Hiiii congrats on the last day of school!! Time to let the brain out on the pasture, as we say it here where I'm from lol congrats on a year well finished🤝

As for today's d'Arc lyric, I think I've run out of lyrics from that song to ramble about, BUT! I think I started with the honoo desae nakuse wa shinai lines, so it'll be appropriate to end with the following: honoo yori mo kagayaku darou / uruwashiki shinnen / utsukushiki tamashii - it will be more radiant than flames / the splendorous faith / the beautiful soul. Different to the first lines i sent, where all of them sung all the lines, here all three of them sing the first two, but it's only Shu who sings the third line.

Since we broached the subject yesterday, we could also draw the parallel with Jean d'Arc, and her becoming canonised despite being burnt as a heretic. Ex-Valkyrie burning, but present-Valkyrie still rising to become one of the "tops" of the industry? Something ab them never losing their "faith", and their faith is likely connected to art considering the lyrics from other songs.

Well, I can always ramble to you ab other Valkyrie songs, too. I've noticed they don't tend to use rhymes, but they sure are fond of metaphors and assonances. I could probably find more, if I try lol

Thanks, Korka!!! I think my brain was already in the pasture though I've done nothing for the last like two weeks sdgksh. I'm glad to be done~~ (That's such a fun saying though!!! I'd love to hear more~)

Pretty... The fact that Shu is the only one who sings the last line is interesting... He was kind of the person who got burnt the most a la Jean/Joan, wasn't he? It was his unit that went up in flames despite carrying a 'beautiful soul' (whether you see that as Shu's soul itself, or the 'soul' contained within Valkyrie, well. That's up to you). Maybe I'm off base, but it's a neat parallel to consider ^-^

I adore the parallels tbh. I love thinking on it!!!! And you're more than welcome to talk about other songs ^-^ I love hearing your thoughts and seeing what I can add :D
