let there be something innocent that one may remember our past after the ashes settle....lest we be bound to repeat a history so unbearable we destroyed ourselves to escape it.

Hi, really great (I sing it every week under the shower lol) unfortunatly it's impossible to find the lyrics of this version (who's the best one for me). Anybody have an idea of the lyrics ? (there're not Gaunaud ones) Thanks !

@DjDarkIce Yoko Kanno likes to use a bunch of made-up syllables, sometimes, in some of her songs. Like at the start of the song "Blue", which isn't actually supposed to correspond to any words. Just...syllable sounds.

@SmokingWickerman i believe the music was written by Johann Sebastian Bach and the words were written by Charles Gounod in 1859... or something like that

Was watching Fantasia off youtube and realized theirs a song by the same name, anyone know story about that or is Kanno just a fan and decided to call it the same name?

@GrigoriZhukov guess that works too

@ClowChain2 really? gets me to live a little be harder, love a little bit deeper, pack back with more intrest...

@DjDarkIce The strain we all long for!

this is the kind of shit that makes you sit down and rethink life, the kind of shit that moves mountains, parts the heavens, and makes cryin' babies shut the fuck up

It's latin ladies and gentlemen

@ anikinkid and Atrumlux. These are not the original "ave maria" words. Those are
Ave Maria, gratia plena, dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesu. Sancta Maria, mater die, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in ora mortis nostre, amen.
You'll notice these don't match up with the song. And I've been searching for years for the lyrics. I've decided to call the label and ask for direction, just haven't gotten around to it.
Really good song. But actually I think it was performed by the Warsaw Philharmonic with Jerzy Knetig. At least that's what I've always seen it credited as. But thanks for uploading!

If you read the video desc, you'll see I got the Jerzy Knetig part right at least.
