  Desperado is one of my favourite songs since the first time I bought the album. To me, making a video with it is incredibly difficult, because it's such a complex song. We could say it's talking about (and to) a person who's always been alone, and needs to open his heart to love. It's perfetct for Subaru-kun, isn't it? ;) Just remember that this is *my* interpretation of this song.
  
  DESPERADO
  
  Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
  You been out ridin’ fences for so long now
  Oh, you’re a hard one
  I know that you got your reasons
  These things that are pleasin’ you
  Can hurt you somehow
  
  Don’ you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
  She’ll beat you if she’s able
  You know the queen of heats is always your best bet
  
  Now it seems to me, some fine things
  Have been laid upon your table
  But you only want the ones that you can’t get
  
  Desperado, oh, you ain’t gettin’ no youger
  Your pain and your hunger, they’re drivin’ you home
  And freedom, oh freedom well, that’s just some people talkin’
  Your prison is walking through this world all alone
  
  Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?
  The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
  It’s hard to tell the night time from the day
  You’re loosin’ all your highs and lows
  Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?
  
  Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
  Come down from your fences, open the gate
  It may be rainin’, but there’s a rainbow above you
  You better let somebody love you, before it’s too late

  A couple of notes:
  - "Oh, you're a hard one" is a quote by Fuuma in the manga, volume 12, just before he starts fighting with Subaru, and...well... you know the rest! :)
  - "These things that are pleasin’ you / Can hurt you somehow" ... me, I decided to put the "eye" scene, because of the strong importance it has for Subaru, especially in the manga. Well, remember that when I make a video I'm always thinking of the manga, and just "using" the anime...
  - "Now it seems to me, some fine things / Have been laid upon your table" ...no, I'm not a Subaru/Kamui shipper, but the importance of their relationship in the manga is obvious. Clamp often make us see how much they look alike... maybe Kamui will be the one who can get Subaru back from becoming a Dragon of the Earth... what I wanted to say here is: "Subaru-kun, you IDIOT! You lost Sei-chan, but you still have ones to protect!!!" :)
