really smooth and nostalgic music. great sound.

Soft, lovely and evocative. I am hearing lyrics in my heart! Smiles, C

You can't say my friend's name out loud
Because she shares the same name as your ex
I hate that that still makes me feel down
Knowing that you're still not over her
You even took me to her place
Not only met her behind my back
And you told me it was just to say goodbye
I don't know what is going on in your mind
I just want to feel I'm wanted
I just want to feel I'm needed
I just want to feel I'm loved by you
But you don't love me like you loved her
It's out of control
I need to let it all go

Never Ending Dream

Recently I mentioned that I had a cassette tape from over 40 years ago when The Takahashi Band of 82 made a demo track for a potential TV commercial. The track was only worked on for a day or two and then abandoned. I think we all had a busy year and for whatever reason this recording was discarded.

I also talked about sharing the recording one day just for nostalgic reasons, however the mix was a very basic end-of-day progress mix and no vocal part was conceived. Sharing it in this form would not do the potential of the work any justice.

The track began with chords and synths that Yukihiro Takahashi recorded, the basic building blocks of his composition. I added the drum part. Having been intensively rehearsing and performing Takahashi material this triggered a distinct blend of my own style as might appear on tracks such as 'The Art of Parties' and Yukihiro's style on tracks such as 'Glass'. Haruomi Hosono added his brilliance on bass, as well as Masami Tsuchiya overlaying guitar parts and Hajime Tachibana adding a saxophone solo.

Fast forward over 40 years....
 
At the end of 2023 I sent the demo to singer/songwriter Marco Machera, someone I’ve collaborated with a few times in the past and whose vocal style I felt would compliment the music. Yukihiro also enjoyed Marco's music, including it on his own radio show. I asked Marco to consider adding a vocal which he was happy to do, also composing lyrics too.

I used an AI program to break down the stereo mix of the original cassette recording into individual tracks (this is a relatively new technology and although the quality struggled it allowed for a little bit more flexibility with the mixing and blending of new overdubs). The performed parts were retained, and to which I recorded some additional instrumentation as well as joining Marco on the chorus vocals. I made a new mix of the track. So what we have here is the finished piece: “Impossible Until It Happens”. 

Marco and I share this as an homage to Yukihiro who passed away this time last year and is greatly missed. We can feel the essence of Yukihiro's writing style in this track and we hope that you enjoy it.

Lyrics -

When I call
You pick up the phone
Cause you love me
(Do you love me?)
When I cry
I need you right there
To hold me
That’s all the love that I need
That’s all the love that I need
(Actually no I don’t need it)

I could be your biggest fan
Don’t play me like your video games
I’ve prayed for a love like this
(Real love)
And if I’m gone I know that you’ll miss
(Miss me)
Me me me me me
只想我们在一起
起起起起
在一起有多甜蜜
蜜蜜蜜蜜
答应我可不可以
以以以以

When I call
You pick up the phone
Cause you love me
(Answer me)
(Do you love me?)
When I cry
I need you right there
To hold me
(Cause you’re the one who makes me cry)
That’s all the love that I need
That’s all the love that I need

(Um)
(Bye)

When I call
You pick up the phone
Cause you love me
When I cry
I need you right there
To hold me
That’s all the love that I need
That’s all the love that I need

LOVE I NEED

光を見ている

恋は盲目

ねえねえ聞いてよね　やっぱ言えない気持ち
ねえねえ聞いてよね　気持ちに気付いてる？

私の頭の中　考えすぎてぐちゃぐちゃなんです
言いたいこと　決めてたのに　ああ今日もさようなら

ねえねえ聞かせて　いつも言わない気持ち
ねえねえ聞かせて　どんな風に思ってる？

今日も貴方に会えたことが　今の私の幸せなんです
今日こそ素直になりたいんだけど　今の私は馬鹿なんです

もうやだ　自分じゃないみたい

私の頭の中　考えすぎてぐちゃぐちゃなんです
言いたいこと　決めてたのに 　ああ今日もさようなら

私の頭の中　考えすぎてぐちゃぐちゃなんです
言いたいこと　決めてたのに　ああ今日も好きなのに

恋は盲目
