First cover of 2015! I'm a big fan of niki's rock songs (not as much on his electronic ones) and had been looking to cover a few like this one, BC and possibly Error but sounded kind of funky on the original arrangements. Anyway about 8 months back my friend Angela talked about her friend Justin who does lots of acoustic covers and I was hooked! Acoustic is one of my favorite styles of music to cover and I hadn't done a cover in a while, felt like going back to my usual comfy style lol. If you have time, definitely go check out his channel, he has many awesome acoustic covers and arrangements from Vocaloid songs, to anime, etc and also has a few collab covers with some pretty swell singers as well. English lyrics were by KL. When I heard his cover and lyrics, I knew I couldn't do the song anymore justice than his interpretation, kudos sir! Thanks for listening!
I'd also like to dedicate this cover to Fweh, or Jeremy. I know you've been going through some trying times but it's all going to work out. Just keep leaguin' and being cool bro. Sadly I sound dreadful on World Lampshade but I thought this would be a close second.

[@knightmare_346]

lyrics: The flowers of the new and laughter of the past They're beautiful like you beauty unsurpassed Gone with a whisper, you fall asleep like death Breaking through the earth, your smile shines again My empty gratitude, another empty thank you I finally learnt regret from words I've always said Never meant to speak to hurt, yet it hurt to put in words Goodbye wherever you are, goodbye unbroken heart In truth I want to feel the truth I want to see I'm trying to embrace your drifting heart and smile Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes I keep on looking forward at you hoping that your light will never pass me by I wonder what the stars that sparkle in your eyes are hiding from my mind Hiding from my open heart and from your open heart Together, you and I will always be alive, connected, close to you I'll stay As long as I can hold your hand again and again, forever, I will find my way You may never answer back my call, but you smile back at me with grace And everything remains the same, this pain I'll soon awake from What I see will melt all away with my tears A shape of broken line will never be the same It'll never find new life as a body of remains A soul without a form, endlessly it'll chase But will my broken heart find another place? In truth I want to feel the truth I'll never see I'm trying to erase how far we've walked in miles Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears as I look up at the sky I keep on looking forward at it hoping that I'll find you soon enough in time I wonder if the stars that sparkle in my eyes will eventually subside Hiding from my endless heartbeat, from my endless heartbeat Together, you and I will always be alive, committed, close to you I'll stay As long as I can hold your hand again and again, then maybe I will find a way I can never travel back in time, but they smile back at me, those days And everything remains the same, this pain I'll soon awake from What I see will melt all away with my tears Replaying time again, replaying time again Repeating time again, repeating time again Reflected in my heart, reflected in my heart Your never-ending laughter Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears... Can't you feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes? I keep on looking forward at you hoping that in time your light will pass me by Now I know the stars that sparkle in your eyes are guiding me to light Guiding to my open heart and to your open heart Together, you and I will always be alive connected, close to you I'll stay Time will never hold my tears or hold my feelings down they pour like silent rain All the colors forming back the life I knew when all remained the same Somehow in a finite time, this time I'll find my way out And I see I've barely reached you and your heart

[@tsunasauchi]

NO WAY JEFF SANG CLOSE TO YOU AHHHH STILL SCREAMING it's beautiful!! Jeff and rock is the best ;) your voice is so smooth and perfect in this song omg im crying and I see the dedication at the end ;o I'm happy for that, thank you for doing so and your thoughts as well ;v;
