@ablaze.This week I will share some of my favorite tracks from the amazing Attack on Titan anime series. If you have not seen it before, it is about a civilisation living behind huge walls to protect them from marauding human-eating titans (giants).
This has to be one of if not the best anime produced and I love it. It covers some very interesting themes throughout the series with many plot twists and turns. Not only that though, but it has also some great tunes to accompany it, and 3 of those I will share with you today.
They are not your typical orchestral-type songs but are somehow super epic.
The first song is the brilliant "Red Swan" by Yoshiki and the opening to season 3. I really loved this tune since the first time I heard it. It also has some interesting lyrics asking "What is the lie?", "What's the truth?" and "What to believe?" that we can relate to in our current times.
The second tune is hard to choose as there are a few really good songs in the official soundtrack. However, I have opted to go for the ətˈæk 0N tάɪtn song composed by Hiroyuki Sawano Project and this version is sung by Eliana. The song is really powerful and shows the great work that has gone into the soundtrack. I don't really know the lyrics, but it sounds good for orchestral type music.
The final song is from the same set and starts at 9.20. I have saved the timestamp link but it may not work, but you can click here.. My favorite is also composed by the awesome Hiroyuki Sawano but this time sung by the wonderful Cyua. It is an amazingly powerful song but is quite unique in that she is singing in german, although it is quite difficult to understand with the accent.
Without the lyrics, I cannot hear the german, but once you have the lyrics you can hear it and understand it fine. The song is called Vogel im Käfig (Bird in a cage) which seems very fitting to the theme of Attack on Titan.
That's it from me, have a great musical Tuesday!
Until next time.
