Song of the Day - Day 24

My body moves, goes where I will. But though I try, my heart stays still.
Calling, by Kyosuke Himuro, from the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Original Soundtrack

It's worth noting that the song wasn't created for the Advent Children soundtrack. Far from it, actually. The song in question was originally found on Kyosuke Himura's 1989 Album Neo Fascio. I was tempted to list it as such, but I decided I'm going to just show the song as it appears in my music library, not to mention it's more easily recognizable today (at least in the West) by it's inclusion in the AC soundtrack.
So, what better way to close out Advent Children then...a song from the late '80s? It actually works surprisingly well. Not only is it an awesome song )and even sounds like something that came out of the late 90's/early 2000's in comparison to Western music), but the lyrics fit surprisingly well with the end of the movie. The song speaks about not sitting around, waiting for things to change and letting life beat you down, and instead seeking out the answers and the path you seek on your own (by metaphorically following the wind).
In any case, it's another one of those fun little tunes that you can't help but smile to as you listen to it.
