises to Keep was inspired by, “Without you” I just listened to the version Mariah Carey sings in Tokyo and wow, you need to listen to it.

      ​@ghaida_alt5082 Tifa's fandom gotta be a social experiment at this point because there's no way... every time every freaking time when someone mentions something about Tifa's personality you will find a "anyway boobs🥵😍😩" reply or multiple of them I feel like 94% of her fandom is crusty dusty men who never touched a woman in their lifes and like Tifa's only because of her body, they don't care about her they care only about her boobs and her short skirt, 4% are women who adores how strong she is and actually enjoys her personality and only like 1% of her fandom is men who appreciate her as a character, her fandom truly ruins her character in other people's eyes, even her figurines are 80% oversexualised, same with her fanarts, many of her cosplays are also not better, I feel so sorry for normal Tifa's fans I can't imagine how tired after 27 years you people are

    This song Aerith wrote is for Cloud, how they met in the street and how it changed her life.
    And btw she reassures him he has no promises to keep (the opposite of Tifa basically), as she already told him in the dream Remake when he said « I’m coming for you » and her to answer « if that what you WANT… thank you ».
    At the end of Rebirth, he also says « I will stop Sephiroth » and her to respond « Promise ?? » as a joke « Promise » he smiles.

      You and your sock accounts are in full denial because Cloud had already chosen the one and only woman who deserves that kiss... Tifa.

    Jesus Christ man…I haven’t cried in over a decade. Lost close people, had some hard times. Then this shit comes along hits me like a freight train with nostalgia and tears me up because I know what’s coming. Haven’t beat it yet. Love this game. Rebirth is a masterpiece in my opinion.

    No Promises to Keep - Ending Credits lyrics
    Walking city streets with worn cobblestones
    Listening to people rushing past to rythms all their own
    Life passing me by, not thinking how the years have flown
    Until I met you
    I won't say that it was fate
    I won't say that it was destiny
    But if not, what could it be that drew you towards me?
    Could it be chance?
    Till the day that we meet again
    Where or when I wish I could say
    But believe-know that you'll find me
    Promises to keep-we won't ever need
    If only I'd never known
    All the burdens I was born to bear
    Lived a life without a care, in a world safe for you
    But that won't do
    Till the day that we meet again
    On our street, I want to believe
    In the chance that we'll share a glance
    Promises to keep-we won't ever need
    Till the day that we meet again
    At our place, just let me believe
    In the chance that you'll come,
    Take my hand, and never let me go
    Take my hand and believe
    We can be together evermore
    Walking city streets with worn cobblestones
    Struggling against the crowds and finding ourselves all alone
    Fate and destiny are no guarantee
    Still, I hope some day you'll come and find me
    Still, I know some day you'll come and find me

    Tifa and Cloud being there all supportive of their big sis as she makes her debut and her swan song all at once. Watching this after beating the game is the epitome of bittersweet.

      What was the inspiration behind No Promises to Keep?
      Uematsu: Since it is a ballad, I wanted to make it absolutely electrifying. I was asked to make the song so that the key phrase would play in repetition, and that’s when Harry Nilsson’s “Without You” came to mind. I took inspiration from it and decided to repeat a key phrase in the chorus.
      How did you feel when you first listened to “No Promises to Keep?”
      Uematsu: This is the first time I’ve heard this, and I’m glad she sensed exactly what we were aiming for. “No Promises to Keep” is a love song. I wanted it to exude a sweet feeling, but at the same time, evoke the complex feeling as Aerith confessed her feelings. I tried to build up the song as it climaxed, exactly as Loren described
      Was there anything you paid attention to when singing “No Promises to Keep”?
      Loren: I wanted to get to know Aerith well, and I also wanted to depict her relationship with Cloud. So, for me to channel her fragile and pure personality, I needed to change certain elements of my natural vocals to match up with her character.
      No Promises to Keep was inspired by, “Without you” I just listened to the version Mariah Carey sings in Tokyo and wow, you need to listen to it.
