"You were a happy dream in a life that's been nothing but a hellish nightmare." ~Lucy

Never forget Lucy.

This song feels like an innocence that has been taken away in the most brutal and painful way

One my favorite anime opening songs, tied with cruel angel thesis for 1st place

Try this 1. Open another youtube tab 2. Type rainy mood 3. play both at the same time 4. cry

How can someone dislike this Masterpiece?

Beautiful

2:12 makes me break everytime. The deepness of the previous notes leave a taste of consolation, and that high note, feels like a knife stabbing the heart. It crazy how some sounds can create such deep feelings in someone

NYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

This song is more than just a theme to the show. When I hear about it. I think of Lucy's breaking point. Everything that caused her to give in to her own self and lose her mind; her puppy, her horns, kohta's lie. It's a song of insanity and insecurity, but that only makes it so much more beautiful. I love it.

Why did I cry?

i feel like Elfen Lied is was one of the most saddest anime i have eve watched.....

Sad... very sad and beautiful.

When you think about it Lucy/Kaede’s backstory was quite similar to that of Carrie’s: -They both were tragic protagonist/villains -They both were born with supernatural powers (Lucy had Vectors while Carrie had telekinesis) -They both were bullied because of their differences to everyone else. -They both were lonely with very few friends -They both reached their braking point in what was supposed to be a place of celebration (a prom with Carrie and a festival for Lucy) -Just before their breaking point, their lives seemingly was improving right before it came crashing down in front of them -They both lashed out after their breaking point by proceeding to indiscriminately slaughter scores of people innocent or not with their powers -They both temporarily stopped their killing spree, only to both their killing spree continue somewhere else (Carrie in her house and Lucy in a train) -They both also only realized what they have done after their second killing spree -And they both felt immense guilt for the people they killed in their seconds killing spree (Carrie’s Mom for Carrie and Kanae and Kouta’s dad for Lucy) It’s a shame that they could’ve gotten a happy ending if they weren’t social outcasts and bullied for their differences. For example, hundreds of innocent people that attending the prom in Carrie would’ve still been alive and many other people could’ve also gotten a happy ending in Elfen Lied. Kurama could’ve lived a happy family life with Mariko, his wife and potentially Nana. Kouta’s family would’ve still been alive and Kouta never would’ve gotten mentally scarred by the incident which would mean that Lucy could’ve gotten the friend she need for years. Which would that all of the other Diclonius would’ve been born as regular children and (potentially lived a regular childhood) which would also mean that hundreds of other people still would been alive. Which includes Aiko (assuming that she didn’t survive the gunshot wound) as she and Lucy would’ve never been found at the mall because Kurama would’ve never lead a search for her after realizing their was a Diclonius queen after Number 3 infected him and the other scientist. So in the end if they were never bullied, the dominos would’ve never fallen and hundreds of other people could’ve gotten their happy ending and survived.

Step 1: try not to cry Step 2: cry a lot Step 3: THE FEELS ARE TOO MUCH, OH GOD WHY LUCY WHY

I cant say how much I love this! (Maybe because my english sucks)

This song makes me question life Especially this version

I watched this anime because I thought it said Elfen Lied like someone samed elfen lied about something and I was like, okay, who's elfen and what did he lie about? i wasn't expecting to be emotionally touched by this beautiful anime

This is so beautiful, the only anime opening that really makes me cry

This is the best cover, imo. Most others are focused on more harsh notes whereas this one captures the "gentle destruction of purity" essence of the original. Very well done.

Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam, Et lingua eius loquetur indicium. Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem, Quoniqm cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae. Kyrie, fons bonitatis. Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison. O quam sancta, quam serena, Quam benigma, quam amoena esse Virgo creditur. O quam sancta, quam serena, Quam benigma, quam amoena, O castitatis lilium. [Instrumental] Kyrie, fons bonitatis. Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison. O quam sancta, quam serena, Quam benigma, quam amoena, O castitatis lilium.

I'm so sad my chest genuinely feels like it's caving in on itself.

