I'd say Sinon is probably the most well developed character in the show. Not my favorite, but she was written and played so excellently and with such spot on emotion it was just an incredible experience watching her backstory unwind itself

#sinon is so under rated, like everybody is like she's just another clingy girl, but this girl got 3/4 of a whole season. Not 1 episode like lisbeth. And not half a season leaf and asuna. I love her back story too.

This cover is now available on iTunes~! itunes.apple.com/us/album/startear-sword-art-online/id955036600 -- I apologize for the wait! iTunes had trapped this one in approval limbo...

I cried. Such a beautiful song. You sang it so elegantly, and arranged the song into words to better express who Sinon was as a character! Thank you for brightens up my everyday and helping me to "find out what's to come."

Just suggestions :) 1-3) oath sign, to the beginning, MEMORIA from Fate/Zero 4) ideal white from Fate/stay night: Unlimited Budget Works 5) PAPERMOON from Soul Eater 6) COLORS from Code Geass 7) Calendula Requiem from Shiki 8) Hacking to the Gate from Steins;Gate 9-15) again, Hologram, Period, Rain, Uso, LET IT OUT, RAY OF LIGHT from FMA:Brotherhood 16) Sorairo Days from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 17-18) LIAR MASK & Tsuki Akari from Akame ga Kill! 19) Tsukiakari no Michishirube from Darker than Black 20) courage from SAO II Happy New Year & Nice Startear cover :)

I can't wait for Courage now! This is awesome! Sinon is a very good character, but YUUUUKIIIIII! Wahhhhhhh! I love your singing too! :)

This has to be one of my favorite covers of hers. 10/10

this hits me right at my heart i-i-i actually feel emotion wow amalee, did you unlock my emotions? cause for many years (my whole life) I couldn't feel, I couldn't be sad, happy, afraid, nothing I could only imitate them but now I feel. thank you, thank you for putting down so many years of anger, hostility and many more, thank you.

Omg I'm fangirling thank u amalee now if I can hear Shirushi by LiSA I will faint in my chair

I will get all these songs. Once I have an apple product. Which is highly unlikely. *sigh*

I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart Against the pain and take it away, because there must be more than this Those countless times I gave up all hope Because I couldn’t change what’s behind me I hid inside my shell from the world Out of sight, tucked away so that no one could see Once again I feel all of the pain rise inside Rushing back to me like an unstoppable tide I don’t need the warmth, and no, I don’t need the pain I’m fine without this thing called “love” I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart Against the pain and take it away So I can overcome the dark, just like a shooting star in the sky Into the deep, I sink, nearing the brink My heart and soul succumb to the fall I try to scream but there’s no sound So I accept I won’t be found But then I hear your voice calling I’m no longer falling but rising up as you pull me to the light The world I knew, once quiet and grey Began to change when you looked my way I thought sure my heart wouldn’t heal But I guess, you have made the impossible real Look me in the eyes and make my heart skip a beat Fill my world with my world with color and set my spirit free I was never falling - I was swept off my feet The very moment you reached me I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart And find the strength to heal what’s inside So I can overcome the dark, just like a shooting star in the sky Into the deep, I sink, nearing the brink But now I know you’re there if I fall I’ll show the darkness I can fight And when I’m lost, you’ll be the light So now there’s no hesitating I’m tired of waiting to turn the page and to find out what’s to come I always treasure our time together, these golden memories When I was falling and you were calling, I heard a knock on the door Through all the pain I’ve overcome, I’ll take a step out of my shell I’ve waited all this time to turn the page And now I’ll finally blink away what held me back in the past, I swear! I wish to numb my heart, to numb my heart Against the pain and take it away So I can overcome the dark, just like a shooting star in the sky This oath will never die, my tears have dried I’ll never let my life slip on by because I know there’s more than this And if I only have one wish I pray the chapter that follows will lead to tomorrow So I will see what the future holds for me

Is it just me, or are the closings better than the openings? Innocence was good, but Overfly is amazing, I don't love Ignite, but Startear is really good!

this song gives me meaning to my lonely life

"I wish to become stronger" are the first lines :( that is what makes this song so buiteful..

