  This video evolves around the character of Sumeragi Subaru and how he was affected by Seishirou's death, the only one he wanted to protect. When I first saw the last episode of X (TV) I was greatly disappointed because Subaru didn't die in the end; he had this wonderful "death scene", but then he just walked away in the sunset, leaving Seishirou's sakura tree behind... which is really stupid, if you think about it. So, when I heard this wonderful song (the infamous "Hungarian Suicide Song"), I decided to make a video about Subaru's longing for death, now that he has lost the only person he ever loved.
  
  GLOOMY SUNDAY
  
  Sunday is Gloomy,
  My hours are slumberless,
  Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
  Little white flowers will never awaken you
  
  Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
  Angels have no thought of ever returning you
  Would they be angry if I thought of joining you
  Gloomy Sunday
  
  Sunday is gloomy
  with shadows I spend it all
  My heart and I have decided to end it all
  Soon there'll be candels and prayers that are sad,
  I know, let them not weep,
  Let them know that I'm glad to go
  
  Death is no dream,
  For in death I'm caressing you
  With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
  Gloomy Sunday
  
  Dreaming
  I was only dreaming
  I wake and I find you
  Asleep in the deep of
  My heart
  Dear
  
  Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you
  My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
  Gloomy Sunday

  A couple of notes:
  - The "dream" that could "haunt" Seishirou is Subaru's wish to be killed by him.
  - "I wake and I find you": I used a "Cowboy Bebop"-ish point of view. Life is just a dream, and in death you finally wake up. Here when Subaru "wakes up", he finds the man he fell in love with, i.e. Tokyo Babylon Seishirou.
  - The "Angel" is Hokuto: in Subaru's character profile (which I highly reccomend to everyone, as it's beautiful), Subaru wonders whether his wish would make his sister angry or sad.
  
  As always, feedback is truly appreciated.
