LYRICS
Oh, there it goes
'Bout everything we had
Saw the Eden you had dreamed
Burn behind the door
How can I hold you now
that everything is gone,
And the rose within my grip
Cuts with every thorn?
Only chasin' , only chasin' pretty rainbows, I
Kept falling short and life felt a little grey every time I tried
What's worse, through both red corners of my eyes
I saw the fruit materialize
How could I think so black and white now
Now that I've bit down
Match-flavored, ash in my throat
Vision, it comes and goes
Call me "Distortion"
Wait, don't leave me tonight
The world is so cold
and I'm on fire
Don't trust me to be so naïve
To think I'd thrive on my own
Oh baby
Just wait
Those stars overhead
Shine bright like they're golden and I can't stand it
Full knowing that nothing is fair, oh
I need you here through the dawn
Oh, there it goes
'Bout everything we had
Saw the Eden you had dreamed
Burn behind the door
I feel it in my soul
Misshapen from the chain
That whatever holds you will
tear and fade away
Looking back on the times I only let you down
With each iteration of me, hand in hand, as the clock goes round
I saw Geppetto break down in agony
With all his little dolls surrounding him
I might not say it, but I'm really
Really the worst one
And I'll embrace it dearly
Melting into the black
Hold me, Distortion
Wait, don't leave me tonight
Your future is cold and I'm on fire
When nothing in life means a thing
I can't just leave you alone
Oh baby
Quit cryin’ out
Cuz no one's listening
Not up above
Not down below
No corner of the world
Keep screaming at
the walls around this
glassy house of ours
The ceiling won't-
The ceiling won't break
Still, we can see the stars
And maybe I'd lie
Say it didn't hurt--
God, why's it have to hurt?
Yeah, this moment is wrong, but it's mine
and I won't go home 'til the storm is over
Been cut by these thorns all my life
So hold me and we'll tear them through
Red Birthmark
Goodbye to you
Yeah even when nothing is fair, oh
I'll stay with you through the dawn
Oh, there it goes
'Bout everything we had
And the rose within my grip
Burns bright like a star

Birthday upload! Did you know I voiced the sassy Secelia Dote in the English dub of this show?👀 You can check it out all seasons of Gundam: Witch from Mercury on Crunchryoll now!
And to celebrate being part of such an awesome show, I'm currently selling SIGNED Secelia "Makeup!" prints on my merch shop right now! Check it out: sapphire-digital.storenvy.com/
HOLY DATA STORM!!!! I was waiting for one of my favorite cover artist-singers to do a GWitch song!!! AAAAAAAA I'M SO EXCITED!!! You were the PERFECT voice actor for Secelia and I'm so happy for your success!!!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@mooneclipsedragonThanks so much 🥹
Secilia is criminally underutilized. She deserves way more screentime than she got.
@@AtheistPirate agreed u__u
I miss the rare retro anime dub that'd have the openings done in English. Woulda been cool to see used this track used for that, especially since you had a role here!
Suletta won't forgetta this one.
I feel like this is the sound Secilia sung at Suletta and Miorine's wedding. It would fit.
I knew it was tragic even without the lyrics but Jesus...
The first time I heard the og version I immediately went… that’s the female equivalent of king toshite unravel ❤
These aren’t the actual lyrics of the original song,it’s vastly different then this English cover,if you could even call it that
Just a heads up, this is not a direct translation, more like an alternate take from Suletta's perspective. Give the original lyrics a read, they are even more soul crushing :(
"And maybe I'd lie, and say it didn't hurt. God whys it have to hurt"
This one gets me the most for tragedy level takes
This song is SO technically challenging, but you nailed it! Fantastic job.
Secelia's dub actress singing my favourite song of 2023! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🔥❤🔥🔥
FINALLY SOMEONE MADE AN ENGLISH COVER
2:55 “This moment is wrong, but it’s mine.” goes so incredibly hard!!! Ive been following you for a while, another amazing cover!!!! : )
I want to imagine this is Secelia singing at Suletta and Miorine's wedding.
Excellent cover, madam.
Miorine: I told her to not go hard.
I need fanart of that!🙏💖
Good thing the music was good because the show sucked.
Some people really listen to a song like this and say "nah this series ain't gay", amazing cover needless to say.
1:56
Hi I am Japanese.
I was So surprised when I realized that the
English lyric “I might not ” made it closer to Japanese lyric pronounced “Aimai-na “
Great work.
Hello!
Thank you for the kind words about the English lyrics. Because Red;birthmark's Japanese lyrics are very beautiful, writing new lyrics is a challenge. ♡
@@objeccination Why wasn't a translation done for it, instead of just completely discarding the Japanese lyrics?
@@Neremworld ????
@@kzaanimefan4836 The lyrics being sung are not actually a translation of the the song Redbirthmark. They're almost entirely different with only allusions to the actual lyrics. It's not really a cover of redbirthmark, but a new song using the same music.
@@Neremworldit is becauae Japanese and English are two completely different languages with different rules to how they write and a direct translation can just sound off or not flow properly with the song ultimately making it worse. So most cover artists wont do a direct translation and instead make their own cover to keep rhythm and flow of the song consistent. Thats why these are called "Covers" rather than "translations"
*The cover even slap harder than the tomato🍅👋*
omg
It may be your birthday Sapphire, but clearly you have given us one hell of a gift. Thanks for such an awesome cover.
Birthmark was probably my favorite ED sequence ever, but somehow this rendition is even better.
Honestly amazing!
Same! I fell in love with it first time
The og Red:Birthmark majorly presented Miorine's perspective and her desire to free Suletta from her fate, and your cover as I see it, more than a cover, feels like a complimentary piece showing us what Suletta is feeling in response to the original lyrics, it's honestly beautiful. To me, both songs stand side by side. Amazing work!
Yeah, no, this is one dumbass internet theory. The song has nothing to do whatsoever with the anime and was just chosen as ED because of some reason or other.
The lyrics are also complete unrelated to the anime but are about a relationship turned toxic and AiNA wanting to kill her lover.
The epic part's lyrics say "this knife is beautiful, even though it's your future".
@@ButWhyWasTaken That's fair! I just prefer to see it through the lens of the characters as that's what makes sense to me given this song was used as an ending theme, and I think it's too big a coincidence since what a gathered from the original song does apply to both our MCs.
Both Suletta and Miorine had their moments of simple-mindedness and selfishness alike, but it's through the choices they make through the resulting consequences of those actions that the foundations of their relationship are laid and their bonds tempered, which in the end is one of the strongest forms of fantasy: Overcoming obstacles with the bond of another. Sadly never as reliable in reality.
@@ButWhyWasTaken Whether the lyrics were initially intended to be interpreted that way or not doesn't change that this different interpretation still fits almost perfectly and there is no way that was overlooked when the song was chosen for the ED.
@@resileaf9501 yeah well, you are free to imagine all theories you like but that does not change facts, you can't just act as if your fanfiction has anything to do with the obviously different meaning of the lyrics, especially since it's shown by the original music video.
This never was and never will be a song about anything remotely related to Gundam, no matter what you believe.
@@ButWhyWasTaken Considering it plays during the credits, it's related to Gundam by that virtue alone. ;)
The chorus for this song always hits so high (like at 1:00 I can only do squeaks at that range LOL). You really killed it with the vocal execution. Great work covering this -- this song was one of my most obsessed songs from last season!
Secelia got off the couch for this one
IM GENUINELY GOING TO CRY IN PUBLIC RN, your voice is so beautiful!!! I didnt think it was possible for a cover to carry an equally power energy as the JP singer nailed, but you proved me wrong!
This is my favorite song of all time, im also going to uwucon to meet Suletta’s JP VA this very next morning so im feeling extra nostalgic about the series so this is really emotional for me, ❤ this cover is so wonderful.
