Refrain of Evangelion - Komm, süsser Tod (KIDA-155)

[@Alepf2]

Almost four years have passed and finally I corrected the the title and the description. It is KIDA-155 and not KICA-155.😄

[@nervling04]

I love this version. The choir's excitement and overlapping voices reflect what I imagine the world's populace would express as they are carried away by their lost loved-ones' embraces.

[@giornogiovanna1267]

that scene is just the best rapture ever depicted in media, it's no grandiose massive world ending event or some random bs of people floating into the air, it's a giant woman emerging from the earth and then just reducing human's will to live so much they just fall apart, and it's done perfectly

[@burnedbread4691]

It's not about will to live, it is about individuation and the barriers between minds dissolving

[@raphael.cavalcanti3301]

[@sagelemmers7009]

There was a time in my life when I kept all my songs on iTunes sorted by play count. The top ten were always somewhere in the hundreds...and then there was Komm, Susser Tod, with over 5000 plays. Loop after loop, nights spent lying in bed with headphones on, unable to sleep. The lyrics became a mantra that never, ever left my head. I've grown past that phase of my life, but those years left a very permanent mark, and one that sometimes demands to be remembered. Even when life becomes a torture you inflict on yourself, you can move forward and become stronger for having known and lived through suffering. Thank you. Farewell. And congratulations.

I slept with this playing and I had a damn nightmare where I found my brother hanging on the ceiling while this song played on the radio. My parents saw him and were crying hysterically. Then they decided to chase me at the random vocal part and I ran so fast I flew. Thanks, song! I am probs gonna need therapy.

[@Apronika]

This is crazy.

[@tomemeornottomeme1864]

I love how cheerfully they are literally announcing their suicide. The whole song is just a suicide note put to upbeat choir music and frantic orchestral music. It's such a good combination somehow.

[@LH1980XX]

@@tomemeornottomeme1864 It's not really suicide as everybody gets turned to tang, that is their AT fields collapse and the barriers between each other fall and they become a collective.

[@opsquash]

I wonder how they arranged and recorded this. It must have been a logistical nightmare. But it was SO worth it

[@t.thunderstreak1112]

End of Evangelion was despair and hope at the same time. I'll probably never watch it over again because the film bruised my mental health by being so unrelentingly dark and bloody, but the songs will remain engraved in my heart, not because they are so brutal, but as a reminder that life can be redeemed even if it has to start over from step one.

[@GSwifty]

I overall really like this version. But kinda wish they didn’t do the random vocals until after the orchestral part. The original song had the choir going until it stopped and the orchestra hits the melody hard, and then afterwards descends into madness. I wish the choir did all the voices after that part instead of during. It would also mimic the movie very well too, because that scene would’ve been the compilation of people rejecting one another. I LOVE that concept of having people just making noise at the end though.

[@AcornGR]

I feel like this version transports the chaos that is this segment of the film (visual and auditorial, and its dissonance) into purely auditorial chaos.

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds a lot like an early Gorillaz song in some ways? 2:23 "Ah, Ah, Ah, Ahhh!" sounds JUST like The transition between Gorillaz - "Don't Get Lost in Heaven" and the next track "Demon days" - I almost feel like Damon was inspired by this. How cool. The mixture of very emotional music and then such a happy sounding choir is so unique, and so beautiful. The track names even fit with Eva. Don't Get Lost In The Fanta...
