Las mananitas lyrics piano guitar chords

I asked for the Copilot AI to write a Beatles song and create a name for a next Beatles album. The album was named "Sounds Of The Horizon" and the song was named "Under The Sun Of Eternity". Here's the lyrics:

(Verse 1) On the busy street, under the sun of eternity, We walked together, side by side, without rushing. Shadows dance around us, As the wind whispers ancient secrets. (Chorus) Oh, my love, how the stars shine tonight, Our hearts intertwined, like satin ribbons. Under the sun of eternity we found our home, In the soft melody that only the two of us know. (Verse 2) The cobblestone streets remind us of stories, From the times when we were young and fearless. The chords of a guitar echo on street corners, As our dreams intertwine like vines. (Chorus) Oh, my love, how the stars shine tonight, Our hearts intertwined, like satin ribbons. Under the sun of eternity we found our home, In the soft melody that only the two of us know. (Bridge) And when the rain falls, we dance without fear, Our footsteps mix with the water drops. Memories surround us like a warm hug, Under the sun of eternity, we are immortal. (Chorus) Oh, my love, how the stars shine tonight, Our hearts intertwined, like satin ribbons. Under the sun of eternity we found our home, In the soft melody that only the two of us know. (Outro) And so, we continue our journey, Under the sun of eternity, side by side. Our voices merge in harmony, Like a Beatles song that never gets old. 

You people are so contrarian in an attempt to seem sophisticated and it makes you look like fucking idiots sometimes. Saying that Billie Eilish is as boring and overrated as Taylor Swift is subjective, but it also tells me that you haven’t listened to either artist at all. You literally see a famous name on your phone get acclaimed for something, and then you go on RSPod and post “This person actually sucks” without listening to the music.
So I’ll do it for you. Two songs with the same title from the new Billie album and the new Taylor album. loml and L’Amour De Ma Vie
loml first impressions: Taylor’s lyrics are very sappy and generic, it’s like if white bread was music. I’ve never really heard any Swift songs but this is exactly what I expected it would be. The production is beyond bland, it’s like a child made it, and not a very talented one. The same piano chord over and over and over and over and then strings come in. It’s nothing. It’s so bare minimum.
L’Amour De Ma Vie: Billie’s vocals are already so much more interesting in the first ten seconds. More passion, more range. We’ve got some interesting guitar chords, a little piano. Cool baseline comes in. The lyrics aren’t much better than Taylor’s lyrics, they’re probably about the same level, very average. Oh, drums come in, it’s fun now. I feel something. This is great. The lyrics are more biting. It’s meaner than Taylor, also more exposed. This is just a lot of fun.
What is happening. Oh lmao, we’ve got a beat change, synth chords, autotune filtered vocals. This is so different but it’s awesome.
Yeah so go eat shit

