Ghost in the Shell - velveteen

[420bluntsmokerxXx]

haunting

[yttikazyttikiz]

So. Damn. Good. This whole album was great... Yoko Kanno is impeccable.

[Fobo5s]

cool song :S

[huntressjill22]

The police sirens and the background music from 0:00 to 0:21 are taken directly from the movie Bladerunner. After having sex with Rachel, and after Roy has murdered his father, Deckard drives to J. F. Sebastian's home, and when the car is cruising down the street, that police/medical personnel track is what plays.

[Hekym]

@huntressjill22 Dude I just noticed this, I'm glad some else caught it ^_^. I was watching movie and I was like "Tackle alert now in what now?"

[myotheraccountlol]

Grammar doesn't matter much, it's just something for strangers to judge you by. If you type liek dis, we are all going to laugh at you.

[Fobo5s]

@myotheraccountlol ur right, whats important is a meaning behind words

[Intellectual4God]

the part that starts at 2:11 is the only part that kills this whole song for me, if that could be edited out i would make sweet love with this song

[Lilc433]

@Intellectual4God LMFAO oh my gosh i know right? i always think the same thing. xD what's with the random yellling? ahahaha.

[Amberpaws19]

@Intellectual4God Lol don't like the sound of traditional Navajo singing? I think it's cool that a japanese artist incorporated it into her music.

[sebaale91]

I can't believe it! During the anime I did not realize she was singing in italian (and im italian)! Awesome song!

[watcherofthings]

nothing like a bunch of loser anime kids arguing over a topic they both like alot. Fucking nerds your the reason people who like anime get such a bad rap, damn son................

[radujko]

@watcherofthings i don't know what argument your referring too because im too lazy to check the comments but I like what you said so your getting a thumbs up brother

[theclockmace]

I was so in tune with song I forgot it was playing. Oddly enough, it inspired me to improve the aerodynamics of a spoiler.. Thank you very much for posting this!

[STAROFLEON]

I create art as a stress reliever, and listening to ghost always helps me get ideas.

This stuff is amazingly inspiring.

[CrimsonGirlAlchemist]

what a awsome song.

[mflur201]

wow 

[Drauph]

That is amazing, its nothing like I imagined it would sound, I've read all the lyrics and i really like them all but this is just amazing!

[fullmetalkunai67]

yokko kanno is good at making music

[sasuki124]

@fullmetalkunai67 good?? She's excellent.! ^^

[lightryu33]

I 've chills every time I can hear that melody.

[GyroCoder]

This song is a large part of the reason why the last scene in 'Meme' was so awesome.

[Playboy067]

lol, you said it. I just spent 20 minutes trying to find the song from that episode.

[PandaMomoiro]

Most of Ghost in Shells soundtrack is creepy...<3

[RAPISTNEAR]

Hmm? You think so? It probably depends on my mood, but I'm pretty sure that Ghost In the Shell's music holds its own pretty well against the other animes that you mentioned. They all have some spectacular music, but it's all so varied and different that it's hard to compare.

[fullmetalkunai67]

well ya ghost in the shell stand alone complex had some good music but it is still second to cowboy beop in soundtrack well thats just my opinion

[digitalchico]

omfg when I think of this song I picture me walking around a city like new york and in slow motion everyone is sick looking at me and other people at the other side of the street doing insane things like killing people dying of sickness people killing themselfs and just insane things like a malignant virus or the end of the world aarrive and im the sane one O.o

[kamubegoakujuga]

wow thats something... :P

[BarEnFaroth]

Haha brilliant response mate. XD

[xTheSpiritx]

@digitalchico They probably look at you crazy because they hate run-on sentences.

[aminoacid1648856]

@digitalchico Well, here is a story:

My teacher used to date a guy, but she broke up with him because he has poor grammar.

See, grammar IS important.

[aminoacid1648856]

@digitalchico Can't blame her... she is a English teacher :)

[zatronium]

@digitalchico I tend to agree; except when a given message requires interpretation because the content within has been poorly conveyed.

That said, is any of this banter actually relevant to the song? I think not.

[O1d8oy]

@aminoacid1648856 she could teach him ;)

[Kiyoko504]

@xTheSpiritx You got my vote maybe he is just sucidle or wants to murder or he is jsut one fucked up person but arent we all no one is perfect we all have issues and to those who say were not normal (Define Normal) normal is only a setting on our washers if one exists (see not even washers have a normal setting so thus the case is nothing is normal

[permatroll]

@digitalchico stfu plz :D

[Lordgale119]

@digitalchico sorry, but beauty is within us is the song for that dream of yours. Same ost, but much darker. ;D

[kazunanakama]

@digitalchico Congrats on snorting cocaine.

[ekteeb]

[sasuki124]

[sgaford]

Aeria Gloris is the song.
