The following songs have long been ignored by those of us in the Goth set because they sound bright and cheery or are from sources most people wouldn't expect Gothic music to come from. People, please- something doesn't have to have the melody of a torch song or crawl out of the seemy underground record scene to be Gothic! In the spirit of Gothic as a way of life that accepts death and darkness along with everything else, I present my Un-Goth Song List. This is my collection of songs that seem cheery enough... until you really pay attention to the lyrics. If you have any songs you would like to see added to the list, please please email me the following: Song Title Artist's Name A link to the lyrics A link to CD Numbers 3 and 4 are optional, but VERY appreciated! Thank you!

10. Nobuo Uematsu (composer): One Winged Angel- Final Fantasy VII Original Soundtrack
    One Winged Angel Lyrics
    This CD is available on Amazon.com but is prohibitively expensive. Check your local game store for a copy under $90.00.
    SPECIAL WEBBE-MISTRESS' NOTE: Yes, this one is in Latin. Why? Because almost all the lyrics are from Carl Orff's opera Carmina Burana. Don't dismiss it, though: it's a powerful song with wonderful orchestrals and amazing vocals!
11. Diane Michelle: Your Hiroshi- Tenchi Muyo! OST
    Your Hiroshi Lyrics
    Get the CD from Amazon.com
    SPECIAL WEBBE-MISTRESS' NOTE: There are several arguments over who's who in this song. After hearing the song and reading the lyrics over and over, it is my personal belief that the person the singer is speaking of is male, and has dumped his girlfriend for Hiroshi, his new boyfriend.
