Miyako in all her glory and that genius brain may create a masterpiece but it takes the insane talent of all the band members in this group to be able to play it LIVE flawlessly!!! Much like Frozen Serenade, kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5aboYSMqpKFhJo another masterpiece that shows off the insane talent, this song proves that this band is not a one genre wonder. Miyako tries to blend classical elements into many of the band's songs she composes along with all the classical metal sounds the members were influenced by. This band produces masterpieces, epic or awesome songs all the time and each new one is an experience especially LIVE.

Chopin is one of Miyakos favorite composer. And it's pronounced (Show pan)
@Soulspinner00111 ай бұрын
I always pronounced that way as well. Then when we were talking about music in work one day my Polish friend giggled when I said his name. Apparently it is supposed to be pronounced as Shopin, just like saying shopping without the g on the end. Who knew all these years I had been saying it wrong, everyday is a school day. In my defence, it was at school in Edinburgh that I learned to pronounce it wrong.

I am sure there are a lot words we mispronounce due to poor English translation.

LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics: If this was the last day you could live on this earth Would you still go on, accusing someone for today It’s better to fail than not do anything at all It is not the length, but depth of life that counts Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been through despair Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to never care You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life Sometimes the life of one can save so many more Oh brave soldier Oh gallant warrior Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla Believe what’s in your soul For death will come to all You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: miyako / both Floating lotus You are so graceful Saintly and glorious Till the end of time Floating lotus You are so beautiful Sing me your sweet song The legend of the swan SOLO: midori [guitar] / miyako [piano] ----- lyrics: asami music: miyako arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami) album: Electric Pentagram 01/29/2020 ------

Great reaction ! Yes, Miyako is the generational talent who hopped from the piano to shred the guitar and then back to the piano. She also composed and arranged this track. "Swan Song" is a neoclassical metal masterpiece and throughout this song, you can hear motifs from Romantic-era composers Chopin (intro, main riff, solo) and Dvořák (chorus). Miyako's piano intro was Chopin's (pronounced "show-pan") "Étude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor", aka "Revolutionary Étude". For more piano and a progier sound, check out "Edge of the World" LIVE : kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4vNqYCgd9Sjbdk . Not sure if you have already reacted to this song but I couldn't tell because you don't have a Lovebites playlist.

LOVEBITES plays metal from a variety of genres. SwanSong can be said to be a representative song with a lyrical atmosphere. “A FROZEN SERENADE” is a song that has an atmosphere that is a further evolution of this song. The video for “A FROZEN SERENADE” performed live at Tokyo Dome City Hall in 2021 can be called a masterpiece of this genre. Recommended. (I think this video was recorded in 2020. The bassist at that time was Miho. Fami has been in the band since 2022). ---------- from Nippon *This is a text using Google Translate. I hope I conveyed my intentions correctly.

Chopin (pronounced Show-pan) was a Polish-born Romantic-era (1800’s) classical composer and piano virtuoso who lived most of his life in France. He is considered one of the great classical composers, specializing in highly technical works for piano. "Etude" is French for "study". Chopin's Etudes were written as "studies", or lessons, for his students. They ended up being popular things for professional pianists to play as part of their concerts, in part to show off their skills. This is one of the more famous ones and is considered one of the most difficult ones. Miyako, who composes a lot of Lovebites’ music, is a professional-level concert pianist, and was originally going to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and is now (quite obviously) an elite-level guitarist. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák and Chopin, as well as her stated favorite, Russian romantic composer Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor), with a passage by Rachmaninoff as the outro. For this performance, she actually played the Etude as the intro, but it’s not normally included in their shows.

The Chopin piece Miyako (guitar/keyboards) is playing in the intro is "Etude OP10, No. 12" known as the "Revolutionary Etude." In 1831, some officers and citizens rose up against the Polish government, which was under the de facto control of the Russian Empire, in what was called the "November Revolution" but ended in failure due to the direct intervention of Russian troops. Chopin received this news during a performance tour. He never set foot on the soil of his homeland again. When the Russians invaded Warsaw, Chopin's agent presented "Etude OP10, No. 12" in Paris. Because of the agent's exaggerated publicity, people called this piece "Revolutionary Etude. Miyako composed "Swan Song" based on this "Revolutionary Etude" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony. Asami (vocalist), a former ballerina, wrote the lyrics based on the historical background of "Revolutionary Etude" and inspired by Norse mythology and the ballet suite "Swan Lake. "SwanSong" is a requiem dedicated to the warriors who fought to reclaim their homeland, a masterpiece that only LOVEBITES could complete.

ALL the ladies can play keyboards (Midori, Miyako, Miho, Asami, Haruna and Fami). This is the 2020 concert. In this video, Miho plays the bass guitar. Miho created LoveBites and was the band's leader until August 2021.

Some songs get called a masterpiece when they should not have. This song is a masterpiece, period. Miho on bass here, not Fami. This song I always dub "The Miyako Show". My favorite song by any band ever is "Judgement Day". The studio version/music video edges out the live performance for me, if by but a hair.
