Music Quest : Original “Brave” for Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist (Hiromu Arakawa)
– I like Gio Navas for numerous reasons but I wont go into all of them at the moment. She actually writes these songs, which is even more impressive when you add in her vocal range and instrumentation skills (I can’t play a musical instrument at all).
This song is one of her newer Fullmetal Alchemist songs it seems, I have had the pleasure of personally hearing her perform (she’s wow in person, even better to me than in these videos). Sadly, I could not locate the songs I heard her in person performance. However I will be putting more of her videos up so hopefully you guys can get something you like.
Gio Navas really seems to be an animehead. She is the most talented animehead, I have ever met off the top of my head. She’s very impressive, in the video you will probably see her nerd out abit. Those nerd moments for an animanga lifer…. have there own special endearing qualities that some people in the culture call “moe“(I use the endearing not moe, anti trendy, yes ma’am). When I listen to her nerd out over animanga and I hear the soul effect that the product in subject has had on her. I hope that my stories before I pass can have similar impact on those who follow it. Hopefully that same love will be there when we an produce an anime or two.(now I just need to get back to my original schedules and plans, lol).
Listen to her awesome song, you can read the lyrics below and please subscribe to her on Twitter and intake more of her from Youtube (she has alot and that is impressive. I’m serious its hard to get some people to be consistent). Follow Gio Navas, I honestly think that one day you will hear her music in an animanga. I say this because when we animate a series, I would honestly try to acquire her talents for a great intro or outro (and recommend them to others). You can beat me to it, by listening to and or sharing her material. More people will see her talent and more producers(people who produce goods and services for consumption) will want to use her obvious skills.

Lyrics
––Now here we are.
Alive so far.
Burning out like shooting stars.
But withering,
I’ve broken free of a curse that nearly killed me.
-We don’t fight for vengeance
We’re bleeding from our hearts.
The nightmare lies behind us.
It’s too late for us to restart.
But here is where good men come to die.
A price paid for my blind sacrifice.
-Stumbling through a lucid dream,
challenged by the toxic air.
The battle lives inside of me.
I see its shadows everywhere.
-I was once buried alive.
I still don’t know how I survived.
And fire doesn’t burn so well
after you’ve dragged yourself from Hell.
-But here you are.
My guiding star.
What lies behind my beating heart.
We haven’t died
Blazing inside. Reclaiming fragments of our lives.
-We don’t fight for vengeance
We’re bleeding from our hearts.
The nightmare lies behind us.
It’s too late for us to restart.
But here is where good men come to die.
A price paid for my blind sacrifice.
-Seconds are abstracted.
We’re measured by our breaths.
But I’m not disillusioned.
We’re not fighting to the death.
-I can’t tell where the days end.
The future’s infinite.
But we’re in this together so I’m less afraid of it.
-We don’t fight for vengeance
We’re bleeding from our hearts.
The nightmare lies behind us.
Now is our moment to restart.
Here is where evil comes to die.
Here is where the brave come to fight.
Today is our last sacrifice.
The road towards our beckoning light.
