It's not because I just finished watching four episodes of Wolf's Rain, but the opening theme will always have a profoundly lonely effect on me whenever I listen to it. Yoko Kanno is a brilliant artist.
"Stray...
No regrets 'cos I've got nothing to lose.
Always stray...
So I'm gonna live my life as I choose,
until I fall.
Stray, stray..."
