Happy new year, everybody

It is already a New Year 's afternoon in Japan . I have done a New Year 's visit to the main shrine of my town and prayed a little while ago.
First of all, I would like to say thank you to those who have taken the time to listen and/or give feedback to my creations last year.
This is my first post of this year. Hard Rock Waltz!
Now I would like to introduce it to you.
Comments encouraged.
Have at it.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Summary of lyrics

In a small town under the sky over there
My dear, you are living, I want to go see you

The city where you live is beyond that rainbow
My love, I want to fly to you soaring high in the sky

Fly! fly! my small plane
Soar high in the sky
Go like a flapping bird
Go and fly with my loving

Down this river, across that bridge
I am flying away until your town, I’ll reach you soon

If you screw up your eyes, you will see it soon
If the white wings glow, that's me

Fly! fly! my small plane
Soar high in the sky
Go like a flapping bird
Go and fly with my loving

Fly! fly! my small plane
Soar high in the sky
Go like a flapping bird
Go and fly with love and dreams

Waltzes are always cool! They seem to be rare on the forum.

Although this is something a bit different from you it works really good.

It's well produced (sounds great on our monitors) and we enjoyed it.

Nice playing, singing and song writing!

Shigeki,

Though this is new territory from your other postings (a waltz with an edge!) there`s still a romantic feeling that`s common to your other songs.
I enjoyed your vocal and the production works very well -I especially liked the dramatic percussion at the end.
Looking forward to where your music will take us in 2017.

Shigeki,

Wow ... we loved it! Very nice song and your vocal delivery is quite good. We love Rock Waltzes. Few people do them well, but you did an excellent job! Excellent! Happy New Year!

Alan & Di

PS: Love the key modulation ... that always refreshes a song - gives it new life. Nice!

Very nice Shigeki!! I agree with Floyd-like your vocal. This is quite different for you but the thing that really shines is the melody, always a strong point for you. Enjoyed all your posts this year!! Keep 'em coming! Happy New Year! Take care. Greg

Shigeki,

It is definitely cool to hear you sing!
We love this waltz, although it sounds more like a rock ballad to us.
Beautiful chord progression and very fine instrumentation indeed, this definitely is a keeper!
