It's of course "Moonlight Shadow" featured Maggie Reilly. Very nice cover, Harvey.

Nice arrangement Harvey, but the title eluded me.  Nice use of your Moog/synth voicing on the Yamaha.

Everyone i see
Every smile i give
What does it mean to me 
If you leave

All the love we spelled
All in my body
Stronger when you held
Held me

Set me free
Set me free

I will always be there for you
I will watch you like a work of art 
I will make you happy for two
But I won't get your heart

All the dreams we shared
Promises that we made
Every step we braved
They fade

Set me free
Set me free

I will always be there for you 
I will watch you like a work of art
I will make you happy for two 
But I won't get your heart

Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free

I'll never ever say Goodbye 
Call me  if you need me sometimes
I will dry your tears when you cry
But I know you'll never be mine

We'll live forever as a work of art
and I will never get your heart

Tout le monde que je vois
Chaque sourire que je fais
Qu'est-ce que cela veut dire pour moi 
Si tu pars

Tout l'amour que nous avons épelé
Tout dans mon corps
Plus fort quand tu me tenais
Me tenais

Libère-moi
Libère-moi

Je serai toujours là pour toi
Je te regarderai comme une œuvre d'art 
Je te rendrai heureuse pour deux
Mais je n'obtiendrai pas ton coeur

Tous les rêves que nous avons partagés
Les promesses que nous avons faites
Chaque pas que nous avons bravé
Ils s'estompent

Libère-moi
Libère-moi

Je serai toujours là pour toi 
Je te regarderai comme une œuvre d'art
Je te rendrai heureuse pour deux 
Mais je n'obtiendrai pas ton coeur

Libère-moi
Libère-moi
Libère-moi
Libère-moi

Je ne dirai jamais au revoir 
Appelle-moi si tu as besoin de moi parfois
Je sécherai tes larmes quand tu pleureras
Mais je sais que tu ne seras jamais à moi

Nous vivrons pour toujours comme une œuvre d'art
et je n'obtiendrai jamais ton coeur

Set Me Free

Instincts that can still betray us,
A journey that leads to the sun,
Soulless and bent on destruction,
A struggle between right and wrong

You take my place in the showdown,
I'll observe with a pitiful eye,
I'll humbly ask for forgiveness,
A request well beyond you and I

An abyss that laughs at creation,
A circus complete with all fools,
Foundations that lasted the ages,
Then ripped apart at their roots

Beyond all this good is the terror,
The grip of a mercenary hand,
When savagery turns all good reason,
There's no turning back, no last stand

Existence well what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can
The past is now part of my future,
The present is well out of hand
The present is well out of hand

Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn
One will burn, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn

A big thank you to Jo Richter @sonic-textures for offering up this inspiring open collaboration poem! His recording, also quite strange and experimental, can be found here:
https://soundcloud.com/sonic-textures/the-passing-crave-voice-effects

The rhythmic background in my track was created by taking Jo's recording and chopping it up into fragments, then running it through a sample arpeggiator using an app called Samplr. Jo's recording is also used in the backward tape effect at the beginning and end, also created with Samplr. 

To further experiment with tape manipulation effects I did my own reading of the poem, then snipped the vocals into fragments and pitch-shifted them, this time using the Abu Dhabi dynamic loop slicer in Korg Gadget. Of course I also layered on some synth and keys (arturia microfreak, minilogue xd). Quite a different approach for me on this one, but it all came together surprisingly quickly considering the relative complexity. I hope to experiment with similar techniques going forward, I'm finding it fun to work with poetry and spoken word, so am definitely open to more collaborations that go in this direction!

Lyrics copyright Jo Richter (Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches)

the day slopes
down the hill
his residence rests on

the clouds in his gaze
match the clouds in the sky
as the winds gently shape them

he has a slow meal
within shifting structures 
of people who rush by

stopped at a corner
he sees squatters evicted
from ivory lodgings

matching his steps
to the patterns of stones
he rewrites the pavement

past the outskirts of town
he watches a beetle
scuttle along a fencepost

he walks past the tree
he has been dreaming of
for ten years in a row now

in liquified air
this moment freezes
unseeing his life

The Passing: Fragmentary Mix - w/ Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches (Poem by Jo Richter)

The great philosophical question: Why is not nothing? Can the answer be found in this track? Perhaps... you have to listen carefully! ...otherwise you can also dance well on it. Howsoever: enjoy it !!!

Why Is Not Nothing?

song about some one's sister(sounds like mine) home recording.

Sissy's Song

This round I'm covering a Japanese pop song.
The problem is, I don't know Japanese but I really like the music.
The original was performed by veteran singer-songwriter Hideaki Tokunaga.  
I kind of shifted a little bit towards country pop in my arrangement and added an outro sax for completeness.  Just see what you think.

Apology to my Japanese friends for my probable weird pronunciation.

[LYRICS per Google Translation]
For you
I do not mind staying in my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

Easy eyes are created
I keep silent in that sky
Even if you do not miss a mystery love
Now I can not find a night here

For you 
I'm looking at a dream I have never seen before.
For you
Close your eyes, I love you

As the moment of two people runs out 
the troublesome thing to wear on your body
I can show you through

A desperate thought has risen up in that
All goes on to love as it is

For you
I do not mind having even my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

[ORIGINAL LYRICS]
あなたのために hu hu
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために huhu
透きとおって I love you

やさしい目が 创りだす
その空气に 默り迂む
ミステリーな恋  愉しんでも
探せない夜が いま ここに  

あなたのために huhu
见たことのない 梦を见つめてる 
あなたのために
目を闭じて I Love You

二人になる瞬间へ
走りだして 行くために
身に振りかかる わずらわしさ 
突き拔けてみせる いつ だって 

沸き起こる とりとめない想い
すべて 爱しさへ つづく

あなたのために ya ha
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために ya ha
透きとおって I Love You

For You  (Anata no Tameni)  Cover

This tune was performed by Mike Oldfield in 1983. Performed by me on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: www.harveytwyman.com

I have now minimised all my musical equipment down to a single arranger keyboard, the Yamaha PSR-SX900.

Originally I had created all the features of this keyboard using multiple pieces of MIDI equipment all controlled through a Windows tablet. I created a YouTube video describing it all:
