I Will Survive - Cover

Planet Rio (Make it Funky)

The Ghosts in Your Shell

you are deep in the dark while the light’s going out
no one’s answering you, as you’re calling out loud
you are struggling and slipping, as the shadows take hold
you are losing yourself, all alone in the cold.

you may think you are fighting a fight that is good
but you never will win it if you run out of food
for your soul to be healthy, for your mind to be strong
though the road may seem short, for you its too long.

breaks my heart, i can’t help you, breaks my heart you refused
any help that was offered, but i’m done being abused
so i’m turning around now and i’m saving myself
from the darkness within you, from the ghosts in your shell.
from the ghosts in your shell

thought you won’t need a lantern, so you left it at home
now you’re out there, it’s midnight, you are blind and alone
there’s a hand reaching for you to pull you aboard,
in the dark you’re refusing to take the support.

you are slipping in blackness, you are slipping away
you are gone too far down to come back to the day.
in the night you are drowning, I can’t help you no more
you will drown in dark waters, far away from the shore.

breaks my heart, i can’t help you, breaks my heart you refused
any help that was offered, but i’m done being abused
so i’m turning around now and i’m saving myself
from the darkness within you, from the ghosts in your shell.
from the ghosts in your shell
from the ghosts in your shell
from the ghosts in your shell

Happy November! This month brings in a new song with Natsuki Karin once again on vocals. I've been having fun exploring the singing styles available and I want to keep trying to get the best sounding vocals out of the singer.

The track for this month is a bit of a mix, like most of my songs. This time it's a bit of pop with a small infusion of jazz. I wanted to break out the band horns and bright piano again but also add a little bit of a darker harmony with the doom drone and guitars to help offset the bright woodwinds and piano. This is also reflected a little bit in the melody and rhythm of the lyrics as the theme around the song is focused on the vice of gambling and always finding yourself in a casino.

Overall I think it's a fun piece with a little trouble getting started (I went through a lot iterations on the opening and still couldn't quite find the best way to tackle it), but finds it's legs after that and gives a strong beat with some fun highlights.

Chorus
-----------------------------------------------
Place the bet and roll those dice
gotta make it out with my life
Land on red, black, even or odd
anything to give me one more time

-----------------------------------------------
Verse 2
-----------------------------------------------
いつもわたし … 希望にみちている
itsumo watashi … kibou michiteiru
I’m always filled with hope

けど, 希望は見かけとは違う
kedo, kibou wa mikake... to wa chigau 
but, hope is not what it seems


Through the smoke and the lies
I never find the truth
my only task
is place the bet

地獄に … 途中です
jigoku ni … tochuu desu
On my way to hell

-----------------------------------------------
Chorus x2
-----------------------------------------------
Place the bet and roll those dice
gotta make it out with my life
Land on red, black, even or odd
anything to give me one more time
