As an Akihiko stan, I felt like the Given movie tore my heart out and then stomped on it for good measure 😭 So of course I had to cover this song! This project got put on the backburner for almost a full year, so I really appreciate everyone's patience as Hope and I slowly made progress on this. I did my best to do the raw emotion in the original lyrics justice. Hope you all enjoy!
Your Lie in April. One of the few that has managed to be still my beating heart, glad to hear some more songs from you this was really good. hearing you sing is literal music to the ears lol
Srry but im not too good at english lol Simplemente me encantó :'v jamas espere ver un cover en ingles de mis animes favoritos :'v ...gracias por este video que me trajo mucha nostalgia
i honestly didn't expect this to be sung in a fuller voice, but it does such a good job of delivering more coherent emotions :') thanks for making me cry at five in the morning Ying
Given is so incredibly important to me. I don’t even know how to describe how important. It’s easily my favorite show, I even bought the mangas. I never would have picked up guitar without it, and while I’m still not particularly good, I love my guitar and I love playing it along with the music from the show. And not just that, there’s so many little internal things that this beautiful story helped me unravel in my mind.
Lyrics (Intro) However long the night The dawn will surely break So through these tired eyes I watch and lie awake (Verse 1) An empty wall of white That clock still ticking in time The sunlight's gleaming rays Don't change as days pass us by Those seasons spent with you That life that only we knew Now step by step It's getting away But only I miss the view (Pre-chorus) Wishing I could wander on forever through the darkness Into the dust (Chorus) However long the night The dawn will surely break So through these tired eyes I watch and lie awake Through all the things that bend Through all the things that end And through all that we create And without you by my side I'm still alive today It hurts more to survive Than if I lost my way But still the morning sun Will bring the coming dawn And night will break to day (Verse 2) Once blossoming in spring Now autumn wilting its leaves But even so Again and again It grows and blooms in the breeze (Pre-chorus) And instead of "until now" It's all about "from now on" What lies beyond (Chorus) However long the night The dawn will surely break Though hands that intertwine Could still fall apart someday And all the tears I cry Eventually will dry Even if I lose my way And without you by my side I'm somehow still alive today Know I lost your love, but I Miss you more than words can say But soon the morning sun Will bring the coming dawn And night will break to day (Bridge) Still we never know Making a wish that might never come true although I guess that's the part We call "hope" (Chorus) However long the night The dawn will surely break No longer intertwine But we'll reunite someday Eventually the night Will end, and soon the light Will come to shine the way And that's why I still survive Though it scares me to this day 'cause once the sun will rise I know I'll find my way Now soon the morning sun Will bring the coming dawn And It'll be okay (Outro) 'cause soon the morning sun Will bring the coming dawn And night will break to day
mannnn I just know that this will be freakin incredible!! This anime has a special place in my heart so I'm vv excited to listen to this aaaaaaaaaaa thank u for this yingggggg
THE TEARS IN MY EYES goodness oh goodness :((( your vocals are absolutely breathtaking and the emotion you put into this performance !!!! this was so stunning AND YOU'RE SO COOL ILY
Thank you for covering this song. I love it so so so so sooo much! Aaah yes.. Given.. probably my favorite anime that will always hold a very special place in my heart. I remember watching the first season and at some point it hit something deep inside me. I asked myself for the first time "who am I.. who do I truly wanna be?" and then I cried every night. Given was the starting point of who I am today. I knew, someday I had to come out eventually but watching this anime it felt like it gave me that last push I needed to truly accept myself. From that point on it took me another few months but eventually I came out. I decided and today I am living as the person who I want to be despite the expectations and wishes from my complete family. Still a little more way to go tho but I am doing so much better. 💞
I was having a bad day…scratch that bad week. This eerily hits all the intrusive thoughts I was having and is giving me a little extra hope as I recover from depression . Thank you for this Ying. You are an artist and healer. 💕
Oh. My. God. The lyrics are so good??? The changing height in your voice??? That looked so hard and yet you pulled it off so flawlessly. Way to go Quyeeng? Queenying? Idk but a queen you are for sure!
One of my favorite twitch streamers sings a song from one of my favorite animes, my day is going well (also i'm literally about to cry this is just so perfect😭)
Sadly I have to wait tomarrow I can’t wait to hear ying sing I will be the 100th fan to see you I heard you sing before. Multiple times I traveled back to your other videos🙂.
I remember till this day the emotions I felt when I listened to both fuuyunohanashi and to yoruugakeru. Just intense emotions that would make my heart ache and just leave me in pain. This song instantly brought me back to the moment I watched the movie and felt this intense emotion. You did such an amazing job both translating the song and getting these intense emotions across. I’m an aspiring singer and want to hopefully one day make UA-cam covers of songs like these like you do. Given helped me move on from a lot and also accept a lot of things and your song reminded me of everything I felt. Thank you so much. AND GIVEN IS TOO CUTE.
lying on the floor screaming crying weeping this is SO good oh my gosh!! ur voice & lower register.... i'm in love it feels like smooth velvet fabric this is just soo gorgeous
I GOT GOOSEBUMPS yingggg ur vocals and performance are always so so phenomenal but MAN QAQ you captured the emotion flawlessly aaaa tysm for this !! makes me wanna watch given again
I literally can’t get over your singing your variety your everything???? I know next to nothing about singing but something about how you do it is just amazing 😭
In literal tears. The lyrics really do convey the emotions that the original lyrics give 😭😭 Thank you for the beautiful english cover and translyrics 💖
I love Given and its songs and I love jamming out to them. It makes me sad that I can't fully sing along in Japanese, but now I can easily sing my heart out alongside your cover. Thank you so much for such a wonderful cover and translation!
