[Song a Day] Akeboshi - Wind

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
