I was just casually listening to music, and then "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron plays, and I can't help but think of Cloud and Aerith in it, so this seemed the most fitting place to post something like this! This is just me take on the song mixed with Clerith, if your opinion differs that's fabulous, just don't be a meanie. Also, beware of slight Remake spoilers, and do not read further if you do not know the fate of Aerith (seriously, you should by now though!) Now without further ado, I will dissect the song, revealing the Clerith that lays within its beautiful lyrics.
"I've been searching for a trail to follow again" - Advent children, Cloud was a bit lost without her. "And then I can tell myself what the hell I'm supposed to do, and then I can tell myself not to ride along with you" - Maybe things would have been different if they didn't meet and she didn't tag along. Maybe the pretty flower girl of the slums would still live. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do , haunted by the ghost of you" - Cloud was always haunted by her death, he saw her in the church again in the original if you went back, and of course a major plot point was him being mentally haunted and unable to let go of Aerith in Advent Children. "When the night was full of terrors, And your eyes were filled with tears" - AVALANCHE was literally finishing up their terror attack as they met, and though Aerith didn't cry, she surely was in distress (in the Remake, when she was swatting the Whispers). "When you had not touched me yet" - Before Aerith touched him, Cloud couldn't see the Whispers in the Remake and everything was different in the Remake. "Take me back to the night we met" - Before her death, before she no longer could laugh, cry or scold him. Before Cloud lost her.
I rather love how much the song connects to them! It's so sad though, poor Aerith T^T
