Art Cube - Suna no hana (The sand blossoms) W/ Lyrics

I have to say, this song encompasses just about everything a rock song needs to be great. And moreso, it was this band's first effort. I've listened to everything Art Cube did in their short lifespan, and none of it measured up to this. Zeta (Seth in MdM, Seiji in AMADEUS) is a brilliant writer and I wish Mana would let him write some of the lyrics for MdM, because, as this proves, he can evoke some beautiful imagery. :3 Enjoy!

I really liked this! And it stopped abruptly... stupid video. I love having the English words up there too. Allows me to enjoy the song so much more when I know what they're saying. Thank for sharing this, darling! <3

Yeah, it definitely helps. Did it finish playing after it stopped? I usually don't have much of an issue with videos like this hiccupping, even with my weak connection...

Mad As Hell

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be! We all know things are bad -- worse than bad -- they're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone." Well, I'm not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot. I don't want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first, you've got to get mad. You've gotta say, "I'm a human being, goddammit! My life has value!" So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!!" - Howard Beale "Network"
