LULLABYE (GOODBY, MY ANGLE)



I think this song is the best choice for this film because it completely represents sense of the film.This became one of my favorite songs. Every word of song is clear and comprehensible. Lyric of song suits with the video and this makes the video more attractive. The video starts with the scene which Seita and Setsuka play piano and sing a song and continues with the scene which Seita dies and meets with his little sister.
“I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away.”
In my opinion, this part of the song is the most meaningful one. It shows the sincerity of brother to his little sister. In film, it already happens like that. Seita, the brother, keeps his promise and never gives up her even when the death comes. He protects his most precious thing which he has. 
 
“Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me”
When I am listening to this part of the song, I can't help thinking if there was no war, how Seita and Setsuka would live? How would be the world we live in? Orphans would be cry and die because of the starvation? I wonder how it would be…
(Lullaby means “ninni” in Turkish.)
