[Discussion/Q&A] Official Allies Wallpaper has. . . .

 So, I found myself making icons the other day, and found myself looking at one of the official wallpapers Himaruya made of the Allied Forces.


This one here.

So, you see all of those scribbly words there?  That's not gibberish.  It's lyrics.

So, I tried to figure out what they said, what the songs were. . .so, can you help me?  I figured out America's, then, after rereading China's, wondering why it was so familiar, I realized it was more of the same.  The others, however, aren't(I think).  Here's the list so far!  Thanks for your help, guys!  We got them all!  Although, I kind of wonder if there's any relation, or if it was random. . . .(I think of Napolenic France with the whole "you're all apart of me now" part of the lyrics in his. . .and Russia's is obvious, too.)

USA: Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me
France:  The Smashing Pumpkins - The Sacred and Profane
England:  Smashing Pumpkins - Where Boys Fear to Tread
China:  Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me
Russia:  The Smashing Pumpkins - The Sacred and Profane

Thanks so much for your help! Also, sorry, I don't have the smaller sizes of this picture.  orz  I saved the biggest because I thought it'd be better should I decide to make graphics, and I don't have the link to that entry anymore. . . .

Lemme know if I need to edit the tags or something.  /just sort of shoved every tag relatable on here since she didn't know what to do.
And, of course, if this isn't allowed, mods, delete it, or tell me to.

France's seems to be "The Sacred and the Profane" by Smashing Pumpkins.

And I think Russia's is more from the same song (though I'm not 100% sure, fewer of the readable words on his are unique enough for good googling), and Smashing Pumpkin's "Where Boys Fear to Tread" for England.

England's is Where Boys Fear to Tread by Smashing Pumpkins. Good catch on the lyrics! I never would have thought of it. ^^

Wow, I love how they're from songs by bands from Chicago~!
I am too proud of my city. xD

Boy Bands from Chicago.
Boy bands.
So this is what Hima must listen to.

That would explain so much!! xD

He was probably interested in Western music in highschool or something.
Cuz that's when boy bands would've been popular.
Probably why he went to NYC.
He probably also likes classic rock considering the style of these songs here and his usage of a song from the 70s or so in Notosama 6.
Also considering his music choice Hima seems like a pretty cool guy. (But we knew that already.)

/Stalking via song lyrics lolwut

Tell me about it.
I'm now waiting to see when some sort of Fall Out Boy lyrics will come up. ;D

Maybe someone should go ask him what kind of music he likes.

I THINK YOU SHOULD.

WHAT'S HIS TELEPHONE NUMBER?

I have that wallpaper, and I've been wondering what the words were for a really long time.

So thanks!

I wonder if the songs had any meaning

I actually posted the lyrics here years before, but I'm sure it's been a while and new fans would appreciate the heads up.

[identity profile] insomniel.livejournal.com 2010-11-02 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
No problem. As I said, it's been years, you would have had to look through a ton of entries to find it, and no one wants to do that.

Woah. This makes me so happy! I wondered what the words were xD Even better that they are lyrics :3

I love you.

Saw this when it was originally posted by someone else. But I guess it's good for people new to the fandom? o_o;

Yeah, especially since livejournal will only allow you to search back through the tags so far.

Oh, I did not notice before o.o

"Will our love ever be enough
Just in time to prove
Will our words ever be enough
Just in time to lose"

This has been one of the first lyrics I tried to translate by myself...
Whenever I see it, I cry... (out of joy, of course!)
Zero/Glass still rocks!!! <3 (well, maybe just in Japan!XD)
My heart for "Machina", forever and ever!

Thank you soooooo much for your post! <3
