Just out of sheer randomness, I ended up stumbling across a band called Curl Up And Die while surfing the 'net on Friday night. On their EP
...But The Past Ain't Through With Us there is a song called "God Is In His Heaven, All Is Right With The World." Being an Eva fan, I recognised that line right away, yet I also knew that the phrase was originally a line from a really old song/poem that many pastors and priests quote during their sermons. (Whenever I do a Google search for that phrase, all I get are Eva fan sites.)
I went to
Dark Lyrics to check out the lyrics to that song, and lo and behold, it contains the following line (which I now use for my sig):
Curl Up And Die wrote:Sometimes I just want to pilot a giant robot, spending days that only exist in my head.
Apparently one or more of the members are comic book geeks. A lot of comic books geeks I know are at least somewhat familiar with anime beyond what's on TV.
I think that it's safe to assume that this is meant to be an Eva reference.
What are some anime references you've come across in music from the Western Hemisphere?[/url]
Sometimes I just want to pilot a giant robot, spending days that only exist in my head.
