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? Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :
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.

The lead singer middle name is Ender, thats why. lol
Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :
That doesn't make any sense.
Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :
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

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.
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
Chad Carrier - drums, keyboards Brad Cooper - vocals Ron Davis - bass guitar Chris Hough - lead guitar, backing vocals Matt Litton - rhythm guitar, backing vocals
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.