YESSSS! Was hoping you'd do a cover of this! It's everything I hoped! Loved this song it gave me chills
I don't even have words for how much I love this cover. I knew you'd totally nail it but this is beyond what I could imagine.
Great work, and hope you have a happy birthday.
Probably my fav ED song in a long time.
And you killed it!
Fantastic job!
Phenomenal cover: I was in tears by the end. A wildly romantic performance.
RED:BIRTHMARK COVER LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHH
This is probably one of my most favorite anime-related song in a long time and you absolutely nailed it, genuine chills down my spine!
Your voice at, "God, why's it have to hurt?"! GAA! 😆 Shivers! 🔥
Your voice is so damn powerful, beautiful, and expressive! 🌈🌦
Now to add this to three character playlists and save a link for easy access to listen in the morning! ✨
Oh man I nearly teared up at 0:51 . Freaking awesome job!!!
ABSOLUTE FUCKING FIRE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAPPHIRE! Thank you for gifting us with your amazing voice.
Thank you as always!
True Fact: She voiced Secelia Dote in this anime
God, that was absolutely gorgeous.
I was hoping we'd get to hear a full version of it ❤️
Absolute banger.
YOUR PERFORMANCE WAS AMAZING!!! I never leave comments but for this I just genuinely had to express my appreciation for your beautiful work in the community!!! It does not go unnoticed!!! :D this most certainly won't be the last comment I leave either I'm sure, so happy I got to hear this early, I hope you have a wonderful day and I look forward to hearing more of your pieces in the future but for now! This shall be on loop!!!!! ^^
Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thanks!
why you gotta give me chills like that
Letsgo!!!
Your animation skills are incredible. Thanks so much for bringing these videos to life!
@@Sapphberrythank you so much😭❤ and Happy birthday Cassie! May this year bring you all the happiness in the world🎉🎉
This cover is so good!!! And the way the lyrics relate to the show so well, ugh it's brilliant❤
Wow!!! I didn't know what to expect with this being such a difficult song and you nailed it!
i love this song, it's too bad that it triggers gut wrenching memories from my favorite Gundam series.
Try other series. WfM is pretty and has good music but there's far better Gundam shows. Zeta, Unicorn, 8th MS ain't bad, and Stardust Memory is alright. Turn A is really good.
Oh wow!
Truly a Vocal Eden.
Incredible, your singing is so well suited for this song. Love it!
Goosebumps right now, Ms. Cassie. Really nailed the vocal depth from the original.
Very well done, and also HBD to ye!
Thank you!
love when voice actresses cover songs from their own show! I just think it is neat!
Absolutely Amazing!!!! this is so good!!
Perfect ,just felt the same feeling while hearing this and the original.
Fantastic work as always Sapphire. Happy Birthday!
I've been waiting for a english dub cover of this. You really captured the essence of song with each lyric
Mad skills and INSANE range. (F3 to A5 iirc from transcribing it to piano)
⭐️🔥10/10 AWESOME SINGING PERFORMANCE🔥⭐️
&
🎉🎂HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAPPHIRE🎂🎉
⭐️🔥KEEP ON BEING GOATED AT BOTH GOATED VOICE ACTRESS & GOATED SINGER🔥⭐️
Oh wow you really nailed it, the fluctuating pitch, the voice cracks, absolutely killed it! It genuinely sounds like an English version of the original song and not just a cover.
Wow, this is gorgeous. I love it.
Happy Birthday!
Awesome song and cover!!
I cannot stop listening to this. You just got the fastest subscriber in me. Talent is just pouring from this cover. Amazing job. ❤
Thank you for covering this song! It is so beautiful! I have always been such a fan of your covers and love this song. Cheers!
OMG so beautiful. You need to cover the other ending and openings please
Happy birth anniversary and good looks for cookin again with your vocals on this. I also really liked the lyrics, especially the "cuts with every thorn" and Gepetto parts.
