Punch: *Smile* Let's go....we need to stop Bête Noire. Syaoran's group will be here soon. We have to leave now.

*Thump Thump*

Gilgamesh: ........................................!!

Punch: ...................!!

*Sonic reach Gilgamesh's hand and never ever to let him go and start to tears*

Sonic: No..........don't............

Gilgamesh: .................I need to.........

*Let go of Sonic's hand and left Sonic unconscious*

Peter: "Punch".....

Punch: Mr Gilgamesh......

Gilgamesh: I can't be near him......if I near him......he will end up hurt again......I can't......

*Thump Thump*

Gilgamesh: I'm sorry, my dear brother.....I'm really sorry........

Gilgamesh: I'm sorry, my dear brother.

Sonic: -----!! Golden King!

Gilgamesh: It's because of me that you suffered for such a long time.

Sonic: No...that's not.....

Gilgamesh: I apologize for everything, my dear brother.

Sonic: No! Don't---!! DON'T LEAVE US ALONE!!

Everyone heads to their fallen ally. Sonic hurried to Gilgamesh and knew his body was dead and he wasn't alive anymore then Sonic placed his hand on Gilgamesh with a heartbroken and grief. Punch walks towards Gilgamesh's carcass. We then see everything from Punch's perspective with everyone absent. Punch picks up Gilgamesh's body.

Gilgamesh: As long as you exist, I don't have feelings of despair anymore. I want you to exist....."me". Punch: Thanks for returning these

Punch: How could I forget? Back then you once said you want to protect me and go conquering the Great Sea of Stars together.

Gilgamesh: At last I finally get my life as "Punch" back again.

Sonic: Punch.....since the day I born to this world, you're also the first family I ever loved.....but still I couldn't do anything to save you even our promise......

Gilgamesh: You did save me on that time with Peter.

Sonic: But I couldn't save you in time!! We did promise that we will go together and not left behind!

Gilgamesh: But you came for me....Sonic.....that's good enough.....

You are the sun That comes on summer winds You are the falling year That autumn brings You are the wonder and the mystery In everything I see The things you are to me All the things you are... to me

The reason behind Punch Whalen is "Whalen" ==>heart of nature(Like “Walden” by henry David Thoreau )

That's why The Things You Are To Me Secret Garden is important and direct connect to Punch. In “Secret Garden,” Springsteen paints a portrait of a woman who is well-versed in physical intimacy but finds it difficult to submit to any emotional intimacy. “[This song is] centered around the mysteries that remain between partners, even [in] the closest of relationships,” Springsteen once explained (per Genius).

Conclusion: Secret Garden" is supposed to be a meditative linger on being unable to get close to someone you want desperately to be close to. The song connect how much Gilgamesh yearn to be together with Sonic and Punch(Dearest the most of all the world even treasure) but unable to be together despite his fate of death. No matter how much Gilgamesh wanted desperately to be close to.....😢 😭This is the tragic life that King Gilgamesh chose to walk.

Translated: The song "What is a youth" from the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet should be a very familiar melody to everyone. Youth is truly invincible and reminds me of my teenage years.

Bouns: Transitory nature of life and love

The theme of the song "What is a Youth?" in the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet is the transitory nature of life and love. The lyrics highlight the fleeting quality of youth and beauty, emphasizing that nothing endures forever.

#anastasia #once upon a december #music analysis #anastasia 1997

Translated from Persian

Anastasia - Once Upon a December (1997) In this amazing animation, which is considered one of the most beautiful animation nostalgia, the piece "Once upon a time in December" plays a key role in conveying regret and hope for the future with its pleasant melody and deep poetry. The song deals with Anastasia's past memories of her time living with the royal family. He sings about the "warm and magnificent palace" and the "love and happiness" he experienced during that time. But these sweet memories turn bitter with a sad image of the "dark night" that took his family away from him. The combination of the sad melody and the sentimental lyrics of "Once Upon a Time in December" with the beautiful voice of Liz Callaway has made this piece one of the most memorable animated songs of all time. This song remains in the viewer's mind not only while watching the animation, but also for a long time afterwards and keeps a strange sense of nostalgia alive in him.

Music: Sad Cello Solo If you are my love

Peter: But that doesn't mean I will stop looking out for you! Not now, not ever!

Punch: Peter........

Gilgamesh: Why.......? Why can't you just leave me alone? You don't know the first thing about me?!

Peter: But I do. I know you more than anyone else in the world....I know you care about the pain of others.

Gilgamesh: ..............! *His voice inside sadness and hurt*

Peter: You care, Gil. That's the reason I still do not give up on you no matter how much you change.

Gilgamesh: Because I chose to have this curse..........I thought I had been doomed to a life of solitude. Until the day I vanished from this world, I knew I would be alone.......I will end up like Enkidu.

