does song speak louder than feeling..? :-)

Nodame_1
that night, I realized how painful
love could be so close to you
because I know you
better than anyone else

the routine kindness
you always show me
tightens around my heart

when I gaze at you so lovingly
this close, this close..

why, oh why,
must you insist on just being friends?

no matter how strong my feelings are for you,
I can’t convey them to you

you don’t understand
I’m so in love with you

everyday, everyday,
my heart burns with pain
and so I’ve had countless,
countless sleepless nights
if only I could return to the days
when we first met

I’m so in love with you

a theme song from nodame cantabile animation series, and somehow the lyrics just fit in me.  however, it is sung with happy expression, though..  :-)

Scene035_001The colour of that faraway day
is in the white clouds
that a faded blue blurs…
Inside my heart is a pain hidden from all.

The words into which I put my all
already become distant.
In the midst of your loss,
even now, you keep me warm.

Your voice is the light that silhouetted you.
Should it materialise, I would live on,
that my voice might reach you, wherever you are.

Resounding from the sun-drenched rails
is the voice of that distant day.
Beyond those clouds, even now,
there is the place of promise.

The loneliness that persists from some time ago
is the spirit that grates me all around.
In the flow of time, I will surely lose you.

Your hair, with the world where cloud and sky have melted,
is full of secrets.
Your voice, your gentle fingers
and your wind-touched skin
will make my heart strong.

Causing my heart to quiver, even unto eternity,
is your back turned to me.
My wish is merely that I live on,
that my song would reach you, wherever you are.

Your voice is the light that silhouetted you.
Should it materialise, even though we live in different places,
I would want to, gently and resolutely, live

Scene036_021after the work started last term, around the beginning of october (for the preparation and research stages) then followed by visual stages (drawing the background) in november, making the animation drawings in the winter vacation, and finally editing and mixing process in the last week before new started, it’s finally completed.. :D

well, I’ve been putting the whole day posting the work process and behind the scene process on the multiply site.  so, just visit this page to see the complete animation work (rendered in quite low quality in wmv format to make it accessible for viewing from indonesia), then this page for the story behind the works too (but it is in indonesian language, sorry..).

and please also check the page for photos area, and look for the title begin with [my two worlds] to see the progress and images I created for that movie.

special thanks to margaret whom had very kind in giving her talented voice for the character’s monologue and to onit who also very kind to arrange the background music for the later version.. :-)
