Yeah, I know there are a thousand vids out there with this song in it but I really don't care. I really wanted to make a vid right after I got the Death Note movies. This is a simple tribute to our hero, L. The first verse is just L looking back on the past year of his life right before he dies. The second verse is about L and Light and how even though L knew him as Kira, he also saw him as a friend *weird huh?* And the last chorus is L's last days alive. Sorry if the effects look overused or too much. And I repeated a few clips because they were my favorites. haha Song: I'll Be Waiting (theme song for L: change the worLd) Artist: Lenny Kravitz Fandom: Death Note Clips: Death Note: live action, Death Note: The Last Name, and L: Change the WorLd trailers I don't own Lenny Kravitz or Death Note. I only own the video I created with their clips and thank the companies for allowing Death Note and I'll Be Waiting to be released.
