For Rel
Note: I don't own Gundam Wing or the characters, and I don't own any of the songs in here. They all go to their own respectable anime. In short, there are not just Gundam Wing songs. I just own Adam and any other different characters.
Again, I sincerely apologize for the stupid lyrics. Just can't think of a way around them. So, I ask that you skip them again, if you don't want to read lyrics that is. Also, I apologize for the overuse of the word sang, such an annoying word to me now.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, the band had started up the next song on their agenda before Heero had time to even open his mouth to reply to Sally's question. Perfect timing too, he had no idea what his reason was going to be, and he knew the whole "we need her to maintain peace" reason was going to be shot down again. What could he say anyways? It wasn't like he had a lot of experience during the last three years in communicating any emotion of his, he could communicate to himself for that fact. All he knew was that he wanted to find Relena, he had to find her in order for his mission to be completed.
"Sou migaki tsuduketa NAIFU no you sa
Kao ga utstteru mado no mukou de
Boko wo neratteru suki wo misetara
Ima ni mo hanesoua na
Sonna haritsumeta PURESSHAA tonari awarse de
Dare yori daitan futeki ni warau
Kitto dare ni totte mo onaji koto daro
I must fight against myself!" started off Adam as a very brief drum and guitar duet took place between Sage and Lynn. From then the song was turned over to Draca.
"Sou hito ga yosasou na kao de yatte kuru
Totsuzen no higeki mo utagau koto ha naku
Nageku koto sezu damatta mama de us wo miagerun da
Donna arifureta SHIIN mo enji tsudukero
Kitto dare ni totte mo onaji koto daro
You must fight against yourself!"
A much longer and lasting guitar, keyboard, and drum break ensued after Draca finished her last line. During this time she went up to Salimar and whispered something in her ear, all the while Salimar expertly kept playing her part with the rest of the band. After Draca told Salimar what she wanted to, Salimar gave her a reassuring nod and than asked Draca to adjust her microphone for her. Doing so, Draca gave Salimar a thumbs up before leaving the queer color haired girl to return to her microphone.
"The sun sets and a new day comes
Repeating is one change
Don't avert eyes from differences
Your nerve and soul to the limit
Go forward NOW!" sang Salimar only to have Draca take over the song once again after a very momentary pause.
"Haritsumeta PURESSHAA tonari awase de
Dare yori daitan futeki ni warau
Kitto dare ni totte mo onaji koto daro
I must fight against myself!" Brief instrumental take, again.
"Kitto dare ni totte mo onaji koto daro
You must fight against yourself!" repeated Draca than the rest of the band hung onto their last note, and Sage did a short roll of the cymbal.
Apparently the music had attracted more people into the bar, for Heero didn't remember seeing about thirty or so people in the bar before. Almost everyone of them was applauding making it sound like rolling thunder, which was actually amazing to Heero. One band, that wasn't well known, attracting so many people?! Unheard of!
"Whoa! Where the hell did all of you come from?!" Sage cried out as he stood up from behind the drum set and leaned into his microphone.
"They came to hear Lynn!" answered Adam giving Lynn a playful wink when she turned and glared at him as she adjusted the toning of her guitar. "Let's turn it down a notch and have Lynn give you all a wonderful experience, eh?" Most of the men in the bar, including a very over-active Duo was joining in on the cheering for Lynn to sing. Duo even got Quatre to do a "whoop", once, and it was a very soft one that would never have been heard on the platform.
Salimar started up the next song by playing a series of eighth note cords repeatedly for five seconds than was joined by Lynn while Adam put down his guitar and headed to the back of the stage. At the same moment, Lynn began singing while Salimar adjusted the keyboard sound to bell chimes.
"Nee, aishitara, daremouga
Konna kodoku ni naru no?
Nee, kurayami yori mo, fukai kurushimi
Dakishimeteru no?
Nanimo kamo ga futari kagayaki tame kitto," vocalized Lynn as Draca entered playing a tambourine, hitting it lightly with her fingers in a claw shape.
"Kimi wo, kimi wo ai shiteru
Kokoro de, mitsumete iru
Kimi wo, kimi wo shinjiteru
Samui yoru mo," all three of the girls sang, each singing on a different key making a cord with their voices. Following it was a prelude into the next verse.
"Nee, koishite mo, dare inmo itsu ka
Owari ga kuru no?
Nee, aozora yori mo, sunda
Tokimeki suttee shimau no?
Kisetsu kawaru no kaze
Michi wo hashiru, zutto," sung by Draca, having taken over the music as she had a habit of doing, all the while still playing the tambourine.
"Kimi wo, kimi ai shiteru
Kokoro de, mitsumete iru
Kimi wo, kimi wo shinjiteru
Samui yori mo."
Out of nowhere, Adam returned on the stage playing a bagpipe solo with only Lynn as his accomplice while all other instruments were silenced. People from the crowd, including Quatre, were applauding Adam when he finished and the song was than turned back over to the other instruments as well as Lynn.
