Ballad of Fallen Angels

[tonylaf123]

5 poeple are narutards who cant stand any old style graphics

[Chamillionare64]

@tonylaf123

You're wrong. This isn't just about "graphics", this is about atmosphere.

Keiko Nobumoto(writer of Cowboy Bebop) and her crew did a brilliant job at immersing the viewers into this anime. This scene is so powerful because of its writing, music, character development and animation.

[durinV]

Mute the first 11 sec,unmuted and you've the perfect song for the mp3

[LemonsRgo]

See you later, space cowboy...

[AlexTronic777]

What a trip Cowboy Bebop is. Sure hope they remaster this seriously groovy series.

[gabote82]

beethoven aproves this!

[NothinGToxiC91]

This was one of my favorite episodes of the series

[angiesuricata]

i love this theme but i still don't know what is this language, i read once yoko kanno made it in "kanno ish", made by her ...but sounds great, so melodic and says something like :

Meria mortre ever greet shawel Graing graing gra ( graing graing gra ) Mertis a moti e chest a gron tu Saing saing sa ( saing saing sa ) Mi af marka dia on di eva green

[sickanddumb]

so beautiful

[flamptioness]

Amazing that episode 5 has such an impact. Movies cant pull off what these 5 episodes with this great scene did.

[mongeku1000]

OH K WHO THE FUCK KNOWS WHERE I CAN GET THIS ON ITUNES

[IooSCORPIONooI]

"Do not fear Death. Death is always by our side, if we show fear it will jump at us faster than light, but if we do not show fear, death casts his gentle eye upon us and guides us into infinity…" - Laughing Bull

[Badassofski]

Shit gives me the chills

[Xallisto1]

Bakamonogatari if you prefer something more dialogue driven, Beck, Nodame Catabile if you would like something musical theres loads of great anime about loads of different things even things that u might think must be mundane are often awesome even an anime based of the old Japanese board game of Go (Hikaru No Go) at 1st i though how good could it be really? the answer is its awesome.

[ClOuDpUnChEr92]

Nice

[wong671wong]

sounds like Christmas!!!! Kanno Yoko RULES!!!!

[triremegod]

Bang.

[WangstazZ]

i love when it gets to 1:08 around that area. & that piano part sounds amazing.

[danielkjohansson]

Trigun700 said it all.

[leodiaz117816]

this song is 100 better then justin faggot

[fudanchu]

Love this - a children's choir makes anything awesome, especially when it's out of place!

[bosoxg]

possibly the best scene ever drawn

[Rachman1337]

This song is so fucking beautiful.

[badcat1226]

Tone def.

[Chickenadobokid]

This is a song you would want to listen to when you'r DYING!

[MRrobcraft]

one of my fav music sequences ever.

[heathenbreathinfire]

@lelouch31able YES

[XXGDUBSXX]

"You sing off key" hahaha

[1poptart36]

sooo... he kind of ..fell .....

[billyez]

Great quality here.

[rob6van1dam9]

best scene of Cowboy Bebop, such a good episode

[Momentum139]

"The music box is broken. Or is it? It starts to play and a haunting tune fills the air. I awake suddenly from my dream - there IS no music box and yet there it is! A tiny one... nestled in my hand. And I awake from my dream again as if I were peeling an onion. It's a dream no matter how far I go, I can never reach reality. Trapped in an endless nightmare." ~ Spike Spiegel.

[br00tul]

This is what anime wishes it could accomplish nowadays.

[XXGDUBSXX]

@br00tul It can't ?

[kwloy]

@br00tul yep, unfourtunantly the only good anime of late has been FMA, and FMAB

[Xallisto1]

@kwloy nonsense!!! there has been plenty of good anime, Death Note, Monster, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Bacanno, Code Geass even Cross Game is awesome as far as sports anime go.

[Dohgang]

work of art

[shokeydog]

this song is the best and with cowboy bebop is even better,although it sucks that they leave fay and ed on earth,and that spike dies.