Hmmm I think I got the Openings down SAO 1 opening 1:Kirito SAO 1 Ending 1:Asuna SAO 1 Opening 2:Suguha SAO 1 Ending 2:Asuna SAO 2 Opening 1:Kirito SAO 2 Ending:Sinon SAO 2 Opening 2:Asuna/Kirito (Excalibur arc/Mother Rosario) SAO 2 ending 2:Yuuki Think I got it down if anyone has better ones post them :D

wow!! I never paid attention to the lyrics until now. shinon is such a relatable character.

She's my favorite in all of SAO

Now I want to give Sinon a hug now for some reason...

... Don't make me cry again SAO. I fucking dare you.

the resons i love these song is because thats how i always feel and i can relate with all the charictors

This got me through sixth grade.

Literally can relate to every single word and verse in this song, it scares me how much I can relate |:< This is my fav song of yours, you have a beautiful voice, please keep making content!!~

Great job ! Your voice is... Amazing

These SAO songs you do always make my day. im actually in the ER right now for my dad but this made me feel a lil bit better thank you

Please do akame ga kill op2 (liar mask) PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

This song became my favorite in a second. I love it so much since the lyrics relate to me so much. I'm very happy that LeeandLie uploaded this video for me to listen!

Oh.... Oh my....w-what is this I'm feeling ;-; it's lie.. Sad-happy....sappy?

I relate with Sinon/Asada way too much.

AND PEOPLE WONDER WHY I SHIP SINON X KIRITO! Beautiful cover~

Wow you must have the _"Courage"_ to make these SAO songs. **Cough Cough**

I started watching sao a while back and was like I need the songs in English not a minute later I found ur videos and loved them ,so thanks

LeeandLie, I love how you bring life to your music rather your own originality version or from the song itself from the actual anime. It even get my own hair starts to pointing up, due to the surge of good music coming from the soul of the artist of yourself. I know you have requested from allot KZfaq fans (me include). BUT I hope one of these days, if you could do Bleach Opening "Scandal", and Bleach Ending "Last Moment." I think your voice would enrich those songs.

This is just what I need to get through a hard day at work. Great work Amanda!

still as touching as ever an incredible cover indeed!

I've just been listening to this cover for the past hour... I'm never gonna get tired of this. Thank you so much for this cover! Keep up the great work!!

There's so many good anime openings recently, I'm exited to see what covers she will make this year

just sitting here, waiting patiently for no more time machine *-*

SINON!

I like this song the best of SAO songs.

I really love this song so much. The lyrics you chose and your lovely voice are amazing together! Keep up the good work!

He escuchado muchos covers de SAO y este es el que mas me gusta *.*

COURAGE COURAGE COURAGE!!! PLEASE DO IT PLEASE DO IT PLEASE DO IT!!! *also this song is awesome*

this song explains my whole life............

Always thanks for the English songs that make me feel pleasant !

This is really Amazing. I enjoyed every second of this

This is so gorgeous. Beautifully done. Your voice is so unique!

Amanda, not to be rude but, I would like you to cover シルシ (Shirushi). It's a nice song and it is close to my heart as the true Japanese lyrics replicates a point of my life that is sad. So yeah, I would be great. Thanks even if you decline :)

I LOVE THIS VERSION IS WAY BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL YOUR VOICE FITS LIKE WAY MORE

The Irregular at Magic High School ED 2 needs to be done. ?!

Such a beautiful song full of hope, wonderful lyrics really captures this song's essence😊 Wonderful job as always amalee 😊

Sao has some of the best openings and closings these lyrics really get me and speak to me on another level

So yeah I got main Character purpose Sao:Kirito and Asuna Sao season 2:Sugu Sao 2:Sinon Sao season 2:Yuuki

Goosebumps! This is undeniably amazing!

