Eva video based on Rei using Our Lady of Peace's Annie

Post by LittleKefalos » Sat Mar 27, 2004 1:45 am

Ok I was listening to "Happiness is Not a Fish You can Catch" by Our Lady Peace, a great album by the way... and I thought wow the lyrics to Annie could really be used well to make an Eva video about Rei, and depending upon how you match the video up to the lyrics you could definitely make a video unique video.... anyways here are the lyrics...


Annie

You're a little bit shy
A little too quiet
You're the mixed up girl
That everybody leaves behind
A little bit weird
A little too bright oh
But you just might be
That little bomb at their side
They'll pull your hair
They'll leave you wide-eyed
But did anybody wonder
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no

There's something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

You're a little bit dry
A little uptight
You're the messed up girl
That everybody tries to hide
You've had enough
They're too unkind
But did anyone consider
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no

Something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh oh oh oh

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh

Woah oh oh

Woah oh oh

Oh oh

Something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

Something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, I exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead, everyone is dead, everyone is dead, Everyone is dead, everyone is dead, everyone is dead

*Definately* doable, but I'm not the one to do it.

This song could probably fit many other female anime protagonists as well...

Yeah, but how many of them can exterminate all of humanity?
Ask me about my secret stash of videos that can't be found anywhere anymore.

Well the Black Monarch makes an astute observation, part of what I intended.

Also, I think that aside from fitting Rei quite well.. this song would give Rei a voice more independent than most videos. Instead of being an object to be viewed, acted upon, or used like most of the Eva series tends to suggest is Rei's role by using these lyrics seriously you can kind of turn this idea on its head and show that while she may be under a kind of control her "destiny/whatever" is an active part of herself and she knows it.



Yeah I don't have the time, abilities, programs, etc. you name it to make videos at the current time and probably won't for years if that... so I'll probably continue making these suggestions cause I think they could be worthwhile if someone actually spends the time to do it.
