'If I disappear, my soul will still live on and help you fight your fears' that line is about Alphonse, you guys.

How to start a flame war: 1. Go to an FMA video. 2. Comment on which version of FMA is the better.* 3. Wait. *It's optional, but you could also talk shit about the other version.

Admit it, Porno Graffiti is the best band name ever.

''Clap your hands and fight until your finally made whole" basically fight with alchemy until you get your arm and leg back, and get back your brother's body.

whoever did the bass guitar for this FUCKING SLAYED

This song has always been pure nostalgia for me, even when I first heard it and I still can't explain why.

Such a happy song for such a sad anime

This Is Ed Basically Singing about himself

Anyone else agree he SLIGHTLY sounds like Edward!? LIKE SERIOUSLY YU HAVE A PARTAIL VIC VOICE. your golden.

Our chldhood is now in English. Thank you, Shadowlink!

I used to sing to the Japanese version when I watched it. It's one of the reasons I fell in love with it. That and Ed's constant threats of sewing peoples legs into their ears. Ah, one of the most perfect anime ever.

Porno grafitti... suiting name as this song gives you an eargasm. xD

SHIT THIS IS AWESOME! the lyrics are amazing! too bad this is the only cover of this song... this song doesn't get the love it deserves in my opinion.

And people say English anime can't sound good ;D

Sounds exactly like the Japanese version. BUT ENGLISH :D

Lyrics: Sever all your pain from memories plagued in vain Stop the endless woe you've come to know Find your heart and soul ;Break through every wall Until you reach your goal Come on chap you hands and fight until you're finally made whole Gazing skyward, and so sure tomorrow will arrive I don't know how I'll get through by myself With my heart in a daze The birds beside me soar away into the endless sky Will the find with their free spirits the light At the end of this maze? Please wait...I want to fly with you Let me on your back to look of my soul All the pain that haunts me to this day will vanish If I just reach up higher, I'll find what I desire I'll never tire 'til I... Sever all your pain from memories plagued in vain And stop the endless woe you've come to know Find your heart and soul ;Break through every wall Until you reach your goal Come on chap you hands and fight until you're finally made whole In the dark of night and sitting in the endless breeze I am bent down to the ground with no strength And I'm lost in despair It's times like these, I wish I had some wings to fly with ease I don't mind even being the melissa sailing high in the air I've tried to stand upon my feet But every time, I fall back down again Maybe this is not the way to find my answer The wind is calling to me, and it is guiding to me free And I will then find... The key to my way out of this abyss of doubt There's no time to wait or hesitate Even if I'm bound, and the key I have isn't the right one found Still, I will end it with the impact of the lock on the ground My soul will shine it's life through the pain and strife If I'm never saved, I'll still be brave If I disappear, my soul will still live on and help you fight your fears And the moonlight will reflect my shadow to show I'm still here

This is easily my favorite intro in all of anime, and the fact that I finally found an English dub is amazing, the vocals are amazing, It's just all so awesome

I still remember all the words😭 love ur covers still gave me proper happiness today making me think of when I was younger

"We are neither gods nor demons, just humans"-Edward Elric.

I know there is a butterfly named Melissa... which kinda fits the song. Symbolism likes to say butterflies represent souls/spirits

Who still vibin to this in 2020?