Bootyful, but honestly I love your voice I’ve been loving your work for a while on different accounts, I hope one day I’ll be as good as you

These videos just keep on getting better and better.

Why do these feelings overcome me? Why does her voice bring me to tears because all i think about how angelic is... Im in love with her voice... I need to find her

who else cryed their selves to sleep when yukki died 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Such a big of an anime fan base here, there's no one at school who actually likes anime. It makes me want to cry, especially with this so fucking nostalgic song.

This would be a great song for a lullaby version!

i think this song compliments your voice the best out of all the sao themes. its amazing. good job.

Boy: If she wear the same jays as me, she is bae Me: If he watch the same anime, he is bae!

why isn't crossing field, innocence, or ignite on iTunes?

I really love how you done so much on your account and these songs. Especially the April fool songs XD keep at it! I can't wait to hear more! X3

yep cry almost every day hearing this song is my favorite thing to do.

FRIST

That ending oh my god, this channel really is moving forward. And now on itunes YESS

This is probably the best english version of startear I have heard.

This is perfect expected no less c: very beautiful.

This song was a song I love so I was happy to sing it! Please keep doing a good job! !

Ive been listening to this song everyday so much for 6 months now, it sound so damn amazing and made it easier for me to relate to the song since its in english. But i have to say you have such a lovely voice and tbat this song has helped me through so much. (Ive memorised all the lyrics)

Really loved listening to this song on the end credits of SAO. Great English adaptation!

this actually made quite happy

Great song, great anime and great vocals. Nice work translating it too sounds awesome =)

The song is so much better when you know whats being said. Otherwise it's just another beat, thanks so much for letting me understand them :P

Yeah, It's good to be back

Amazing and beautiful voice

i love your SAO english Versions

After just listening to Fire emblem and I started to listen to more of these songs I love them alot this youtuber is awesome!!!!

I sang this when I was still in grade 4 and it was japanese and no one understands.... gladly amalee made an english version of this... thanks btw😘😍

This song is coming from the heart ❤️🤧❤️ I love it so much. TuT

My favourite characters Sinon,Yuuki,Kirito,Asuna ^w^

I love this song! You have an amazing voice and i hope you keep making videos with that amazing talent of yours!

I've been listening to this for weeks, during assignments, going to sleep, etc. yet it continues to amaze me. One of the few English covers which is even better than the original. Amanda Lee has an absolutely beautiful voice, and this is such a perfect song for her voice! Keep it up!! :)

I really love this song. You sing it so beautiful! 3

I relate to this song too much…well until it stops being sad anyway

This is da best one EVER!!!

Depressed middle school me: -listening to this - Lonely and somewhat depressed college me (present day) : * listening *

Wow!!! Your voice is so crystal! So elegant! Love your singing!! ;) :)

This is the millionth time I hear this song

Awesome job! That really was incredibly well done, I can't wait to see what cover you choose to do next.

Waited for this a long time and I'm not disappointed! ^.^ Thank you Amanda!

pwow this song really represents sinon

This relates to me so much... but i still haven't found the person who brings me out... anyone?!! :) LOL

I love your music of English versions of TV series and they they still convey the same emotions that's why I love them thank you for making them 😊

I know each Sao song is based on a certain person this being Sinon but it seems like the characters themselves especially this one are singing the song and expressing their pain

From Your Lie in April In not sure if you can translate "Goose House". It is a duet but if you heard it you will favorite it instantly. Don’t believe me? Hear it and believe it.

me gusta mucho este cover me hace sentir identificada

AMAZING!!!!

I love this song ❤ It’s kind a bit crazy how much it calls me out > . > Not the finding someone to love parts unfortunately but more so the transition from introversion, isolation and being terrified of the world to finding the confidence to step out of your shell and fight your fears in hopes of a brighter future.

Is this even real?!?! ITS TOO GOOD TO BE REAL!! T~T