Es impresionante que en 2004 salió este anime y aún muchos lo recuerdan como si lo hubieran visto ayer

nyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!

This is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard

17 years have passed, and this melody still makes my heart tremble

I don't think Nyu died in the series! Lucy lost both horns towards the end meaning she died and was replaced by Nyu's personality And when that person was standing at the door at the end, it was definitely a girl and she had the same stance as Nyu as well! And the clock went off meaning it was fixed and Nyu was trying to fix it during the series, and the music box stopped playing so obviously the music box stopping means the death of Lucy and the clock striking (when it was broken before) means Nyu returned and fixed it and it shows it was her at the door! It couldn't be anyone else except either Lucy or Nyu but it makes more sense that Nyu is still alive and returned home

I will never forget her, never forget about the lesson's she taught me in life, never forget that humans are to be loved and things to be used, never forget the pain of past that I caused. Something I regret everyday, but because of her, i am now a better person and feel more happy and wish only for forgiveness to those I destroyed. Something no anime can teach you, something no story could ever write, something no school could ever lecture. Only one person taught me this. This song will forever be in my mind, forever remind me of my bad doings,and would also remind me to never hurt anyone, or ever hurt myself again, would forever be embedded into my skin, this song will always remind me of the greatest person in the world, this song is my world. This song, is the only reason I still exist A music box opens, and no one but me cries. of both fear, sadness, madness, isolation, and in happiness. The music box continues, and my life rust's, along with the rust i will gain the experience of all things i need to persevere. also, with the rust i will obtain memories, of both sadness, despair, joy, and love. The music box continues, still. On the foot of a bed, only labeled sickness and death. Where I would lay, and the song sores and brings me joy and makes me want to fly, but, would only slightly scoff. The music box open, now placed in my coffin, many mournful peers and kin will look down upon me, and I will look down upon them, smiling. The music box open, still playing, in a feathery region beyond sight, where....I finally see her, Meeting her for the first time. She would be happy with her life partner and family, and i would be happy with my life partner and family. Maybe than, we can be friends. Maybe than, you could talk to me. If not, this song....will do just fine. I miss you

I actually teared up... This is so beautiful...

Jesus Christ I can't even say how much I fucking love this. Need this to be played at my funeral....

So I've seen this video several times but I've never listened to it. Then I started watching this anime called Elfen Lied and I recognized the name a little, didn't know why. Then today approximately 2 weeks after finishing that anime I'm looking at Myuu's live video and this song started playing and I froze. It was at that moment I realized why I recognized the name and I went to this video a few minutes ago.. such happy much tears wow

Not many things are ever placed onto my favorites (maybe a few times per year), and nothing as fast as this beautiful piece of art!

This helps my insomnia.

I am a person who usually doesn't like Anime for many reasons, but I remember my first time watching Elfen Lied, and I am addicted to it. True, there are indeed some elements of it I don't like, mainly some exaggerated scenes and *cough* the emphasis on Buka's butt in episode 6. But the entire storyline is amazing, and Lilium is so eerie and beautiful. I have listened to the song so many times, but your version still gives me chills and a bit of euphoria, compared to the tragic original. I absolutely LOVE IT!

Wow. Elfen Lied was one of my first anime. This made me remember why I don't sleep and why I despise the colour pink... Nyu~

Tan hermosa, cómo triste una melodía que me trae recuerdos tan hermosos, cómo dolorosos saben me identifico con Lucy por qué yo también he estado sola, me he sentido sola pero aún así me gusta escuchar esta melodía me hace sentir que tuve cosas hermosas en mi vida 😊 y espero tener más cosas buenas que malas ❤️ Posdata; Ignoren el comentario solo quería expresarlo para ver si alguien más siente lo mismo

Sabes que es una obra de arte cuando llevas años escuchandola...

Great anime, great song, great piano version! Bravo😊👍🏿

Piano makes things so much more.... prettty

The anime is really emotional, and pretty much DESERVES this music.

