  • Our first rehearsal of "The Days When My Mother Was There" (Futaba's Palace music) from Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 5, composed by Shoji Meguro, and this version arranged by Khrys Williams.
    We all can relate to Futaba in some way. However, if you can relate to her story in a more personal way, we dedicate this version to you. In addition to our very special guest, Ben Eunson on guitar, we also have a Futaba-perspective rap verse written by Khrys Williams.
    Okay, staying inside and playing video games/browsing the internet all day is fun, but... take a break, ya know? Go outside, get some air, hang out with friends... check out J-MUSIC Persona 5 covers... proceed to re-enter the eternal cyberloop... Man, that sure is a big desert...
    ==============================
    We hit it once again with this session! Although this one was a bit shorter, our 3rd Persona 5 session really brings some different feels as we explore some of the more emotional sides of this game's music. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of face-smashing solos and drum fills for you to indulge on. We love seeing your comments and suggestions! As always, thank you, everybody! :D

    Khrys's Verse (as Futaba):
    I was a kid
    With no cares for what you went through during your bid
    In the books; I know emotions spilled over the lid
    And I wish I could take back all of the things that I did
    All of the times I grew tired of being inside
    All of the times I wanted more than what my mom could provide
    If it meant that all the guilt and the pain wouldn't be harvested
    I swear I'd take it back to whenever it all started, then
    I'd stomach all the boredom I felt
    And understand you had to take a lot of time for yourself
    I'd promise I'd wait...make an effort to end my issues
    Knowing that later on I'd get to spend time with you
    Cuz now the only flashback in my head
    Is the men in suits yelling "You're the reason she's dead"
    And at the same time, I'm counting the days that I'm going to
    Keep myself inside this room til I can join you
    Away from everybody else
    So I won't be the reason behind every single time they threw a fit
    And people might forget I exist,
    But when it comes to their life, at least they can't say I ruined it
    It's not that I'm not able to stay calm
    I just have nothing left from only wanting my mom
    And if I joined you, would you see me as a nuisance?
    Do I really have no room for improvement?
    If both of us go where there's no ground beneath her
    Does it mean that I'm no use in death either?
    Is that how it's supposed to be where ever I arrive?
    And would it be the same if my mom was alive
    After her work? All I know is nothing compares
    To the days when my mother was there
    It's all my fault...
    I miss the days when my mother was there

      I lost my dad last year, i was the last one to be with him and to see him alive, until this day I still feel the guilt to not being to do more for him, to not be with him, and in a way I was responsible from his departure. I first find this version in the live vid from the con, and as I heard the lyrics of the rap verse, they hit hard for me, and helped me to deal in a way whit that grief. Thanks a lot guys.

The only thing i can say is.....thank you, this what i just said might be pointless or irrelevant but i wanna thank you J-Music ensemble, for reminding me the days my mother was there and that she still is. ❤

    I LOVE the improv the guitarist does. Goes so well with the somewhat empty space in the song. And it's beautiful to make words to this piece because the original instrumental perfectly encapsulates Futaba's nostalgia when her mother WAS still alive and the break with the rap; I think resembles the moment things started going wrong. And it's really nice. Also that sax and guitar arpeggios are beautiful.
