History
"Sound Life" was Rem's favorite song and she often sang it. Knives commented that she must like that song, said that it popped into her head whenever she felt happy. Knives replied that he thought it was a nice song.REM SAVEREM
Whilst unconscious aboard the sandsteamer Flourish, Vash dreamed about Rem, she was singing "Sound Life."B. D. N.After the Flourish was stopped from falling of Enora Cliff, Kaite and Vash went atop the sandsteamer to watch the sunrise. Kaite began singing "Sound Life," which surprised Vash. Kaite became defensive, thinking that Vash was mocking him, saying it was an old song but that it was good and he liked it. Vash agreed that it was a good song, and Kaite continued singing. Vash thought of how Rem loved the song and began to cry. Kaite stopped singing and yelled at Vash for making fun of him.AND BETWEEN THE WASTELAND AND SKY...
When Vash was moments away from killing Monev, he suddenly thought of Rem and her singing "Sound Life" as he pulled his gun back while weeping.[note 1]DIABLO
One night while recovering from his injuries, Vash sat under the stars and began quietly singing "Sound Life" to himself. Meryl began singing along as she walked over to join him. Surprised, Vash stopped singing and Meryl continued singing the verse before sitting beside him.LIVE THROUGH

So | 1つ目の夜に | いずこから小石が世界に落ちる |
2つ目の夜に | 小石の子が手を取りワルツを描く | |
3つ目の夜に | ワルツの子は世界面にウエーブを打つ | |
4つ目の夜に | 波の子は岸辺にしぶきを上げる | |
5つ目の夜に | そのかけら幾度も世界面をたたく | |
6つ目の夜に、 | その合図に旅人は集い合う | |
7つ目の夜に | 重さのない船は空間[note 2]へと走る | |
8つ目の朝に | いずこからの歌が耳へと届く | |
さあ 新しい空に全てを記した組曲が響く |

Translation[note 3]
So | on the first evening | a pebble from somewhere falls upon the world. |
on the second evening | the children of the pebble join hands and compose a waltz. | |
on the third evening | the children of the waltz make waves upon the world. | |
on the fourth evening | the children of the waves spray upon the shore. | |
on the fifth evening | the pieces hit the world again and again. | |
on the sixth evening | the signal meets some travelers. | |
on the seventh evening | weightless ships travel to the heavens. | |
on the eight morning | a song from somewhere reaches my ears. | |
Now in a new sky, a suite that describes everything can be heard. |
