This is a little section dedicated to Tifa's beautiful theme. Although Tifa's theme doesn't stand out oppossed to some Final Fantasy VII's tracks, it's still a really nice memorable theme. I ran across many different mysteries behind her theme, as well as things I found, seen, etc. I personally think Tifa's theme is the best, I just thought it to be soothing, romantic, yet sad in it's own way. If you love her theme too, take time to read through this and find what it is I have here. The contents are below to give you an overview, all the sections are posted on this one page though.

Cloud/Tifa's Theme?
I also call Tifa's theme, Cloud & Tifa's theme. Why's that? I do that because someone told me once
that if you notice there's a high pitch and a low pitch in her theme. Maybe the high pitch is Tifa's voice? And maybe
the low pitch is Cloud's voice, then at the end of the theme the low and the high pitch join together. I think that's rather
romantic ne?
Not only Tifa's theme, but I find the ending of FFVII to lead up to something a little more. Allow me to explain, when Cloud catches Tifa, her theme plays, we all know that. But what intrigued me when I listened a little more, you hear that during the high parts of her theme the main theme mixes with it (it almost sounds like a duet). The main theme of FFVII is often referred to Cloud's theme, so I believe that it was like Cloud and Tifa's themes combining. If you carefully listen to the scene, it does indeed mix with the main theme, in a triumphant way, very harmonic. I always also believed that the main theme had a lot to do with Cloud and Tifa anyway, seeing how that's what Cloud played on Tifa's piano, how that theme was played in the lifestream sequence when Cloud finds out the truth about him and Tifa, Nibelheim etc. It's probably all my biases combine, but it's very convincing.
Tifa's Theme Lives On?
Julia's theme and Tifa's theme?: So after all I thought I was the only idiot who heared Tifa's theme in Julia's Piano Theme. The first time I heared Julia's theme (which was a midi on some site while I was looking for different versions of Tifa's theme, and FFVIII wasn't even out yet) I recongnized Tifa's theme in it. I asked a couple of people if they can hear it too, and (them being Tifa fans themselves) didn't hear it. It's a big toss up, somoe people here and some really and honestly don't. But if you either listen to Julia's theme or Eyes on Me, and you'll hear Tifa's theme in it. I also find it ironic because of what I said above? About Tifa's theme being Cloud & Tifa's theme? Well, since FFVIII has Eyes on me as a love song that was actually sung, it could be possible though only in theory that, that's why her theme was added in. Tifa's theme was like the love theme between Cloud & Tifa, and even if you don't think that at all in the least, Tifa's Theme...at least to me is symbolic of Love itself and how her theme represents in the game. Eyes on me was a love theme as well, but it's just a theory.

Besides it being off key together, you can completely understand the melody of each theme and that it is indeed the same.
Discovery in Zelda?
Playing Tifa's theme on the Ocarina in Zelda 64? Oh ok now I know I'm a total freak. I actually discovered one day how to make the Ocarina play part of Tifa's theme >.< lol I'll give them to you guys but you gotta promise NOT to use this on your site, unless you email me and give me credit for it. I found these out on my OWN, without help, so be kind to me ^^; These are old ones I did a while back, I know I did more to her theme on the ocarina afterwards but over the years you can forget things. Maybe one day I'll hook up n64 and try it again. =D but these old one should still work, if you anyone was ever interested.
Just download the instructions as well as the notes here!

Lyrics to Tifa's Theme?
Now, Tifa doesn't have any OFFICIAL lyrics to her theme, but people love to help make it seem that way. I really hope that one day they do make lyrics to her theme, and vocalize it, it would be very romantic. Anyway, I have some lyrics here made by fans who love her theme. Would you like to submit some nice lyrics? Email me and let me know what you have!
