I Guess the top reason I chose Every Heart and Unending Dream as my two songs for my soundtrack would have to be for the very simple reason that they seem to touch home with me in certain ways. "I was frightened by the never ending night" is a line of English translation from the Japanese Lyrics to Every Heart. I would have to say that this line stands out in particular due to the fact that everyone is frightened of something, and i was afraid of myself for the longest time. It was only recently that i had been able to understand my spirit, soul, and body to a more complete level.
"Every heart has a habit of recieving its dreams.
Sadness has no effect on us,
Every Heart gains happiness when it flies."
The above lines, also from translation, ring true to everyone at some point in their lives. At this stage in my life, i have had much worry and sadness hung about me. But I remain positive that what i really work towards, such as realizing my dream of living in Japan will allow myself to become happy and filled with strong energy, rather than strong violent energy that i have learned to use in today's culture that is North America.
"In Endless repeating time,
We were searching for love.
Because we wanted to become stronger,
We look up to the faraway sky."
History has proven to repeat itself more often than was originally thought possible. Although the situations may differ slightly, the end result is the same. When a pair of strangers are looking for love today, they will often sit down beside each other oblivious to the existing person who has made the barstool their new home for the next three hours. It is sad that these people look for love in only the most attractive person they can find. However i do know that it is appearance, which catches the eye, and the person who captures the heart.
As for Unending Dream, I have chosen this song because of the connection to love being a dream that will never end - bliss so to speak. A Particular English translated line that stands out the most to me would be: "The City in the georama of the heart is sparkling with the light of hope." I think that the main reason this line would stand out to me is that love really is a fleeting dream that we search for with the rest of our lives. And the sad truth behind this part of the lyrics is that many settle down with those whom they do not really love, rather they settle down with those for fear of being alone the rest of their lives. It is in situations like this that the love of companionship must grow in order to survive. So basically speaking, love at first sight is a fairy tale everyone wants to believe, and convince others of while trying to convince themselves.
Another line that stands out in the song is: "No words are needed, a lie is always hiding the words sweetly." This is a very important line for everyone to be aware of, and it means that in every truth, a lie exists to be said, just like in every lie, a truth it's foundation.