I’m a beginner and sometimes learn new songs using youtube piano tutorials. Sometimes, the tutorial shows notes that line up with the vocals, which is not how the song is actually played on the piano. For example, the song “Control” by Zoe Wees (https://youtu.be/d0zyQPwTiUA?si=wDEHQQiRQKGqw3nz). In the tutorial, the notes line up with the vocals. I want to know the word for this type of tutorial so I can avoid it. I want to know the underlying notes/chords that the lyrics are sung over, I don’t want the notes to mirror the words because that is not how the song is actually played on piano. I hope this question makes sense. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, I hope all is well. Today we are going back to 1998 with the band’s sixth studio album titled Green. Specifically, we are going to be talking about the second song from the album “Get Up.”
“Get Up” was the album’s fourth and final single and had a music video directed Eric Darnell who would later co produce animated movies like Antz and Madagascar. To me, this song is the perfect combination of the band having fun while displaying thought provoking lyrics and great dynamics.
The song actually begins with the music of the chorus, minus the Michael’s vocals, only including Mike’s faints vocals. The tempo of the songs really cements the idea of getting up with its fast paced drum beat, fast electric chord changes and a killer bass line. You also have some guitar slides from Peter which add to the overall textures of the song.
When we get into the verse, Bill’s drumming is less forward and fits the stop and go rhythm from Peter’s guitar strumming. We also get some hand clap percussion every now and again which adds to the bubblegum pop soundscape of the song. At the end of each line that Michael sings, we get an additional vocal from Michael singing “get up, get up!” Now you may be wondering, why isn’t it Mike singing this part? While I’m sure it was deliberate, it fits the backstory to this song. Michael wrote this song about Mike, who at the time of this album’s record session, was sleeping in late every day. So this song was basically a call for Mike to get up and work on recording the album. Funny thing is that Mike didn’t find this out until the late 1990’s when Michael told the story before playing the song during a show.
Although I think there’s more to be said about this lyrics. Sure, in the verse they are pretty simple “sleep delays my life, where does the time go? I don’t know.” Someone is sleeping away their days. And after Michael sings “you’ve got all your life” you get Mike singing “way up ahead” which ends with him singing in a falsetto for the word “ahead.”
But when the band goes back into the chorus, I feel like Michael’s lyric could take on different meanings. When he sings “dreams they complicate my life” he could be singing about actual dreams you have when you are sleeping, or maybe even nightmares. But he could also mean dreams where you aspire to do or be something. And in that sense he might be saying that his dreaming is getting in his way. I just love how the different vocals over layered on top of each other in an almost dream state way. And I like how the band opened the song with the chorus because the chorus seems to be the person dreaming and the verses are someone telling this person to wake up. Plus the chorus ends with Peter’s slide guitar and the chorus progression seeming to climb higher and higher with Mike’s vocals as if someone is waking up from a deep sleep.
In the second verse we have Michael empathizing with this person by telling them that life is hard and how they see them laying down which is similar to what he sings in the chorus. He’s sings about not knowing where to turn to in life when you face challenges and I like this lyric because it’s extremely relatable to me.
After the second verse we get another chorus. And something else I wanted to point out is that after Michael sings “dreams they complicate my life” you have another vocal singing “dreams that complement my life.” I feel like this goes back to the theory of this song being about two different meaning of the word “dream.” People dream because it complements a life style they want to create for themselves. But if you can’t make your dreams come true then they can possibly ruin your life. I also feel like some of Michael’s vocal phrasing, especially in the verse, remind me of how he sings “Hairshirt” but with a lot more energy and faster overall. Both songs even usual a similar lyric with “my life.”
Now is the time we get to the bridge and it may be the weirdest bridge that the band had created up to this point in their career. The bridge is just a bunch of toy music boxes being played at the same time, backed by a kick drum that reminds me of a heart beat. The idea is this bridge actually comes from Bill who actually came up with the idea from a dream he had. I know this sounds too good to be true but it’s real! And as weird as it is, it works perfect for this song. The dissonance of the music boxes is kinda creepy sounding at first, but it definitely fits the theme of dreaming and sleeping.
Bill leads the band back into one last chorus with a decent drum fill. And this time around Michael sings “this time, no escape, I wake up” as is the person in this song realizes that they are sleeping their life away and now they are going to wake up and do something about it. That post chorus seems to last a little longer as the band builds and ascends as Michael sings another round of “get up, get up!”
And just like that, the song is done. In less than three minutes even! Although this song was one of the weaker singles commercially for the band up to this point, I think this is one of their best songs, especially on Green. It’s a song that’s short and to the point, but it has a lot of different ideas between the lyrics’ double meanings and interesting production choices. Michael’s energetic singing is top notch and it has everything I love in a R.E.M. song. If I had a chance to see the band live, I would have loved to have heard this one.
But what do you think about this song? Is it a stronger song from Green? What do you think the song is about? Favorite musical or lyrical moments? And did you ever catch it live?

