I normally enjoy Kyosuke Himuro’s voice, but in this instance it has become My Chemical Romanced, auto-tuned and flattened. It’s not a My Chemical Romance song, but it might as well be. And not one from the good old days when they were interesting, punky and hardcore. “Safe and Sound” was written and composed by Gerard and co-produced with Himuro for the new Final Fintasy VII: Advent Children Complete. You know, because it wasn’t complete without the 30 extra minutes of CG eye candy.
Here are the lyrics. There’s a lot of whoa whoa-ing which I’ll abbreviate to ww. I have taken many liberties with punctuation and structuring since I basically just listened to the song a few times and typed out what I heard (it’s become quite a catchy song after 5 listens or so).
