Gunslinger Girl ~ Scarborough Fair

I know this is not vocaloid or a slide show. For now i'm just gonna post up anime songs. Really random ones. But i like this one though. =D

[@murkywateradminssions5219]

I like how people who knows this song tends to link with people with tragic endings for some reason...

[@Teh1337H4x0rz111]

The song is about impossible love. It tells the tale of a young man (or woman, depending the version), who tells the listener to ask his former lover to perform for him a series of impossible tasks. Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme have a symbolic meaning. Both man and woman in this ballad invoke said powers: mildness to soothe the bitterness, spiritual strength to endure being apart from each other, faithfulness and lastly encouragement, to fulfill the impossible tasks given.

[@oliverwandel6472]

Thanks

[@将平-x6v]

It is my favorite of the "Scarborough Fair" songs sung by various people.

[@ravivm]

The meaning of Scarborough fair - Its about Unfulfilled love. Scarborough fair - market place located in Yorkshire England

[@overkill1340]

Not unfulfilled love. Impossible to attain love. The singer's suitor is being asked to perform impossible tasks to prove their love. The cyborgs are also asked to perform impossible tasks, but they are greater than human and just might attain the love of their handlers.

[@jjhatorijj]

Are you going to Scarborough Fair Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine Tell her to make me a cambric shirt Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Without no seams nor needle work Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to find me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Between the salt water and the sea strands Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme And gather it all in a bunch of heather Then she'll be a true love of mine Are you going to Scarborough Fair Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine

This and the Simon and Garfunkel ver. are like my favorite versions and trust me there are so many other versions out there. Her voice just fits the song so well.

This song about unfulfilled love is so very matching for the extremely sad basic narrative of Gunslinger Girl. Well, first season. Lovin' it.

[@ryangarde6230]

Um no, not unfullfilled, rather, an impossible to attain love....

[@uriadelavaro3956]

@Rachael Blackwell Triela was always the ass-kicker of the five. Henrietta had a much more complex depth to her and this certain melancholy that made the first season ace. The to an extend carefree character of Triela did just not fit as the main protagonist. But good for you if you could enjoy season 2. Then you had a longer positive experience. For me, the show ended with season 1.

[@MrBytorr]

Best episode of the series, in my opinion. This still gives me deep chills, and last I saw it was in October.

[@newbyclive]

What episode was it in again? I forgot.

[@Fapnyr]

@@newbyclive Claes episode from IL teatrino

[@patricianightowl8324]

Any song from this anime makes me emotional

[@butlerwm]

There are dozens (if not hundreds) of versions of this song floating around. I actually enjoy this one more then the Simon and Garfunkel version. The music has a lilt to it that the duo is missing and the instrumentation is very nice. We know music is alway a matter of personal preference so my feelings won't be the same as others. Still, this one, with the Gunslinger Girl episode story that went with it, made it better than most.

[@blackhammer5035]

The other thing about this version I love is how relatively simple it is. For instance, Kokia's version of the song (she did some of the other songs for Gunslinger Girl) has some lovely vocal work, but feels overproduced, which really doesn't work to bring out the core nature of the song as a folk piece. Frankly, I feel even the S&G version is a bit overproduced in ways.

[@ProtectorVitae]

Hearing this again makes me want to buy the Gunslinger Girl series, been sitting in my wish list for about a year now. But every time I think about it, this song pops into my head. So beautiful

[@Anileigh023]

"Don't judge a book by it's cover." Wow, does that apply to this anime? I put off watching this for a while because I saw little girls and giant guns and thought there wasn't much to it. Boy was I wrong. Instant-classic 5/5 for me.

[@lysergidedaydream5970]

Correction: 17.58/5

[@butlerwm]

One of the all-time great stories and this version of the some is icing on the cake.

[@someuser4166]

I did the same. I started watching the first season back in 2018 and found it pretty boring (I had just finished watching gunsmith cats and wanted more of that kind of mindless fun action) so I dropped it. Later in 2022 I had a school assignment and thought I'd put GSG in the background while I worked just to have something there but I ended up getting hooked not long after. Great anime. Makes me feel bad for the children though...

Lol yeah, the premise and name kinda seem like it'd be a wild, if not goofy action-fest. But it's way more vibey tragedy action. Agree though, it's an absolute classic.

[@ImperialGuardsman2]

@Rachael Blackwell I almost completely forgot about the ending. Then you come through like a freight train and remind me. Well... might as well go rewatch the anime. In all seriousness, it's anime like Gunslinger Girl that helped me get into writing fanfiction. That way one can get some kind of closure by reading a different ending.

銃を持つことなく穏やかな日々を過ごし、家庭菜園を続けることがラバロ大尉の供養になってると思う。 大尉と交わした約束はクラエスを最後まで守り抜いたしね。

[@saberred7512]

供養とは、生きている人間が死者に対して供物などと共に心を捧げる事。ようは敬意であり敬愛。 供養にはなってないよ。クラエスにはラバロの記憶は無い（実際は封印の為、微妙）。 そしてクラエスは最後の戦いでラバロの名前を告げられても結局思い出す事は出来なかった。 遠い昔、約束をしたかもしれない誰かと、ラバロ大尉が最後まで”結びつかない所に”クラエスの物語のミソがある。 ジャンの罪滅ぼしで用意された箱庭が供養になるだなんて私は認めたくない（ボカしてるけど所詮暗殺だろ？）。 公社の人間が供養をするのであればクラエスでなければならない。だが、クラエスはね、心を捧げようがないんだ。 記憶の封印を解かない限り、クラエスの穏やかなる日常がラバロの供養にはなる事はない。 ・・・(*^^)v・・・だから、この物語は面白い。
