[Song a Day] Akeboshi - Wind

[justira]

Part of the Song a Day Project!

Like a lot of other folk, I learned about this song through Naruto; it's the music for the anime's first ending theme. To this day, it's my favourite ending: I LOVE the visuals, love the song, love how they work together. So above the cut, I'm posting the Naruto Ending 1 version because man I really want people to see the beautiful visuals paired with the song; but as that only uses about a third of the full song, I'm also including a full version below the cut. The lyrics are for the full version.

Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry 'cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

Akeboshi - Wind

Cultivate your hunger, before you idealize
Motivate your anger, to make them all realize
Climbing the mountain, never coming down
Break into the contents, never falling down

My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve
Sneakin' out the classroom, by the back door
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care
Waiting is wasting, for people like me

Don't try to live so wise
Don't cry 'cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

Don't try to look so wise
Don't cry 'cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

You say, dreams are dreams
I ain't gonna play the fool anymore
You say, 'cause I still got my soul
Take your time baby
Your blood needs slowin' down
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom
Reflection of fear makes shadow of nothing
Shadow of nothing
You still are blind if you see winding road
'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see

Don't try to look so wise
Don't cry 'cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

Don't try to look so wise
Don't cry 'cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

Don't try to look so wise
Don't cry 'cause you're so right
Don't dry with fakes or fears
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end

This is also the best ending theme ever in my opinion! I loved it when I was watching Naruto.

I know, it is so pretty! I can think of a few other ending themes (across various series) I really like, but this one is definitely way, way up there! I will have to post some of the others =D

Also until I saw the latter vid I did not know Akeboshi was so attractive >.>
