  • That was so beautiful -3

  • It's so beautiful! I almost cried when i heard this version of Lilium!

  • wooww que cancion tan hermosa, la primer que lo vi me conmovio, genial el video

  • you should do ariels voice getting taken

  • Thumbs up if you would have been lucy's friend. cause I would :)

  • Beautiful beautiful work!

  • Elfen Lied made me sob. It was so amazing. Your cover is fantastic and beautiful Kate. Amoena (lovely) -3

  • Miss Kate, this absolutely gave me goosebumps. This gave me more of an impression of innocence, somehow, rather than the sad and dramatic sound of the original...I don't know...maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about.

    But this is brilliant and hauntingly beautiful. I swear you have an angel's voice. :)

  • i adore this kate

  • haunting song turned heavenly

  • I've done this song and hearing your version made me think there are a lot of ways to do this song. Yours was awesome!!!!

  • I would die if this got removed from YouTube! I love Elfen Lied~~

  • @QueenAlexiaAshford27 Me too i would just die if this was ever removed.

  • This is the first video by you I've ever seen........*clicks subscribe*

  • 19 people don't have any sense of talent in them

  • elfenlied... i guess the name of the anime is german... xD... no, i know it's german ^^

    beautiful version of the song <3

  • Can u sing Still Doll from Vampire Knight, plz?

  • Omy gawd!!! You are amazing I love this song!!

  • Very beautiful indeed. Must have taken some time to compose, I take.

  • this is a beautiful song, and your voice is beautiful as well. i could listen to this over and over. its wonderful! love it!

  • @katethegreat19 =) you should sing the song Sora from Escaflowne, youd be WONDERFUL for that song!!

  • Comment removed

  • OMG! I love you for singing this song! It one of my favs and you made it sound even better!

  • I like this version better than the original. :D

    Both are good, of course, but I really like your take on the voice. I think the soft way in which you sang gave the lyrics a sad, innocent quality and it seems very fitting.

    Great job. I love it.

  • Hey Kate, I'm just curious of what kind of music arranger you use. Could you tell me what program you use?

  • @Comicgirl111 Hmm I'm not sure there even is a program like that O.o; I arrange things the normal way (by trial and error) and use real acoustic instruments. Usually takes me a month or so ^w^; For my recording program, I use Sony Vegas, it allows me to record my harp and vocal tracks separately and put them all together.

  • @katethegreat19 Hmm. I See. Since I sing and play musical instruments myself, I was just wondering how you arranged everything so nicely. When I try it,it's either off tempo or the vocals get mixed up. ºωº; So... yeah... Also I'm not sure if I should upload my song covers to youtube. 0//_//0 I'm too nervous. A lot of my friends say I should, but...I don't know.

    (Sorry, I'm a big musical geek and have the worlds smallest ego.) ;v;

  • @Comicgirl111 I have around 8 years of arranging and composing experience, which helps ^w^; I usually sing with my harp, guitar, or piano, so I will come up with a main accompaniment on one of those three that will play all the way through. I then record that. Then while listening to that, I come up with the other parts for other instruments. The parts won't go off tempo if you are able to record them while listening on headphones to the other parts. ^_~

  • This should be more popular!

  • 18 people were killed by the hands of Lucy.

    By the way Kate, this is an excellent cover! I liked it so much that I downloaded the song for myself.

  • its not letting me download :(

  • CAn you tell me what lyrics is from 1:40 ?

  • Comment removed

  • Miss Kate, there are days when I am walking down the crowded street looking into the throes of faceless strangers and I feel like ripping their limbs apart in a fountain of blood with the vectors that I wish I had...but then I hear this song in my head and the greatest feeling of calm and peace comes over me. I love your voice ^.^

  • my elfen lied lol

  • well done, but you could have done it a bit slower.. well who cares.. beautiful! :)

  • Every time I hear a terrible cover of this song, I come listen to your's to sooth my aching ears.

  • what anime is this if it is one?

  • @karatekidie

    Elfen Lied. It's a rather gorey and sad anime. Be preparred, there is nudity, but either way, its a great anime. It's my favorite short series (I believe there is 12 episodes and 1 OVA)

  • @SeraphsStolenVoice oh yh i tried watching it but you have to be 18~+ so i cant

  • Your voice is very sweet. Great version of Lillium!! *****

  • oh holy x)

  • OMG!!

    It's sooo beautiful!

  • I used to think I'd get tired of listening to this eventually. But it still gives me goosebumps. ^^

  • nice version.... as good as the original i might say!!! I APPLAUD YOU!!

  • I love it, Elfen lied is my favorite anime ever

  • @garnetangelofdarknes Mine too. :-)

    But i wished kouta would forgive lucy for killing his family, he should have asked why.

