Maybe day three of Halloween Party this year will deliver that mind-blowing performance. HYDE’s performance of “Red Swan” on Music Station a few weeks back didn’t capture the power for the recorded version, and I sincerely hope that YOSHIKI and HYDE have another crack at performing this song together soon. The haunting chorus and echoing words of holding someone like a goddess for eternity create and atmosphere where you can, if for just a moment, believe in things bigger than yourself. It tells a story of bittersweet love, the vocal performance absolutely aches with longing. “Red Swan” is grand in the way only songs written by YOSHIKI can be.

When you separate “Red Swan” from the animation, the song evokes a powerful emotion like standing on a cliff with the waves crashing against the rocks, spraying water into your face, as the sun sets on the horizon. The answer to that question is: hell yes, goddamn. Does “Red Swan” underscore, or undercut, that writing? At the end of the day, is “Red Swan”, on its own merits, a good song? It makes the most heart-stopping things human. The real question is, does Attack on Titan benefit from this soaring, romantic opening song? The show has been both praised and criticized for its pacing, its story beats, and the sober way the most shocking of plot points have been dropped on viewers as if they were discussing the weather. “Red Swan” is trying to bring things down to earth, injecting some thoughtfulness into an atmosphere of politics and bloodshed. “Red Swan” feels weaker in comparison to the high-energy fighting anthems that REVO’s songs created for the show. While some – including myself – could argue that dissonance between graphic imagery and melodious accompaniment can be extremely effective in conveying the shocking horror of violence, many fans of the show were vocal about their doubts about whether “Red Swan” was a worthy successor the previous theme songs. The swelling percussion, passionately romantic lyrics, and murmured philosophical questioning about life juxtaposed against the blood-stained title screen was… different, to say the least. Things got off to a rocky start when the “TV Edit” of “Red Swan” was released. With the singer-songwriter’s blending of speed metal, operatic choir, and intense lyrics deeply entrenched with the identity of the show, many fans of the animation were concerned that somebody totally different could do the opening song and be able to instill the same level of gravitas that such an epic story demanded.
