Yoko Kanno and Ilaria Graziano "I Can't Be Cool"

[ekd4594]

It might be more appropriate to say it means "sense"???

[TGSHokuto]

"senti" in italian means" feel"

[Arinozian]

Everyone keeps translating "senti" as "listen." Doesn't senti mean "feel?"

[AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

@Arinozian In Portuguese at least the equivalent (verb "sentir", to feel) can mean both, depends on the context. Although "listen" is a very rare interpretation one, it is more "listen" in the sense "feel the subtle messages", "feel the changes", "feel the ambient" (I don't even know if it makes sense in English, anyway). ^^

[Eejiptchik]

this song is so cool

[girltrophy]

mm

[fungunner]

Beautiful song.

[TinoMexineoMtz]

must not listen to pandora anymore

ill continue finding these epic songs and my face will explode due to an overdose of epicosity...

[Gerardgrx]

you white ppl cant tell the difference in languages huh?? yall suck!! as ive always said, americans are ignorants and will suddenly stop being the first power

[fungunner]

@Gerardgrx Wow, what rock did you crawl from out under? America is like most places on earth, we have good parts and bad, good caring people and folks a lot like you. I am an American and have traveled most of this planet for one reason or another, and I have been treated pretty well for the most part when away from home. So try using your native writing to complain before trying english, and maybe you might get taken seriously (I've never seen the word "ppl" before ). получил в ад

[timelord9797]

@Gerardgrx HE JUST DROPPED A PHILOSOPHICAL BOMB ON YOU!!!!!!! 

[Shirubia1616]

In english the song should sound like this:

Don't you think that now is the right moment to understand to be no more quiet?

Listen.. The voices are selling pointless richness, a power 's deceit that will consume air

I can'be cool between chains, I can't be cool with closed eyes, under the remains of a heavy sleep made of wars in the name of God

[Shirubia1616]

Do you think of possessing your life under the control of greedy men?

Listen.. The voices that want to find peace are obfuscated by powerful sovereigns of darkness

I can't be cool without words, I can't be cool without reacting because I already know that indifference closes the gates of humanity

Now an other reality; you will have the biggest gift, it will be your liberty

Listen..

[kefsound]

Anyone else interested in having the Italian part translated?

[Chann223]

Where can I find the translated lyrics at?

[Chann223]

where can I find the tranlated lyrics at?

[Chann223]

What language is she singing in?

[estylon]

@Chann223

[Chann223]

@estylon Ok. Thanks.

[ORTmusic]

Who's the megababe?

[TheLifePerfect]

I wanna troll, but I like this song too much to care about randoms on the net. xD

[AnarchoPinkoEuroBr]

@TheLifePerfect Me too. xD @aussieconservative +1

[aussieconservative]

@gasdfw5 Stalin had some troubles. LOL

[aussieconservative]

@gasdfw5 oh come on dude ive been in love with yoko kanno and her music for years but the music and this series is littered with socialist content. how can you watch SAC 2 2nd gig without noticing the references to che guvara and the like. Furthermore what is wrong with a socialist being a socialist why is it that when people have these views they keep it to themselves. I'm a libertarian and proud of it.

[IceSpiritS9]

This song is amazing and fits well when major dives into the net! I love how her voice is nice and yet conveys a powerful message!

[rookie66]

2:10 in to the song is when I officially acknowledged this song as awesome instead of cool

[KingestKon0780]

It's about socialism trust me!!! Rather you believe my point of view or not really doesn't matter because it's a kick ass song period, nuff said".

[Bandit7tgirl]

This song has a form of mystery in it, I guess that's why I like it...other than that it's friggen amazing!!!

[KingestKon0780]

The anger comes form suffering under a socialist society. Basically she's saying she can't stay calm when people are suffering around her; if she did that it would close off all humanity within her. Now I understand why the song sounds the way it does. After I read the lyrics I understood that "stand up" kind of feel to it.

[TaurusType]

What's the tone of this song? I've always wondered about that. I feel like it's angry, but I can never really tell...

[fireO5]

@TaurusType

Its Frustration, Read The Lyrics And Imagine Living Under A Dictator That Contorls EVERY Aspect Of Your Life... Its The Feeling You Get After Losing a Fight, After Losing Control And Mostly After Losing Your Freedom...

[TaurusType]

@fireO5 I know, I've read the lyrics. But sometimes the mood of a song's melody and it's written lyrics can bring out different emotions. I was just wondering what everyone felt by hearing the song alone.

[fireO5]

@TaurusType

It Was The Same With Me, Before I Read The Lyrics It Still Came Across As Frustration, But You're Right Songs Do Differ In Opinion Depending On The Person And The Mood

[TaurusType]

@fireO5 So what's the feeling you get at 0:00 - 0:49? I've always wondered about that part too...

[fireO5]

@TaurusType

Her Words (Although Lyrical) Seem Slightly Urgent (The Bass Is what Gives The Hint) It Falls Into a Slightly Rushed Pattern (Although Minor, Still Noticeable) I Think It Was Brilliantly Done Because The Tension Builds To That Point At which Its Released At 0.47 (Before Your 0.49 Mark) Definitely A Great Song :D

[SpikeJKD]

AMAZING song for a perfect anime ;)

[ZeF2007inc]

Ilaria has the most beautiful vocals I have ever heard.

[MrMrMr001]

You think of possessing it, your life, Under the control of greedy men? The voice that desires to find peace is obscured by a powerful sovereign of darkness. I cant be cool without words, I cant be cool without reacting, I cant be cool because I know already that indifference Closes the gateway of humanity. in the violence of mankind. If you want another truth, a greater gift, it will be your liberty. Listen!

[KingestKon0780]

@MrMrMr001

Thanx for the lyrics.

[tildtombraider007]

I love this song! XD Does anyone know where you can get a translation for the non-English bits?

[HisLordshipTheOwl]

Google "I can't be cool" lyrics. Information science to the rescue!

[DarkRavenII]

Just about my favorite song ever made!!! Love it!

[VoodooPriestess]

[blackblood]

[KeenaMadblood]

BTW, you will most likely hear much more from Yoko Kanno and the various Multi lingual bands since Steven Spielberg (Dreamworks) bought the rights to Ghost in the Shell from BANDI entertainment.

[laviah19]

[skyunending]

Technically, the first episode of Ghost in the Shell, Stand Alone Complex, 2nd Gig, is the video. It is the Song in the scene of the beginning of the series were the Major Motoko Kusanagi out performs the SWAT team by shooting the terrorist in the head and then falling from the window of the 43rd floor of the building as the police watch in awe.

[linxZuraith]

Okehs.

[punkheartsanime]

do you mean Otaku?

[linxZuraith]

Oh fuck no.

I meant Ok.

I just added a ehs to it.

[punkheartsanime]

Ah, sorry. Most people I know spelt it wrong, so I was just wondering.

[linxZuraith]

Nope.

Besides I hate that word and term.