Peter: And now?

Peter grabs Gilgamesh's hand and grips him tight to let him know he's not alone. Gilgamesh tried to hold his sadness back.......in front of his group.

Peter: That's your misunderstanding. Punch. Remember what you said? One can bear the burden of only one person's death in their lifetime. You value this! And you know the pain of murder more than anyone else! I know you won't kill anyone without a reason! You've been lucky? Don't make a joke on me! Such luck wouldn't go on this long! You always used your own will to suppress that urge. People have different preferences. Yours happened to be murder. That's all! You told me that time that your urge to kill wasn't as strong as you thought. Seeing you say and smile. I was convinced you'd never kill anyone without a reason! Even if you will lose yourself one day, I know you'll be able to resist!

Gilgamesh: What do you mean by "I know for sure"? HOW DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW, PETER?!

Peter: Because you're kind.

Gilgamesh: You never change, do you? My other self......Punch once said I hate that part of you......

Anonymous asked:

Hey! I had a dream that I was a child in a small Mesopotamian city; I drew the layout as soon as I woke up and all was built with blue tiles (resembling the Ishtar gate). We were playing in the mud of a field, but soon returned home. On the door there was a name of a war song and I remember us singing it and marching back to the fields. We stopped for a second and then continued the march with deep adult voices, as if going to war. Can you recommend some reading on music in that period?

protoindoeuropean answered:

I wish I had dreams like that, wow! Unfortunately, though, I’m really out of my depth here, as I’m neither a historian (– even if that period of history in that region interests me a lot, I do not know nearly enough about it to comment on anything) nor a musician… The only thing on the topic I do know about is this article, which I also can’t really assess the quality/reliability of.

Not exactly the same thing, but @sisterofiris has made some really awesome recordings of ancient texts and I’d consider her better equipped to answer this, but she’s on hiatus right now. Someone like @michi-izkur-ereshkigal would also be a better addressee…

@protoindoeuropean thanks for tagging me !

When it comes to music in Mesopotamia, it’s not necessarily just “music,” as we know it. The various musical compositions include: full length stories, hymns, and lamentations, among others.

For example: Here is a nice version of an excerpt from The Epic of Gilgamesh and another on The Flood.

🎶

Music was large part of the Mesopotamian cultures, both inside the temple in a religious setting and outside with the lives of average people. Music was everywhere.

“Music both instrumental and vocal, played a large role in Sumerian life, and some of the musicians were important figure in temples and court. Beautifully constructed harps and lyres were excavated in the royal tombs of Ur. Percussive instruments such as the drum and tambourine, were also common, as were pipes of reed and metal. Poetry and song flourished in Sumerian schools. Most of the recovered works are hymns to gods and kings for use in the temples and palace; but there is every reason to believe that music, song, and dance were a major source of entertainment in the home and market place.” The Sumerians by Samuel Noah Kramer pg 100

“…music was an integral part of ancient Mesopotamian life. The images of inlaid plagues, carved seal stones, and sculpted reliefs transport us back to the world of sound. We watch the shepherd playing his flute as his dog sits and attentively listens. We revel with banqueters as a solo vocalist in the background raised here voice to the strains of a lyre . We repose in a palatial garden as a court hapist caresses his strings. We encamp with soldiers weary from a march as musicians play to sooth them. We clap our hands together with other spectators as two lines of dancers rhythmically advance toward one another and retreat. And we hear priests solemnly intone their temple hymns. So great, in fact, was a queen of Ur’s love for music she could not bear the thought of being in the afterworld without it; so, with with the help of a sleeping potion in the tomb she took her royal musicians with her into the beyond.” A Handbook to Life in Ancient Mesopotamia by Stephen Bertman pg 294 This book has a music section listed under “everyday life”, the section are pages 294-298, you can read the 295, 296, 298 here

This book has a lot of imagery with information:

🎶

Music was extremely important in the religion of Mesopotamia; one reason being it was the way they entertained the gods and expressed deep emotions religiously.

“Music and song were similarly required at those feasts. Thus it is quite likely that the official and ceremonial meals of the gods, especially the most festive ones, were accompanied by music from all sort of instruments: stringed (e.g., lyres and harps), wind (e.g., flutes, horns, and trumpets), and percussion (e.g., large and small drums, tambourines, bells, and rattles) which are rather well documented in our archives, even if it is not always possible to find their modern equivalent or relatives in our own instrumentation, nor to know the true nature of their melodies, or whether the music was accompanied by recited it sung lyrics…” Religion in Ancient Mesopotamia by Jean Bottero translated by Teresa Lavendar Pagan pg 131

