【Cover 翻唱】憶紅蓮 Reminiscence of the Red Lotus 【Fyre】

Disclaimer: I couldn't find anything to put in the music box intro (original pv starts when the actual song starts) so prepare for my terrible Windows Movie Maker Text attack!!! :3c muwahaha
Anyways, Hi there!
I recently started listening to a playlist of Chinese Vocaloid songs and DAMN some of them are just so beautiful I couldn't resist! I'm also a sucker for traditional oriental music x) So today marks the start of my summer and I'm back home again so I rushed-recorded something heh. I know that some of the pronunciation is awkward, and I realize it but I just can't say certain words in mandarin xD So excuse me on that. Also, I really suck at harmonies so I left them out, who needs harmonies anyway :P I hope you guys enjoy this one!
This song is one of the most poetic, beautiful pieces I've ever covered. I've put up some translations in the form of annotations so please turn those on if you can ^^/ The translated story is so worth it ; w ;
(i borrowed some translations from • 【洛天依】Luo Tianyi - 憶紅蓮 ... because the lyrics are actually super archaic-poetry so regular translation programs won't do the job properly.
-------------------
The story behind this song/pv:
Well, I wont go and copy and paste some other video's description so I'll give you a TLDR:
-Red lotus falls in love with the guy and incarnates as a girl so they can be together. Unfortunately, her time on earth is short because she's just an incarnation and she basically has to die when the lotuses die (in the winter). It's pretty tragic really ;; heartbroken
Also, note that the song actually switches point of views frequently (if you can notice it) so it's not just 1 of the characters singing to the other.

Ladies and gentlemen, a man with the voice if an angel!! AND a vocaloid fan to top it off!! You, sir, have moved me to tears with this magnificent piece, and proved that you are a worthy dabbler in the divine art that is music. *Subscribe* Now if you'll excuse me, I need a tissue. 😭

回顧 皎月晦明燈花處 擡眉 初紅蓮風袖袅娜爲誰舞 回顧 蓦然步轉青石路 還在水榭畔 畫樓處 回顧 筆染朱砂輕蓮步 經年 依稀壹曲然爲君舞 回顧 來年再恨相思誤 還在水榭畔 畫樓處 是妳衣白衫如初 我紅裳如故 是我嘗相思味苦 我爲妳起舞 是我貪戀卻踟蹰 妳原地癡伫 還在水榭畔 畫樓處 如初 倚君共憶當年舞 紅蓮 清淚兩行欲吐半點卻無 如初 是妳杳然若绯霧 還在水榭畔 畫樓處 是誰白衫如初 誰紅裳如故 誰人撫琴紅蓮賦 又見誰壹舞 誰人貪戀卻踟蹰 半池繁榮枯 還在水榭畔 畫樓處 依然水榭畔 畫樓處

[@llFYREll]

+Basil Ryuzaki I do sing in japanese but I do not speak the language and I only know very very limited vocabulary! I mostly rely heavily on romaji XD

[@coldplayhetaly]

+areia mirina Is it also because he's singing? Because sometimes you can't always pronounce every word correctly.

[@leeqimin]

+Jack Tracy maybe

[@jenniferchen673]

Even 7 years later, I still come back to this cover :) You have a beautiful voice, and I really hope life is treating you well these days. Just wanted to let you know that you were one of my favorite cover artists when I was 12~13. I'm 21 now and still come back to listen:)

[@angelmalaika8058]

[@thedustwhispered]

Your pronunciation is slightly awkward, but it's very good if you're not a native speaker(?). Your voice is beautiful though; very relaxing!

[@kaedemaciej]

I love you because you are one of the few people out there who care about the lyrics of songs. Thank you.

[@大野洋平-q3i]

[@sayurishima8503]

Listening. Cannot believe. It's beautiful, wonderful, amazing, incredible!

[@锦堂风月]

感觉降过调，伴奏没有那种惊艳的感觉了，亲可以试试一些男声的歌，古风男声音频怪物，小曲儿 winky诗 河图， 试试吧~你声音挺好听的，有点小期待呢(ง •_•)ง

[@lullaby3180]

Amazing cover! You should sing more chinese songs! In love with your voice!

[@paperplane6423]

I wish I know how to pronounce chinese right... huehuehue. Cause I suck at it!! Uhyea!!

[@llFYREll]

yea, the sounds in chinese are sometimes difficult especially when you're used to the phonics of another language. it takes some time and listening to a bunch of songs, maybe an intro class in mandarin wouldn't hurt either! :3

[@Merobean]

maaaaannn Robby I still can't get over how amazing this cover is

[@wintermelon2484]

You almost have the 标准口音 in some places but then in some places you sound like a 老外 so I'm so confused about where you're from xD

[@llFYREll]

You definitely haven't enough subscriptions for how good you are. Really, I've listened to a few of your covers and they're all amazing. I'll give my best and get better and record things and maybe then (only if you like my singing and if it's okay) would you maybe join me in a song someday? Sounds weird from a stranger I know and I'll come back if I actually recorded something haha but dear god, I am overwhelmed. Please keep it up. ♥

[@llFYREll]

RottenButterfly Thank you so much! :) And of course I will listen to your stuff, just drop on by sometimes and show me! ^^/ Most of all, enjoy what you do that is the most important.

[@mizusora6508]

the first part, well, It was sad, but when the boy touches his heart in pain... I started crying so hard. I love all your covers, cause you always put so much emotion and feelings, but this one, rushed? No, it's perfect. It's so touching >.

[@ceciliazhang1062]

[@สุพิชญาจ่าภา]

คนไทยค่า คนอื่นเม้นอิ้งหมดเดียวเรานี้แหละเน้มไทยเอง ใครคนไทยขอเสียจ้า

[@FaustV1]

In the north at the city of Chang An, there was a man that really loved the lotus that was in his garden. The lotus than reincarnated as a young women for her master and followed him everywhere, never separating from him. They fell in love and were very happy together. She was beautiful, but as we say, the more beautiful you are, the shorter is your life. When winter arrived, her soul disappeared and the man could never see her again.

[@albertchen2020]

Well done! Very enjoyable this cover is better than original song: )

[@Roku-Shi12]

Such a pretty song with such a pretty voice~ ^^

[@DragonriderEpona]

Hey :3 can you help me pls? How do I pornounce 繁? my dictionaries say that it's "fán"? But for me it sounds more like "yon(g)". (This word is in the the last but two verse of the song.) It would really help me :3

[@llFYREll]

Ah sorry about this confusion! In the original PV and vocals, it is listed as "犹" which is pronounced yóu. I don't know why its fán in the characters! There must be a reason! haha or else it might be a mistake by the post :3/

[@DragonriderEpona]

aaah :3 thank you so much! It will help me to translate the song in German ^w^

[@MeiZhenBLAH]

Your voice is so nice!! Except for the pronounciation part I think it's really really good! Hope you can make more covers of 古风 songs !! :) P.S. May I know what softwares/apps you use to record the songs?

[@llFYREll]

+MeiZhenBLAH thanks so much! I use a RODE NT1A microphone to record on Adobe Audition 3. I also do my mixing on audition.

[@MeiZhenBLAH]

Ahh I see I see. Thank you! Is it difficult to do the mixing stuff?
