Hello, forum friends Sometimes I would like to make a sad song with French Chanson feel and I tried to make it. Any comments encouraged. Always welcome. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Title: この次の恋 (Translation: My Next Love) Vocal: Yoko K., my friend Link: https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/my-next-loveStyle is _BALFRED.STY RealTracks in style: ~481:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Ballad Sw 085 RealTracks in style: ~487:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 085 RealTracks in style: ~555:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Freddie Sw 085 RealDrums in Style: JazzBrushesSticks#1: a: JazzBrushesSticks#1b: JazzBrushesSticks#1 Additional Accordion played with Ethnophere Additional 4 part Strings played with EastWest symphonic orchestra, Additional Elec. Guitar played by Yamaha teacher Scored by me Summary of lyrics: I already know The ending of my next love It will not be able to pass next summer And it will be losing its brightness and will be decaying I'm sure it will be the same as today While holding an empty heart I will be wandering about aimlessly in the city And I will be standing in this place. Why do people fall in love? Though they know that sadness will come soon Their pleasure will not last long There can be no eternal love But love is always marvelous It starts with a little chest pain And we notice suddenly It ’s almost like a happy dream and time goes by No one can choose well Where love goes by himself Even if the next love comes true I don't want to suffer anymore But one day, just like today While holding an empty heart I will be wandering about aimlessly in the city I can see the image of my next love clearly I truly understand

Shigeki and Yoko, you definitely captured what you set out to deliver.
This is beautiful in every way.
Musically, lyrically, and vocally perfect. The beautiful French feel has been delivered, without question.
A quality production from every angle. Well done.

REALLY cool melody and arrangement.
Excellent singing and playing.
The strings, when louder, seem to live outside the song.
Cheers

Shigeki, that is absolutely lovely.
Yoko's vocal, the arrangement, the instrumentation and the
mix are outstanding.
You definitely met your objective and have much
enjoyed listening to it.

Shigeki Adachi,
This is beautiful.
Yoko's vocal is very expressive.
The backing tracks are well constructed. The strings sound good. The accordion is a good choice.
A very enjoyable listen.

I like wistful songs and this is no exception  Reminds me of melancholy Asian movies and for some strange reason, music of Norah Jones. Beautiful vocals and enjoyable warm arrangement, the accordion gives nice mood. The chord progression shows clearly your professional skills in composing. Janne

Shigeki,
Yoko is such a talented vocalist- she captures the melancholy mood beautifully...and you have written a lovely melody here.
Your arrangement is, as always, very professional and serves the song well.
I don`t know Enthnophere but the accordion is convincing.

Everything sounds super to me! Good work with the strings, and the accordion works really well. Yoko's got an excellent voice, and really carries the song.

Shigeki Adachi, your orchestration skills are second to none. Excellent work here.
Yoko is an excellent singer with fantastic vocal control.
This is one lush beautiful song. You both should be very proud of this one.

Hi Shigeki ...
You have composed such a beautiful song. You are such a fabulous arranger! Lovely melody, track selection and mixing!
And I always love to hear Yoko sing ... she is so talented!
This was beautiful in every way and you fully succeeded in accomplishing your goal. I felt as though I were sitting at the Moulin Rouge listening to your orchestra perform and Yoko singing it so beautifully. Just a note: I lived in Europe almost 12 years and have been to the Moulin Rouge twice ... this song would fit in perfectly!).
Wishing you and Yoko everything good ...
Alan

Soft, gentle, & lovely...
I enjoyed listening very much...
Yoko's voice reminded me of Olivia Newton-John...
Very pleasing to the ears!

rayc,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune, the arrangement and the performers.
Certainly, I'm always confused about the volume balance between the main melody and obligato melodies.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.
