Hello, forum friends

This tune is a remake version of my live recorded song about 10 years ago.
This time I used RealTracks to post it on this forum.
Fortunately the independent vocal track was left, so I diverted it unchanged to this version.
There are genres of songs that old lover comes back home in chanson and tango, learning from them I also wrote a song that my old lover came back to me one day.
Any comments encouraged.
Always welcome.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Title: 老いらく(Translation: Golden Years)

Summary of lyrics:

When I noticed you, you had already come close to me
You stand there with your head hanging

And you look as if you might cry at any moment
I feel deeply stressed in your pathetic appearance

And my heart is violently disturbed
When I unintentionally hug your trembling body

I wonder why I feel you are so dearly still now
Though I forgot that I had loved you in my deep memory
Though over many years had passed since then

Someone must be hiding behind the tree and watching over us
I feel an intense gaze from time to time

I guess he is the one who you eloped away with at that time
Perhaps he has come here to find you

You always behave arbitrarily with your occasional mood
You have not changed from the past

It is so sad that I already know
You will be leaving me again tomorrow

Beautiful! I loved this, your arrangement/orchestration combined the jazz combo with lush strings--it was great! THe sentiment of the lyric fits so well with the chanson style, and your vocal was well done. I certainly would like to hear more of your talented work. Thank you for posting this!

Wow - this stunning smile It sounds so lush and powerful. As Tano said - the combination of the orchestral arrangements over the jazz groove works incredibly well. The whole tune flows so effortlessly. Also, the vocal performance is here the cherry on top. They did an amazing job.

Great work - thanks so much for sharing!

Such a lovely arrangement! And your vocals are so lovely. That's really cool that you incorporated dance and missed love together in to one song. Awesome job.

Shigeki,

This is great! I really enjoyed hearing you sing on this one!

You should do it more often. You sound like Frank Sinatra singing in Japanese.

I also loved the photo of you at the mic. Wonderful song!

Shigeki,

Lovely music! I really enjoyed your vocal on this- the emotion of the song comes through.
Your production and as usual those EastWest strings are up to your very high standard.

Nicely done - especially the strings! Good use of stereo as well - enough to notice, but not too much to be distracting.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
