Hello, everybody

Brass Rock here!
Our music circle held a new recording session at last December.
This song was written for the session.
I would like to introduce you two versions of the same song, which are the RealTrack version and the live band version with the same score.
Comments encouraged.
Have at it.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Summary of lyrics

I knew the deep sorrow when I saw your pretend smile
My heart was shaken passionately by pleasure but it was very momentary

I loved you so much that I was calling out your name while I was not aware of it
I was merely living only for you

Please don’t go away, stay by my side
Please don’t blow out your fire of love, don’t take my small wish away from me

My hands madly demand your hands
Now I love you much stronger than before

When I spend with gloomy feeling every day
Time passes in vain and the sorrow increases

I can’t set me free from your face forever
Memories with you still suffer me today

Holding the lost love burnt out, hanging my head weakly
I will love you eternally though I know you will never come back to me

Shigeki,

Very dramatic -I loved the composition and arrangement.
For me the live version has a presence in the vocal performance and that wonderful brass that just edges out the RT version.
Your group can be proud of this - excellent work!

Hello, Dani, Rob & Anne-Marie, Joe, floyd, Kenny, Peter. Robert, Trevor, Scott and Will

Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I much appreciate your kind comments and your continuous supports.
I am very happy you all like this tune.
Our music circle holds the recording session two times a year mainly in order to maintain the ability of arrangement.
Takeshi Tamada, the vocalist of live version is also a good writer and one of the few male vocalists in our circle.

Thank you again to all.
I also would like to post songs of another genre.
Best regards.

Absolutely!!!

Thanks for the opportunity to compare the versions. I could only listen to about 50% of the live version and SC would quit and never finish reloading. I tried several times. Will check again later.

Great listen!

Shigeki,
A great melody, and excellent vocals! I also preferred the second live version - brass sounded more powerful and dramatic. I preferred the EQ on the vocals in the second version also. A great song!