  • @Pikminlinkfan23

    "But i wished kouta would forgive lucy for killing his family..."

    wut.

  • @Ashestoashesjc In the anime lucy saw kouta with his cousin yuka, at a festival which he lied to her saying that it was a guy and her DNA voice came and told her to kill that's when she hunted down first: She killed kouta's sister, kanine and his father, and she was going to kill yuka but kouta stopped her.

  • @Pikminlinkfan23

    No, no. I know what happened. Um, but just imagine someone killing your ENTIRE family and then imagine forgiving that person. Imagine how impossible that is. IMAGINE IIIIIIT.

  • @Ashestoashesjc WEll miss high and mighty kouta's father and sister are his only family!

  • this song is so awesome that I put it in my ipod

  • I got chills down my spine. A truly beautiful cover.

  • Lol been a fan for a while but i just got a channel and this and Aeriths theme are what put me to sleep at night. Thanks Kate, like your works bunches.

  • omg, this is so beautiful! *-*

    i love it. <3

  • so beautiful... made me cry

  • ~@katethegreat19~ i'm not a singer myself but i luv to listen to ur songs,they're full of emotions that the original version failed to express,rather some of the original versions were too emo-ish for me~ XD

    ~i just feel lucky that i heard your versions~(you might even beat Taylor Swift in a duet X3)

  • What a great and very original version- well done all involved.

  • *___* Very pretty vocals <3 And omg very nice amv <3 This was put together so awesomely <3 Just love it =D Your singing is just so epically awesome ^__^ Loved the vocals =]

  • you are a100 times beter that the original...dont what to freak you out...but i think i love you...

  • sure,everybody loves kate :D

  • no wonder whyXP but really have u ever heard a voice that is beter?

  • @jettiesgirl ha ha ha really? xD

  • Kate, your videos, your voice, and your arrangements are beautiful. I started watching Elfen Lied because of your version of this song. :)

    I have one minor gripe, though; it sounds like you really changed the bridge around. That was my favorite part of the original, and I'm kind of curious as to why you changed it as much as you did...it doesn't really have the same send-shivers-up-your-spine effect. I like your version of the parts with words better, though. :)

  • @uuuuunnnnhhhhhblah

    well there are two reasons for that.

    For one, I don't have a very strong voice in the upper register, and therefore couldn't carry the melody alone without sufficient harmony. The second reason is that this is a cover, and I always change things around to fit my style a bit ^_^

  • @katethegreat19 That makes sense...and this is a music-box version so the original style wouldn't really fit. :P I'm not really all that good with music theory, but it sounds like the chord is different at 1:40, and that's what I noticed--after listening more closely a few times your version actually is pretty close to the original.

  • @uuuuunnnnhhhhhblah

    Well, actually the chords there are exactly what they are in the real version. There aren't any changes, except in the original, there are cellos and basses doing a wandering baseline there, emphasising certain notes octaves below and giving in a really special sound. I wish I could play the cello TwT;;

  • @katethegreat19 Ohhhkay, haha. I feel a little silly now. Thanks for answering my questions. :)

  • @katethegreat19

    I actually like how you take these songs and make them your own, I like the difference in your voice and to see your spin on them. Its your difference that makes some of these come alive and become so powerful. It wouldn't be the same if you only did it the same.

  • it is not in stegth you make us lisen u know, its of its...mystik ;)

  • I love Elfen Lied<3

    Your cover of Lilium is amazing :D

  • i love it!!!!!!!!

  • I've been listening to this for days...I just can't stop....it's so beautiful.....

  • so beautiful and so well done

  • Some pronounciation flaws, but it's so beautiful it doesn't matter at all! ^^, love it <3

  • Ouah j'adore !! c'est trop beau <3

  • I can't describe how BEAUTIFUL this is!!! and how much i cried!!

  • you turned a semi-creepy song into a lullaby, that takes some skills.

  • Your singins is awesome, your voice as well, but your latin is not so great... try to listen the original and procunce just like, then everythink will be perfect!

  • Kate, I think it's sacrilege that this doesn't have more views. It should have AT LEAST 500,000 at the VERY VERY LEAST.

  • This is SO wonderful ♥

  • i gave up on expressing my feeling in words to your songs. All of them feels like an angel... a goddess shining her warm, assuring light on the pathetic lil' me XD

  • awesome!!! O__O

  • wow so beautiful and haunting...amazing work =D

  • this song scared me at first but I loved it too. awesome job :D

  • I'm just kind of venturing through your videos because I felt I needed to after two days of listening to "Rose of May", and I just had to listen to this. I love Elfen Lied.

    Beautifully done, Kate. :D This song is amazing.

  • I freaking love this song. Great cover. Can we go out and you just sing this song to me all day? 5*s

  • your voice is magnific!! the harmonies are perfect!! i love it!!!!!

