A most memorable song from Evangelion 3.0

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDYtpe1xXQc

 

English translation

 

When you said, "They're early this year too,"
looking with disappointment
at the flowers scattering after they had just opened,
you were so beautiful.

If you were to look at me now,
what would you think
about me, living without you?

Everybody finds love
In the end

If you heard the healthy sound of of a baby's first cry
sounding again today from somewhere within the town you protected,
I'm sure you would be happy
about the footsteps following after us.

Everybody finds love
In the end

I can't believe we'll never meet again.
I haven't told you anything yet.
I haven't told you anything yet.

Looking upon the flowers scattering after they just opened,
I wonder, is this the cheerlessness of this grove?

No matter how frightening it is, I won't look away
if there is love at the end of everything.

Here's some German music :). This dude used to be in a boy group which was very famous in 1997. Now he's solo and he wrote a song made out of refferences to other songs and bands, and it's beautiful. Let's see if you can guess a few by just watching the video :P.

 

Sounds beautiful, too bad I don't understand it...

 

And on the topic of German, this ironic video came up on Youtube right after I read this:

There's a mention of "Ukraine" in there, so, lol!

 

(Just ironic, the voice on that man you showed is amazing)

ROFL

 

But yeah, that artist does have an amazing voice and it seems like that song's not just filled with refferences, but he ordered them so that the lyrics are also an autobiography of his life.
