Comments:
This started with a visit to my son's anime club. After showing some videos to the kids, I asked them for suggestions, and said that I would make a video from the combinations on the list. As I read through it, this one really struck me.
I mean, what 13/14 year old listens to Kansas?
Since I knew the song, and the lyric match to the Elric brothers was SO perfect, I took this one on.
Thanks, Evan for the idea!
The music has been cut from almost 6:00 to just over 3:00. I cut a verse as well as lengthy (and repetitive) guitar solos. I almost wish I had left some of them in now.
Here are the lyrics for those of you born after the song was popular. I'm guessing that's most of you. ;)
{Refrain
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
{Refrain
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
{Refrain
No!
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
The center lights around your vanity
But surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)
Thanks to Scob, Batto and Judge for beta testing. And a big thanks to Scob for making me an honorary member of his studio about a year or so ago. I wanted to put an honorary video together, and just combined the two projects.
