Komm, süsser Tod

Komm, süsser Tod (German: Come Now, Sweet Death) is the English-language song which plays during Third Impact when Instrumentality is initiated in The End of Evangelion. The song is performed by Arianne, backed by piano, pipe-organ and various string arrangements by Shiro Sagisu.

Notes

• Two versions exist: The "Director's Cut" used in Episode 26', and "KIDA", where the choir continues after the final chorus in broken, incoherent song.
• Reminiscent of The Beatles' "Hey Jude".
• There is also a remix of the song called "Tumbling Down Remix" which was made for Evangelion Vox. The singer is Loren of Loren and Mash, who also sang Thanatos~If I Can't Be Yours~, the End Credits song for Episode 25'. It's sung in a more cheerful manner, reminiscent of funk.
