Not sure how to translate the title. The word (偏执） in Chinese is stronger than "stubborn" but less than " paranoid".
The guitar track is generated from realtrack ~1637 JazzFunkBreezyChords. I programmed everything else in the song.
Chinese Vocaloid is behind the vocal track.
偏执 (paranoid) 词曲编混：缺口 人声: 言和 Sorry folks the translation is very rough.
独自呆在冷冷的地下室 Staying in the cold basement by myself 想了下没退下的戒指 Thought of the ring that hasn't been take off 还有那似懂非懂的孩子 also the children who don't quite grasp 还有这个将成历史的地址 and the address that's going to be history soon
还是，还是不懂这解释 still, still don't understand the explantions 以为，仍以为就是一辈子 Still, still think that it should have been for life 明知， 明知不该想却偏固执 I knew I shouldn't be thinking this way but i am paronoid 埋怨， 埋怨自己还不懂控制 I hate it that I still lack the self- control
空虚摇晃着意志 void's shaking my mind 酒精麻醉着理智 alcohol’s numbing my senses 时间緩解著傷勢 time is mitigating the pain 抹不掉往昔旧事 but unable to erase the past
Wow - this is so smooth, so luscious, and so velvety. Straight ear candy right here! The backing music sounds almost like something Justin Timberlake would've used in the early 00's. As usual with you too - the vocaloid is stunning here. The way you harmonized the vocals is great.
You did some awesome work here - thanks for sharing
It does have a Sade feel - the jazz chords and gentle vocal with a beat. Excellent vocaloid work. Could you explain how you do it? I've only seen/heard the Miku pedal so am unsure if it's a midi manipulation or something else. The sounds belong in a darkened room, a good stereo and, probably, a single malt whisky.

I used a vocal synthesizer program called Vocaloid by Yamaha. It's a standalone Windows software. Basically in simplest term, you type in the words you want the program to synthesize on a piano roll style environment and the program will sing for you using the loaded voice bank. Of course to get more realistic results, there are quite a few parameters that you need to adjust and tweak. it's a neat program for us non-singers.
Inorganic and dry beats are cool and pleasant. Your originality is fully demonstrated. 言和(YAN HE), Chinese vocaloid has a very unique character. It surely should be a female vocaloid, but it sounds like a man's voice. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Could you explain how you do it? I've only seen/heard the Miku pedal so am unsure if it's a midi manipulation or something else.
I've got a couple of Vocaloids, so I can give a brief explanation.
The Miku guitar pedal has some of the sounds of that Vocaloid character, but isn't really representative of the program.
You can buy Vocaloid voice libraries, but to get them to sing, you have to use a graphical editor. The file format is a proprietary superset of MIDI.
The editor that works much like the "piano roll" editor in other programs. In BiaB, for example, go to Window ⏵ Piano Roll ⏵ Piano Roll Window to see the piano roll editor. The x axis represents time, while the y axis is pitch. You can just click and drag to draw a note.
Each green "bar" represents a single syllable. You can either enter syllables phonetically, or enter words, and have Vocaloid automatically convert them into phonetic syllables.
On the bottom section, you can see that various parameters (dynamics, breathiess, clarity, gender) can be dynamically modified.
In case you weren't aware, BiaB supports vocal synthesis using the free online Sinsy program.

Thanks David, I'm here to learn - BIAB manipulation as well as mixing tracking, automation - the works - except mastering as I know I haven't the ears for mastering so I get that done. The rest I'm more than happy to learn about & look for opportunities to fold new knowledge with old. I erred on the side of "sharing" views and ideas - that's my background on forums and in life. I suppose I've learnt a lesson - thank you for putting it in context and perspective. I still reckon an intermediate section of the forum would be cool - a place to ask, offer and "share".

Just noticed that I actually made a mistake here. THe vocaloid is not 言和， it's 心華。 It's a female Vocaloid and I adjusted the gender parameter so it sounds more mature than like a teen. Thanks for listening to my music.
