karakakyo - Happy Birthday

as the BGM that you are listening to right now.

You can get it from here as well:

George Michael (kakyo version) - Kissing a Fool

I've set up a rule to sing a song for myself on my birthday since two years ago.

Lyrics:

You are far,
When I could have been your star,
You listened to people,
Who scared you to death, and from my heart,
Strange that you were strong enough,
To even make a start,
But you'll never find
Peace of mind,
Till you listen to your heart,

People,
You can never change the way they feel,
Better let them do just what they will,
For they will,
If you let them,
Steal your heart from you,
People,
Will always make a lover feel a fool,
But you knew I loved you,
We could have shown them all,
We should have seen love through,

Fooled me with the tears in your eyes,
Covered me with kisses and lies,
So goodbye,
But please don't take my heart,

You are far,
I'm never gonna be your star,
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart,
Maybe I'll be strong enough,
I don't know where to start,
But I'll never find
Peace of mind,
While I listen to my heart,

People,
You can never change the way they feel,
Better let them do just what they will,
For they will,
If you let them,
Steal your heart,

And people,
Will always make a lover feel a fool,
But you knew I loved you,
We could have shown them all,

But remember this,
Every other kiss,
That you ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man,
One you really can surrender with,
I will wait for you,
Like I always do,
There's something there,
That can't compare with any other,

You are far,
When I could have been your star,
You listened to people,
Who scared you to death, and from my heart,
Strange that I was wrong enough,
To think you'd love me too.
I guess you were kissing a fool,
You must have been kissing a fool.

Long time no do. Today there was a sentimental vacancy for things like this.

The selected is the former BGM (2006): 小田和正"my home town"

Theoretically I'm supposed to be better in recording and mixing,

at least the dynamics and EQ should be better than before.

But still, it "sounds like shit" after the mix-down, not to mention

my popping, and sibilance. I didn't make heavy edits to correct these.

Anyways, I didn't look at the manuals while doing this, and just one take.

No solution to making the ambience of the vocal track and the vocal-cut

original performance compatible was found. So the vocal still sounds

separate from the instruments. About monitoring, although I've stopped using

any severely spectrally-colorized headphones. The truth is: the speakers are different

from headphones. I now see why J even creates shits when monitoring

with headphones.

2 years ago when I first came across this song, I told myself I'm definitely gonna do this one...after I pick up some Japanese.

I finally did it.

Gears:

Sennheiser HD25-1 II,

Creative SD-50 multimedia mic (condenser, omin-directional, 68dB, 50~13kHz)

The mic has been with me for the last 7 years and it still works!!

在此:

地狱少女ED (TV edit)

录得很随便,

伴奏直接从第8话尾声截取,

完全没消音,

算跟能登小姐合唱吧.

用了比较过分的reverb.

忍了很久了.
K的荞麦的一首, 两个mix版本,
分别在:
这里, 做了vocal-cut,

和这里, 没有vocal-cut

Lyrics:
You have been loved

She takes the back road and the lane
Past the school that has not changed
In all this time
She thinks of when the boy was young
All the battles she had won
Just to give him life

That man
She loved that man
For all his life
But now we meet to take him flowers
And only God knows why

For what's the use in pressing palms
When children fade in mother's arms
It's a cruel world
We've so much to lose
And what we have to learn we rarely choose

So if it's God who took her son
He cannot be the one living in her mind

Take care my love, she said
Don't think that God is dead
Take care my love, she said

You have been loved

If I was weak, forgive me
But I was terrified
You brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of love
The kind that makes devils cry

So these days
My life has changed
And I'll be fine
But she just sits and counts the hours
Searching for her crime

So what's the use of pressing palms
If you won't keep such love from harm
It's a cruel world
You've so much to prove
And heaven helps the ones who wait for you

No, I've no daughters, I've no sons
Guess I'm the only one
Living in my life

Take care my love, he said
Don't think that God is dead
Take care my love, he said

You have been loved

Comment:
喜欢的歌唱完总有种心力交瘁的感觉.

今天K的是Carpenter的, 正好礼拜一但没下雨.
送给自己的生日礼物, 估计那天没时间.

随意录的, 几个地方切割失真, 本底噪声也没处理好,
whatever.
Round!
27!
Fight!

Lyrics:
Rainy Days and Mondays
The Carpenters

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit, nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong, feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around, some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out,we know what it's all about
Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out, we know what it's all about
Hangin' around, nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down

mmd, 这两天效率狂低, so guilty...

不过就算是强身健体, 这点时间还是可以花的
以后不定期放到这里.

今天K的是blog的第一个BGM
Echobelly <To Get Me Through The Good Times>

Lyrics:
I keep an open invitation
To a world of isolation
It’s an old right

I found a home in hibernation
Lost the self in preservation
Built the walls high

I joke about the bad times
To get me through the good times
About all those long nights
I go wading through
Keep running down a one way
Giving all for a brand new day
But now i’m all out

Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to save

From a momentary glory
To a solitary story
It’s a short ride
Through the trials and tribulations
For the bane of reputation
It’s a long fight
But i’m done

I joke about the bad times
To get me through the good times
About all those long nights
I go wading through
Keep running down a one way
Giving all for a brand new day,
But now i’m all out

Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to save

No more ties

好了, 下个礼拜开始暴走.
