David Sylvian - For the Love of Life

Another fire in the David Sylvian's forest:
Monster Ending Theme - (Full Length)
"For the Love of Life" for the anime adaptation of Naoki Urasawa's Monster would become the ending theme for the first half of the series in 2005

Original title: For the love of life - Ending Song
Anime: Monster
Album: Monster - Original Soundtrack Vol. 1
Artist: David Sylvian


And slowly, you come to realize
It's all as it should be
You can only do so much

If you're game enough
You could place your trust in me

For the love of life
There's a trade off
We could lose it all
But we'll go down fighting

And what of the children?
Surely they can't be blamed
For our mistakes?

And slowly I've come to realize
It's all as it should be

That hiding space
A lonely place

How can the right thing be so wrong?
I've found mistakes
Where they don't belong

For the love of life
We'll defeat this
They may tear us down
But we'll go down fighting

Won't we?

@TaimaDjinn Monster was before 2000... At least the manga, which was the same story. Also, I prefer to watch things after 2000. But I hate Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, all that crap.

[Freakymausi96]

Monster, the anime, is very nice to watch ^^

[leetjenie]

@Shuhayb8 was a great anime enjoyed every minute and the real people version as well (.^_^.)b

[leetjenie]

Ok it's a good thing not everybody likes the same thing and all but One Piece isn't crap. Eichiro Oda is a brilliant storyteller and artist and u might respect him for that. The One Piece crew is on a ten year long voyage and the story is as funny and beautifull as it is sad. For me the one anime i can't get enough of d(.^_^.)b to my friends who got me hooked Oh and Monster is a bit heavyhearted but a thrilling and tantalizing tale, which does sometimes leaves you a bit disoriented afterwards

@Relesy Btw the manga was put into anime and shown in Japan in 2004

[Whispyy1]

You guys should be ashamed of fighting about anime in this song's video. SERIOUSLY THIS SONG IS FUCKING AMAZING

[xorrot16]

hey did you all notice that the blond bad guy in monster looks like david sylvian? :D

[o00ps]

If you are here you've just listened to the song.. Please be amazed by IT and how wonderfull IT is.. instead of starting a anime rage war. Monster was incredible just as this song is, lets leave it at that and to those who disagree: We all like different stuff, and if you got nothing nice to say, don't say it.

@Relesy

If that's your issue with it then I don't think I can convince you otherwise...

[Relesy]

@Abbabaxauacs Gumgum tree? Come on.

[Abbabaxauacs]

@Relesy

Whoa now, don't put One Piece on the same level as those other two. It might be a typical shonen story on the surface, but it's much more than something like Naruto or Bleach.

@Punkero245 the tale is in the monster story, at least prt of it
