Like Schubert.
The key changes in the chorus are particularly beautiful.
I can feel the influence of classical music there, too.
The lyrics, which look straight into the future, are very moving.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hello Shigeki Adachi.

It's really good to see you. Thank you for visiting the thread and taking time to have a listen.

I appreciate your comments about Schubert and classical music. That's definitely not due to me, though. Jean-Paul-Égide Martini who composed "Plasir D'Amour" back in the 1700s is entirely responsible for the overall harmonic ambience of the arrangement smile As I have no doubt you would have already noted, I did use first inversion chords in a number of places – especially the perfect cadences where I used the progression I—I6—ii6—V7—I. In a couple of places, I also used the classical perfect cadence variation of ii6—I6/4—V7—I progression. Maybe these things helped add to Martini's classical feel.

It is always a delight to hear from you. Thank you again! smile
