[Project: ReCover]【 Eleanor Forte LITE 】niki - Close To You (English Ver.)【SynthVカバー】

The second video of Project: ReCover! I know a few of you really enjoyed Eleanor with this song, and I'm pretty happy with how she sounds in the new engine on this song! This, by the way, was another complete re-do of the SVP file. That will probably be consistent with the rest of Project: ReCover, as my old S5P files have a few weird things that pop up when converted to SVP.
I have a few more covers planned to be released relatively soon (including my 1 year Synth V anniversary, oh my god!!), so keep your eyes open for those!
I also tried something a bit new with the video, switching between the main vocal tracks, as I had to make two separate lead tracks for the verses and the chorus. Eleanor needed an extra kick of tension for the choruses, so I had to split the track. I hope it isn't too jarring!
Again, the original song is by niki: • Close to you / niki fe...
SVP, Tuning, and Mixing by me!

This is criminally underrated! Less than a minute in and those vocals have already blown me away.

Whoa! I usually hate Eleanor Forte, but this is REALLY EXCELLENT! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Just putting the lyrics here so I can sing along, don’t mind me
The flowers of the new
And laughter of the past
Were beautiful like you
Beauty unsurpassed
Gone without a whisper
You fall asleep like death
Breaking through the Earth
Your smile shines again
Every empty gratitude
Another empty thanks
I finally learned regret
From the words I’ve always said
Never meant to speak to hurt
Yet it hurt to put in words
Goodbye to colours bright
Goodbye unbroken heart
In truth, I wanna feel
The truth I wanna see
I’m trying to embrace your drifting heart and smile
Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes
I keep on looking forward at you hoping that your light will never pass me by
I wonder what the stars that sparkle in your eyes are hiding from my mind?
Hiding from my open heart and from your hoping heart
Together you and I will always be alive, connected
Close to you I’ll stay
As long as I can hold your hand, again and again, forever
I will find my way
You may never answer back my call, but you smile back at me with grace
And everything remains the same, from this pain I’ll soon awake
And what I see will all melt away
With my tears
The shape of broken bones
Will never be the same
Will never find new life
As the body of remains
A soul without a form
Endlessly it’ll chase
But will my broken heart
Find another place?
In truth, I wanna feel
The truth I’ll never see
I’m trying to erase how far we’ve walked in miles
Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears as I look up at the sky
I keep on looking forward at it, hoping that I’ll find you soon enough in time
I wonder if the stars that sparkle in my eyes will eventually subside?
Hiding from my endless heartbeat, from my endless heartbeat
Together you and I will always be alive, committed, close to you I’ll stay
As long as I can hold your hand just one more time, then maybe I will find a way
I can never travel back in time, but you smile back at me, those days
And everything remains the same, from this pain I’ll soon awake
And what I see will all melt away
With my tears
Replaying time again
Repeating time again
Reflected in my heart (the sadness in my heart)
The truth we cannot bear (the truth I won’t admit)
In time I’ll be alright (in time my wounds will heal)
But I’m dying just to hear (oh please just let me hear)
Your never ending laughter
Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears
Don’t you feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes?
I keep on looking forward at you, hoping that in time your light will pass me by
Knowing that the stars that sparkle in your eyes are guiding me to light
Guiding to my open heart and to your hoping heart
Together you and I will always be alive, connected, close to you I’ll stay
Time will never dry my tears or hold my feelings back, they’re pouring in silent rain
All the colours forming back the life I knew when it all remained the same
Somehow in a finite time, this time I’ll find my way out
And I see I’ve barely reached you
And your heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did most of this by ear and by reading what I could from the video, and it seems that a few lines have been changed from the version I checked with online. I did my best but please correct me if anything’s wrong >~<
But seriously, this is one of the best uses of Eleanor I’ve heard and it’s stupidly underrated. I’m obsessed, if no one else will give this more views then I’ll do it myself!

[@TamashiiP]

wow!!! that's all very close! though, for the muted echo parts, the lyrics are actually:
Replaying time again
Repeating time again
Reflected in my heart (The sadness in my heart)
The truth I cannot bear (The truth I won't admit)
In time I'll be alright (In time my wounds will heal)
But I'm dying just to hear (Oh please just let me hear)
Your never ending Laughter
I'm so glad you enjoy the cover this much!!!

Hi, me again! I come back to listen to this all the time but I’d just wanted to say that this cover in particular has been a big inspiration for me trying my own hand at using SynthV. Your tutorials have been really helpful too! I’ve almost finished my first cover and even though it’s been a huge learning curve, I’ve had a lot of fun doing it, so, thank you!

[@k_e_K_e___]

I just love this cover, damn... Sounds majestic!

[@TamashiiP]

This is Synthesizer V! Its a vocal synthesis program, similar to UTAU and Vocaloid.
