Song: Martin Page, "In The House of Stone and Light"
Anime decided on so far: Tenchi Forever, Tenchi Muyo in Love, Shamanic Princess

It's paycheck time, and I need to build my small library up a bit more. I need sources for my next video idea, so if anyone has any seuggestions for a fitting anime along the lines of this song, please let me know. ^.~

Lyrics:

Oh, Mount Kailas
Uncover me
Come my restoration
Wash my body clean

I've been walking
Along a crooked path
Where the walls have fallen
And broken me in half

Chorus:

I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
I'm gonna go
In the house of stone and light
I shall not cry for the blindman I leave behind
When I go
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light

Holy lady
Show me my soul
Tell me of the place
Where I must surely go

Old man waiting
At the gates for me
Give me the wisdom
Give me the key

Chorus:

I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
In the house of stone and light
I make my way O gonna be such a beautiful day
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light
Let me in beneath my skin
In the house of stone and light
It's been too long
My spirit's been at war
Havasupai Shaman
Let me be reborn

Chorus:

And I will the sun upon my face
Come the day I awake the child inside
In the house of stone and light
And when I go I will op - open my eyes
In the house of stone and light
I will see you
In the house of stone and light
I'm looking in beneath my skin
In The House Of Stone And Light

Any suggestions would be great! I'll credit you on the video info page when it's finished! ^^

ARGH! Never trust lyric sites for copy/pasting!

Lyrical correction, last verse:

And I will embrace the sun upon my face
Come the day I awake the child inside
In the house of stone and light
And when I go I will op-op-open my arms
In the house of stone and light
I will see you
In the house of stone and light
I'm looking in beneath my skin
In The House Of Stone And Light

Well, what exactly are you trying to do with it? Are you planning to make this more specific-character-in-context-oriented, or sort of just more generic/broader/mood-based.

Anyway, I think Earth Girl Arjuna might have a lot of things to fit in this thematically - but that depends on what you're trying to aim for, of course...

Hmm...I really should learn to stop being so vague, lol.

Theme...theme...

Well, the idea I have in my head is letting go of angst and baggage. You've wronged people and made some bad decisions in your past, and you never forgave yourself. This video will be about moving on. Coming to terms with yourself and shedding your negative weight.

And in the end, feeling so much better about yourself.

Keep in mind, I'll be buying the source DVD's myself, so please suggest material that won't cost me a few boxed-sets to buy. ^^;;

might be a bit cheap but maybe Mononoke Hime(Princess Mononoke)?

I don't know, lots of snimes could prolly go for this, depends on what feel you want. I think of Fruits Basket, Inu Yasha, mebbe Slayers, Evangelion, mebbe Ah My Goddess!

There's lots of symbolism in here that can be interpreted a number of ways depending on which way you want to go.
