Author's Note:

This is a sort of "music video," if you will. I do NOT own the song, Savage Garden does. I do tend to think of things artistically; I am an artist as well. Perhaps eventually I'll upload a series of sketches to go along with this, but at the moment you'll have to use your imagination.

You Can Still Be Free

Savage Garden and Inuki-chan



Cool breeze and autumn leaves

Slow-motion daylight

A lone pair of watchful eyes

Oversee the living

Feel a presence all around

A tortured soul, a wound unhealing

No regrets or promises

The past is gone

But you can still be free

If time will set you free

Time now to spread your wings

To take to flight, the life endeavor

Aim for the burning sun

Get trapped inside

But you can still be free

If time will set you free

But it's a long long way to go

Keep moving way up high

You see the light, it shines forever

Sail through the crimson sky

The purest light

The light that sets you free

If time will set you free

Sail through the wind and rain tonight

You're free to fly tonight

And you can still be free

If time will set you free

And go high on a mountaintop

And go high like the wind don't stop

swirling red and gold leaves pan to a sun-

dappled forest

Battousai eyes gleam in a tree

quick pan to the dojo - Kaoru's in the yard

Kaoru looks around nervously

Battousai's cuts bleed (a la OAVs)

scene freezes and half-fades

then blows away in smoke

Kenshin stands in the wind watching birds

above him (panning upwards)

a bird slashes across the screen to reveal a

bird's-eye view of tokyo

pan up to the noon sun

overlay of Kenshin in the sun

sun fades, leaving Kenshin to smile

determinedly

fast montage of Battousai

Kenshin's feet climb a rocky slope

Kenshin's face pans to a sunset view with a

beautiful red sky

the sun goes white and fills the screen

then fades to reveal Kenshin standing on a

bluff in the wind

pan up to the moon with leaves swirling in

front of it - one leaf cuts to

Kenshin and Kaoru standing close together,

Kenshin's arm around her shoulder - slow

infinite zoom out reveals they're on a

mountaintop at night, with the Kenshin-

And go high

free to fly tonight

free to fly tonight

free to fly tonight

free to fly tonight

free to fly tonight

gumi a few steps back and down, then

reveals the green valley spread out in front

of them with birds dancing in the air and in

front of the moon - as the music fades, the

screen fades to black
