  I'd wanted to do an AMV for Sango and Kohaku for a long time, but I could never find the right song (without there being some creepy incestuous undertones). Finally, and completely acidentally I found the right song that struck me as being Sango-esque within the first verse. In the tradition of Second Element (whom I aspire to in editing) the video is kept very simple, but I think I worked around the lyrics enough to make a connection. I don't know if there are many Sango and Kohaku AMVs out there, (typically I only see SangoXMiroku) but their story had always struck me as being so tragic that an AMV was definetly called for. I really love the song and I was happy to do this AMV for what in my opinion is the saddest story in Inuyasha.
  
  A very sad song for a very sad story.
  
  And about the ending, it may seem a bit unprofessional of me- something I would normally never do, but somehow when I made it, it just seemed appropriate. Not sure why, but I don't regret it really. I didn't have the means to work around it at the time.
  
  Lyrics:
  
  -Never is a promise-
  
  You’ll never see the courage I know
  Its colors’ richness won’t appear within your view
  I’ll never glow - the way that you glow
  Your presence dominates the judgements made on you
  
  But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
  The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
  My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
  I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
  
  You’ll say you understand, but you don’t understand
  You’ll say you’d never give up seeing eye to eye
  But never is a promise, and you can’t afford to lie
  
  You’ll never touch - these things that I hold
  The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
  You’ll never feel the heat of this soul
  My fever burns me deeper than I’ve ever shown - to you
  
  You’ll say, don’t fear your dreams, it’s easier than it seems
  You’ll say you’d never let me fall from hopes so high
  But never is a promise and you can’t afford to lie
  
  You’ll never live the life that I live
  I’ll never live the life that wakes me in the night
  You’ll never hear the message I give
  You’ll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
  
  But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
  The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
  My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights
  I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you
  
  You’ll say you understand, you’ll never understand
  I’ll say I’ll never wake up knowing how or why
  I don’t know what to believe in, you don’t know who I am
  You’ll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
  But never is a promise and I’ll never need a lie
  
  
  
  Thanks for watching. Maybe leave me my first opinion, eh? ;)
