[Fanmix] Famous for a Century - Rakka and Reki (Haibane Renmei)

Because why the hell haven't I made a fanmix for my favorite anime yet

Cover is sort of misleading, it's hard to find art of these two. This focuses on the last half of the anime, so it's a little more depressing... no direct lyrical spoilers or anything though. If you're reading this and HAVEN'T finished Haibane, GO DO SO NOW. Best ending. <3

This might be a little... erratic. I wanted to contrast Rakka and Reki's songs, until the end, where they kind of mush together into a nice little musical paste. C:

Mister Ant//Psapp
Rakka

I want to be the map you read
The basket for the bone
I want to be the hand that feeds
I want to be a home
Your home


Coffee Break//Mew
Reki

Close the door when they come in.
They can feel their whole world spin.

Smoking plastic shards they'll
Never be scared of me.

And when they change themselves they're
Never afraid of me.

Winning//Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton
Rakka

Knives don't have your back.
I wait and I count.
But knives don't have your back.
I wait and I count to the last breath we take.
What we make doesn't make sense.
What's a wolf without a pack?

Scissor//Liars
Reki

I'm supposed to save you now
But my hands are flipping out
I'm a coward in a self-built army
I leave this blood to dry

You are the Moon//The Hush Sound
Rakka

Darkness, darkness everywhere,
Do you feel all alone?
The subtle grace of gravity,
The heavy weight of stone


Famous for a Century//Secret and Whisper
Reki

Tell me what it's like to sleep outside,
ingestible to the animals.
My life on the television.
My life with a moderate revision.

Saved//The Dear Hunter
Rakka

Amongst the stone and smoke
Rising above it all
Broken but not beyond repair
See how this soul fares

In a Market Dimly Lit//mewithoutYou
Reki

so spare me your goodbyes,
your waving-handkerchief-good-byes
given my tendency to err so on the sentimental side
I'll spare you my goodbyes,
the truth belongs to God,
the mistakes were mine

Blue//A Perfect Circle
Rakka

Call an optimist, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you

Opium//Marcy Playground
Reki

Blue like water
Blue like heaven is
all of the time
I'm all right
I'm just gagging on all the all right
