3:20 is the best part. It's Shinjis Mom directly speaking to him. Ik you could argue the whole song is his mom addressing Shinji, but this part in particular sounds exactly like a mother comforting her son from beyond the grave.
I actually know the lass who made this version. She used to go by the online moniker "Geeky Fandubs." Haven't spoken to her in years but I hope she's doing well.
Like an angel Who has forsaken sympathy Rise up young boy and Make yourself a legend! Blue skies and beckoning winds Are trying to open the Door of your heart But you're gazing at me As if you cannot see You just stand there smiling vacantly Your eyes hold such innocence You're blind to the fate That will soon come to pass But it's summoning you With a touch like a sigh You seek it without knowing why But someday I know that You will be awakened And your eyes will finally see These wings on your back are Just waiting to guide you The future will soon set you free! This cruel thesis A spiteful angel's litany Will soon soar from the Window of your destiny White hot pathos A desecrated symphony Stay true to this and don't betray your memory! Come now, reach out You must embrace reality Rise up, young boy, and Make yourself a legend! You've slept for ever so long Embraced in affection And cradled with care But with morning's approach Comes an echoing cry It tells you to wave your dreams goodbye And the moon is shining above It wishes to show just How fragile you are You're so frail and slight In its silvery light Our fate is not one we can fight But someday I hope That we'll be reunited If that is what's destined to be Perhaps we'll discover That elusive bible And then we will finally be free! This cruel thesis A spiteful angel's mockery Will bring with it the Sorrow of futility Hold on tightly And do not lose vitality You must wake up, for now the dream is history! Come now, reach out You must embrace humanity Rise up, young boy, and make yourself a legend! Love is the thread of The story that's woven Of future and present and past I may not ever ascend to the heavens But I know my love will still last This cruel thesis A spiteful angel's litany, Will soon soar from the Window of your destiny White hot pathos A desecrated symphony Stay true to this and Don't betray your memory! Come now, reach out You must embrace reality Rise up, young boy, and make yourself a legend!
To me, this is not Yui singing. It’s the hero’s mom, (spoiler, the hero’s mother is absorbed into the angel the hero pilots). The lyrics reflect how the mother sees her son, and that he is not aware of his destiny to kill the angels. Example: “I know I’ll never ascend to the heavens, but I know my love will still last.”
@@TheRealTburt To be honest, we need AmaLee to just sing these lyrics lmao Or Geekyfandubs (this lady) needs to get back on the internet and redo it with an actual setup because this audio quality is SOMETHING.
Jonathan Young has also made a decent one but this one is much more faithful to the original when it comes to the instrumental idk about lirycs tho I barely know any japaniese
Thank you for reuploading this version, I’ve been looking for it for a while now. There have been a few videos that have been deleted from UA-cam that I liked to be honest.
I think Ive finally found the version I actually needed for my collection! Its too bad Tube keeps messing up with your A.C.A.T. uploads but I hope this one lasts! Very Good, for it to be in English, I guess... XD
@@runefaustblack Oh I wish I Could! I have it on my PC, it's pretty much a Playlist of my Top Anime Opnngs and Endngs and I had to include this one along with more than 100+ themes. (All the way from very Old Tokimeki!, to brand New ShinePost!... I have all of it in there.)😁😁
Thanks for uploading this! I've been trying to find some of her lost songs after realising I had a few that had been taken off youtube, but was missing some of the ones I remembered from a decade ago. I was scared I'd never be able to find it! Also lol at the thumbnail
@@FullmoonPhantom-dn2srshe hasn't uploaded in 9 years, and most of her covers are lost media now. :( do you still have any of them downloaded? I've been trying for ages to compile all of the ones i can find, so please let me know!
Why is youtube deleting this anime music? And lucky you, for 5 months and more to come, this video really have fate of surviving to youtube 1st edit Dayum... This really aged well
I was once actually friends with the girl who sang this! She used to have a channel back in the day, Geeky Fandubs. Not sure what she's doing these days but I wish her well.
@@mojavefry2617 You should reach out to her again, I’m sure she could be a really good friend of yours just like before! That’s so cool dude! Maybe if I’m lucky, I can meet her someday too :)
I actually just found a copy of it on the internet archive called "Neon Genesis Evangelion Opening Full English Version A Cruel Angel's Thesis" uploaded by SAITAMA
Never underestimate your opponent. King Record Co., LTD (who owns Star Child, the label that owns this song) could strike years later. They did it to me on my own translation of the song a few months ago after its been up since 2017.
Every song you like you must download or else you'll wake up one day and it will be gone. I had a playlist with hundreds of songs, one day like 20% of them vanished.
It's actually an official EVA music video from one of the DVDs, forgot what it was called but it had "prototype" in the name. Sorry if I turned out to be wrong.
This will probably ruin the song. But when it's sung in English, my brain won't stop conjuring up images of Nancy Gribble urging her son Joseph to make something of himself. And he just stands there smiling vacantly, bless his heart.
@@angelousmortis8041 yeah, no offence to ama, but her cover of this just has really awkward lyrics that translate too literally. this one does a much better job at making them sound more natural.
I guess the thumbnail sent UA-cam a message.
More like it sent King Record Co., LTD a message.
They made them an offer they can't refuse
3:20 is the best part. It's Shinjis Mom directly speaking to him. Ik you could argue the whole song is his mom addressing Shinji, but this part in particular sounds exactly like a mother comforting her son from beyond the grave.
never thought of it that way but its actually more haunting now in a good way
I thought the same too
That line is the reason I love this version. I always get goosebumps when I hear it.
Died laughing at the picture.
UA-cam fears the .45
There's this and there's the Akira Kaneda's theme that intimidated UA-cam through sheer words alone.
Oh no is it because of the gun /j
This video has been up for two and a half years. It worked.
Same

