• Song:
  • Steve Conte Heaven's Not Enough
• Anime:

• Comments: My attempt at bringing together my two favourite anime, Wolf's Rain and Full Metal Alchemist. ^^ As the main theme is the research of heaven, i.e. a way to bring our beloved ones back from Death, the song is one of the best songs ever written, and one of my personal favourites.
  
  I started working on this video the night before my last, crucial exam at university. I think you can tell it from the mood, that's pretty dark during all the video (I was terribly nervous!). But actually that's how I've always seen this song, pretty depressing and desperate.
  
  *I have to warn you, this video contains major spoilers to all FMA series!*
  
  HEAVEN'S NOT ENOUGH
  
  heaven's not enough
  if when you get there..
  just another blue
  and heaven's not enough
  you think you've found it
  and it loses you
  
  you've thought of all there is
  but not enough
  and it loses you in a cloud
  
  "there" most everything is nothin'
  that it seems
  "where" you see the things you only wanna see
  
  I'd fly away
  to a higher plane
  to say words I resist
  to float away
  to sigh
  to breathe.... forget
  
  and heaven's not enough
  if when I'm there I don't remember you
  and heaven does enough
  you think you know it
  and it uses you
  
  I saw so many things
  but like a dream
  always losing me in a cloud
  
  cause I couldn't cry
  cause I turned away
  couldn't see the score
  didn't know the pain
  of leaving yesterday really far behind
  in another life
  in another dream
  by a different name
  gave it all away
  for a memory
  and a quiet lie
  and I felt the face
  of a cold tonight
  still don't know the score
  but I know the pain
  of leaving everything really far behind
  and if I could cry
  and if I could live what truth I did then take me there
  heaven goodbye

  Notes:
  - "if when I'm there I don't remember you" - I chose that particolar scene because I wanted to focus on how Al is forgetting something from his past (and starting to think he never actually existed). In the manga, this is the sign his soul is starting fading away (or at least that's what Ed and Al think it could mean).
  
  Feedback is always appreciated. ^^
