Grave of the Fireflies idea

Unless I can get my hands on a DVD copy of Grave of the Fireflies, I won't be able to do this AMV. But I would very much like to see it done. The song is "Who is This Child?" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. If I could find an mp3 I'd post it, but I can't. My best advice is to download the song off KaZaA. It's from the album "Beethoven's Last Night", a gorgeous Broadway-style rock opera. I've posted the lyrics here, but it's a good idea to just download the song anyway.

This is the kind of video that really needs to be nailed in one shot. If anyone here is willing to take on such a project, go for it.

Lyrics:

Who is the child
That I've never seen before?
Who is this child
That I've not seen till this day?

Who dares to fall asleep
Ooutside my door
If we should wait awhile
I'm sure she'll go away

To be involved with this
Would surely not be wise
For in the final word
She means nothing to me

I learned the trick is
That we just avoid her eyes
And the question
What she means to ...

What is this life?
There will be other lives
Soon to arrive
Surely some will survive
She is but one
And there are many more
Each the same as any other

Who is this child?
What does she mean to me?
I close my eyes
And still her face I see
She is but one
Her kind are everywhere
Can't you see there's no way I should care....

I need a moment now
I have to clear my mind
Is there a limit, Lord
Just to being kind?

There is no way in life
That each child can be saved
Should I be looking with regret
At every grave?

There are no guarantees
Iin life, she should be warned
I'm not responsible
For this child being born

I'm not responsible
In any kind of way
For every child life can gather

What is this life?
There will be other lives
Soon to arrive
Surely some will survive

She is but one
And there are many more
Could this one life really matter?

Who is this child?
What does she mean to me?
I close my eyes
And still her face I see
She is but one
Her kind are everywhere
Can't you see there's no way I should care

Can you see it in the night?
Can you feel that it's out there?
It's the arcking of a life
And it's hanging in the air

Though I try to close my eyes
And pretend that I don't know
In my heart
I just can't let it go!

There has to be another way for me
A way that leads from this insanity
A way that leads from my destruction in this way

Can you see it in the night?
Can you feel that it's out there?
It's the arcking of a life
And it's hanging in the air

Though I try to close my eyes
And pretend that I don't know
In my heart
I just can't let it...

Go....

I would but I'd screw the AMV up >_< Seeing GotF didn't effect me that much(odd, huh?) In fact, GotF impacting me more then 9/11(I probably should have kept that fact to myself..)

I know, don't say it.. I'm a screwy person..

Well, maybe, IF, I finish all these other AMVs I'm TRYING to do, I'll gain enough expirence to do that AMV.. Sounds so good..

Link info:
Go to the BOTTOM of that page, when it finally loads. Sometimes, it's not done, even when IE says "done" so be patient.. And make sure you vote!

Random GotF comment:
I had a parody idea in mind for GotF in my list of "To Do's" but then I took it off for fear of people going: "Oh My God!!! You butchered the movie! You butchered HISTORY! You're INSANE and should be banned from this site!"
