Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You - Cover (Boys Town Gang)

Lyricist : Rokusuke Ei \ Composer : Haichidai Nakamura \ ISWC : T-101.072.813-7
Publisher : Sony Music Publishing Inc \ Singer : Kyu Sakamoto
Released : October 15, 1961
__________________________________________________________________

In Anglophone countries, the song is best known under the alternative title "Sukiyaki", the name of a Japanese hot-pot dish with cooked beef. The word sukiyaki does not appear in the song's lyrics, nor does it have any connection to them; it was used only because it was short, catchy, recognizably Japanese, and more familiar to English speakers. A Newsweek columnist compared this re-titling to issuing "Moon River" in Japan under the title "Beef Stew"

This song was famous also by Kyu Sakamoto’s whistling

The English-language lyrics of the version recorded by « A Taste Of Honey » in 1980 are not a translation of the original Japanese lyrics, but instead a completely different set of lyrics arranged to the same basic melody.
__________________________________________________________________

It was four or five years now that I didn’t sing and record the songs. I was sung and recorded one in 2022 and one recently in April 2024 and  this one today. The voice is not quite there… I need to rework my voice.

When I was a little, I often hummed this song…
I sing in English, it doesn't sound the same as in Japanese.
But I try not to damage the song too much. The melody is very pretty.
I’ll try my best for the next time to sing in Japanese.

Alas, it wasn't me who played the guitar!. I gave it up a very, very long time ago. Besides, I can't remember how to pluck the chords... 🙄😊😁 (I used to sing it and play guitar when I was young).

In fact it is a guitar sound from the synthesizer going through a sound module. But no synthesizer guitar sound can replace the real sound of a guitar... Maybe now... With the new technology. Besides you can hear that it is a bit machine.

There are imperfections, I recorded it in one take. When I sing, I only have the feeling once, so inevitably the wrong notes and the pronunciation mistakes are in the “box” as they say.

I don't usually sing rhythmic songs, but I like Rock, especially these 2 Elvis songs.
It's just a little nod to my big brother Phi Van who moved back to Laos. He sang them very well.
This song was arranged in January 2013. I sang it for the first time in 2018 at a birthday party... I didn't think it was hard enough to sing, plus the tempo is very fast. (I suspect my arranger of speeding up the tempo to boost me😒😩). I had a hard time finishing the Teddy Bear song. 😁 Just for fun ! 😊__________________________________________________________________

We took part in a dinner dance for a Lao-Viet-Thaï-Hmong 
“Catholic Group of Friends” on April 05, 2025.

It's been 7 years (2018) since we played live. We usually play in threes... 
On this particular evening, there were only two of us,
and a guitarist was missing. Except that we weren't no longer used 
to playing continuously...
In fact we hadn't rehearsed much. We'd just fine-tuned our repertoire,
so there were bound to be a few slip-ups... you'll see. 😊

__________________________________________________________

The Carpenters are the Favourite band of all my celebrities.

Their songs have been a part of my childhood, my teenage years and even
now. Especially Karen's voice.
She had a fairly deep, medium-range voice, warm and colorful,
with an exceptional tone.
She was not only a singer, but also a very talented drummer.
Her brother Richard also has an extraordinary voice and does a lot of
backing vocals.

Their two voices alone amply cover the harmony of their tracks.
They're Unique.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this song; it's well-paced, as well as the bass and especially the drums.
For me, this song is very hard to sing, 
because the key starts off very low and rises quite high,
and the tempo also increases.

Honestly, I struggled to keep up with the rhythm in both choruses.
As I was saying, my voice isn't what it was 20-30 years ago. 🙂

This cover was arranged in November 2013, but remained unfinished...
At the time, my voice had a higher key than Karen Carpenter's,
but I couldn't sing it well. Even today, with the same key as hers,
I struggle a little...
I like this song, its slightly country vibe.

Je fais honneur à la chanson française et aussi aux Followers "Français" 😊

Petite parenthèse : Je suis d'origine Vietnamienne, née au Laos

Je vis en France depuis un certain temps et un temps certain...
Et mes goûts musicaux sont anglo-saxons. (Compliqué !... 😩)

Je suis navrée de ne pas faire beaucoup de reprises de chansons françaises...

Do You Remember - Cover (Phil Collins)

I'm just an amateur.

I don't have the soul of a composer, arranger or creator... (or at least I've never tried).
I love music, I especially love to sing, I only perform and I only do covers.
I played guitar for over 10 years when I was young. I gave it up over 30 years ago...

I admire the talents of the artists on SC. You are incredible!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by my profile and listen.

J'ai joué la guitare pendant plus de 10 ans quand j'étais jeune. Ça fait plus de 30 ans que je l'ai laissée tomber...

J'admire les talents des artistes sur SC. Vous êtes incroyables !