“In the third millennium several instruments gave their name to compositions (tigi and adab, e.g. which were sorts of symbols; balag and zami, which were types lyres), obliquely evoking in this way their regular sonorous accompaniment, but also a certain number of constants in style, imagery, as well as “metric” and “strophic” structure—as so many distinct literary genre. There were also other categories of prayers: “dialogues” (balbale), which were sung or modulate by two people or two choruses, and “ersemma,” who’s name evoked the “plaintive” tonality (er in Sumerian was “tears,” “lamentation”), regularly preformed by female officiants, priestesses, their very test written in so-called feminine dialect (eme.sal) that was reserved for them in literature.” Boretto pg 137

“[The God] Ningirsu’s shifting moods were humored by two divine musicians, the “singer” Ushumgalkalama, who inspired the harp of that name and provided gaiety, and Lugaligihusham, the spirit of another harp that brought solace in dark moments.” Treasures of Darkness by Throkild Jacobsen pg 82

Even the Gods played their own music. From a lamentation where Inana is grieving for her husband Dumuzi’s death she cries:

“his reed pipe— the wind will have to play it; my husband’s songs— the north wind will have to sing them.” from The Wild Bull who has Laid Down, in Treasures of Darkness pg 53

This is a fantastic answer and I have nothing to add, apart from the fact that if you want to listen to original Mesopotamian music, we currently know of two preserved melodies from the Ancient Near East. One is a scale meant to help tune a lyre, dating back to 18th century BC Isin. The other is from 14th century BC Ugarit and is a fragmentary hymn to the Goddess Nikkal.

Some friends and I performed both melodies in concert last year, and you can listen to them here :)

岡部啓一 - Ashes of Dreams (Emi Evans & J’Nique Nicole Vocals)

Source: The meaning behind Ashes of Dreams

This song has more meaning than anyone may think when listening to it the first time.. actually, to understand it well you must have read Grimoire Nier..

Once there were trees full of birds Meadowlands vibrant with flowers Carefree the songs out children once sang Gilding our minutes and hours. Clouds came and covered the sun, The breath of a baleful unease Turning to ashes flowers in their field Silenced the birds in their trees.

Here it tells about the coming how the White Chlorination Syndrome.. how it destroyed the people's peacefuls lives.. Strive till the phantoms are broken Fight till the battle is done; The squadrons of night can't conquer the day, Nor shadows extinguish the sun. How mankind strived against the illness to survive and the battles fought against the Legion and the Red Eyes.. with none emerging as a winner..

For tho the storms are over and past, Tho the thunders rage is quieted at last While this nightmare's laid me down in the rags here to mourn, Here to mourn. The night has left us crippled with grief As we strive to keep alive our belief, But a loss so great, it clouds all our hopes for the dawn.

This is about the hereafter of the crisis.. people are turned into shades and although difficult, they strive to keep their hopes up to live again the lives they once led.. and escape extinction..

Hidden so deep in veils of deceit, Imprisoned in twisting spells Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams That we're telling ourselves, Telling our stories of danger, fearless attack, Spectres of plague and pain. All of these ghosts of our own delusions are back; Have we been fighting in vain? Fighting in vain?

The first sentence is about the humans being "hidden" in their gestalt form as shades and how it deceives the judgement of replicants.. The spectres of plague and pain are addressed to both the Legion and the extinction.. they "come back" as the continuity of mankind is menaced again, but this time by their own creation, the replicants.. Ending then with "have we been fighting in vain?" meaning that it has probably been all meaningless and extinction will eventually take place..

Ashes of Dreams was written by Emi Evans. She was given the assignment to make a melancholy ending theme for the game and, if I recall correctly, largely left to her own devices in order to do so. She nearly budged up against the deadline when she couldn’t find the right amount of depression while staying at an Okinawan resort (which is apparently beautiful and relaxing so it’s little wonder), and hoped that returning to London (for the dreary weather) and conferring with her father (for, um, advice) would help facilitate the process.

She made a pretty downbeat song and sent it in. Shortly after, she received a memo:

“Less hopeful.”

Emi went on to write the final version of Ashes of Dreams on the evening before the deadline, understandably stressed out and exhausted.

What she wrote was the final version of Ashes of Dreams, the only song on the soundtrack not written in nonsense and perhaps one of the least optimistic credit roll songs in the history of video games.

Gilgamesh: Punch.....and PUNCH's........me and my other self's dream. The dream that was painful and never attainable... Let's just say onl

By the conclusion, Ashes of Dreams hints that the story will more dark story, hopeless, despairing, about nightmares when they can't escape the curse of death, and no way to run away from the path they walk, the story is tied to Sonic, Punch, and Gilgamesh's journey after Tsofph Season 10(Chapter1 Vanish World).

