In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
YEs its my duty to get the translation.
Burning inside with violent anger, Burning inside with violent anger, Sephiroth Sephiroth
Fate - monstrous and empty, Fate - monstrous and empty,
Come, come, O come, do not let me die Come, come, O come, do not let me die
Come, come, O come, (Glorious) do not let me die (Noble)
Come, come, O come, (Glorious) do not let me die (Noble)

Nobuo Uematsu is one of the world greates ALIVE mucisians. What a talent the man has.
He really is a genius! His music complimented Final Fantasy (Esepcially VIII/8) perfectly.
sepiroth is soo evil haha too bad i kicked his ass at the end of FFVII
Hey, I love Sephiroth!...:-P He's like, the coolest evil dude EVER.
Ahem.
Anyway, I also love his music on FFIV and FFVI
OK, in FFVII, after the "Opening - Bombing Mission" music, there's another theme that starts, right as the train is stopping. I haven't been able to find that music, and all I have are memories from about 8 years ago to go on (I don't actually own the game, some relatives did, I haven't played for, well, about 8 years). I saw a video of the opening and heard the first second - literally 1 second - of this theme, but I cannot find it on the FF7 OST, which I have looked through several times on iTunes. Does anyone know what it is? What it's called, where I could find it...thanks very much.
Poor Sephiroth. I mean, I know he's an evil bastard, but I still feel sorry for him. He's a one-winged angel, don'tcha know. Odd, Cloud kills him, but then he just, kinda comes back for a while in Advent Children, I heard. Whatever...
The song played in the bombing mission is part of the opening track, and should start after the opening theme does, a minute or so in.
Sephiroth is brought back to the world by one of his clones absorbing Jenova's cells. Wikipedia has a decent explaination of it all, if you wanted to look it up. They also have the lyrics to "Advent: One Winged Angel" buried in the revisions.
DezSP, you have no idea how greatful I am for that. Thanks very much.
I've seen so many videos from Advent Children, on the Google Video search. Hey, I've been sick for a week, I've had a lot of time on my hands. Anyway, yeah - I went to answers.com (which has excerpts from Wikipedia) and, very good, all makes much sense...but it would do, Final Fantasy usually makes sense (well, within the confines of some Fantasy or other). Anyone ever played FF4 or FF6? Those are pretty damn good, only ones I've played other than 7 though.
Man, I spelt "grateful" terribly incorrectly. State of sleep or something for a minute there.
This song kicks arse. This song, and "Otherworld" too.
One of the only outstanding songs on the soundtrack IMO.
FF8 Soundtrack ftw.
HOLY SHIT! i cant believe this song is on here! YAAAAH! this is one of my favorite songs EVER!! so maniacle and vicious. I CAN PLAY IT ON GUITAR!!! woot woot besty nobuo music is on FFX though. such as Otherworld,that song in the Zanarkand ruins and that song that could almost make me cry,you know when yer battling Yu Yevon? aww man this guy is brilliant. F I N A L F A N T A S Y for life!!!!
