X Japan - Art Of Life (No Piano Solo)

[@ao_tanuki77]

元々はJealousyのアルバムで2枚組CDとして発売される予定だった本作。 YOSHIKIが妥協を許さずにレコーディングした結果、2年近く遅れてのリリースとなり、発売を心待ちにしていたきおくがあります。 発売からもうすぐ30年。私の青春、人生はX JAPANとともに。これからも永遠に。

Desert Rose Why do you live alone If you are sad I'll make you leave this life Are you white, blue or bloody red All I can see is drowning in cold grey sand The winds of time You knock me to the ground I'm dying of thirst I wanna run away I don't know how to set me free to live My mind cries out feeling pain I've been roaming to find myself How long have I been feeling endless hurt Falling down, rain flows into my heart In the pain I'm waiting for you Can't go back No place to go back to Life is lost, Flowers fall If it's all dreams Now wake me up If it's all real Just kill me I'm making the wall inside my heart I don't wanna let my emotions get out It scares me to look at the world Don't want to find myself lost in your eyes I tried to drown my past in grey I never wanna feel more pain Ran away from you without saying any words What I don't wanna lose is love Through my eyes Time goes by like tears My emotion's losing the color of life Kill my heart Release all my pain I'm shouting out loud Insanity takes hold over me Turning away from the wall Nothing I can see The scream deep inside reflecting another person in my heart He calls me from within "All existence you see before you must be wiped out : Dream, Reality, Memories, and Yourself" I begin to lose control of myself My lust is so blind, destroys my mind Nobody can stop my turning to madness No matter how you try to hold me in your heart Why do you wanna raise these walls I don't know the meaning of hatred My brain gets blown away hearing words of lies I only want to hold your love Stab the dollls filled with hate Wash yourself with their blood Drive into the raging current of time Swing your murderous weapon into the belly "the earth" Shout and start creating confusion Shed your blood for pleasure And what? For love? What am I supposed to do? I believe in the madness called "Now" Past and future prison my heart Time is blind But I wanna trace my love on the wall of time, over pain in my heart Art of life Insane blade stabbing dreams Try to break all truth now But I can't heal this broken heart in pain Cannot start to live, Cannot end my life Keep on crying Close my eyes Time breathes I can hear All love and sadness melt in my heart Dry my tears Wipe my bloody face I wanna feel me living my life outside my walls You can't draw a picture of yesterday, so You're painting your heart with your blood You can't say "No" Only turning the wheel of time with a rope around your neck You build a wall of morality and take a breath from between the bricks You make up imaginary ennemies and are chased by them You're trying to commit suicide You're satisfied with your prologue Now you're painting your first chapter black You are putting the scraps of life together and trying to make an asylum for yourself You're hitting a bell at the edge of the stage and You are trying to kill me I believe in the madness called "Now" Time goes flowing, breaking my heart Wanna live Can't let my heart kill myself Still I haven't found what I'm looking for Art of life I try to stop myself But my heart goes to destroy the truth Tell me why I want the meaning of my life Do I try to live, Do I try to love in my dream I'm breaking the wall inside my heart I just wanna let my emotions get out Nobody can stop I'm running to freedom No matter how you try to hold me in your world Like a doll carried by the flow of time I sacrificed the present moment for the future I was in chains of memory half-blinded Losing my heart, walking in the sea of dreams Close my eyes Rose breathes I can hear All love and sadness melt in my heart Dry my tears Wipe my bloody face I wanna feel me living my life outside my mind Dreams can make me mad I can't leave my dream I can't stop myself Don't know what I am What lies are truth? What truths are lies? I believe in the madness called "Now" Time goes flowing, breaking my heart Wanna to live Can't let my heart kill myself Still I haven't found what I'm looking for Art of life I try to stop myself But my heart goes to destroy the truth Tell me why I want the meaning of my life Do I try to live, Do I try to love Art of life An Eternal Bleeding heart You never wanna breathe your last Wanna live Can't let my heart kill myself Still I'm feeling for A Rose is breathing love in my life

I agree the more triumphant end following the piano solo is better with its inclusion, the only problem is how long the piano solo is. There’s only so long one can listen to someone smashing a bunch of random keys 😂

You're right but it can come off as really avant garde and most people aren't into that I love the piano solo but sometime I just want to listen to the song without it

[@gutspuck721]

The whole song is an expression of feelings. It is storytelling of Yoshiki's experiences through life. The piano "mess" expresses his emotions. I was trying to listen it without the piano but I felt something was missing.

[@youssefanastas1773]

​@Χρυσή Πετρίδου Hey if its a fact, its a fact... "if you don't like it don't listen to it" thats why I listen to this edit not the original. "Why should someone hide their talent and abilities" I'm not the one who approved the radio edit which BTW is hiding their talent and abilities. "Do you really not have a life and instead you badmouth others who achieved great things you never will?" those guys were amazing entertainers yes, but can they do what I do for a living? no. Does that mean I am wrong? no. You are talking feelings when I am talking facts. If I rustled your jimmies by talking trash about your favorite artist, well too bad, its the internet "sweetheart"...

[@farhanasharmin8997]

Dude, why r u even here? The full version is also on KZbin

[@metalbeast8427]

Not here to shittalk anyone or anything but why tho. Expressing yourself is a big part of art so why take it out? While I do agree with the fact that the solo isnt the most clear or anything it sets a great mood and picture for the song and it expresses a lot of emotion through it. True it doesnt sound the most conventional but its still a good solo I started enjoying more and more throught listening to it multiple times.

[@LMC-xz6qh]

In my opinion, music should strive to be sonorically pleasant to the listener. Musical expression should have some kind of limit, by the means of producing pleasing or beautiful sounds, and dissonances are to be solved. While the piano solo does convey a powerful underlying message, it sounds like crap in the last 2 minutes. i think there's better ways to express anger, sadness, grief, sorrow, or the difficulties of life than just bashing keys on a keyboard. One perfect example is the guitar solo in the song The Best of Times, by Dream Theater. The song deals with the drummer's grief after the loss of his father, and the guitar solo is a perfect example of a musical passage which expresses grief, loss, sadness, and melancholy, but is also beautiful, and extremely pleasant. The piano solo in this song, however, is like making the perfect cake (because I LOVE the rest of the song) and then dousing the cake mix with liters of ketchup and mustard. It ruins the flow of the song, in my honest opinion. I love X Japan, and I adore this song. But that's the reason why I dislike the piano solo.

[@metalbeast8427]

​@@LMC-xz6qhI understand what you mean and I do agree. That's what music is supposed to be anyway right? But even so I find myself missing the solo if I listen to this version. True, the solo doesnt really sound too good in a musical sense, but I still enjoy it because its the expression of his emotion exactly as he wanted it. Yes he could take another aproach like you mentioned but this way was even more different it stood out even more and I honestly think it suits him as a person. I also give them props for being brave enough to send something that experimental out so there's that too. But at the end of the day everyone has their own taste/oppinion/obscurity thresholds and whatever else so to each their own. Cheers mate!
