    Lyrics: sonimiki.tumbl...
    You are as always free to use them! These are based off of Forgetfulsub's translation and will match up with the original as well.
    Request a song: symphonymermaid...

    Hi everyone, it's been a bit. I technically wasn't going to upload this April but I couldn't help myself. So I did an easy song to placate my need to sing.
    This is a LOT lower than the original and that's intentional, since singing so high with this arrange would be jarring... Yet the original is also impossibly high to sing. Well, so impossibly high to sing without sounding annoying, at least. It really takes an alien voice type to make that constant high pitched melody work, and since I felt that singing it down the octave with the original would take away the energy I decided to go for this calming arrange.
    Whether I upload or not next week depends on how buried I am in finals, so probably not. This is my last full of week of classes, so bear with me... It's been rough, haha.

    If anyone here doesn't know what Bossa Nova is, it's a Brazilian genre based on samba (another Brazilian genre) that started around the 50's and, as you can hear, is strongly influenced by jazz. It started amongst the middle class as a way of reinventing samba, but it got really popular and, as a result, ended up getting known around the whole country

    I'm really picky with English covers, just because not everyone can fit in all of the lyrics and still keep the flow of the song and stuff, y'know? And when I saw this I was a little worried because it's such a high and fast song at some points, but man, I'm glad I clicked this. It's sooooo beautiful and is probably one of my favorite covers of anything ever. Not that any random commenter's approval matters much, but you did a really nice job, and I'm not the kind of person to say that often! Your voice is beautiful and goes so nicely with this arrange. Just... yes. 💖

  • @konikai
    @konikai 7 лет назад +150

    The trembling streetlight,
    the pelting rain that falls with a crash
    Warmth excites an emotional telepath
    In the night, the lost two
    finally made contact
    My heart learned the
    human concept known as love
    T-T-T-Tight rope, a uniform of stitched creation
    It provoke a discommunication
    Glint of hope? No, actually just a flashing red
    Something's coming:
    I've got endless sense of dread
    Alien, yes I'm an Alien
    I've come in peace but lead your defenseless heart astray
    Within the melding gravity of the milky way
    Deeply I could sense those feeling
    Beating, leading
    Alien, that's right I'm your Alien
    your heart strings pulled and deftly lulled,
    I've caught a shooting star
    Here, have an un-experience so your heart
    Can blast off to another planet
    Thumping, pumping, loving
    Rays of dense radiance, on and off so simultaneous
    UFO, you don’t know, quietly the otherworldly eats at you so
    Intersect at point X, parallel farewell as the signals connect
    Falsely-made okayed disorder,
    Sight and drive concur
    Syndrome, in solitude, each night behind bars
    All alone, a daydream turns it to a grimoire
    Mystery drone, a bright light shone, avoid the radar
    “Do you truly want me to tell you everything?”
    Alien, yes I'm an Alien
    I've come in peace but lead your defenseless heart astray
    Staring into a pair of eyes gravity escaped,
    Today you’ll see what I am really…
    Alien, that's right I'm your Alien
    Keep touching that wound and it’s doomed to turn into a scar
    “Cause every meteor that hits the Earth leaves a mark”
    Disaster looming past the blue sky
    Keeps me alive
    Alien, the two of us aliens
    This pounding feeling between us still unidentified
    A wonder to the universe, you and I
    Supernatural yet super natural
    How I’ll always love you

    This cover is the one that made me realize just how perfectly Oktavia's voice flows with the music. It's not rushed, or scratchy, there's not heavy breathing in between every single line; she doesn't sound like she's struggling at all. Not like any of her other covers are like that; it just took me one listen to this one to truly appreciate how smooth Oktavia's voice is. I know I'm two years late to this, but, Oktavia, if you're reading this? Keep doing what you do. You sound like an absolute professional, and everything has turned out great.

  • @Kurogetsu1
    @Kurogetsu1 7 лет назад +319

    Man, this arrange is actually smooth as hell. Also, since Hazuki has basically quit now and you've taken inspiration from their translations before, will we see less covers from you as a result?

    • @OktaviavonSeckendorff8
      @OktaviavonSeckendorff8  7 лет назад +138

      Probably not, I think I'll be same as usual. It's unfortunate what has occurred with Hazuki no Yume since they are such a huge pillar to the English speaking community, but luckily I still have a myriad of songs I want to get to that Hazuki no Yume and others have already translated, and Forgetfulsubs is still around even if she doesn't upload as often. What it means for me and likely other English cover artists as well is that we probably won't be getting to more recent releases quickly, since we all owe a lot to Hazuki no Yume for speedy translations the day after a big producer releases a new song.

    The style this song is sung with may not be completely fitting to the lyrics, as I personally believe those fit better with a dorky, faster style of song. But nonetheless this is beautifully done, so I don't know why I'm even talking as there is truly nothing to complain about.