Hello everyone, I hope all is well. Today we are going to be looking at “Rent A Cop” which is the eighth track from Ben’s 2006 release Supersunnyspeedgraphic, The LP.
This is an odd album because it’s basically a glorified compilation album. In 2003 and 2004, Ben started releasing these EP’s which consisted of original songs and covers. After fans started complaining about these songs not being in one place, Ben collected some of the songs, as well as a few others, and put them on this album which he named by putting all three names of the EPs together.
“Rent A Cop” originally was released on the 2004 EP titled Super D. It’s an interesting song because it’s a fun tune with a lot of humor, but I don’t see it mentioned much on here so I’m not sure how it’s perceived by fans. The song starts off with a drum fill and launches into the main part of the song. Ben’s playing this piano riff low on the piano in an upbeat feel that gives off a lot of energy. We are then hit with some weird robotic synths and some acoustic guitar which is always a welcomed thing in Ben’s music.
But to me, it’s the drums that really make this song. The pattern of the drum beat is addictive and really drives the song because when Ben starts singing, the piano and guitar drop out and it’s only Ben’s voice, bass and those rhythmic drums. Lyrically, this song is basically a precursor to the Kevin James movie Paul Blart as this song is about a mall cop. Ben sings through the perspective of a mall cop who exclaims that that it’s the best job in the world because he gets to “‘troll food courts for girls.” He assures us that the girls love him for his uniform and his “little mustache.”
Then this pervy cop explains how he can check out all the women in the mall because he’s wearing sunglasses. We also get the stereotypical lyric about cops and donuts as Ben sings “I whisper through my doughnut ‘Hey baby, baby light that ass on fire.’” It’s a corny line but it fits the personality of this “cop” and I love how musically you can hear the guitar and synths in between each verse.
We then get to the chorus where this cop seems to hate his job. He’s counting down the hours until he can clock out and complains about how he’s all alone in this big mall. If this song took place today then this mall cop would really feel all alone. I love how Ben’s vocals are a little bit louder and fuller during the chorus and right after the chorus we get these horns that really shine in the song.
The second verse sees this mall cop explaining to a kid that he’s not equipped with a gun. And how he doesn’t “get paid enough to run.” Which must lead into some type of argument with this kid because our mall copy says “so you can call me what you want but I'll be hanging at the check out, checking out your girlfriend. Figure out how she's going to fit all of that butt into that underwear.” Is this one of Ben’s worst lyrics? It’s definitely possible. But Ben is singing this song through a character and the way he’s singing (especially with the “yeahs” after each verse) is really selling the whole thing.
We get some different lyrics for the second chorus. This time Ben, or should I say this “rent a cop”, is flirting with this girl at the mall and tells her that he can help her find where she parked her daddy’s car.
Then we get to the bridge of this song which begins with this awesome drop out where it’s only the drums. I wouldn’t call it a drum solo but there’s definitely additional percussion going on and it sounds massive. But when the piano and horns enter back into the mix it sounds like we get some sort of modulation or key change. The horns are playing these longer notes and Ben’s piano playing is more bluesy. He eventually returns to that opening piano riff but played a couple octaves up. Then the horns really go crazy and start playing the riff as well! The bridge is extremely musical and gets my head nodding every time.
We return to the chorus where the mall cop is waiting until it’s “Miller time” which is basically beer o’clock. Then we get this outro which starts with a percussive sounding acoustic guitar which is eventually swapped out for that funky sounding synth keyboard lead. We get more boisterous sounding drums and those jazzy horns. Each instrument gets a turn to solo and shine, all the while Ben sings “I whisper through my doughnut, hey baby light that ass on fire.” The song eventually ends with a drum outro until you can hear Ben in the studio say “alright that’s good.”
Is this one of Ben’s masterpieces? No, I’m not sure anyone would think that. But I do feel like this song may get overlooked. Yeah, lyrically the song is over the top goofy and this mall cop character is a sleaze bag. But Ben’s vocal delivery really sells the character and it’s not meant to be a “deep” song. Besides, the music of this song is one of Ben’s more lively pieces of music with a full band. Not in a fast or “punk” type of way, but more in a dynamic “big band” sort of way. I wish he toured with horns. What’s cool is that during Covid lockdown when Ben was doing livestreams in his apartment, he played a bit of this song on guitar. Which makes me curious if he wrote this song originally on guitar. You can check it out in this video below:
https://www.youtube.com/live/Riu1A6PPW0M?si=qRytGct3xmnITIG6
But what do you think of this more obscure song? Do you feel like it deserves more love? What do you think the song is about? Favorite lyrical or musical moments? And have you ever seen it live?

