song: (You are ) Reason I'm Alive
artist: Drowning Pool
album: Full Cirle
scenes: Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, Kingdom Hearts 1,2 Final Mix and the opening scene from Valkyrie Profile 2





hidden scenes: Riku, Kairi, Cloud and Aerith's feet on the flower field and some bit more, take time to find them

im fond of this song though i dont think its a masterpiece. its a mix between sad and yet strong feeling (strong passion, huge agony, strong will of revenge, etc) so yea... again i got to say its interesting to listen to.

its the first time ive used Final Mix cut scenes, hope it brought good effect. i just think for Roxas, being a Nobody of Sora already makes him alive because of Sora. even if he got a different life and had no idea about his true person (body.memories? etc) which is Sora, he still longed for Sora, for the bit of existing beyond himself. although in KH2 after all Roxas already got back to Sora's body, i guess Roxas would never disappear, he will always be a part of Sora, he is Nobody but not nobody



DROWNING POOL LYRICS
"Reason I'm Alive"

Whatever happened to till death do us part?
Together forever slowly severed us apart
You know, dreams are just like lies (dreams are just like lies), when you walk away?
I never want to feel again, as the blackness settles in
And I only have one thing left to say

You're the reason that i'm alive
Twist that knife but I just won't die
You're the reason that i'm alive (reason that I'm alive)
Leave you here as you watch me fly away
Woah-oh, woah-oh, as you watch me fly away
Watch me fly away

Whatever happened to the lies that I believed?
And wasn't it you that said the truth will set us free?
You know, dreams are just like lies (dreams are just like lies), when you walk away?
And we never even had a chance, as the sadness slips away
And I only have one thing left to say

You're the reason that i'm alive (reason that I'm alive)
Twist that knife but I just won't die
You're the reason that i'm alive (reason that I'm alive)
Leave you here as you watch me fly away
Woah-oh, woah-oh, as you watch me fly away
Woah-oh, woah-oh, as you watch me fly away

I'm rising up on broken wings
And I'm choking back these empty sins
Well I hope you take this, take this as you want

You're the reason that i'm alive (reason that I'm alive)
Twist that knife but I just won't die
You're the reason that i'm alive (reason that I'm alive)
Leave you here as you watch me fly away
Woah-oh, woah-oh, as you watch me fly away