[KidRaggedBoy]

@TheHatSteamer Yoko Kanno is the composer.

[85000]

how did he survive a fall from...... oh wait he is spike he did some kung fu kick and landed chuck norris style

[garfaloonarunner]

I always get the goosebumps from this no matter what. Best Anime sequence of all time!

[ghettodawg78]

i cannot get this song of my head its to addicting and one of the best scenes in cowboy bebop

[cesc2064]

who doesnt love this scene? i love it

[Duwap73]

Man...that scene makes my hair stand on end like nothing else.

Cowboy Bebop forever!

[bottledmagic]

Makes me soo nostalgic... :)

[rufinariojasx]

the range he is allowed is distinctly limited. Play this movie @ Movie Watcher [.] US

[MonkeyJoe92]

This makes me want to give up on life. I know I'll never do anything close to this greatness.

[Katimashi]

great episode. this song rocks hard.

[dougbsu]

By far the best scene from when he first walks into the church unti you see the ...See ya next time Cowboy. The song is one of those haunting melodies I'll find myself whistling days after I hear it. The montage showing when they were friends up until the hand grenade blows out the stained glass window. Absolutely BRILLIANT!

[KickenItOldSchool]

Cowboy bebop is better in English

just saying

[hcig]

@KickenItOldSchool

it is, the voice acting is superb, same with samurai champloo, and full metal alchemist.

eureka seven is horrible though, naruto and bleach too.

[Paumonsu]

What's the nam of the song Julia's singing?¿?¿¿?

[shokeydog]

@Paumonsu julias not singing it but look on some other videos for this episode it will tell you

[shokeydog]

@Paumonsu oh yeah the songs name is green bird

[parigod]

Shame this is never on television anymore. It's \ the best anime I've ever seen no doubt.

[avatartbk]

This scene is one of the greatest ever made in all of Anime. Cowboy Bebop will always remain one of the best.

[animeisland420]

Spike is saying 'if i am to die, GODDAMN IT!!!!!!! i am taking u with me!!!!!!!'

[LobsterJohnson2]

Greatest scene in all of anime.

[astronut2004]

Bebop and gungrave are the best ever!!!

[LlanaG]

Noooooooooooooooooo!!! Spiku-San!!!! I hate it when that happens... :( sob sob.... So long space cowboy.

[dannyboy11490]

this is seriously the most bad ass title for such a bad ass episode

[Twilight182]

This scene was awesome, but it is nothing compared to episode 26

[HooperXP]

I love this episode, even though its summer this part sends shivers down my spine no matter how much I see it

[DarkProject]

I suggest you guys watch Gungrave, if you liked Bebop, and Trigun, than you will love Gungrave: a mix of scifi (4 eps) and an oldskool mobster story ala godfather (20 eps) very NICE!!!

also great song and vid xd

[cappykid2008]

I love Cowboy Bebop and this is one of my favorite parts in the series

[pctwins]

The most epic scene in anime ever.

[TRIGGERKING81]

@pctwins TRUE

[mymindisgone01]

he took one hell of a fucking fall!

[Ultrigo]

Whenever I watch this, I always wonder if Spike's asking himself questions as he falls. Things like "Did I do the right thing?" or maybe "Why did we have to end up like this?".

[xblindx]

like wolfewood?

[xX0Isaac0Xx]

hehe trigun, also one epic anime

[BlazeBlazin]

Lmao @ Spike is a sly fucker

[PenguinDemonRyuzaki]

Spikes a sly fucker. He looks so peaceful when falling. The music goes with this part so well. My heart wouldn't stop racing.

[MeXLuffy]

Such a beautiful song, Cowboy Bebop is certainly one of the anime masterpieces.

[wachutalkinboutbitch]

its a poetic tragedy

[dcrcjoo]

why could I never succeed...

[crittendon1]

what is the name of the backround music when spike is falling?

[munahmsaf]

song is called green bird, cant remember who sang it :P

[MeXLuffy]

Actually, it's usually called Ballad of A Fallen ANgel, just as the title of the vid. :)

[BlazeBlazin]

It's Called Green Bird

[redfieldTnT]

Spike what a guy.