A few nights ago I had a really messed up nightmare where there was a lot of death and destruction. After a bunch of it unfolded, I could hear this rock song playing. The song played for a while and when I woke up, I was able to write all of the instrumental parts down but struggled to remember the most of the lyrics. I feel like this song already exists or might be a cover from one. I have 5 friends with me that all say the same thing but no one can figure it out.
I couldn't figure out the time signature but it almost sounded like 3/4 followed by 5/4 for a total of 8 measures. The first two measures were D, then F, then Bb, then an A to G change.
The guitar sounded "chuggy" with a little distortion with heavy accents on the first strum of each measure with the rest of the strums palm muted.
The bass was pretty straight forward with turns up and down at the end of the 5/4 measures.
The drums were more tribal sounding with Tom's with a little bit of cymbals at the end of cord changes.
The lyrics I could remember were "cut you down to size, gonna cut you down to size." They were syncopated but I don't know if they are part of an actual song.
I found a piano and recorded the guitar part best I could with the rythem and cord changes.
I am calling on them members of reddit to help me solve this since it has driven us nuts for 3 days. We have tried soundhound, Shazam, and a bunch of other music finding searches to no avail. Please add any ideas you have or possibilities of songs it could be.

So, I've been around guitars for years, was a tech on the road with various bands, etc. Recently (-3 months) started actually trying to play. My partner plays bass, and is one of those people who can pretty much play anything (bass, lead, flute, a few classical instruments). I already play piano, violin, and sing.
I have been learning quite casually, but my focus, when I have time for a focus has been:

• Learning the fretboard
• Stuff like CAGED, chord patterns
• Quite a lot of playing actual stuff I like to stay interested
• A good dollop of music theory, which I find really interesting, perhaps unusually.

Question is, my partner, although not saying so, seems to think I'm somehow doing this wrong - although this is just the vibe I'm getting - things like slightly aloof sounding "ok"s and so on in response to what I'm doing.
It sounds pretty sensible to me - learn where the notes are, some patterns, play a few tunes, apply some theory.
Anyone think it sounds like there's more/other things to focus on instead?

Hey everyone, I am a retired musician, looking to jam and have fun only. No interest in public performances. My experience is intermediate to advanced, notation and chord chart reading. I play Piano, guitar, drums, bass guitar, vocals. Any genre. I’m Available M,Tu,F 4-7pm.

I’m 17, I kinda suck at music lol. But my mom is an artist so If I wanted to, I’m sure I could draw very well as I can see whatever I want in hyper realism in my mind and manipulate it how I want before putting it on paper. This is probably a pretty common ability, but I was curious if this is something that you do with music too.
I can hear already made songs play in my mind just fine, but it’s a lot harder to just create music entirely in my head than it is for me to create images. It’s like I’m making individual tracks without any real anchor and forget about hearing two notes at the same time lol.
But if I’m playing chords on piano or guitar, melodies tend to just come to me in my head without needing to manipulate notes one at a time, and sometimes I hear full chords I want to play but can’t bc I don’t know the instrument well enough and by the time I get past playing the first note of the chord, I can’t hear it in my head anymore.
Sorry about the rant, it’s just something I’ve been thinking about for years.

