Burn Out Bright - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya AMV

"Burn Out Bright" seemed like the perfect song to sum up Haruhi Suzumiya (at least to me).

The AMV could have been a lot better, but I still like it quite a bit. Hope you enjoy watching it as I enjoyed making it.
If you were wondering, this is AMV numero uno for me.

Anime:
"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya"
- Director: Tatsuya Ishihara
- Studio: Kyoto Animation

Song:
"Burn Out Bright"
- CD: Oh! Gravity.
- By: Switchfoot

Does it have to start with a broken heart
Broken dreams and bleeding parts
We were young and the world was clear
But young ambition disappears

I swore it would never come to this
The average, the obvious
I'm still discontented down here
I'm still discontented

If we've only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Then before I die I want to burn out bright

So a spark ignites
In time and space
Limping through this human race
You bite and crawl your way back home
But you're running the wrong way

The future is a question mark
Of kerosene and electric sparks
There's still fire in you yet
Yeah there's still fire in you!

If we've only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Then before I die I want to burn out bright

I keep cleaning up the mess I've made (x2)

I won't run away

I can't sleep in the bed I've made (x2)

If we've only got one try (we've only got one try)
If we've only got one life (we've only got one life)
If time was never on our side (time was never on our side)

Then
Before I die I want to burn out (x4)
Bright

If time was never on our side (oh oh oh)
Then before I die I want to burn out bright

can u make an anime video with the song

''TRY SLEEPING WITH a BROKEN HEaRT?

[Jongho]

Sure! That sounds interesting. I've never done any syncing in that style of music, so should be a fun, new challenge. Just one question...what anime(s) would you like the song to?

[BunnyCakes]

Pretty good for you first. Awesome song too ^^

But I recommend you download raw episodes instead so the subs aren't that distracting.

I still like this though <3

[Jongho]

Thanks.

I'm not crazy about anything WMM can produce, and you probably get the RAWs / dubs in order to eliminate those nasty subs, but I praise you for the song choice. Awesome first vid. :)

[Jongho]

Yeah, I agree. The two things I regretted while making the AMV was using WMM and not having the RAWs. This AMV was done one day to kill some time, and despite having a lot of time, I didn't have enough time to install another program or to get a hold of a subtitle-less version. But I did try to only use clips with subtitles that would make sense with the "plot" of the video, though it wasn't very successful as the subtitles don't show long enough.

I'm glad you liked the song. :)