"Tatoe ashita nakushite mo
Anata wo ushinatte mo
Dekiru kagiri no egao de kagayakitai
Namida de ima yobikakeru
Yakusoku nado iranai
Kimi ga kureta taisetsu na tsuyosa dakara.
Hitomi de ima yobikakeru
Yakusoku nado iranai
Hitomi de ima te wo nobasu
Samui yoru mo," Lynn did as a solo except for the last line, that was sung as a cord between all three girls. The ending of the song consisted of the bell chimes from the keyboard and cymbals decrescendo, than there was the finale with Salimar running her fingers across the entire keyboard making a wind chime sound.
There were now wolf calls, whistling, stomping, and whooping as half the bar stood up and applauded the band for their last song, Quatre and Trowa were among those standing people. "Does this always happen?" growled Heero to Sylvia after having just been bumped into by a drunken old man.
"Only when they play, though I must admit, I have never heard so many of their music sung in Japanese. In fact, I didn't even know that Sage knew Japanese until tonight," noted Sylvia to Heero. "Wonder when or where he learned, including his brother, Adam. Neither knew Japanese, that I know of. Plus, I'm wondering when Adam learned how to play the bagpipes."
"Oh…look at all those pretty girls in the crowd boys! Wow, I think they want to hear you two sing a solo," suggested Salimar into her microphone. "What do you two say?" The question had been asked towards Lynn and Draca.
"I agree," stated Lynn in agreement while Draca just nodded really slowly with an evil smirk on her lips. Both males cringed in fear and Adam shook his head vigorously as he put his bass guitar back on, all the while Sage held up a silver crucifix.
"The power of God compels thee!" yelled Sage so that everyone could hear him. Most of the girls in the bar stood up and yelled for the boys to do a song, including the gundam boys' girls and Sylvia.
"I do believe they think otherwise guys," teased Lynn.
"Come on, don't be shy," chided Draca.
"Fine," agreed Adam giving Salimar a playful glare than turned to Lynn and gave her a nod, she started up on the electric guitar, after retuning it. Following her was the bass and drums, softly they played but than crescendo to forte.
"FLASH BACK! Kagayaku kaze
FLASH BACK! Sekai wo kakenukeru
DON'T STOP! Furimukanai
DON'T STOP! Dare mo tomerarenai." Whole band did a "call and response" format for the opening; everyone against Adam, who than took over from there solo.
"Jibun dake ni wakaru puraido kakete
Inochi made moteasonde ikite iru
Me no mae no yume yori
Kiwadoi geemu wo motome
Ore-tachi ha haruka na asu he no
Doa wo tataite 'ru"
"FLASH BACK! Dare no tame ni
FLASH BACK! Sekai ha mawaru no ka
DON'T STOP! Kotae ha nai
DON'T STOP! Da kara sagashi ni yuku." From there the solo act switched over to Sage who had a microphone hanging between a pair of cymbals.
"Kodoku dake ga ore wo tsutsumu yoru ni wa
Yoake made hoshi wo kazoete sugosou
Moeagaru honoo ga
Hitomi wo akaku someru
Gin'iro no tsubasa de kirameku
Yume wo oikakeru." Electric solo stepped in with the faint sound of the drums in the background. Skillfully Lynn played high cords on the guitar with speed and grace as she had walked up in front of everyone to show off her skills. Than near the end of her solo she backed off again and let both of the boys take the final verse together.
"Jiyuu to iu kaze ni kokoro sarashite
Hikari yori hayaku
Sora he maiagare oh yeah!
Me no mae no yume yori
Kiwadoi geemu wo motome
Ore-tachi ha haruka na asu he no
Doa wo tataite 'ru!" Drums pounded heavily while the electric and keyboard followed closely behind, all of it ending with a bang!
"Beautifully done guys!" commented Draca having been grabbing unsuspecting people in the bar and get them to start dancing with her, than switch partners. "I think you two brought a tear to my eye!"
"Our mission in life, eh Sage?!" Adam replied.
"All right people, we're going to take a break than it's the finale!" announced Draca. There were groans from the crowd as they applauded for more music. "Demanding crowd, we'll be back in five, FIVE, minutes! While all of you are waiting buy a drink or two from that handsome signore there. Wave Giorgio!" The bartender numbly waved than went back to placing drinks on the counter.
"I'm going to go say hi to them, anyone want an autograph or two?" inquired Sylvia as she stood up.
"Yeah, I do! I do!" cheered Duo as he jumped out of his chair and began to push Sylvia towards the stage. "Come on, come on, we've only got five minutes!"
GAH! I wanted to finish this bar part off this chapter but I can't! Okay, promise to finish off the torturous lyrics and bar scene next chapter. If I don't than you have my permission to threaten me. Trust me, I usually beg for threats to stop but this time I give permission for them.