i think this is my favorite english cover of this song

Kimi no te de kirisaite Tooi hi no kioku wo Kanashimi no iki no ne wo tometekure yo Saa Ai ni kogareta mune wo tsuranuke Cleave apart the memories of those faraway days with your hands End the breath of sadness Come on, pierce through my chest made anxious by love Asu ga kuru hazu no sora wo mite Mayou bakari no kokoro moteamashiteru Katawara no tori ga habataita Doko ka hikari wo mitsukerareta no ka na Looking at the sky in which the tomorrow will come, I don't know what to do with my heart that is only lost Birds by my side flew away- I wonder if they found light somewhere Naa Omae no se ni ore mo nosetekurenai ka? Soshite ichiban takai toko de okizari ni shite yasashisa kara toozakete Come now, won't you let me ride on your back, too? Then keep far away from the kindess that I deserted at the highest place Kimi no te de kirisaite Tooi hi no kioku wo Kanashimi no iki no ne wo tometekure yo Saa Ai ni kogareta mune wo tsuranuke Cleave apart the memories of those faraway days with your hands End the breath of sadness Come on, pierce through my chest made anxious by love Tori wo yuuyami ni miokutta Chi wo hau bakari no ore wo kaze ga nazeru Hane ga hoshii to wa iwanai sa Semete chuu ni mau MELISSA no ha ni naritai I saw off birds into the dark evening, the wind strokes the me who merely crawls the ground I won't say that I want wings; I want to become melissa leaves dancing in midair, at least Mou Zuibun to tachitsukushite mita kedo Tabun kotae wa nai no darou Kono kaze ni mo iku ate nado nai you ni I've already tried to keep standing many times But that's probably not the answer, right? 'Cause then I won't go against this wind Kimi no te de kagi wo kakete Tamerai nado nai daro Machigatte mo Nidoto aku koto no nai you ni Saa Jou no ochiru oto de owarasete Take the key with your hands, you won't be hesitating, right? Even if you were wrong, if it seems that it'd never open again Come on, end it with the sound of a lock falling Sukui no nai tamashii wa nagasarete kieyuku Kieteyuku shunkan ni wazuka hikaru Ima Tsuki ga michiru yoru wo umidasu no sa A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly Now, it creates a night with a full moon Lyrics for japanese and english!

i remember finding this in like 2014 and i wouldn't stop listening to it, now i found it again and it's like super nostalgia. Great job on this cover!

Ive loved this cover since I discovered it at 15 (which coincedently was the same age I was when i first got into anime and fell in love with it thanks to FMA 2003, which is my favorite anime to this day) My baby brother was born that year, and I actually sang this cover to him once while holding him trying to soothe him to sleep. Cant remember if it worked or not, he was very colicy as an infant lol Im almost 23 now so listening to this again brings back some pretty fond memories

Sever all the pain from memories plagued in vain" This line is about Ed, Al, and me... A lot of things happened in my life... Both good and bad... My dad was in a fight, my brother... Don't wanna talk about it but he's alive... And me... I almost got killed... And those memories caused me pain... But I'm still here living my life to the fullest! And I'm not gonna stop until my time has come.

Ten years later, and this still one of the best anime song adaptations ever.

Your voice is completely perfect for this song. This is utter perfection.

Lyrics: Sever all the pain from memories plauged in vain Stop the endless woe you've come to know Find your heart and soul; Break through every wall Until you reach your goal C'mon, clap your hands and fight until you're finally made whole Gazing skyward, and so sure tomorrow will arrive... I don't know how I'll get through by myself With my heart in a daze The birds beside me soar away into the endless sky Will the find with their free spirits the light At the end of this maze? Please Wait... I want to fly with you Let me on your back to look for my soul All the pain that haunts me to this day will vanish If I just reach up higher, I'll find what I desire I'll never tire 'til I... Sever all the pain from memories plauged in vain Stop the endless woe you've come to know Find your heart and soul; Break through every wall Until you reach your goal C'mon, clap your hands and fight until you're finally made whole In the dark of the night and sitting in the endless breeze I am bent down to the ground with no strength And I'm lost in despair It's times like these, I wish I had some wings to fly with ease I don't mind even being the melissa sailing high in the air I've tried to stand upon my feet But every time, I fall back down again Maybe this is not the way to find my answer The wind is calling to me, and it is guiding me free And I will then find... The key to my way out of this abyss of doubt There's no time to wait or hesitate Even if I'm bound, and the key I have isn't the right one found Still, I will end it with the impact of a lock on the ground My soul will shine it's life through the pain and strife If I'm never saved, I'll still be brave If I dissapear, my soul will still live on and help you fight your fears And the moonlight will reflect my shadow to show I'm still here

You know Melissa is a fucking good song when it is one of your all time favorite anime intro's even without watching the original FMA.

I don't even question the band's name. I question the name of the song... Who's "Melissa?" lol XD

hey, i know this was posted nearly 10 years ago and that you'll probably never see this but.. this cover is super important to me, im a very emotional person due to my severe MDD and this cover has comforted me countless of times. thank you so much

I'm so happy this song is finally in english

You DO sound like Vic. Very well done, Tamaki-Senpai.

Still my favorite cover of this song after all these years, it pops into my head from time to time. Wish it was on spotify!

Aah, Fullmetal Alchemist. My favorite Anime. I remember chuuuuu. :3

This sounds dumb, but this is my favorite opening out of all of the openings of the original FMA.

Omygod this is above and beyond amazing! Im gonna be looping this for months xD Thank you!

