Kiri

I finished watching all 23 episodes of this anime called Ergo Proxy. Although, I've mentioned this anime already in an earlier post. I wanted to share how much I like the opening song of the anime. Half the interest that I have for the anime is because of the song.

Check out the full version of the song that somebody spliced in with scenes from the anime below. The prose of the song, especially in the chorus, is very moving to me. I can feel my chest getting heavier and lighter at the same time. It is of the same approach that I had in one of the songs I've written in the past; about screaming to the heavens, yearning for someone to save me.



Kiri
by Monoral

You complete my fate
The world unwinds inside of me
You complete my fate
The halo crawls away
You repeat my fate
Rewinding all we can
You refill my place
You refill my place place

Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and save me

You complete my fate
The heavens stroll inside of me
You repeat my fate
Revealing who we are
You refill my place
You refill my place

Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and save me
Come for me and take out my heart and take my breath away
Come and save me
Come for me and take out my heart and take my breath away
Come and save me

Believe in me
Drink the wine
Take my hand
Fill me up

Believe in me
Drink the wine
Take my hand
Let me follow



I found a video on YouTube of the shortened version of the song that they play as the opening song of the anime. I figured I'd throw that in here as well.



I want to learn this song on guitar and sing it. Unfortunately, my vocal chords can't hit the sustained high notes in the chorus consistently yet. Some days my voice is just off. Oh well, it's not like I'm a vocalist or anything. I just do this for fun. The equivalent of singing in the shower, so to speak. I suppose it's just about practice. Either that or I cheat with a falsetto and raise the volume of my voice when I do it. I'm such a cheater when it comes to guitar playing and singing at times.

END OF LINE...
