Hello, everybody

This song was written for the session.

Comments encouraged.
Have at it.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Summary of lyrics

I knew the deep sorrow when I saw your pretend smile
My heart was shaken passionately by pleasure but it was very momentary

I loved you so much that I was calling out your name while I was not aware of it
I was merely living only for you

Please don’t go away, stay by my side
Please don’t blow out your fire of love, don’t take my small wish away from me

My hands madly demand your hands
Now I love you much stronger than before

When I spend with gloomy feeling every day
Time passes in vain and the sorrow increases

I can’t set me free from your face forever
Memories with you still suffer me today

Holding the lost love burnt out, hanging my head weakly
I will love you eternally though I know you will never come back to me

Shigeki,

Very dramatic -I loved the composition and arrangement.
For me the live version has a presence in the vocal performance and that wonderful brass that just edges out the RT version.
Your group can be proud of this - excellent work!

Hello, Dani, Rob & Anne-Marie, Joe, floyd, Kenny, Peter. Robert, Trevor, Scott and Will

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I much appreciate your kind comments and your continuous supports.
I am very happy you all like this tune.
Our music circle holds the recording session two times a year mainly in order to maintain the ability of arrangement.
Takeshi Tamada, the vocalist of live version is also a good writer and one of the few male vocalists in our circle.

Thank you again to all.
I also would like to post songs of another genre.
Best regards.

Absolutely!!!

Thanks for the opportunity to compare the versions. I could only listen to about 50% of the live version and SC would quit and never finish reloading. I tried several times. Will check again later.

Great listen!

Shigeki,
A great melody, and excellent vocals! I also preferred the second live version - brass sounded more powerful and dramatic. I preferred the EQ on the vocals in the second version also. A great song!

Hi Shigeki Adachi,

I love the harpsichord opening. You really grabbed my attention with that. It's not a sound that's heard all that much these days. As soon as I heard it, I found myself wondering if perhaps this was going to be in the French chanson style. I definitely got that guess wrong!

Firstly, please pass on my compliments to the singer. He does such a great job.

You've really done a spectacular job with creating and arranging this work. Everything about it is as professional as anything I've ever heard. Your arranging skills are first class. This must have taken quite a while to put together.

In a word.... brilliant!

All the best,
Noel

Hello, rharv, John and Noel

Much appreciate your kind words.

Noel,
Many thanks for your compliments to the vocalist of live version.
He is also a good writer and a very good vocalist in our circle.
And as you said, this melody has a lot of French chanson feeling.
The brass arrangement was a little bit adventure for me.

Thank you again to all.
Best regards.
