Evangelion Songs

[Jorlem]

The newest thread in Shadowjack's Evangelion IWIW has had a number of songs posted that readers think of as related to the show.  It might be something to take a look at, assuming you haven't already seen it.  (They start at post #11)
Also, I was wondering, what would Komm Susser Tod, from End of Evangelion, do if Doug heard it?

Also. Released March 29th, according to Amazon, IIRC. That surprised me a bit.

Oh dear god, that is not a song I want Doug to express as a power. At all.

Oh, and if I were a poster on that forum -- and if the song stuff had continued past the first few messages -- I would have suggested the following:

"Engel"

(Rammstein)

Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden

wird nach dem Tod ein Engel werden

den Blick gen Himmel fragst du dann

warum man sie nicht sehen kann

Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn

kann man uns am Himmel sehn

wir haben Angst und sind allein

Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein

Sie leben hinterm Sonnenschein

getrennt von uns unendlich weit

sie mussen sich an Sterne krallen (ganz fest)

damit sie nicht vom Himmel fallen

Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn

kann man uns am Himmel sehn

wir haben Angst und sind allein

Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein

Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn

kann man uns am Himmel sehn

wir haben Angst und sind allein

Gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein

(Official English translation, which is rather... free

Live in virtue, no desire

In the grave an angel's choir

You look to heaven and wonder why

No one can see them in the sky

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep

Angels can be seen in heaven's keep

Alone in fear they question why

Goddamn not an angel when I die

Angels live, they never die

Apart from us, behind the sky

They're fading souls who've turned to ice

So ashen white in paradise

Just as the clouds have gone to sleep

Angels can be seen in heaven's keep

Alone in fear they question why

Goddamn not an angel when I die

Goddamn an angel when I die

Heaven must be hell in the sky

Artist: CrüXshadows

Song: Winterborn (This Sacrifice)

Album: Ethernaut

Dry your eyes and quietly bear this pain with pride

For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave

And promise me they will never see the fear within our eyes (my eyes are closed)

We will give strength to those who still remain

So bury fear, for fate draws near

And hide the signs of pain

With noble acts, the bravest souls

Endure the heart's remains

Discard regret, that in this debt

A better world is made

That children of a newer day might remember

And avoid our fate

(Prepare for battle)

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be your light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith is come

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

Hold your head up high for there is no greater love

Think of the faces of the people you defend (you defend)

And promise me they will never see the tears within our eyes (my eyes are closed)

Although we are men, with mortal sins, angels never cry

So bury fear, for fate draws near

And hide the signs of pain

With noble acts, the bravest souls

Endure the heart's remains

Discard regret, that in this debt

A better world is made

That children of a newer day might remember

And avoid our fate

(Prepare for battle)

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be your light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in God

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

And in the fury of this darkest hour

I will be your light

A lifetime for this destiny

For I am Winter born

And in this moment I will not run

It is my place to stand

We few shall carry hope

Within our bloodied hands (bloodied hands)

Within this moment

I am for you, though better men have failed

I will give my life for love

For I am Winter born

And in the fury of this darkest hour

We will be the light

You've asked me for my sacrifice

And I am Winter born

Without denying, a faith in man

That I have never known

I hear the angels call my name

And I am Winter born

And in my dying

I'm more alive, than I have ever been

I will make this sacrifice

For I am Winter born

...And just for Pen-pen:

I don't go for fancy cars

For diamond rings

Or movie stars

I go for penguins

Oh Lord I go for penguins

Throw your money out the door

We'll just sit around

And watch it snow

I go for penguins

Oh Lord I go for penguins

Penguins are so sensitive

Penguins are so sensitive

Penguins are so sensitive

To my needs

Penguins are so sensitive

Penguins are so sensitive

Penguins are so sensitive

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

Penguins are so sensitive

Penguins are so sensitive

Penguins are so sensitive

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

To my needs

When Shadowjack did the Kaworu episode, he posted the lyrics of Ode to Joy, with translation, while describing the action as it was lined up with the song. I've never actually knew what that song was saying before now.
And yeah, I agree that Doug would never let that songs power see activate. If he ever heard it once, he'd probably set his helmet to filter out that song in it's entirety. (He can do that, right? I seem to remember something about him having audio filters to keep his powers from activating if he would hear music unintentionally.)

