Hi everybody, thanks for listening Kodama!
It really is a while since I've uploaded something here, more than a while since I made a "real" cover with research and experiments and all...

About this song, it's a pretty famous piece of "the Korgis", you might know it better if I say that it was the theme song of the movie "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind".
It's a reaaaaally great song for anybody who likes to work a version of a piece, and I couldn't help but enjoying working on it :D For it's soooooo full of potential in any kind of expectation!
Well, eventually I tried to make it up, but in final I wish I had more competence to share you something greater than that.
Anyway, hope you'll enjoy listening. With all my wishes to be able to take you a little higher with this music ^^

Thanks for all your support and see you soon!!

Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime - Kodama ('The Korgis' Cover)

It's been a while since I had that desire of writing this song. Since those days of a special summer, the one in Japan, 2 years ago. Unspeakable feelings that filled my whole soul, the warmth of being there on that very moment. It's about the preciousness of people around you, of the memories you have with them.

I tried to write in the spirit of the japanese sense of harmony, adding a little tiny drop of my personal influences. I wanted this song to color the air with sky blue, orange and deep green, just like it rings in my mind. And finally try to share these scenes which pop up my brain and make me smile.

I got the honor to take up one of the great songs of GRAND from the "YNProject" band and make a version in french. His supportive presence and limitless talent made this collaboration really exciting. It was kind of an adventure, where I got the chance to work on a song's style that was basically very new to me. An adventure very rich, and fun!

My boundless gatitude to Grand!! So you people don't hesitate a sec and go check out their works on ….

Memento - Grand (ynproject) feat. Kodama

Hey guys, thanks for your listening!
This is another version of YNProject's great creator Grand's "Memento."
Here we are again for a thrilling collaboration with my friend Grand, and the beatifully voiced Subishibonbon whom let me sing beside her for the occasion on this beautiful piece in english

It was really impressive how a virtual collaboration made something so real and deep, but that's all because of Grand's and Sibi's talent. I'm really grateful from the depth of my heart to both of them.

Anywho, check them out on the web to see more of their work!

Memento Grand's Original - feat. Sabi

Hi guys! Thanks for listening Kodama!

So this is a cover of a song from the japanese anime "Ghost In the Shell",
The great composer of it made me discover a bunch of great singer and Scott Matthews
and his unbelievable voice is one of them.
I took the time to experiment a thing or two inside the choir, and I'm actually pretty liking it ^^ It's not completely the original structure, just so you know.

Anyhoo I hope you'll like it,
I thank you already for your comments, rates and sharing! See you soon guys!


Vocal: Scott Matthew
Words: Chris Mosdell
Music: Yoko Kanno

Beauty Is Within Us


O mother dear
Look what you've done
To your forlorn and once beloved son
Why was I born at all?
O mother dear
I'm such a freak
A mutant man, a woman underneath
Why was I born at all?

It's you I blame for all the shame
This anguish and this aching
The mirror turned against the wall
Myself despised, forsaken
*You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"
"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"
You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"
But it's grown so dark and ugly

O mother dear
I curse you so
For breathing life into your wretched son
Why were you born at all?

It's me who's been eternally damned
Trapped inside this cage, a ruined man
All damaged and depraved

O mother dear
I love you so
O please forgive this anger in my soul
Without you I'm alone

And my mistake is much too late
But your mistake was trusting
That out of grief, a goodness comes
And love comes out of lusting

Beauty Is Within Us - Kodama (Yoko Kanno feat. Scott Matthews)