For a year, I’ve been writing songs so easily. Ideas came, lyrics came, I can compare myself to the musicians I’ve admired so much.
I loved the musicians I admired because they always almost articulated what I felt almost exactly, I saw that what you can do with music is great and started learning guitar.
At the beginning I felt like I was forcing it, but then the songs just wrote itself.
For months I’d just have so many amazing ideas and write write, the melodies came with ease, the chord progressions, the lyrics, the ideas.
Nowadays, I can’t do anything. I try so hard but I feel insanely stuck. There’s nothing to say, no melody, I feel like “I’ve said it all.”
I need to write a song because man, without a song it’s not my job, but it makes me feel like, purposeful, like I’ve achieved something that I need to achieve.
I feel like I’ve lost it, I used to write like two to three songs a day at some point. Now everything I write I just hate because I’m forcing the lyrics rather than letting just happen, it feels always like “the same old crap”, and I hate it.
Did I lose it? I had like 60 songs in 7 months and they all were amazing. I loved them personally.
Now it just ain’t it whatsoever man. No real ideas, no melody no nothing. It’s so directionless and almost pointless to try because it doesn’t feel right.

Figured a single post would be better than annoying everyone with a series of 'em, so here you go. List is newest to oldest.
Fair warning: Absurdist Humor & Satire are my bread and butter, but I make "real" stuff on rare occasions too. It's all just a creative outlet for the vitriol that builds up in my system over the work week. Let me have my fun.

The Guess Who - Running Back Thru Canada Live in Winnipeg June 30, 2000 Canwest Global Park Winnipeg MB CA *** Enjoy the full concert FREE @ https://bit.ly/guesswhorunningbackthrucanada *** A Hometown Throwdown Live in the Heart of the Nation by R. Dale Roth 2024-05-18
At the end of June in the summer of 2000, Canadian rock royalty, The Guess Who, stopped Running Back Thru Canada smack dab in the middle of the nation, just long enough to unleash a massive sonic super storm on the band's hometown of Winnipeg.
Under a prairie sky ablaze with the setting sun, Winnipeg's favorite sons, The Guess Who, returned to the heart of their homeland for a concert that resonated with the pride and passion of a nation. Canwest Global Park, a baseball diamond transformed into a rock 'n' roll cathedral, became the epicenter of a musical pilgrimage for fans who had followed the band's journey from local heroes to international icons.
The air crackled with anticipation as the stadium lights illuminated the stage, revealing a backdrop steeped in history: vintage amps that had witnessed countless jam sessions, a drum kit weathered by years on the road, and an unmistakable sense of homecoming. The crowd, a sea of red and white, erupted in a chorus of cheers as the band emerged, their faces beaming with the joy of playing for their hometown faithful.
From the opening chords, it was clear that this was no ordinary concert. It was a communion between a band and its people, a celebration of shared memories and a testament to the enduring power of music to connect and inspire. Burton Cummings, his voice as strong and soulful as ever, poured his heart into every lyric, his every gesture a tribute to the city that had nurtured his talent.
Original guitarist Randy Bachman, a hometown hero in his own right, unleashed a torrent of electrifying riffs, his fingers dancing across the fretboard with the ease and confidence of a seasoned veteran. The rhythm section, a well-oiled machine, provided the driving beat that propelled the music forward, while the keyboards added a touch of psychedelic magic.
As the night unfolded, The Guess Who revisited their greatest hits, each song a cherished memory brought to life. The crowd sang along with every word, their voices blending in a harmonious chorus that echoed throughout the stadium. Cummings, visibly moved by the outpouring of affection, shared anecdotes and reflections on his lifelong love affair with Winnipeg, his words resonating with the deep sense of belonging that permeated the atmosphere.
The stage setup, while simple, was imbued with a sense of history and authenticity. The lighting, a kaleidoscope of colors and patterns, transformed the stage into a living canvas, enhancing the emotional impact of each song. The sound, crisp and powerful, ensured that every note reached every corner of the stadium, creating an immersive experience that transcended the physical space.
As the concert reached its crescendo, The Guess Who unleashed a barrage of their most beloved anthems, the crowd responding with an outpouring of unbridled enthusiasm. The final encore, a heartfelt rendition of a song that has become synonymous with Canadian identity, brought tears to many eyes, a testament to the power of music to evoke deep emotions and forge lasting bonds.
The Guess Who's homecoming concert was more than just a performance; it was a celebration of the unbreakable ties that bind a band to its roots, a reminder that home is where the heart is, and that the music born from that connection has the power to transcend time and touch the souls of generations to come.