I think I already said this to all of your previous songs but.... chills down my spine. just fantastic!

It starts out like a surfing song, with the percussion. At least I think so. :P

Your going places guys! I can totally see Edward singing this! HIGH FIVE TOO YOUUUUUU!!!! >o

My God, you just gave me a trip man! I have been waiting for this for a long time! Thank you so much for making this! You made me want to watch this show again! THANK YOU! I'm having a marathon!

8 years later and still a great cover

This is a perfect translation! You even sound like the singer! Well done.

I reallly like how you didnt change the meaning of the song and kept some of them. I lie this song. Its my second favorite next to let it all out

I have to admit, this is a brilliant version! Well done sir!

I wanted this for so long, how have I never found this before now, thank you for being amazing

I stand by this as the catchiest anime opening ever conceived.

_The first time i heard this song, i was 6 and i was playing a sonic game on my computer called "Final fantasy sonic X5" and now i realize its from this anime. Omg my childhood, the nostalgia.."_

I have been feeling down recently and I rediscovered this song. I was obsessed with it years ago and I still am to this day! It's amazing!!!

this is got to be some of your best work, i love your english covers.

Best fandub ever!!!

I love this anime but I just can’t bring myself to watch it again. It’s too heart wrenching.

I have been waiting for a good fandub of this! :) LOVE IT! x

Thank you thank you thank you. I have been looking for this for a while now.

Better than the ama lee version by far

You just made this opening 10x better

super very thanks for doing this im so happy to hear this version of this song

I really like your version. Thank you for adapting and uploading it ;)

You sound like Vic Mignogna!!

This is my shrine, this is my yoga music. Screw the people who think brotherhood is better, this is my lullaby

Wow I was impressed with this. The lyrics translation are pretty faithful too. Good job guys.

I remember finding this in 2013 and it was as amazing as it was then as it is now....I love it so much

Wow this is amazing! I heard this version on another video and I thought it was Vic Mignogna; then I came here. You sound just like him! :D Great job, as usual!

I'm a big fan! You have the voice that goes with lyrics! You sound like the Fullmetal Alchemist (Ed) himself!

Amazing Cover!!!! So happy you made this!:D

This. Takes. Me. SOOOOO far back!! Good job!

This song makes me so happy!

You sound EXACTLY like Vic Mingogna

Very impressed with the syncing to the original sound in terms of the lyrics. Great writing. :)

This is epic, your voice seems to get better and better every video

Fullmetal alchemist is one of my all time favorite anime ever: The one anime TV show from the early 2000's. Edward elric as a character is great, he's my absolute favorite character in this show.

Your voice is beautiful!

One of your best covers.

This turned out really well! I'm glad some of my lyrics were of use.

damn so much time i listened to this music well done danny ^^ hope see more of your works wich amanda lee

You sound like Ed

This was one badass cover. Great work bro.

Man, this is epic. Smashed subscribe, why this dont have 1milion views already?

THE FEELINGS. THEY'RE BACK.

No joke, I still have a hard time seeing this as *just* a fan cover, cause I still swear I heard this version open an episode to FMA 03 on TV as a kid. Still, it's definitely an amazing cover of, in my opinion, one of the best FMA openings.

Awesome! I love your covers! They're amazing!

He is smack on point with his pitch and tone this is awsome great job kudos to you

THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN looking forever for a cover of this song (sorry for the caps)

"c'mon *Clap your hands and fight until you're made whole*" LOOOOLL (I put the pun in bold!)

Just purely amazing. Love it! Your voice is perfect for all the English Version songs. Thank you! Keep it up!

Oh dude, this is so awesome. Definitely nostalgic x3

I love your voice in this and in Rain! Very well done :)

Now my body's dancing on the beat and you make me whole :P

You sir, just got a new subscriber, watched atleast 8 of your vids so far and im in love with this one!!!

Well done my friend.

This song makes me very, very sad. Because it's from FullMetal Alchemist.

Oh the memories UwU good job dude, now my summer will be spent watching fma...again UwU

This is the best take I have heard!

I love the singing but I just wish the background music sounded better. Whatever, at least I found a good English cover of my favorite anime opening.

U sound like vic mignoga(eds voice actor) ur good

Ahhh! This was my favorite opening and you made it sound even better!!! (I'll always love Porno Graffiti, but this is amazing)

This deserves more love

Final Fantasy Sonic?

Sounds exactly like the original one, except it's in English. :P Amazing work~!
