    This is my first version of this video. As i absolutely adore this song, I'm sure I'll have some other versions of this video in the future... anyway, this one is also a gift for a friend! :)

    This song was incredibly difficult to be put in an amv... it's complex and metaphorical... there are lots of meanings that you can give to the word "rain"! To understand why I chose some clips, yu must have read Tokyo Babylon. Otherwise, it won't make any sense. Sorry, but I adore that manga, and it's the main theme during all the video. Besides that, there are huge spoiler from episode 16 of X. You have been warned!

    All the video evolves around Subaru and his memories of Seishiro: how they were friend, how Seishiro took care of him, and how Subaru fell in love with him, only to feel betrayed. Hokuto's assassination, of course, takes a lot of space in it!

    I'LL TAKE THE RAIN

    The rain came down
    The rain came down
    The rain came down on me.

    The wind blew strong
    The summer song
    Fades to memory

    I knew you when
    I loved you then
    The summer's young and helpless.

    You laid me bare
    You marked me there
    The promises we made.

    I used to think
    As birds take wing
    They sing through life so why can't we?
    You cling to this
    You claim the best
    If this is what you're offering
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain.

    The nighttime creases
    Summer schemes
    And stretches out to stay.
    The sun shines down
    You came around
    You love easy days.

    But now the sun,
    The winter's come.
    I wanted just to say
    That if I hold
    I'd hope you'd fold Open up inside, inside of me.

    I used to think
    As birds take wing
    They sing through life so why can't we?
    You cling to this
    You claim the best
    If this is what you're offering
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain.

    This winter song
    I'll sing along
    I've searched its still refrain
    I'll walk alone
    I've given this, take wing
    Celebrate the rain.

    I used to think
    As birds take wing
    They sing through life so why can't we?
    You cling to this
    You claim the best
    If this is what you're offering
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain
    I'll take the rain.