I think I already know the answer to this but I just need some confirmation.
I'm an intermediate classical pianist, my technical and aural abilities I would say are my weakest and my reading, theory and memory are my strongest. This means that I'm more comfortable slowly learning a piece through the score and once it's almost at performance quality I start memorizing, obviously this takes several weeks for pieces at my level.
Like many people, I also enjoy popular songs and whenever I tried learning them my approach has been (instead of learning by ear or with chord/lyric charts) buying the official piano/vocal/guitar book and start learning the song like if it was a classical piece. I quickly find out the the arrangements are harder then I thought (beautiful and very well written nontheless) and I know I can learn them but it would take me several weeks and it would also be very hard to play them at tempo because they often involve lots of chord changes in the RH while playing the melody at the same time. Even if I manage to learn them, my brain is at full capacity and just the thought of singing on top of it is impossible, let alone play along with a singer friend.
After much thought I think I am better off learning these songs like if they were jazz Standards. Treat the music books like lead sheets (just memorize the chord symbols and the melody) and slowly start adding my own flavor of improvisation and voicings on top, I am in the process of learning jazz so in a few months I'll be able to do it.
I feel like this way I'll be able to play these songs much sooner and it won't take much of my brain capacity because I'll be limited by my own technical and improvisation ability anyway, leaving lots of room for singing or even transposing to other keys. I guess bottom line is, these songs should be learned aurally instead of by rote memorization. Any thoughts?

I think I already know the answer to this but I just need some confirmation.
I'm an intermediate classical pianist, my technical and aural abilities I would say are my weakest and my reading, theory and memory are my strongest. This means that I'm more comfortable slowly learning a piece through the score and once it's almost at performance quality I start memorizing, obviously this takes several weeks for pieces at my level.
Like many people, I also enjoy popular songs and whenever I tried learning them my approach has been (instead of learning by ear or with chord/lyric charts) buying the official piano/vocal/guitar book and start learning the song like if it was a classical piece. I quickly find out the the arrangements are harder then I thought (beautiful and very well written nontheless) and I know I can learn them but it would take me several weeks and it would also be very hard to play them at tempo because they often involve lots of chord changes in the RH while playing the melody at the same time. Even if I manage to learn them, my brain is at full capacity and just the thought of singing on top of it is impossible, let alone play along with a singer friend.

I will say from the outset that I wasn't one of those people who was enthralled to hear Nirvana or Eric Clapton go Unplugged. None of my favorite albums are MTV Unplugged albums, and, by the time Alanis Morressette came out with both an Unplugged album in 1999 and Jagged Little Pill Acoustic in 2005, the trend had truly jumped the shark.
That said, going acoustic, live or otherwise, can often be a good thing. Alice In Chains would not have the same reputation they have today had they not released their half-acoustic EPs and MTV Unplugged. The live performances often have priceless musical and patter ad libs that wouldn't happen between amplified rockers. And older artists coming out with acoustic versions of their old hits - like the version of "Overkill" featured on Scrubs - often improve them, adding emotion, reframing tone, and underscoring lyrics.
More than anything, though, acoustic versions are more timeless and appealing to the masses (for good and ill). Among the three most important people in my life, one can't stand synthesized 80s songs, another can't stand rock, and the third doesn't like anything that sounds like it was recorded in the last 45 years. I find myself scouring YouTube, hoping for acoustic versions of songs I love but can otherwise not share with them. With the pandemic, more appeared, especially 80s hits, redone with a nuance and bittersweetness they might have lacked when the artists were young.
And, of course, like anything else, they don't erase the originals. The acoustic "Layla" may have eclipsed the original for a few years in the 90s, but the original still remains - ultimately getting more Spotify streams and radio play overall.
Todd may hate "white guy with a guitar," but I'd like to see more of it, at least among more seasoned musicians. (I am not counting slowed-down acoustic versions of hard rockers here, which more often seem to be "white girl with a piano," and are definitely a different - to me more gimmicky - story.)

