  How it Started
  ***************
  
  To tell you all the truth, this was the very first idea for a music video I had ever had. The first music video I watched, or rather, a real amv of a certain class, was This Isn't What We Meant by Vicbond007, and it left me with a certain feeling in heart. It was like, I mean, the characters in Evangelion DID mean what they did, or at least, most of them, but how did the song fit the anime SO well. Thats how I managed to pop up with the idea of making a Trigun movie, which deal with promoting peace and happiness, two things which both Vash de Stampede and Nicholas Wolfwood know little about, or so it seems.
  
  Troughout the Trigun series, the best episodes are by far highlighted more than the others. In fact, from episode 17, where Vash remembers his past with Rem, onwards, the story goes through radical change, then it's climax. And personally, the episode which I love and hate most, is episode 23, where we all know, Nicholas is forced to leave the series forever.
  
  When I started working on the video, I started of with his dead, then him remembering his life, how disgusted he was with killing, then eventually killing him, dropping his hand in the last bit. But things came up, and I never got to finish the video.
  
  The computer went through several formats, and the file was long gone, until recently, I decided to work on it again, to see how good the idea was after all, and here it is for you to judge.

  The Lyrics
  ***************
  
  For those who do not understand italian, I have decided to post up a translation of the lyrics as seen below.
  
  
  
  Celine:
  I pray you'll be our eyes,
  And watch us were we go.
  And help us to be wise,
  In times when we don't know.
  Let this be our prayer,
  When we lose our way.
  Lead us to a place,
  Guide us with our grace,
  To a place were we'll be safe.
  
  Andrea:
  The light that you give us,
  Celine:
  I pray we'll fine your light.
  
  Andrea:
  Will stay in our hearts,
  Celine:
  And hold it in our hearts.
  
  Andrea:
  To remind us that,
  Celine:
  When stars go out each night.
  
  Andrea:
  You are the everlasting star.
  
  Andrea:
  In my prayer,
  Celine:
  Let this be our prayer.
  
  Andrea:
  There is so much faith,
  Celine:
  When shadows fill our day.
  
  Together
  Lead us to a place,
  Guide us with our grace,
  Give us faith we'll be safe.
  
  We dream of a world without anymore violence.
  A world full of justice and hope.
  Eveyone grasp the hand of his neighbour,
  As a symbol of peace and brotherhood.
  
  Andrea:
  The strenght that you give us ...
  Celine:
  We ask that life be kind.
  
  Andrea:
  Is the wish that...
  Celine:
  And watch us from above.
  
  Andrea:
  ... everyone may find love.
  Celine:
  We hope each soul will find,
  Andrea:
  Around and inside himself.
  Celine:
  Another soul to love.
  
  Together:
  Let this be our prayer,
  Celine:
  Let this be our prayer.
  
  Andrea:
  Just like every child,
  Celine:
  Just like every child.
  
  Together:
  Need to find a place,
  Guide us with your grace,
  Give us faith so we'll be safe.
  
  And the faith that,
  You're lit inside our hearts,
  I feel will save us.
  
  
  Very touching words in my opinion, which in fact do in some way resemble Vash's thoughts. When the series finds it turning point, in episode 22, we find that even Wolfwood decideds to opt against violence, and for that very reason, this video is a sort of tribute to the two.
  
  Enjoy ^.^