He doesn't actually have active filtering, but his helmet is soundproof and he can if needs cut off the relay of external sounds to his ears.

disappointment reigns, I thought I had a killer 'to hell with it all, end the world in flame' song - Armageddon It, by Def Leppard.

Cue my disappointment when the song is not about destroying everything, as I had remembered, but about scoring chicks.

"Armageddon It"

Ya better come inside when you're ready to
But no chance if ya don't wanna dance
You like four letter words when you're ready to
But then you won't 'cos you know that you can

You got it, but are you gettin' it?

You say that love is won when you get some
But then your finger won't trigger the gun

You know you (ya) can't stop it
so don't rock it
You know you got it

Hey, but are you gettin' it?
really gettin' it?
Come get it from me

Gimme all of you lovin' - ev'ry little bit
Gimme all that you got - ev'ry bit of it
Ev'ry bit of your lovin - oh, c'mon live a bit
Never want it to stop

Yeah, but are you gettin' it? - Armageddon it!
Ooh, really gettin' it? - Yes, Armaggedon it!

You try comin' on when you need some...
But then you don't 'cos you already did
Yeah, you jangle your jewels while your shakin' ya...
And drive the pretty boys outta their heads

You got it, but are you gettin' it?

You flash your bedroom eyes like a jumpin' jack...
Then play it pretty with a pat on the back

You know you (ya) can't stop it
So don't rock it
You know you got it
Hey, but are you gettin' it?
Ooh, really gettin' it?
Come get it from me

[Repeat Bridge]

[Repeat Chorus]

C'mon, Steve, get it

[guitar solo]
Take it, take it, take it from me
I got an itchy finger following me
Pull it, pull it, c'mon trigger the gun
'Cos the best is (a) yet to come, I say
'Cos the best is yet to come

Are you gettin' it? Really gettin' it?
Yes, are you gettin' it, really gettin' it?
Oh, come get it from me

Gimme all of you lovin' - ev'ry little bit
Gimme all that you got - ev'ry bit of it
Ev'ry bit of your lovin' - Oh come on live a bit
Never want it to stop - Oh, are you getting it?
Gimme all of your lovin' - Ooh really gettin' it?
Gimme all that you got - Oh are you getting it?
Gimme all of your lovin' - Oh live a bit
Gimme all that you got - Whoa, live a bit

You've got to live it - gimme all of your lovin'
Ooh baby live it - gimme all that you got
C'mon and give it - ev'ry bit of your lovin'
Oh come on and give it - Never want it to stop
Oh are you gettin' it? - Gimme all of your lovin'
Ooh really gettin' it? - Gimme all that you got
Oh are you gettin' it? - Ev'ry bit of your lovin'
Oh live a bit - Never want it to stop

Shadowjack made what is almost an AMV, but without any sound or moving pictures.  Link.

Well, if Doug has plays it, and is wondering where the power is going, it may be bringing him a Group of Girls, that love him, one "step" closer...
  

[ECSNorway]

One has to wonder, sometimes, just what Doug would think of the Evangelion Ending Themes Compilation Album...

Yeah, 'Fly me to the Moon' could be a useful power song.

But twenty different variations on it in a row?

Not so useful, if I'm remembering how Doug's power works correctly.
(I'm envisioning someone who Doesn't Quite Get It buying him this as a Christmas present... either because they figure, hey, big collection, lots of cool songs to pick through... or they might think the different versions might actually work differently for him...)

[Bob Schroeck]

Different versions do work differently for him. The canonical example is the Simon and Garfunkel version of "Hazy Shade of Winter" vs. the Bangles' version. The first chills the air and puts little patches of snow and ice on the ground around him. The second gives him ice powers.

[ECSNorway]

So a couple of dozen slight variations on the same song... hmm. One might give him interplanetary flight capabilities, another might make him a Fred Astaire-level dancer....