I've been playing piano off and on for my whole life but have had very little professional training and though I've taught myself a lot I feel like I hit a wall with my playing. Are there any exercises aside from scales that I would do or finger variations when playing chords (like finger plucking exercises for the guitar?)

(This song's existing tab was incomplete and lacked a number of instruments, so I chose to rewrite it from the ground up.)
"I'm Your Daddy" is the second track from Weezer's oft-panned 2009 album, Raditude. While I also agree that this is one of Weezer's weakest albums, there are still a few tracks on it that I do not mind listening to, of which "I'm Your Daddy" is one. It's lyrical choice is peculiar—you won't catch me singing this one out loud—but I can appreciate how high-energy it is, and its power-poppy feel reminds me of a number of tracks that I like from Hurley (2010) for their similar high-octane vibes, including "Ruling Me" and "Brave New World".
Overall, the track's composition is on the simpler side of Weezer tracks, featuring guitars that stay distorted for all of the song, as well as bass, drums, vocals, and synth. The song is power-chord heavy with a simple drumbeat and repeating chord progressions. The only difficult part was the bridge, wherein the distortion initially led me to mishear which notes were being played; in this case, viewing "live" performances of the song helped the notes come through more clearly. (I say "live" because it was evident most of these performances were just Weezer pretending to play along to a prerecorded instrumental track that, for some reason, sounded clearer than the album version.)

Introduction: Hey guys what is up? Finals are finished and I am back on another adventure listening to some Bandori music! I’m gonna make a quick announcement on what is coming since I had to push my reddit posts behind due to finals. Here are lists of things I will be reacting over the summer:
- Reacting to Morfonica’s 6th Single
- Reacting to Ave Mujica’s EP Album + My Honest Opinion About Them
- My Top 15 Worst Cover Songs of 2023
- Reacting to Roselia’s 3rd Album
- Reacting to Raise A Suilen’s 2nd Album
- Reacting to MyGo!!!’s 5th Single
And with that, we are going to be reacting Afterglow’s album “Our Unforgettable Days.” I have been so excited to share my reaction with this one. And because of their recent works have been so good, given all the time I needed to listen from their 2nd album makes their innovative qualities shine than ever! I can’t tell you enough how Afterglow has grown so much as an artist over the years and I am very grateful I am sitting down, and ready to listen to an iconic legend, the one and only Ran Mitake! So let’s dive into this reaction.
Brilliant 🌟: I cannot believe this song was a 28, a weird but stubborn one to get full combo of course. I remember this song came out as a single prior to the album and I loved it on my initial listen. Since it’s the first song playing, I don’t know what to expect other than knowing it serves as an opening track of the album. I found that song to be very lively, charming, wonderfully harmonizing, and quite festive fun in a way. Moca’s guitar solo was fantastic all throughout the bridge and Himari’s bass was pretty lit in parts of the verses or in between moments Ran wasn’t singing. It was perfectly balanced with the instrumentals and is very fun to dance and swing your body as you listen to it. Surprisingly this is one of Afterglow’s shortest songs; I thought it would have been a little longer. So this song is about going against all odds and being able to escape from her negative thoughts being projected on her from those that are putting her down. She could also be referring to someone she happened to be bothered by for the longest time and it just feels like it could not stop because the memories keep coming back. In most of the lyrics, the sun is often depicted as bright, happy, and sometimes it’s delivered in a negative connotation to describe the feeling when it burns your skin, and how something makes your blood boil whenever a heated argument is established; quite clever and a bit sarcastic in a way. The sound is happier while the lyrics are more resentful and bitter. So in reality, she wants to move on and begin something different for a change. Overall, I love this song and it is a top 10 of my favorite Afterglow songs.
That’s Why I’m Here 🌟: This song started out a little bit slow but it got somewhere quickly and was intrigued by this one especially, even from the game version too. I don’t seem to care for the key change in the main chorus but I guess they wanted the audience to cheer up and I understand where they are coming from. The story kind of pisses me off to be honest. Ran really said she had thoughts about disbanding the group which puts a huge toll on the group. I know Afterglow is getting older now and sometimes being a part of something doesn’t always last. Now in life, let’s be for real here – nothing lasts forever (says Yae Miko from Genshin (also the JP VA of Ran Mitake)). People do come and go, and it’s easy for many people to let go others as life goes on. But for some, it’s hard to let go of those who are most valuable and irreplaceable to you. I just remember when Moca was playing her somber guitar solos; I just felt chills crawling deeply under my skin. I felt their pain and sadness, even in Ran’s basic 5* card and Moca’s herself, seeing her cry tells me so much more of what she is going through as well as everyone else. Though it might be something Ran have considered, nothing isn’t going to stop from ever wanting to play music and that’s why Ran’s here to show her support for the group no matter where life takes them. Not everyone will meet at the same time or the same place, but no matter what the group is still here for one another. So with the entirety of the song, I enjoyed it. It was a little slow for me to engage at first but it gets better in the end. Overall, this is one of my favorite songs!
Ignite Glow 🌟: So I have reacted to this song from my other reddit post almost a year ago and all I can say I enjoyed this song as it is a top 5 on my favorite Afterglow songs. I will share my initial thoughts down below about it from my previous post.