Oh the memories this brings back... :')

Acabe de ver el anime hace como 5 o 9 minutos atras y no dejo de pensar en el anime me marco mucho y no dejo de escuchar esto para mis oídos esto es vida. El canti.

Makes me want to learn to play piano

My only complaint against Elfen Lied was how short it was. Only 13 episodes to barely sum up a manga that was over 50 chapters. HOWEVER. The beauty that is the song Lilium, the depth of the plot, and the even deeper, ambiguous ending and AMAZING character development in the main story and the OVA make this anime among the top ten in my roster. Final grade: STRONGLY RECOMMEND (18+ only due to gore and H-related content) Easily 8.5/10, if not a 9

El sonido del piano es vastante hermoso

Oh my goodness, this is so amazing! Beautiful version Myuuji. Thank you

I love this song I will never forget this anime It told an intense story I refuse to forget

I never thought I piano could give off so many feeling..

beautiful music as always music like this isn't appreciated as much as it should be now of days it put me in a peaceful state of mind. keep up the good work

This will be one of my most favorite and heart wrenching stories I ever finished

Liek if u crie evry tiem

This anime frames my life, when I look at his opening I did not like his music and now I fall in love with this melody, I will never lose the memories of this anime and with a great meaning, beautiful melody.

nothing, it's beautiful, other comments? it's BEAUTIFUL!

I broke the play button, So i made a new one: 0:00

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The anime was so touching as well, I cried.

This is amazing..I remember watching Elfen Lied when I was 12 years old. You made the opening sound even more beautiful than it originally was. Keep it up!

Ohhhhhhh I want new Episodes :3 Nyuuuuu!

This sent chills down my spine.

This is beautiful. It actually made me tear up... thank you for this beautiful piece, Myuu.

This music is both bone chilling in the right tone and atmosphere, and beautiful symphony

Honestly this has to be my 2nd most favorite piano cover

Sometimes there are songs that just hit you right in your soul. This is one for me. I loved it so much I had to learn it and sing it. Beautiful job! 💕

Sublime.

Soo... dark but yet it is so beautiful

For the first few seconds I wasn't keen on the massive reverb but I began to feel like it really adds character to the song and makes it really eerie. Great job!!

Such a beautiful (yet very melancholy) song and a very well done cover!

Feel the chills of Lilium... very sad, emotional and especially beautiful.

The depth of this anime is far beyond any movie I've ever seen. Definitely will stick in my mind forever

This song always makes me sad, but full of hope for some reason...

Learning this on piano for my music classes, reading the sheet music etc. This song really sets the tone of the overall haunting vibe of the show.

This version is so freaking beautiful that it makes me want to cry OH MY GERD 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I haven't watched Elfen Lied, but I have seen a tribute that had this song in it, and so I looked for it. It was a long time ago, and this video brings back that memory.

Yo estoy aqui por lo que cayo del cielo

I haven't heard this in years but I still remembered it and started humming when I saw the name

Its just beautiful.

I'm in a strange case of love with this song. Seems so beautiful and at the same time so sad and deep. It fits perfectly with empty space of the heart.

AWESOME !!! Great cover, give me thrills. Keep on guy !!

Want to say thank you. Your playing helped me figure this out on the harp. Much appreciated! This was beautiful.

The girl who wanted to apologize for a big mistake, who wasn't accepted for anybody, despite her fears and differences, who sought for a happy life, for love, and at last.. She got it I'm talking about you, Kaede...

Amazing Myuuji! You are a great artist ♥

OMG arrangement. Just awesome!

Soft and beautiful! Danke!

Ich möchte Klavier spielen lernen,nur um Lilium vortragen zu können. Es ist so schön...

I love this anime/manga........I understand how Lucy feels......

This brings back so many memories and emotions in so many ways

That's so pure and so beatiful!! I really love this song, and now I love it even more!! Nice song! Love you! Still with the great work!

I just realized Myuuji uploaded this! That's why it sounds so good!

Omg, thanks for sharing it again, myuuji!