[premolatino]

See thats what I love about spike hes always ready to die, he's not even screaming or anything.

[ryooky4]

like where do u download it?

[19thejman89]

this might be one of the best songs ever!!!

i love it. also one of the best series i have ever seen!!!

[lbeechinor09]

Umm actually you're all wrong...The song that's playing when Spike and Vicious are talking is called "Rain." The name of the song when he's falling out the window is called "Green Bird". "Rain" is on the OST album No.1. I'm not sure what album "Green Bird" is on.

[Barlmoro]

i know it becurse one of my friends have the OST

[Barlmoro]

The name of the song is reale Ballad of Fallen Angels and is from yoko Kano (the Bandleader of the seatbelts)

[searphin]

whats this songs name and what artist does it? i luv it

[trepanatedman]

someone answer!

[akaluisdaly]

Its called Ballad of Fallen Angels

By: Green Bird

[AkitoHayama01]

thanks man i been wreaching my brain trying to figure it out

[Dagreat]

song is called Green Bird by yoko kanno although alot of people call it ballad of fallen angels because of the episode name

[jongipson]

Damn, this show is still amazing, i want it to come back XP

[DarkGexx]

Greatest scene of anime!!! Long live to Cowboy Bebop.

[ptmccann1]

@DarkGexx Agreed. Even if you don't like anime, you cannot doubt the absolute genius of this.

[5T0N3R420]

I believe ball of fallen angels is the name of the episode, not the song. I don't even think there WAS a song name Ballad of Fallen Angels. Just (In the) Rain, Green Bird, and ah shit I forget.

[Trigun700]

The name of the song is Green Bird, also one of my favorite scenes of the entire anime, it's absolutely briliant.

[jvigg778]

wats this song called and its not balled of fallen angels

[Manuelvillamizar]

una escena mui sensible

[jvigg778]

really sad

[bellaintokyo]

Best anime ever!

[TheDarkOne666x]

the first time i watched this show i saw this scene and it got me hooked. i mean this song made the scene perfect. he falls from the window, throws a grenade, and sees his life flash before his eyes. perfect

[gravethebeyond]

I love this ^_^

[ookamihumor]

nevermind, it is his right.. session 6 was a dead giveaway as to which eye it was.

[ookamihumor]

Is it his right or left eye? It looks so much like his left eye when he "views the past"

Great moment non the less

[marginaldamage]

This is so beautiful.

[mrnoobJI]

what language is the song in?

[Informant9]

Japanese, sung by Gabriela Robin, I mean Yoko Kanno, haha...

[mrnoobJI]

really? it sounds so much like french, but ill trust ya, ill go look up the lyrics now ^_^

[Informant9]

I thought the same, but now I have the original soundtrack, and the Green Bird lyrics are written in japanese.

[rsc390]

Actually, i've read that the words sung in the song are completely made up (supposedly by the singer that Yoko Kanno chose for the song). Cool huh?

The japanese lyrics you found are simply what the words are supposed to mean.

[Informant9]

Ooh great! That's why I admire Yoko Kanno, very innovative ideas. Thanks so much for the information rsc390.

[Symphonya90]

There's a Japanese translation for this song, but the lyrics you hear in the video are from a made up language by Yoko Kanno.

[Jsitnigclkeys]

Just watched this episode. Gotta say, not many animes contain as much emotion as Cowboy Bebop.

[FREEDOMLEADER]

this is the episode that got me into the cowboy bebop series

[Saccarine]

I've just seen this episode and it's already one of my favorites ever. Everything from the classic shootout to this scene is just superb. What a great song.

[aznbigtymer510]

I love the song

[griftershadow]

Greenbird is the song name

[BALLZZ83]

@griftershadow , was the song made for the show? I have searched it and cant find an original.

[parigod]

Anyone know the name of the song that plays while he falls?

