''A number of porcupines huddled together for warmth on a cold day in winter, but, as they began to prick one another with their quills, they were obliged to disperse. However, the cold drove them together again, when just the same thing happened. At last, after many turns of huddling and dispersing, they discovered that they would be best off by remaining at a little distance from one another. In the same way, the need of society drives the human porcupines together, only to be mutually repelled by the many prickly and disagreeable qualities of their nature. The moderate distance which they at last discover to be the only tolerable condition of intercourse is the code of politeness and fine manners, and those who transgress it are roughly told-in the English phrase-to keep their distance. By this arrangement, the mutual need of warmth is only very moderately satisfied, but then people do not get pricked. A man who has some heat in himself prefers to remain outside, where he will neither prick other people nor get pricked himself.'' - Arthur Schopenhauer, the hedgehog's dilemma.
"*This cosmic dance of bursting decadence and withheld permissions twists all our arms collectively*, but if sweetness can win - and it can - then I'll still be here tomorrow to high-five you yesterday, my friend. Peace"
there's something beautiful about part IV that not a lot of people comment about. It's...well lonely. The lone guitar plays a solemn lament by itself with each chord striking into the soul and calling for a moment of introspection in the dark, it is later joined by another guitar but it doesn't seem to synchronize with it, just in the background...out of reach. close, but never together. it then goes back to the lonely guitar playing again, by itself. This song is the ultimate shinji theme imo because it just encompasses his character in one song. I may just be overlooking it tho.
No you got a point, threw the whole Eva series there’s a theme of isolation/loneliness, from the streets of the city being empty, to the characters feelings, so I wouldn’t be surprised that the ost would do it too This kinda why I luv Eva :,)
@@tomemeornottomeme1864 Actually you don't need the dummy lance to defeat Unit 02. Its umbilical cord was broken (this is unavoidable due to the enemies being sufficiently knowledgeable and the cord being so fragile that even conventional human weapons can break it). Its power only lasts 5 minutes. After it shuts down, those Mass Produced Units will defeat the motionless Unit 02 anyways. The only way for Asuka to win is for her to know in advance that the Mass Produced Units are deathless unless the core/S2 engines are destroyed. She must focus on destroying the cores rather than just tearing them apart.
i hope that you all were able to get through your crisis and remember that there is nothing wrong with talking about your problems with your friends or a therapist
I don't find myself listening to this piece frequently, but when I do, it's always when I'm looking at the wall clock, watching the seconds tick away, as I sit in one place, disappointed at myself, frustrated at myself, hopeless of myself, asking myself what I'm doing with my life, why I can't find the motivation to get up and do something productive, why do I feel so alone even with so many people around me, why I struggle so much to communicate my feelings. The sound of the main instrument here feels like what the clock is trying to say to me as time keeps moving in front of my eyes
You have to start slowly, do something nice and small that you never did before. For me, it was walking home after school, those 30 minutes of simple walk were so great, because I found the courage to do it, because it was healthy, because I had time to think, because I had time to distance myself from my "parents". Everything starts from somewhere, and if you start being confident in yourself you can do everything. You should also take a small break from your phone for a day or 2, that help tremendously
You have recognized your frustration, and it is the first step in the right direction. You will get your answers eventually because those who seek will find, so never stop searching. Some things are for you alone to discover, where no one can follow you nor help you even if they wanted to. It will be difficult, but remember that growth can only come from challenge. Fear is a welcoming friend there to remind you that you are alive
I have often similar thoughts. I'm at an age where all my friends have long lasting relationships, some are even married and the first kids are on the way. All while I'm almost 30 and never had a relationship even once. So I really get what you're saying. But try to not think to hard about the things that are saddening you. It's far easier said than done, I know, but there are moments when you will just get into a downnwards spiral with this view. Maybe look at the things you got and others don't. Or find something that you can change about your situation, even if it's just a little step in the right direction. I just reached the point where I had enough of these constant negative thoughts. You don't need a reason to be happy and it's helping no one when you're sad. As long as you can't use negative thoughts as an incentive to strive for something bigger/better/new you should flip them the bird and kiss them goodbye. And yes, that isn't easy but you can do it!
The anime itself can carry a large amount of different emotions and feelings, the afterwards thinking too, but i swear, this theme give me the chills every single damn time, and it's been years ...
my dad asked us if we had any pictures we had from the last year we would like to add to our family christmas card. listening to this while revisiting so many hundreds of little precious moments of the year that i had forgotten about, and suddenly, i felt a swell of emotion, mild joy, and a deep contentedness wash over me
i watched more than 500 animes but i found that fullmetal is the best but.......it was only before i found this masterpiece..... when i ask everybody about it they say it's boring but i surprisely liked it then.......i watched the movie the end of eva.......it causes me depression and i decided to start over and over then i saw everything about the story and i was kinda happy because i didn't miss it
I love this bit of music its something very special and it fits so well with the scenes used in the series. I feel i can connect with it on a more spiritual level but i also feel a very strong emotion of loneliness especially when i watched this during a part of my life where i felt empty but i doubt i will ever hear another piece of music like this again
I where juste in my bed at 02:57 late night, in a bad mood and I didn't knew I was in the exactly same pose as shinji, with my headphones and thinking about loneliness.
honestly tho, the 4th version is beautifully done well. i love the guitar, and this reminds me of the ost in the last of us games where most of the songs have this nice soothing guitar that gives out feelings of being lonely.
pov: you are at that part of an evangelion video where they start slowing things down after the initial 2 minutes of trolling the anime and the fanbase
There's a version of this that plays at the end of the first rebuild, and I think that's one of the best versions (I think it's this song but I'm not sure)
Does anyone know how to play this on guitar and if you do could you tell me how to or recommend a good website that can teach me? I really want to learn this.
