From the first time I heard this song I thought it was beautiful, even though it's quite sad. This vid is from Zack's point of view, he wants Cloud to know that even though he's gone, he's always watching out for him. With this video I wanted to portray how strong their friendship was, I hope I did an okay job! The song is by the awesome band Pillar.

Here's lyrcis:
You make it so hard on yourself
But theres nobody else
That could ever understand
The feelings that you felt
I could hear you think about
All the time I was around
If you could only see me now
I'm right here looking down

So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don't feel like trying
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don't feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you

I know you won't forget
All the time we got to spend
Just because it's been a while
Doesn't mean that its the end
So right here and now
I'll swear you a vow
That I will always be with you
Whenever you feel down
Nothing ever will come between us
Now I'm holding on to the hand of Jesus

So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don't feel like trying
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don't feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you

I'll be right there looking down
Even when the shine don't shine
I'll be right there looking down
All along the winter night
I'll be right there looking down
With a smile on me face
I'll be right there with my arms open wide
Right here on Jesus' side

So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don't feel like trying
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don't feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you

So next time that you feel like crying
Next time you don't feel like trying
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you
In the morning you don't feel like rising
Next time you feel like compromising
Just remember I'll be right there
Smiling down on you

Woa, I never heard this song but the lyric and the music is beautiful and fit perfectly for ZackCloud friendship story. Maybe it will be nice better if you include some scene from Advent Childrent Complete that they stand back to back and show the new Zack's grave. But, I read your uploaded time that it's in 2008.

@eleamaya Thanks! And yeah I would've definitely added some ACC clips if they had been out at the time. The scene where Zack and Cloud stand back to back is the beeest haha.

This was a beautiful choice for these two, it can be taken either way; the slash side of it or just as a friendship vid. The message in this song is truly touching...I've had a feeling I've heard this before, but now I'm in love with this tune...