[ronbradley13]

In you in space cowboy..........bang

[Raziel682]

english is not your first language is it?

[MichaelBarnes]

LMAO

[Raziel682]

seriously what the hell does that mean

[MichaelBarnes]

He wants get in a space cowboy and bang them?

[Raziel682]

what? do you even read what you type?

[MichaelBarnes]

My try at humor is lost.

[kanemaru18]

dont u mean see u space cowboy?

[manbearpig63]

God, let's face it, Cowboy Bebop is the greatest anime of all time. And if you disagree with me, then Cowboy Bebop at the very least has the greatest music of all time. "Green Bird" (title of the song) is so delicate and moving, it's almost too beautiful. Cowboy Bebop > everything.

[hackfreak]

i totally agree it is one of THE BEST animes eever.

did u know that it was made as a tribute to bruce lee?

[manbearpig63]

really? oh that makes the show more badass than it already is! holy crap that's awesome!

[Raziel682]

thats not true. the top guy was all like: "I want a show with space ships in it". thats how Cowboy Bebop came to existence. Don't beileive me? watch the interveiws.

[PockyBebop]

I can't believe how a simple idea such as "a show with space ships" turned into the modern masterpiece that it Cowboy Bebop. I'm amazed by it!

Cowboy is my favorite anime and one of the greatest anime of all time.

[DKH15GSL]

Yeah it is! And You're so right on about the music!  Rain, greenbird, memory, cats on mars, and julia. Julia, which apparently is actually called Juliet, always gives me this calming sensation when I hear it.

[MyChemikalSuicide]

This is the best insert song that I have ever heard in my entire life. This song makes me want to cry. For some reason, a lot of japanese/anime songs can make emotions come

[hackfreak]

and that was one big ass grenade

[Brickwallon3]

I kinda don't understand how he fall on the ground from that high and still be able to walk.

[axelgirlfriend]

^_^ Hes spike He never gives up

Btw I love this song and Spike XD

[ellipsis00]

yeah, and it took him like 2 minutes to fall what, 8 floors?

(sarcasm)

[Jackassbobby112]

LOL!!

[devinestes]

first episode i ever saw and fell in love with it

[mikesnipe360]

where can I get the original of this song every time I look it up I get the hip hop virsion. I would rather have the original.

[combogalis]

Best scene in any movie or television show ever.

[Ebonytears12]

Amen.

[ditzipixi]

thas tru. i love this song and scene! this cartoon shudnt hav stoped!

[Virgilthepagan]

um, yes it should have given its ending

[thefury187]

i like that song goes so well with the clip

[alpha10th]

The best scene ever. Because of this scene, I just can't watch any AMV using Greenbird as their BGM. This and only this scene goes with the music. Simply Irreplaceable.

[iranoutofusernames]

so true.

[SamFisher946]

Very good clip

[martinbennett2003]

this song goes well with cowboy bebop

[mb131rc]

love it a shit ton. (that's a lot)

[EdwardElric171]

OMG GRIFTER CAN I SUCK YOUR penis

[EdwardElric171]

OMG GRIFTER CAN I SUCK YOUR PENIS

[begone77]

Green bird is the song

[Aerith]

I've been a huge fan of Cowboy Bebop...and still am.

I'm just said ti starts to dissapear from the internet =(

[thetrueskepsis]

Man... That's cool

[bouncer1989]

beautiful song

[biiiw]

my favorite episode ^^

[ChakramsAlex]

Right on, i'm glad Sunrise didn't screw you like they screwed me. Great vid.

[Alondro77]

I've been watching anime for 20 years, and this scene stands out as one of the single best of all time. Visually, thematically, musically, and story relevancy are all perfect; it's simply a stunning scene.

[SIRRAMBO]

i love this episode so mutch. thx for putting this clip on.

[Ikapitanzurseei]

This is the anime for the mature person...No fantasy and bullshit sword play just bounty hunters and cigarettes...

[NightwingRobin234]

Hell yes! This part is pretty sweet.  And this song is called Green Bird.
