8.5/10 The World, from the most boring anime I've ever seen, .hack//Sign (I only watched it because of the Yuki Kajiura music!) was originally sung by the great Emily Bindiger, like most of the .hack//Sign songs. I really love the mysterious mood of this song, and especially the beautiful violin parts. In the live concert, Keiko performs the beginning of the song, and surprisingly she has quite the deep voice, but it's nice nonetheless. I don't know why, but she kind of creeps me out. She's really pretty but throughout the whole concert, she has this really weird psychopathic look in her eyes... (or is it just me??) Anyway, the multi-layered vocals sound really amazing in this song and I love the arrangements that Yuki Kajiura with it.
Here's the original version with Emiliy Bindiger:


For the lyrics of the song,

You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely

The fields are filled with desires
All voices crying for freedom
But all in vain they will fade away
There's only you to answer you, forever

In blinded mind you are singing
A glorious hallelujah
The distant flutter of angels
They're all too far, too far to reach for you

I am here alone again
In my sweet serenity
Hoping you will ever find me in any place
I will call it solitude when all my songs fade in vain
In my voice, far away to eternity
