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.see noteDIABLO
One night while recovering from his injuries, Vash sat under the stars and began quietly singing "Sound Life" to himself. Meryl began singing along with as she walked over to join him. Surprised, Vash stopped singing and Meryl continued singing the verse before sitting beside him.LIVE THROUGH