Omg YINGGGGG!!!!!!!!! Given means the absolute world to me and I cannot believe how beautifully you portrayed the emotions of the song in your cover 😭😭😭 I can’t believe I missed this upload a month late. AMAZING YING ;;;A;;;;;
so i’m currently going through,,, i guess what i’d call my yearly winter special interest/hyperfocus of given? and there’s lowkey not much content on youtube regarding this fantastic, bittersweet, heartbreaking, and beautiful show. i’ve been listening to the soundtrack basically non-stop just allowing myself to feel all of these raw emotions, and hearing this was beautiful. i keep listening to it. and i just want to say thank you for this. i’ll keep loving this show (and all the boys in the show) til i die. this cover is just the chef’s kiss. thank you 💕
GOOSEBUMPS!! Ying you have done it again!! You have released another masterpiece. I love your voice so so so much. Thank you for bringing back the given memories :')
And here I was thinking that you have such a nice voice while watching your videos, and you're actually a good singer! I love your voice so much! ❤️💖❤️💖💖
Heck yeah esther and hope!! It all sounds amazing /o/ The lyrics of this song are so bittersweet and remind me of Henceforth (Orangestar) but with much more depression orz And the way it gets so much more uplifting at the end but at the same time is still very bittersweet ;__; But I suppose that's the beauty of the lyrics in describing anguish, perseverance, and -- not quite overcoming but more like learning to live with it. Thank you again for the wonderful translyrics!! And thank you always for singing 🥺💞
Am I dreaming?? Wooooooo Edit: No, this isn't dreams. I am in love and I also get to know what the lyrics mean. Like, when watching that performance, totally 10/10. Miss watching given. "I love Given." Me too Ying, me too.
Your voice reminds me of a youtaite I used to listen to when I was 12-14. There's not only a familiarity in your voice but also the style and uhm, personal touch brought into it! So it was a surprising additional extra layer to this song for me personally. But that aside, beautiful translyrics, wonderfully sung and I must admit I found your channel through this cover, but I'll stick around!
Ahhhh this song dude it's been years but still feel the goosebumps, the first time when i Heard and watched the anime i almost cried.. the emotion is so real behind this song.... and just WOWWW you really have pretty voice lemme add this to my playlist real quick dyamnnn.. I'm gonna subscribe just because of this cover...

Lyrics
(Intro)
However long the night
The dawn will surely break
So through these tired eyes
I watch and lie awake
(Verse 1)
An empty wall of white
That clock still ticking in time
The sunlight's gleaming rays
Don't change as days pass us by
Those seasons spent with you
That life that only we knew
Now step by step
It's getting away
But only I miss the view
(Pre-chorus)
Wishing I could wander on forever through the darkness
Into the dust
(Chorus)
However long the night
The dawn will surely break
So through these tired eyes
I watch and lie awake
Through all the things that bend
Through all the things that end
And through all that we create
And without you by my side
I'm still alive today
It hurts more to survive
Than if I lost my way
But still the morning sun
Will bring the coming dawn
And night will break to day
(Verse 2)
Once blossoming in spring
Now autumn wilting its leaves
But even so
Again and again
It grows and blooms in the breeze
(Pre-chorus)
And instead of "until now" It's all about "from now on"
What lies beyond
(Chorus)
However long the night
The dawn will surely break
Though hands that intertwine
Could still fall apart someday
And all the tears I cry
Eventually will dry
Even if I lose my way
And without you by my side
I'm somehow still alive today
Know I lost your love, but I
Miss you more than words can say
But soon the morning sun
Will bring the coming dawn
And night will break to day
(Bridge)
Still we never know
Making a wish that might never come true although
I guess that's the part
We call "hope"
(Chorus)
However long the night
The dawn will surely break
No longer intertwine
But we'll reunite someday
Eventually the night
Will end, and soon the light
Will come to shine the way
And that's why I still survive
Though it scares me to this day
'cause once the sun will rise
I know I'll find my way
Now soon the morning sun
Will bring the coming dawn
And It'll be okay
(Outro)
'cause soon the morning sun
Will bring the coming dawn
And night will break to day
Omg she goin sing for us!?
Never thought this day will come
* u*
half my channel is covers LOL
Ah shit really ° 3°

The lyrics of this song are so bittersweet and remind me of Henceforth (Orangestar) but with much more depression orz
And the way it gets so much more uplifting at the end but at the same time is still very bittersweet ;__;
But I suppose that's the beauty of the lyrics in describing anguish, perseverance, and -- not quite overcoming but more like learning to live with it.
Thank you again for the wonderful translyrics!!
And thank you always for singing 🥺💞
Wowzers Ying you are super super amazing! Super Star!!
Am I dreaming?? Wooooooo
Edit: No, this isn't dreams. I am in love and I also get to know what the lyrics mean. Like, when watching that performance, totally 10/10. Miss watching given. "I love Given." Me too Ying, me too.
It's awesome Ying ❤️
Omg, I'm so excited ^^
You did an absolutely amazing job!
STOP IT I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO MAKE ME CRY.
Your voice reminds me of a youtaite I used to listen to when I was 12-14. There's not only a familiarity in your voice but also the style and uhm, personal touch brought into it!
So it was a surprising additional extra layer to this song for me personally. But that aside, beautiful translyrics, wonderfully sung and I must admit I found your channel through this cover, but I'll stick around!
I'm a youtaite myself (since 2012) so now I'm curious who you have in mind HAHA
thank you for listening, I'm glad you liked it!!
Ahhhh this song dude it's been years but still feel the goosebumps, the first time when i Heard and watched the anime i almost cried.. the emotion is so real behind this song.... and just WOWWW you really have pretty voice lemme add this to my playlist real quick dyamnnn..
