Lovebites - Burden of Time - Margarita Kid Reacts!

Second time watching this band, and still just amazing talent. Watching someone play guitar and keys at the same time is pretty incredible.

[@marting.h.9417]

Welcome to the mind-blowing world of Lovebites and spreading the word because they deserve more recognition. I know this is your 2nd reaction to them. These women are extremely talented, skillful and versatile proficient musicians. Yes, their main influences are the great metal bands of the past but they have been developing their unique style. Their live performances are just outstanding. Some people say that they’re breaking the walls of stereotypes in the world metal scene. If you want more heavy stuff, then I recommend “The hammer of wrath”, “Judgement day”, “Set the world on fire”, “break the wall”, “When destinies align”, “Shadowmaker”, “Winds of Transylvania”, “Thunder vengeance”, all live). For a different side of them: “Edge of the world”, “Empty daydream”, “Epilogue”, “Liar”, “Spellbound”, “A frozen serenade”, “Glory to the world” (all live). The MVs of “Shadowmaker”, “When destiny align”, “Winds of Transylvania”, “Judgment day” and “Glory to the world” are also excellent.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Thanks for all of those recommendations, and I agree that there's something special about bands that can play in multiple genres, or also combine them ("genre-bending" is the term I've heard lately), while still keeping their own unique flair. I look forward to getting to the songs above and will try and jump around a bit between genres as best I can.

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

thank you for your great reaction and appreciation. you know. what you´re talking about. for me one of their greatest qualities beside the obvious others (musicianship, stage charisma, stage presence and many more) is their composer skills. in around 60 songs now you won´t find a single bad, stale or mediocre one. so: stick with them, it´s really worth it.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Thanks, and thanks for the advice! Agreed that composer skills are often overlooked; I should mention that more often.

LOVEBITES - Burden Of Time lyrics: Sleepless nights, with every passing day I'm dreaming life away Faceless moon, tell me, what would you say If you could curse your fate The daylight will die Silent noise is ringing in my head Killing me through the night Scars might fade, but the pain will remain Save me before the dawn As days go by I'm standing here Still fighting it One day I must change (Don't waste your time) Time is fair to everyone (Don't waste your life) Time and tide wait for no one Don't ever be afraid to die young and live fast (Don't waste your time) Time is slipping away from us (Don't waste your life) Time keeps changing, and so do we Live as if today was the last day SOLO: mi-ya Starless nights, with every passing day I'm swinging life away An empty glass is falling down again What's happening in my life？ The blood stains remain Flames will ignite Searching for the light In this time In due time SOLO: mi-ya / midori / both I'm standing here Still fighting it One day I must change (Don't waste your time) Time is fair to everyone (Don't waste your life) Time and tide wait for no one Don't ever be afraid to die young and live fast (Don't waste your time) Time will never be the same (Don't waste your life) Time is running out too soon Racing against the clock But we can't escape from tomorrow (Don't waste your time) Time is slipping away from us (Don't waste your life) Time keeps changing, and so do we Live as if today was the last day ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) & Mao from Awakening From Abyss 2017

This was recorded Live in their Studio in October of 2020 and Livestreamed in November as a gift to their fans during the Pandemic. It 'may' have been Mastered and sound balanced before the Livestream (but the timing seems too short to me). The concert was actually them performing their 1st full album *Awakening From Abyss* . If you want to see *Miyako* play piano unencumbered by a guitar, check out a Miyako composition *Swan Song* with a *Chopin* intro - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpSwh6eoq9V9ps0

Miyako does alot of the music as a classically trained Pianist she has a real ear her nickname is the Golden Touch (Me Yock Oh) Midori is the other guitarist (Mi dor EE) She also Bodybuilds and has placed 2nd recently in competition although they should check the power in Harunas legs as much as she rides that double bass (Hah Rune Ah) and as you can tell original founder bassist Miho is the headbanger here with her Metalicca Ride The Lightning shirt (Mi Yo) and Asami's vocal quality is awesome on this song (Ah Som EE).

Thank you for the full pronunciation guide!

Miyako pronounced me-yak-o with the "o" rhyming with toe or low. 😊

They are truly elite musicians. Midori & Miyako are 2 of the best duos I've heard in 5 devades. Dive deeper, they just get more impressive.

