Philosophical Questioning

I recently dragged a friend of mine into watching D. Gray-Man and now she is one of us. o(^-^ )o She brought up a few interesting things I'd never considered before.

Possible Spoilers: Mana, 14th Noah, current end of anime series (Pretty much you should be entirely up to date before entering this conversation otherwise you risk being spoiled)

Who is singing during the Musician's Melody (anime version)? Allen even begins singing along for a little while. If you understood the lyrics, they hold clues within them. The most interesting part of those lyrics talks about silver eyes, something prominent about Allen. At one point the singer is praying "show this child what love is. Give a kiss to his hands you hold." At least, that's what the translation I got a hold of had said. Anyone have any ideas?

My personal idea is perhaps it's something Allen's mom originally had made and she was the one singing, though it'd be weird for him to remember her voice.. Unless it was the fourteenth's memories.

My friend seems to have had the impression that perhaps the fourteenth was a girl. Though I have yet to find any text specifying the gender of the fourteenth (and I didn't look thoroughly), the fourteenth is shown wearing boy's clothes while holding Mana's hand. Hoshino is known to mislead people though, and she's not above cross dressing a character for surprise value.

Thanks for agreeing with me. Sadly I'm not that great in japanese grammar, so I'm glad you could explain it more detailed than me. I always thought watashi was a basically feminine form wich can also be used as a neutral form by men, while atashi was completely feminine. But if that's not right thanks for correcting me.

And yes, sometimes Hoshino can be really mean to us.