  • i am one of the biggest fans of ur songs, ur an angel on earth, or at least one enhabits ur voice. lol.

  • Your voice is the most beautiful and angel-like I have ever heard. You make me cry everytime I listen to this. I feel like I'm in church o,o and I'm jewish e__e''

  • Oh wow, Your voice is just SO Beautiful. and i cant believe you sang this song so wonderfully~

    In my opinion its far better than the original. x3

  • Your angelic voice is amazing. In my opinion, this is better than the original. I'd like to hear a cover of the ending song of Elfin Lied. Just a thought.

  • You mean "Be Your Girl" by Chieco Kawabe? There are quite a few good covers of that one :)

    But yeah, your voice is beautiful, and this is lovely :)

  • Its because of this video that I even began watching the anime and reading the manga in the first place ...amazing...

  • this is really amazing

    I watched the series a few weeks ago, and this version makes Lucy seem so innocent as opposed to the original version

    really great job

    5/5

  • i think it should of been a tiny wee bit slower but its beautiful either way...entrancing actually

  • wow. your singing is amazing, and this arrangement is amazing too (albeit i personally think it should be slower)... however (ugh, i don't wanna say anything bad, because really this is wonderful!), this is a latin song and vowels must be deeper ("ah" should be nearly present in every syllable) and held longer (sa-ncta vs. sanc-ta).

    it's not your fault or anything (what being a native english speaker), ... but it's just a little strange to me because i'm so used to latin songs.

    great job!

  • Then again, we don't have any idea how those old Latin speakers really talked do we? ^_^'

  • we have the romance languages (esp italian), plus the fact that medieval latin (the common pronunciation system for latin songs) is still spoken by many churches.

    this version gets better every time i hear it, though. ^_^

  • goosebumps everywhere!

  • When someone sent me this link saying that someone had done a beautiful rendition of the Elfen Lied theme, I was prepared to leave a nasty comment merely because I couldn't believe that anyone could do it enough justice nor make the theme any more entrancingly beautiful than it already was.

    I was so wrong! This is amazing. What a lovely contribution to the series this is. Haunting and enthralling in every way possible. Amazing.

  • @MaleficusSadi me too!! i THOUGHT it would suck but this is the best remake of lilium is ever heard!

  • This arrangement reminds me of Danny Elfman's music! =D It's very beautiful, and a very lovely take on this beloved song.

  • such an beautiful song...

  • did you think she is the ainme of The Pink Panther

    your kula is the best for me

  • hah..hahaha.. --..--ll pink panther dont have any blood...

  • oo you sing beautifully! if i learn how to pronounce he work and i get unsick maybe is should sing it too XDD... dout id do good though.... i fell asleep yp this actually

  • Oh... this gave me goose bumps. It's pretty good. Your pronunciation is different though. But it still makes it good.

  • I love this anime... And the song. And again, you made me love the song all over again.

    I like how you control your voice.

    You sang the chorus version though, not the opening sung by a female voice, no? (I know they're the same.... almost lol)

    Anyways, it's a great cover and I totally love it. Great job!

  • wow. u were amazing. i cant believe u sang that!

  • you add very nice effects to your song

  • OMG, I love your singing voice! I wish I had it!

  • I don't understand xD do you mean you like the original more or mine more? You worded your comment a bit strange so I don't understand ^w^;;

    Either way it's okay with me ^w^;;;

  • Kate, this is heavenly. You made me cry. I have it on repeat now. Thank you so much for gracing us with your blessed talent :)

  • Uh... you really made my heart stop for a minute during "Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison"...

    I was in heaven for a minute ^_^

    Darn it, why you gotta be so flawless?? xD

  • wooow amazing :O

  • this is like the best show ever i luv ths song too

  • I think it could've been a little slower to suit the song more, but other than that a beautiful rendition of Lilium ^^ best anime opening theme song evar, in my opinion.

  • I LOVE to sing this song :D

    It's kind of hard since I'm a boy though. But I actually manage to sing those stupid high notes xD

  • really? ^0^

    Awesome!!!

  • you are awesome.. °O°..

    I hope I can do it THAT way!!! :)

  • do you still have the music for this? i wanted to do a fan dub for it, but i can't find the instrumental anywhere.. i only need up to 1:31

  • Although I wish it was sung in a bit more of an opera voice as the original, the switch up was nice for a change. I liked how you put your own mix on the song with different instruments, and it was pleasant to hear. x3

    I, too, am working on singing this song, and it's not easy, so I totally understand. Also: nice AMV work, Tif. ^^; It was nice seeing the anime while hearing it~ You truly have talent.

  • Amazing voice ! <3

  • *sigh* what a wonderful voice...

  • i love ur voice...im so jelous!