Their last upload was 9 months ago
@@MakinamiPhYTyou mean 9 years ago
@@jadenbryant9283 9 years ago, sorry
I've been trying for YEARS to try and find all of her old songs, but it's absolutely impossible

Like an angel
Who has forsaken sympathy
Rise up young boy and
Make yourself a legend!
Blue skies and beckoning winds
Are trying to open the
Door of your heart
But you're gazing at me
As if you cannot see
You just stand there smiling vacantly
Your eyes hold such innocence
You're blind to the fate
That will soon come to pass
But it's summoning you
With a touch like a sigh
You seek it without knowing why
But someday I know that
You will be awakened
And your eyes will finally see
These wings on your back are
Just waiting to guide you
The future will soon set you free!
This cruel thesis
A spiteful angel's litany
Will soon soar from the
Window of your destiny
White hot pathos
A desecrated symphony
Stay true to this and
don't betray your memory!
Come now, reach out
You must embrace reality
Rise up, young boy, and
Make yourself a legend!
You've slept for ever so long
Embraced in affection
And cradled with care
But with morning's approach
Comes an echoing cry
It tells you to wave your dreams goodbye
And the moon is shining above
It wishes to show just
How fragile you are
You're so frail and slight
In its silvery light
Our fate is not one we can fight
But someday I hope
That we'll be reunited
If that is what's destined to be
Perhaps we'll discover
That elusive bible
And then we will finally be free!
This cruel thesis
A spiteful angel's mockery
Will bring with it the
Sorrow of futility
Hold on tightly
And do not lose vitality
You must wake up, for now
the dream is history!
Come now, reach out
You must embrace humanity
Rise up, young boy, and
make yourself a legend!
Love is the thread of
The story that's woven
Of future and present and past
I may not ever ascend to the heavens
But I know my love will still last
This cruel thesis
A spiteful angel's litany,
Will soon soar from the
Window of your destiny
White hot pathos
A desecrated symphony
Stay true to this and
Don't betray your memory!
Come now, reach out
You must embrace reality
Rise up, young boy, and
make yourself a legend!
What the poop man 😠
SHUT YOUR MOUTH! TRIPLE DOGE DEATH BARRAGE!

with these lyrics you can tell it's Yui singing, and it's a good look into her

The lyrics reflect how the mother sees her son, and that he is not aware of his destiny to kill the angels. Example: “I know I’ll never ascend to the heavens, but I know my love will still last.”
I _knew_ I had once heard an English version where the lyrics were done properly...
I like this one better than the AmaLee version. The words fit better in this one
@@TheRealTburt To be honest, we need AmaLee to just sing these lyrics lmao
Or Geekyfandubs (this lady) needs to get back on the internet and redo it with an actual setup because this audio quality is SOMETHING.

bro holdling youtube at gunpoint
I’ve heard these lyrics so many times that, to me, Cruel Angel’s Thesis basically *is* this translation. Congratulations Shinji for reuploading it!
I haven’t heard this in like 10 years! I still remember the words oh my god
This one is very good, it sounds like the original singer but in English

Thank you for the update. I was tired of having to keep finding this
God I was looking for this version everywhere.
youtube still scared of removing this reupload, it don't wanna find out what happens
Might trigger the 4th impact 😭
SEELE will find them if they do
I am shocked by how great the lyrics are to this. Brilliant, and the latter verses hit incredibly hard. Wow.
King Record just mad that this sounds so good.
It's been so long since I last heard this! Still probably my #1 favourite English anisong cover, incredible lyrics adaptation
Congratulations Shinji
I haven't been able to find this in years ... thank you so much!!!
I consider this THE English version of the OP, gets everything perfect

Wait. They keep deleting Geekyfandubs opening? WHY?
(I know why. But it’s a good cover regardless)
why I actually don’t mnow
Probably because Geeky used the original instrumental
Because King Records hates fans.
I forgot about her! I loved her covers so much! I downloaded quite a few of them to my phone. Does she still make covers?

only reason why the original was deleted was due to the use of the Evangelion anime (which usually will get you DMCA'd)

Do u have the original video with all the evanglion stuff happening in the back ground?
