[@BaxterBlack-k5j]

Same here.

[@jacobtaylor7506]

Huge guy, lift a lot, fought in conflictst and this song makes me to find my deedlit.

[@WeeG-bwc77]

When you realize the OP is from Deedlit's perspective. One of the last lines is about Deedlit waking up, implying the song up until that point was from her dreaming. Of course she was dreaming, because she's reliving memories of Parn, who would've grown old and died while Deedlit stayed young. Yet even as she awakens from her dream, the song ends with a line about her still being captive to the chains of Parn's heart. It's a profoundly simple way of demonstrating just how in love Deedlit is for Parn. She REALLY fell for this dude right from the start.

[@Michael-590]

Oh yeah, the line about the morning sun freeing her. Now it makes sense. She was living her dream of being in love with Parn, but now only has her memories and actual dreams of him. That offers more context to the song and makes it all the more bittersweet.

[@JimmyGeniusEllis]

I never realized that. That's so deep. That makes the song even better

[@JimmyGeniusEllis]

Like I thought animes just had love songs as openings sometimes that's how far as my logic went but deedlit singing the song that's deep

[@ThomThomV]

I wait on you... Embrace me with your strong and powerful arms, Your haunting words keep me close to everything about you... Romantic in ways... In ways that almost tear upon my heart! Can't let you go, don't you know? 'Io sono Prigioniera!' A captive in your gentle hands, A prisoner of your soulful eyes, your special smile, we'll never part... If the morning sun should free me, it really wouldn't let me go... I'd still be caught inside your love, can't rise above, the chains of your heart... (Refrain... love this song ty for sharing! So beautiful)

[@AdamArclight031]

This art style kind of reminds me of Jim Henson's movies Labyrinth and Dark Crystal. Also the intro to the song gives me chills. Reminds me of my childhood growing up watching VHS of studio ghibli films like: Howl's moving Castle, Spirit Away, Ponyo, Princess Mononoka, and Cat returns. I miss that feeling of happiness.

[@FRIONIELASTRALIS]

AAAH! This song is SOOOO NOSTALGIC! Every time I listen to this, I feel so sorrowful & exultant at the same time! This is how this song stirs me! THAT is how TRUE MUSIC should be! THAT is what makes it a TRUE CLASSIC! If I were to play D&D again, I want this playing in the background! Aaaah, Record of Lodoss War! By the way, do you happen to have MORE classic anime series themes (be they opening or ending) as well as in episode songs in English? As I recall in episode 5 of Record of Lodoss Wars, there was a bard singing of the 6 heroes' quest from 30 years prior but even in the English version it was sung in the original Japanese! Why couldn't they have also sung that in English too & put it in the English language soundtrack of Records of Lodoss Wars? It would've been a CLASSIC COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Incidentally, do you also have the English sung variants of the songs of Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, too? And I DON'T mean the ones from Robotech: Macross Saga! Those are entirely DIFFERENT! If you do, it would be MOST APPRECIATED! And I know I didn't say this earlier but BRAVO! ENCORE! MORE! MORE!

Now, as to what my favorites are, that is kinda TOUGH, as you well know, since, like you, I have SO MANY! But, if I were to make a humble suggestion to you, if we're talking classics, then I would humbly recommend the English versions of "Do you remember love?" from the anime movie Super Dimensional Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? as sung by two VERY TALENTED Ladies, namely Caitlyn Myers & Amanda Lee AKA AmaLee! Trust me: You WILL find my comments on each of these WONDERFUL Ladies if you look long enough! And if you feel the same way as I wrote in their respective channels about their BEAUTIFUL renditions of the same song, then I humbly urge you as a fellow fan to subscribe to both of their channels as they are both WORTHY of it! For more contemporary songs that are far more strident & with more testosterone, I humbly recommend both the English versions of "Guren no Yumiya" & "Sasageyo" from the anime series Attack on Titan & the BEST I've heard renditions of both songs are from, again, Ms. Amanda Lee AKA AmaLee, Jonathan Young, NateWantsToBattle & Cole Staggs! Take my word for it, Brother, they are ALL worth subscribing to! I hope this helps! ENJOY! By the way, if you won't my asking & I mean no offense by this, are you related to Jimi, by any chance?

The english version of this song is just better and not by a bit but we are talking leaps and bounds. There's a despair and yearning melted with love. She's just an overall better vocalist.

[@Phyllion-]

They do kind of "cheat" a little by adding things that aren't in the original version, such as reverb and harmonies. Whereas in the original, she just has her voice alone with little to no added effects. What I find awesome though is that rather than one version being better than the other (cause really, that's subjective to each and every one's taste), it instead gives us two different moods. The Japanese one is softer, melancholic, and contemplative; you can feel that she's just lost in her love for whomever she's singing to. While the English one is more romantic and theatrical, almost like an opera song, which makes it more of a passionate declaration of love than it's softer counterpart. And quite honestly I think that, THAT, is the beauty of covers. Everyone interprets songs differently based on their own feelings and experiences, and there is no "one true best version".