Tomorrow will surely bring a silver rainbow over the beautiful sky

You turn such a sad scenery as this into light Even a teardrop falls like a jewel Towards the future

Until we cross the bridge to the other side of the lake Tomorrow will surely… bring the sweet and deep scents of Spring within the midday What do people search for when they awaken from a dream? (ildito ii somari adia) (ildito ii somari adia)

You take me to a world as bright as this I am still cowering from the radiance You gently hug my back

You turn the fragility of the things I believe in into light The tears in the morning I awake fall like jewels Towards the future

[begin rant]

next time I read about “the infamous ARIA performance” or “Hikaru no longer able to sing ARIA” I don’t know what

not even touching on this whole deranged trend that female singers are always expected to be unchangingly perfect & get hate whenever they fail those expectations in the slightest, while dudes can squeal and grunt and go off-key and fart into the mic to their hearts’ content & get away with it

what if, for Hikaru at least, ARIA is not all about pitch and duration

but instead it’s Ryougi freakin Shiki, neglected and empty and broken, then embraced and given a purpose

or maybe the voice of Maaya Sakamoto, who could well have sung it in-character, if Kalafina hadn’t taken over all the songs

(or even Tomoko Kawakami, who never even got to voice The Hollow Shrine but what if she did ~~and how do I unhear it now~~)

or just Hikaru herself, not how she sounded 10 years ago but how she felt, coming from nowhere into this grand project and facing the audience reaction which wasn’t all roses back then either but also feeling the support from fellow singers and Kajiura-san

or really whatever

regardless, if exploration of the drama behind the song called for shifting into a more comfortable key, then that’s what she should have done, period

and if some notes in the resulting performance fall short of stunning, it means there’s more about this song for her (and us by proxy) to discover, not “she can’t do it anymore” ffs

if she “can't” then explain oblivious and Eden she still does routinely with a bang

calling that performance “failed”, when no bit of it even counts as an emotional lapse or a technical mistake (unless you hold it to The Standard Metric ARIA from the International Bureau of Weights and Measures), is basically saying, “hey you there on stage, I don’t care what you think or feel about this song right now, just give me what I think I might have heard in it ten years ago, or go away”

like, if this is okay as a fan feedback, then what next, “Hikaru is dead and that’s her bodyguard” or what

[end rant]

concretebadger

^ THIS.

It saddens me a little that we still have to have this sort of discussion after all this time. If @putschki1969 hadn’t translated the passage in question, someone else would’ve done sooner or later, and could well have done it more clumsily/inaccurately than she did, and we’d still end up at this point regardless. Not much can be done about that.

As an aside: one person’s ignorance does not carry the same weight as another person’s knowledge, so don’t feel obliged to accept everything if it comes across as arrogant, self-centred bullshit. This sort of drama is why I avoid certain parts of the fandom; partly because it’s apparently impossible to have a civil and grown-up conversation about this sort of thing without someone acting like a spoiled child, and partly because being seen in the same thread as those people is frankly embarrassing. I shudder to think what the artists themselves would feel if they stumbled on it. Anyway. Back on-topic.

Do these people remember that the studio version of the song was recorded around the time of Hikaru’s twenty-first birthday, and she’s now pushing thirty? I think we can all agree that, on a professional and personal level, we’ve seen her learn and grow enormously over those nine years. There are SO MANY things that she can do now, or do better, than she could back then. Have they remembered that too?

It’s not uncommon for the performance of a song to change over time either, for many different reasons. Even if someone is unable to do something they used to do in exactly the same way, it may not even be because their ability has deteriorated. Her way of expressing herself may have changed…or maybe it was a change made to accommodate someone else’s needs. A loss of the top end of her vocal range - or at least, the loss of being able to do so consistently without risking her health - may be accompanied with an improvement in her lower registers.

Artists’ expression evolves over time, and the way a song is performed is likely to evolve accordingly…which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. e.g., Sprinter sounds better to me as a slow acoustic song, despite that not being how it was recorded originally. Some might prefer one or the other, but there’s no objective right answer.

In regards to the specific argument of changing the key of a song: as long as the instruments are in tune with each other, it might not necessarily be noticeable. Even if it is, there could be one or more of many different reasons. Yes, it may be more comfortable for Hikaru to sing it lower. Or the lower key may feel more appropriate from her, or the band’s POV in expressing the meaning of the song.

Artists shake up things like tempo, instrumentation or pitch of performances of songs for lots of different reasons. Sometimes it’s something as simple and practical as “we recorded this song in a certain key, but perform it in a different one so we don’t have to swap or retune instruments on stage.”

In my view, artistic expression is more complicated than simply creating an unchanging product to be presented to the audience on a plate. It’s a constant, evolving process where the artist balances their ability, their circumstances and what they want to convey with what the audience will interpret and feel. While it’s the singer’s job to perform to an acceptable standard, it’s not solely the listener’s prerogative to decide what’s right and wrong.
