Final Fantasy VII Remake: OST (Holding My Thoughts in My Heart / Dear to the heart)

[@mirzasajjad]

Anyone else just stay in this room to listen to this amazing ost.....My God

[@wesss2434]

Aerith is the character who teaches you that it does not matter if the situation is horrible that everything can be remedied, all of which is shown by her great charisma and positivity

[@dmurray2978]

Rest in rip

[@cooliod00d]

She's the perfect contrast to the other character's. In a world that is ripe with tragedy and weak people being taken advantage of by the powerful, she never loses faith or her bubbly personality.

[@NickBrightwell]

This is beautiful track at the beginning of chapter 17, it's my favourite. Based on "Dear to the Heart" from Final Fantasy VII, It's a very special song in the story using the main theme melody. The is song is about Cloud from his friends perspective, the first time you hear it Cloud is elected leader of the team. Cloud is so strong and is the only person who can help Aerith, but he can't help her alone. In Remake Cloud wakes up with all his friends around him after the firsts clear signs he really is not well, he wakes and begins the heroes journey with the support of his friends. They all want to save the planet.

[@foodforcrows]

Ohh yeah I hear it. Musical genius to be able to take a motif in a song and transform it into something fresh and instantly nostalgic.

[@holy9781]

I can picture this song playing as aerith tells cloud she leaving in ancient forest or something sad and dramatic

[@Romain_Derelicts]

This is exactly it. :) Thank you for such a beautiful description.

[@vincentgraymore]

I need Off the edge of despair. Need a catatonic Cloud in a wheelchair as well.

[@trevinodude]

Aerith: You can't fall in love with me. Me: Well, for many fans... it's too late. Fans have loved you since the original timeline... and have never stopped to this day.

[@foodforcrows]

heavy.

[@Kaenei]

We did before. We'll do it again.

[@danielburch824]

Real curious to how this all plays out in later continuations. She's become extremely attachable this go around and if we still end up losing her, it's gonna be a heartbreak of heartbreaks

[@trevinodude]

@@danielburch824 Ikr. I really hope we can save her this go around.

[@danielburch824]

@@trevinodude for real. But i kinda have a feeling something will still end up happening where we lose her, but if so, i hope it's one of those where she doesnt go down without a fight or something instead of Sephiroth dropping in and stabbing her

[@jmo4980]

I observed that mural for an abnormally long time. It's a masterpiece

[@jmo4980]

_The coalesence of negentropy and entropy, both natural and unnatural, in a perpetual cycle of causality, interrupted by an anomalous, calamatous entity, and the awareness, hopes, compassion and love of a child, beholden to the injunction of Destiny's insisting precept, articulated._

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

This song is so calming- yet it makes the heart want to move. It makes the soul leap and say YOU CAN DO IT. And at the same time, if you fail, it's okay because that's part of life.

[@Faz0.]

I was staying a long time in this aeris room just to listen the music and watch the beautiful drawing on the wall

[@kiki-713k]

aerith

[@SuperJony90]

I like aeris more

[@kiki-713k]

Burning_Man her name is aerith

[@monojuice]

Burning_Man well that’s not her name lol

[@juanantenor1740]

Aeris sounds more like wind than like earth. Earisu, Aerith, was supposed to sound like earth, you know why

[@foodforcrows]

Aerith's Theme and all of its variations were always heartwrenching. So awesome that Nobuo and his team can write new music that has the same effect. This is a heavy one.

[@jenniferchough]

I’m trying to hear Aerith’s theme in this. Time stamp?

[@nickrobinson9384]

@@jenniferchough Yeah its kind of abstracted, but the essence is there. Mainly the piano I would say.

[@ucarouen]

​@@jenniferchough I'm not hearing her theme in this song The original is called On Our Way, IIRC), butwhat I think I'm hearing in this is... Taking this song and changing a few things around to point to her, that this moment is about Aerith. I don't have the proper words to describe the idea, but it makes sense to me.

[@BigGamingBossMan]

This song is beautiful it’s just beautiful this whole game was beautiful I have no words. This is exactly the kind of music you want to hear in a game like this and it couldn’t have been used at a more perfect moment in the story. It’s like the culmination of all our memories of the original, this story, indeed the character of Aerith Gainsborough herself, represented magnificently through music. A home away from home

[@Romain_Derelicts]

My god... This moment in the game... It cannot be described. How strong emotionally it was. This is at this very moment that I realized the remake was indeed... incredible.

[@e-volt9285]

Yeah, same. But then chapter 18 happened...

[@xx2xx1000]

@@e-volt9285 we cant judge right now after part 2 we will see... I hope they don't ruin it

[@ludens1526]

I listen to this to help me sleep at night

[@gazda9272]

This song made me drop tears and the reason why is because I knew I was close to the end of finishing Part 1 and I realized that 3 years will have to pass before this journey continues in Part 2.......don't even want to think about waiting even more for Part 3.

[@BigGamingBossMan]

Well ideally once Part 2 is done that should be A LOT of if not all resources and assets completed so I imagine Part 3 development will be much swifter.

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

it'll be like a year and a half maybe two dont worry

[@mattnash5476]

Part 2 started development in June 2019. It started active development mere days after FF VII Rs release date with square enix's primary division. Considering they'll have models and basic enemy templates and location assets. We're almost garunteed a reveal this year. Also does the end of this track freak the shit out of you or is it just me 😅

[@gazda9272]

@@mattnash5476 Sounds the same to me 🙂....if you really want to have nightmares go listen to the original FF7's song titled "Who Are you" That one gave me nightmares when I was a kid,hell I could hear that song in my sleep,that song is unpleasant for sure

[@mattnash5476]

@@gazda9272 I dunno. It's just that part of the track repeating again and getting more ominous and quiet. Just freaks me out ha ha

I was doing equip management after waking up in this room, even when I finished it just felt wrong to move forward. Beautiful track. Thanks for the upload, now to wait until May 27 for the soundtrack.

[@AerosDecree]

This song still breaks me in so many ways, bless you Aerith 🙏, can't wait to play the next part 😊

[@liamelshaw7659]

What a beautiful/peaceful theme. This definitely takes me back to the original ff7. Both remake and original soundtrack has a special place in my life

[@Omnicloudx13]

This song along with Aerith's beautiful mural of the cetra, the lifestream, and will of the planet was spectacular.

[@Timeforceletsgo]

Thank you so much for this, over time this song will get many more views as people who get to chapter 17 will likely search for this like I did.

[@sofiahuang]

Yes! You are definitely right! :)

[@wesbowling457]

"Aerith" is for english, not everyone is. in my case i think "S" is so much beautiful than "TH" and you know what ? she's born as エアリス EARISU

[@juanantenor1740]

Aeris relates more to wind (Think Aereal). Aerith relates more to earth, as they meant.
