You have provided an interesting contrast between the oriental style introduction, and the bluesy feel of the song. I did enjoy the laid back feel.

Hey Quekou,

Great track. I really dig the vibe of this song. To me, it seems like a really good mix of modern and old. The blues guitar with the jazz piano is a wonderful contrast.

They lyrics were really clever, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks for sharing!

Wow very cool. Caught me off guard when the vocals came in!

Your lyrics were so moving! I really appreciate that you included them in the video for us. You have a really lovely mix here, and I'm glad you shared this with us.

Thanks for your kind words.

Thank you guys for your kind replies. I wrote the lyrics in Chinese and the English is pretty much a direct translation. Hopefully it makes sense.

thanks for listening.

Haunting.Very impressive. Great write. Thanks for listing. Rob

The translation made perfect sense. The song is beautiful and very well performed.

Tony

Thanks, Tony. I was wondering if the translation all made sense as sometimes I find when two languages are very different, direct translation might sound strange to the other. Thanks for the confirmation. Cheers.

Just loved this track. Very cool how you slid the tradional blues jazz instruments in with the tradional instruments. Excellent vocal as well...

Thanks Scott for your kind words. Cheers.

Hi Quekou,

Very beautiful with great use of the resophonic.
The vocal somehow caught me by surprise also.
All very good.

Cheers.

Quekou..really liked how you phased the various instruments in/out of your arrangement, and the use of the traditional instrument samples. Loved your voice (I think you could bring it a bit more forward in the mix).

Is it possible for you to post your original Chinese vocal? I'd love to hear it in its native language!

Thanks.

Nice work on this one, quekou! I loved the slow progression in this tune. It is so gentle, and seems to build so effortlessly. Also, the way you incorporated that bluesy feel with traditional Chinese instruments was very interesting! It really gave it an interesting dynamic.

Really well done - thanks for sharing

Excellent blend of style and instruments top notch production!!

Thank you for listening and your kind words.

Thank you very much for your comments. The vocal is not my voice. it was synthesized using a singing synthesizer software called Vocaloid. There is not Chinese vocal recorded though I do have a plan to do that in the future using my own voice.

Thank you folks for listening.

Hello, Quekou

Really creative!
The instrumentation is very nice.
The melody that reminds me of "Summertime" is also nice.
The vocal (maybe Vocaloid?) fits this tune very well and it is really comfortable.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Really interesting combination of jazz and blues That guitar playing almost alone is really effective. Great lyrics also.

Janne

Hi Shigeki, thank you for listening to my music. Yes, the vocal is synthesized with Vocaloid. Have a great day.

Thank you for your encouragement on the lyrics. Englis is not my native tongue and I was a bit worried the process of converting my original lyrics in Chinese to English would introduce confusions into the connotation of the song.
