A Song to Avoid for the Utena Step

[TheTwisted1]

Here's one you don't want to see in the Utena Step:
Oh you, you're so hard to get to
Oh you, you don't wanna play
You were no better before
I sent a letter before
I sent a dream to last night
From the end of the world.
Oh you, you keep me hanging round & round & round & round
Oh you, look at the trouble I've found
You were no better before
I sent a letter before
I sent a dream to you last night
From the end of the world.
I saw you last night, but you couldn't answer
You were a lonely little sidewalk dancer
When I woke up I could not stand it
You were gone, but I got to hand it to you.
Dream to you last night
From the end of the world.
Oh please, if this is a game I wish someone would win
Please, just let her fly to be upon the wind
You were no better before
I sent a letter before
I sent a dream to you baby last night
From the end of the world.
You were no better before
I sent a letter before
I sent a dream to you baby last night
From the end of the world.
I sent a dream to you baby, last night
From the end of the world
I sent a dream to you, babe
From the end of the world.
I sent a dream...
To you baby...
From the end of the world.

From what little I know about the Utena step (just what Bob's put on his webpage), that looks to me like it might be the defining background song for the entire Step, rather than a power song... But what do I know?

No, no, you're right, Rob. This is more like the theme music than anything else.
If I wanted to stay away from a song for reasons like those lyrics, I'd stay away from Men Without Hats' "Pop Goes The World".

*/ Bjork, "Bachelorette", 5:15 /*
I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl
Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street
I'm a whisper in water
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near
Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder hand
I'm the branch that you break
Watch the Kusoyaro Productions AMV- then it'll make sense. Very good Utena/Anthy love affair theme.

[Bob Schroeck]

Huh. Sounds like an Anthy theme, almost...

Oh, definitely. Like Bluemage said, watch
the AMV...
