I cant believe if somebody have missed this, but things like this happen; 🙏 do watch it. 🐈🐈🐈
( here is a little teaser ))))
...and the music.
...this deceptively naive kid song with simple words (just "la-la-la') was sung by composer Joe Hasaishi's 4-year-old daughter for the anime 'Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind' (1979) - one of my all-time faves. Post-acalyptic thriller, with anti-war pathos, toxic and dangerous biosphere, and a strong female-protagonist fencing character - thats Miyazaki's stunning masterpiece. (One of many!) This soundtrack theme is labelled as 'Requiem', and it accompanies the girl's miraculous revival after almost death. Every time I hear (and see) this scene, my eyes become wet from emotion and catharsis. If I was to create a separate blog about this song, I could fill it with variety of cover versions: people perform this tune using piano, bass-guitar, violin, musical box organ... even glass harp or PC game! I'm not alone, this music definitely touches the hearts of thousands of people.
So simple lyrically, yet so powerful. Great tune. The Anime looks pretty cool too and gives me Apidya vibes from back in the day. Added to my watch list! 😀
O! so it was new to you? very nice that I have informed you, then. ☘️
Turned on Apidya OST!
