What is a good "Rei" song?

Post by HurQlez03 » Thu Jul 15, 2004 12:42 pm

for those of you who know NGE, many of the AMVs out there are usually on Shinji, Asuka, and NGE. Very few people try an AMV based on Rei Ayanami. What would be a good song for an AMV based on her?

"Electric Barbarella" by Duran Duran? :shock:

No, here's an idea.

"Gollum's Song" from the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers soundtrack.

I know, you're thinking...WHAT? But listen to the song...or, well, read the lyrics:

Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try

These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home

So in the end
I'll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

Now we say goodbye
We say you didn't try

These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!

And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home
You are lost
You can never go home
Life's short.
eBayhard.

I have a good idea i think, it's from a project band by Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) named Probot. Dave does all the instruments and famous singers from his favorite bands write and sing the lyrics. This song is sung by Eric Wagner from Trouble. It's called My Tortured Soul. It's a bit of a harder song, but the lyrics are sung really emotional and very good.

There are times when the road gets dark
Seem to have lost my way
Sophisticated abuse of reason
Day after day

Oh no please come for me
For me and my tortured soul

Haunted by ill angels only
I'm so very pained to say
Secrets of mind change reality
Are the things they said today

Oh no please come for me
For me and my tortured sou

Words could never explain
I know it might sound strange
But i wish it would rain
Words could never explain
I know it might sound strange
But i wish it would rain

There are times when the road gets dark
Seem to have lost my way
Sophisticated abuse of reason
Day after day

Oh no please come for me
For me and my tortured soul, Oh no

Words could never explain
I know it might sound strange
But i wish it would rain
Words could never explain
I know it might sound strange
But i wish it would rain
Words could never explain
I know it might sound strange
But i wish it would rain

It keeps falling
Oh, Don't be afraid
Look to the Sun
Look to the Sun
Look to the Sun

it doesn't say it's raining, it's "I wish it would rain"
It's kind of pointing towards a depressed state, ass to, i wish the world would be as sad an depressed as me now (or something like that)

The wall flowers "God don't make lonely girls" from bringing down the horse. I can't find my little paper slip with the lyrics but I think it would fit really well one of the most repeated lines is "God don't make lonely girls" and as far as I know there are only 6-12 wall flower songs and this song isn't used in any of them ..... God I wish I had the lyrics. if someone knows of a site where I can find lyrics that would be great.

Wasn't Duran Duran in Barbarella? :wink:

Anyhow, I've been thinking for a while now that "Suite Madame Blue" by Styx would be a good Rei song, using Gendou's glasses as the "Looking Glass" (or, alternately, Lillith's Egg-thing clasped between Rei/Lillith's hands).

Here are the lyrics:
-----------------------
Time after time
I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool
But what can I say
Whatever the price I'll pay
For you Madame Blue

Once long ago
A word from your lips and the world turned around
But somehow you've changed
You're so far away
I long for the past and dream of the day
With you Madame Blue

Sweet Madame Blue
Gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Sweet Madame Blue
The future is all but past
Dressed in your jewels
You made your own rules
You conquered the world and more
... Heaven's door

America, America...
America, America...
America, America...
America, America...

America, America...
America, America...

Red, white and blue
Gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Red, white and blue
The future is all but past
So lift up your heart
And make a new start
And lead us away from here
-----------------------
Now, how can that not be an awesome Rei song?
may seeds of dreams fall from my hands -
and by yours be pressed into the ground.