Glad to see you continuing your journey with Lovebites. They are indeed a phenomenal band. You haven't even done any of their top 5 songs yet. The Hammer of Wrath is one of them and features the new bassist Fami. It is one of their heaviest tracks. They have a live video of it on their YT channel.

The bass player and founder of Lovebites Miho composed this song (together with Mao) and Miho also wrote the lyrics. Unusual because Miho is actually more loved for her hard thrash metal songs. When it comes to handmade music at a high level, you need the best trained musicians on instruments.There are a lot of them in Japan at the moment, especially among women. Check it out comrade : Lovebites, Band Maid, Nemophila, Aldious, Bridear, Hanabie, Fate Gear, ArkRoyal, Little Lillith, Hades, Gacharic Spin, Doll$boxx etc. Lovebites History : Lovebites has been around since 2016, and the women became more famous worldwide after performing at several major festivals, mainly in Europe, starting in 2018 - Wacken - Open Air in Germany 2018 - Bloodstock Open Air in England 2019 - Graspop Metal Meeting Festival in Belgium 2019 - Download Festival in Spain. In 2020, their career was abruptly interrupted by Corona. But they masterfully overcame the crisis, got married and had babies. In 2021 the founder Miho left the band for personal reasons and it went into a hiatus which lasted until the end of 2022. In the fall of 2022 they found a young fantastic bass player and in 2023 they released a new LP. The new LP reached the 5th place in the Japanese charts. Japan is the 2nd largest music market in the world and it is very rare that in these times a rock band comes so far forward. Members : Asami : Vocals, Piano🎤 Haruna Ishikawa : Drums🥁 Midori Tatematsu : Lead Guitar, backing vocals 🎸 Miyako Watanabe : Lead Guitar, Keyboard , Piano, Keytar, backing vocals🎸🎹 FAMI : Bass🎸 Founder : Miho Rosana : Bass (2016-2021)🎸 INFO : Miyako + Midori are the best guitar duo in 3 decades ! All Lovebites women are masters. These Ladies write, compose and arrange their own songs. Over 60 premium songs in 6 years and not a single weak song.

Had I paused it (and believe me, it's comical that I didn't since I normally pause like crazy), I probably would have just commented on her holding the pick in her mouth. :-) (It's dorky details like that I tend to hone in on when I'm kind of overwhelmed).

The jazz riff you heard was used by Rush in La Villa Strangiato (An Exercise in Self-Indulgence). Rush pulled that part from Powerhouse composed by Raymond Scott (1937) and used in Warner Bros cartoons. Specifically the parts "Monster!" and "Monsters (Reprise)" in La Villa Strangiato came from Powerhouse. Not sure if Lovebites pulled that part you heard specifically from either. Could be direct or indirect. Maybe someone knows. This song has a bit of anime guitar vibe to it. Reminds me a bit of composer Toshio Masuda (Naruto).

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Ah, so I was right in my memory of that being from the Monster! section (it's been decades since I've seen the names of those parts). Also, if I'm remembering correctly, the term "An Exercise in Self-Indulgence" was only used in the Vinyl version, so I think I'm dealing with someone from my era! I didn't know anything about the Raymond Scott thing though, so I'm definitely going to have to look that up. Thanks for posting that!

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

OK, just listened to Powerhouse. Rush undeniably used that part almost note for note (I think there was one extra note in it, but it made about as much difference as Vanilla Ice lifting Under Pressure). Again, thanks!

@@DadDaughtersandDrinks Cool. Thanks for the response. I have some knowledge of music from different eras because my father was born in 1933. Listened to a lot of his jazz, classical, musicals. My wheelhouse is heavy metal, classic hard rock and symphonies. Rush is legendary.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

That's awesome to have that background. My father was born in 38, but he never listed to music. Literally, I think the only music I ever heard him listen to was the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack, which I think was just because my mom had it on a tape in his car. Luckily for me, I had siblings born in the 60's, so they were in the right era for great music to pass on to me. Plus, growing up in Buffalo, bands like Rush, Triumph, Kim Mitchell, etc. were playing at small clubs all over the place.
