Hello, forum friends

Noel made a very interesting project.
http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=476589#Post476589

The lyrics that he wrote is really beautiful and sorrowful.
I was greatly inspired by them.
So,I tried putting music on them immediately.
I used 2 RealTracks Styles together, and with no additional instruments.
I and my friends are not good at singing in English, so I used English Vocaloid for the vocal track.
Any comments encouraged.
Always welcome.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

DECIDUOUS LOVE
(Noel Adams – Shigeki Adachi)

Lost and lonely autumn leaves
My only friends tonight
We're tumbling headlong down a road going nowhere
Forgetting once we had a happy life

All alone, where cold winds blow
Don't we deserve a home?

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Leaves when summer is done

I remember back in springtime
The new beginnings were good
Then summer shone and love grew strong as days got longer
I was invincible and self-assured

But seasons changed, blue turned grey
Then came autumn's blade

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Leaves when summer is done

Maybe one day
I'm hoping one day
Summer will never go away

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Leaves when summer is done
Always needing summer sun

Shigeki,

This is extremely beautiful and fragile... I love what you have done with Noel's lyrics.

Excellent job.

Bob

Shigeki Adachi.

This is outstanding!

Your melody is a PERFECT match for Noel's lyric.
You really "brought it alive".

I am extremely impressed at your ability to get the lyric rhythm and cadence so appropriate, so engaging. That is strong song-sense - not to mention good use of English in a lyric.

The vocaloid is amazing. The phrasing is "human-like". Impressive.

This sounds like a classic song - like it has been around for many years...like "Autumn Leaves" or "When I was Seventeen". Truly impressive.

An amazing combination of RealTracks! Excellent mix.

I am blown away by how very talented you are.

Noel's lyric and your melody and arrangement/production have combined to create magic.

Hi Shigeki,

You have done a wonderful job with this. Congratulations! Very fragile and elegant as everyone has stated.

Well, it looks like we are the only contenders so far. I wonder if anyone else will pony up??

Shigeki this is fabulous very well done

Whoa, I am completely blown away. I can definitely tell that you were inspired. It really shows. The lyrics Noel96 wrote go so well with everything you came up with! Really fantastic job!

"Noel's lyric and your melody and arrangement/production have combined to create magic."

That one sentence from floyd very much sums up this production.

This is a stunning example of what a collaboration between two talented artists and BiaB and vocaloid technology can create.

A showcase on the showcase forum.

The entire production has a timeless feel. Like an old friend.

Great!

J&B

Shigeki,
This is so right for Noel`s lyrics- you clearly were moved by them and have given us a treasure, showing once again that you are a craftsman in song.
It really does sound like a song we`ve heard and loved from way back.

Robert

Wow beautiful interpretation. That vocaloid just blows me away how good that was. Very cool

Shigeki, your composing skills are fantastic! Your skills and Noel's lyrics made one great song! Your vocaloid phrasing is getting better and better.

VERY, very cool.
Gorgeous lyrics wonderfully interpreted in melody.
A little editing of the vocal to remove those clicky and essy sounds would make this seamless.

Shigeki Adachi,

My first impression was....



I have never had any of my lyrics sound so classy and so elegant! Your composition is absolutely beautiful. You deserve every accolade that's coming your way.

I greatly admire what you have done. Truly, it is superb.

If I only had one word to use to describe what I am hearing right now, it would be "Outstanding!!!" I agree with floyd when he said, "I'm blown away by how very talented you are."

Out of curiosity, did you use Alanna in Vocaloid 4 editor? You've inspired me so much that I'm thinking of buying it for myself to play around with. I've always been a fan of what Yamaha can do with their technology.

All the best,
Noel

Real nice and very interesting to hear.

Nice !

Wow - the way you re-imagined this is incredible. It is so beautiful and so well executed. I can't get over how perfect this is - listening with head phones, the way all the instruments are panned is fantastic. The harp trickles back and forth and at this point too, I think you have mastered the vocaloid.

Not a thing I'd change here - you should be very proud of this. Thanks for sharing

Hello, floyd

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am always very encouraged by your nice words.

I much appreciate your compliments "I am extremely impressed at your ability to get the lyric rhythm and cadence so appropriate, so engaging. That is strong song-sense - not to mention good use of English in a lyric."

The third line of Noel's lyrics certainly is considerably longer than other lines, so it was a hard time to hit the melody there.

And I am also glad you like the vocal of Avanna, English vocaloid.

Best regards.

I thank a lot to Noel's lyrics for the birth of this song.

English vocaloids are very human-like compared to Japanese vocaloids.
Alanna's vocal is also very natural. So, the adjustment was easier.
I am always very encouraged by your nice words.

This song is a folk song style, but the chord progression is commonly used in American standard songs.
Maybe that is the reason it sound like a song you have heard and loved from way back.
I put the music sheet of this song at the link below. If you are interested, please have a look.

I much appreciate your compliments "Gorgeous lyrics wonderfully interpreted in melody."
I am really glad you like this tune.
After I carefully listened to this mix, certainly t and s sound clicky and essy. I will try to insert DeEsser into the vocal track once.
Thank you for your precious opinion.

Your lyrics are really beautiful and fragile.

I thank a lot to your lyrics for the birth of this song.

I use Avanna (Vocalic 3) in "Vocaloid 4 editor for Cubase" instead of "Vocaloid 4 editor".
In Cubase, Vocaloid 4 editor for Cubase can be used as a VST instrument plug-in, and all edits in Cubase are reflected in Vocaloid 4 editor directly.
I strongly recommend Vocaloid 4 editor for Cubase.
If you buy Vocaloid 4 editor for Cubase, Cubase AI, a simplified version of Cubase, can be obtained for free.
Even the simplified version can use all the owned VST plugins.
As Editing vocaloid track and other tracks can be done at the same time, the production process is very smooth.

Thank you again for you comment.
I am very happy to have a nice collaboration with you.

All the best,
Shigeki Adachi

Wow!! Awesome collaboration!! Masterful blending of Noel’s haunting lyric with a wonderful musical treatment. So challenging to work with a sophisticated key word like “deciduous”, on both fronts—lyrically and melodically. The result is quite beautiful. The use of the dual style is very imaginative, getting exactly the right feel across. I will be listening to this again to see what I can learn from these two masters!!

Hi Shigeki & Noel,

This is very pretty and subtly powerful. The two of you created a fabulous piece of music. Congrats on a job very well done!

Alan

+1! My sentiments exactly!

Animaro,

Well, if Noel was laying out some challenge to any and all, you can pretty much drop the mic. You killed this. I have no idea how folks come up with a melody to someone else’s lyric, yet alone make it sound as beautiful as this. This deserves a ton of listens; it’s so, so well done!

My humble regards,

Deej

Hello, Tom

You're right. When reading Noel's lyrics, the melody of "deciduous love" first came up.

Hello, Deej

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.

I am really glad you like this tune.
I think that experiences in writing songs to some extent are necessary to put music on the lyrics written by others.
I have been writing songs since junior high school, but it has been about these10 years since I myself can write songs after lyrics.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

GREAT!

And top notch programming of the vocaloid!
