The song is call Ender Will Save us All. Its by Dashboard Confestionals. though the song itself has no relation with Enders Game, it fits nicly.

Does anyone agree with me that this would make a good Ender's Game Movie theme Song? [Dont Know]

How could a song called Ender Will Save Us All possibly be unrelated to Ender's Game?

*goes off to download song*

Well what do you expect? I'm supposed to shell out 18 bucks for the cd just because I'm curious as to how this song might be related to my favorite novel?

Feh.

Ender isn't a name.

Well, I'm convinced it's about Ender the fictional character from famed sci-fi novel Ender's Game by OSC. And nothing you can say will change my mind! Yaaar!

Dashboard Confestionals WRong..
Dashboard Confessional Thank you very much

The song Ender will save us all, derives from his name Christopher Ender Carraba.
Heres the lyrics:
It's just like you to contest
Wear it like a label on your breast
don't you see what this takes of me?
A certain callousness complies
With your charm and in your pride
a hopeful look draped in despise.

I want to give you
whatever you need.
What is it you need?
Is it what I need?
I want to give you
whatever you need.
What is it you need?
Is it within me?

It's hard to explain how I am getting by
on so little from you.
It's hard to believe that I would let myself
get so wrapped into you.
There's got to be something that would
be worthwhile for me to give to you.
We need a connection but you
seem to push me far away from you, from you, from you.

The harder I push the further I fall.
Well you don't mind me being headstrong.
But you don't want to sing along.
Maybe it's trite but I can always, always, always be wrong

It's just like you to contest
Wear it like a label on your breast
don't you see what this takes of me?
A certain callousness complies
With your charm and in your pride
a hopeful look draped in despise.

I want to give you
whatever you need.
What is it you need?
Is it what I need?
I want to give you
whatever you need.
What is it you need?
Is it within me?

It's hard to explain how I am getting by
on so little from you.
It's hard to believe that I would let myself
get so wrapped into you.
There's got to be something that would
be worthwhile for me to give to you.
We need a connection but you
seem to push me far away from you, from you, from you.


The harder I push the further I fall.
Well you don't mind me being headstrong.
But you don't want to sing along.
Maybe it's trite but I can always, always, always be wrong, be wrong, be wrong
Try not to be, try not to be, try not to be, try not to be wrong


So it has nothing to do with enders game.. and No dissing DBC

Was he born after 1978? Or better, 1985? The latter seems unlikely ...

It would make a bad Ender's Game The Movie theme song.

Better would be Ash Can Painter's song "Ender":

http://www.philoticweb.net/fans/music.phtml?1

quote:
Ender's waiting at the bus stop
He left the school just after five
His bloodied hands still held the memory
Of one last schoolyard fight
World leaders watching from a distance
Hoping that this third time's the charm
What's the point in games of buggery
If the weapon's never armed

What's the use in going home
If Ender goes alone.
What's the use in going home
If Ender goes alone.

Ender's walking through the station
Always wondering about the time
As he's mastering the war games
Another birthday flutters by

Old men sit nervous at the viewscreens
All awaiting the command
A tiny twelve year old who doesn't know
The power in his hand

Ender does just what they say
Ender does just what they say
He's getting better every day
He's getting better every day
Ender doesn't want to play
He doesn't want to play
He doesn't want to play

But still they fill his mind with
Playground fights and weaponry,
Counterstrikes and strategy
It's bleeding into apathy
They won't let him go and so he

Takes his losses, turns them round
And burns their cities to the ground
And never speaks his heart aloud again

It's not the world he used to know,
But Ender's going home
It's not the world he used to know,
But Ender's going home

Better still would be Finch's "Ender".

Here I am beside myself again.
I'm torn apart by words that you have said.
And all in all,
I know we're falling apart.
Where did you run to so far away?
Here we are to sing you a song.
There you are asleep against the window pane
just like always.
You said you like to hear the rain sometimes.
And all I can do is tell you the truth.
And oh, my eyes will tell you the same.
Here we are to sing you a song.
There you are asleep again.
Grasp our hands together,
we feel we are one result.
And here we are to sing you a song.
And there you are asleep again...

Ok so it doesn't really work. But it's cool goshdarnit. Dashboard rocks my socks by the way.

On second thought, it could make a little sense from Val to Ender.

Dashboard played a concert at my college last year. With Reel Big Fish. It was the strangest combination ever.

Kind of reminds me of Ender's relationship with the Ribiera family (especially Novinha)
describing Ender's giving nature

i always imagined ender's game being with mostly instrumental music.
just because, if you think of it, the kids ont he ship were pretty much cut off from civilization. no outside contact except when the powers that be deemed it necessary. So, even if we could have imagined what the music would be like on that distant earth, chances are good all any of those children would have would be distant memories of music from their childhood. I wonder if Graff would consider popular music to be conducive to war... Heh, i bet they played a lot of edited toby keith and NO ccr if that were the case.
as to the family on earth, maybe then you would hear some music with words, but i find that intense movies do better(for the most part) with instrumental music.
all i know is if they use that song from the carmina burana that every intense, even remotely action related movie, uses...I'll have to scream.
and wouldn't that be nice for the audience?
**laughs**

Ha, I just got an image of a bunch of kids in the battleroom flying over the top of a star while the opening notes to "Fortunate Son" played. Some kind of battleroom/cliched vietnam movie hybrid scene.

Actually, the song does somewhat have to do with Ender's Game, from an interview with Chris Carrabba:

quote:
I have to ask about the one song, "Ender Will Save Us All," though...is that from the book Ender`s Game?

Yes! That`s where the title is from.

When I got the CD I went right to that track but I didn`t see anything in the song about that.

Okay, here`s how that came about. First of all, my middle name is Ender, so when I saw the book I was like "Wait a minute!" And I got way into that book and I shared it with a friend, and then that song was actually a Vacant Andy`s song just called "Ender," and it was written out of the fact that the friend and I kinda shared that book together and got a lot out of it, and we read the whole series of four together. Then we sorta had a falling out as friends, and talking about the book again brought us back to being friends again. So I had written the song when we weren`t getting along so well. And I wanted to be able to get along with that person again, and I didn`t have a title, but then after we started getting along again we started talking about the book again and I was like "let`s just call this Ender." But it was a Vacant Andy`s song and it was a rock song and it was a HEAVY song. And so when I re-recorded it, I just called it "Ender Will Save Us All." It had a way of saving our friendship.