Honestly wasn’t sure how to feel about an English version to this song. But I’m glad I gave it a listen. The original singers voice is what made that song for me. The way her voice cracks when she hits those high notes just generates the tragedy and passion for the song. I thought I was gonna be put off by how different the lyrics were, but I’m actually kinda happy you changed it up. I grew up in the era of dubbed theme songs and god was that horrible. But even changing the lyrics, the beautiful tragedy of the song shines through in the same way. I can appreciate you making the song your own. I wouldn’t necessarily call it an “English version” tho. It’s more like…and English twist. 😂
ive been following you for as long as i can remember since i discovered your kill la kill covers and i mean this when i say i relaly hope we get to hear you in some english openings for shows one day !!! your sooo talented
This was beautifully done. Much respect
Happy Birthday! This cover is incredible!
Holy. Wow. I love listening to the song in japenese and this suddenly came across my homepage and Im so happy it did. I never looked up the lyric translation and hearing this. Wow. It adds even more emotions to it all, got goosebumps and almost cried by understanding what the lyrics are and the story theyre telling, you did such amazing work with this thank you.
Yeah uh you should probably not look up the lyric translation if you don't want to ruin this version. While the singing is great, the lyrics are completely made up and have very little to do with the original song.
@Neremworld Oh ive watched the JP version with subs. I still do love this version. Translating more directly and still having it match the progression of music would be very hard, so its no surprise that changes were made (and i feel were done very well to capture the overall message/vibe of the original lyrics)
@@LunarSniperWifle It might be ‘very hard’ but it’d be a lot more faithful than just writing an entirely new song and passing that off as a ‘cover’.
I was hoping a cover from you would happen the moment I first heard this song! It felt like a natural fit with your voice. :D
I've finished watching the anime last week and I've been obsessed with this song since. It's so beautiful it hurts, no matter the version. Absolutely amazing work!!
Awesome cover!
That was another great cover from the Gundam Universe
Let me just say, I loved this song when I very first heard it, watching the witch from Mercury. Even without being able to fully understand the lyrics, the level of depth of emotion the vocals carried were absolutely bone chilling, and to hear you do this rendition, I literally lost my breath listening to it. It’s so incredibly tragic, and beautiful, and powerful! If I wasn’t already incredibly sure of how unbelievably talented you are, this sealed the deal. This was absolutely remarkable. Matched beautifully note for note! Thanks for putting this out there!
You were the person I was hoping would do this cover, it's perfect
I’ve been waiting for an english cover of this for so long! This is amazing!!!
Congrats on your special day! I adore this one and have been looking forward to it at bated breath!!
Thank you so much!
You never miss. Fantastic job.
made me cry, which is rare
Happy Birthday! I'm gonna be in Japan in January and hope to see Aina the End January 10 in Shibuya!
I love this cover so much, thanks for the treat even though it's your birthday w
this is phenomenal
Love it!
The energy of this cover is fantastic.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!
You did so well with this. And the fact you voiced Secelia Dote, makes this even better. I have yet to watch the English Dub, but judging from this you did a good job. Fantastic even.
I have been waiting for this cover I am so excited
That hit much harder than I wanted it to. Damn...
A fantastic cover! Captures the theme and emotion wonderfully :D
Such a beautiful cover! (Hope you had a happy birthday!)
I did! Thank you
AMAZING. I'm in love with this song!
Honestly didn’t expect it to live up to the original vocals that well. Nice.
Beautiful!
this is good cover ‼️
Beautiful work!
I loved this one the most thank you!
HOLY WOW THIS IS FANTASTIC! THANK! YOU! SO MUCH!
Really beautiful!
Also happy birthday! 🎉💖
This is amazing, you did a wonderful job! and man I knew the lyrics were sad just from the tone but I didn’t know it was this depressing.
Randomely stumbled across you through this and you NAILED it! I've been listening to this song nonstop since the anime came out and your cover is so spot on! Insta-followed on Spotify! Wonderful work!
Awesome.
Beautifully sung, to call this fire would be an understatement!
So good!!
Amazing!
Underrated song, amazing cover!
We are ending the earth conflict with this one🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another banger!!!
😭 what a beautiful sad song