• “I was a little skeptical listening to the game version at first because I thought this song just didn't felt like Afterglow enough. But that came to change when the full came out and I could not believe my eyes of what I heard. I absolutely love the flow throughout the entire song; it kept me in tune with a lot of musical features that really throw me in. It was relaxing to hear but at the same time it's gotten me hyped amongst the sass and the power each member had. I loved the "woah~ oh~ oh~" part in the middle of the main chorus intertwining with Tomoe's drumming and Moca's badass guitar playing complimenting it. Parts of the song has a little bit of "One Of Us," "Easy Come, Easy Go," and "I Love Your Way" in the mix which is a nice contrast to make a song so attractive. This song also gave me an actual anime opening vibe; maybe for an action-based anime or rom-com or horror anime as well. I could totally see that in a way for each genre. There isn't really much critiques I could go off of but maybe a little more projection with the vocals, and a little more heavier instrumental; I need more of Himari's bass in this one too. Overall, "Ignite Glow" is absolutely one of my favorite top 5 songs I have heard from Afterglow. I really really like this song; I could not stop putting this song on repeat. It's got meaning and fiery spice like chili peppers catching on fire. This is undoubtedly one of the best songs I have ever listen to from Afterglow.”

Yup you heard me right; one of my favorite songs ever! I didn’t get a chance to explore the lyrical content other than focusing on the sound, I will tell you based on my understanding; “Ignite Flow” is about enjoying moments and never backing down on anything that persists. Like I said, this song was like eating chili peppers on fire. She is passionate of her work as well as bringing the band closer together. She really did break a leg on stage, embracing her true feelings that she’s not afraid to go after anything other than just dreams but to show her true self and let the story unfold. You can tell in the lyrics, Ran is upset and is very determined The night is still forever young, just enjoy life, never take life too seriously or that’ll drain out the fun you’ll miss out on. It is her own story to share; she is allowed to be vulnerable and authentic sharing her feelings of frustrations.
Petrichor Ovation: Beautifully written song, always being able to support people you love dearest. That crazy guitar solo plus the rift coming right before the bridge, I was real impress with Moca and her innovative technicalities. She’s like fighting her feelings away from the teary rain. The piano twinkling from Tsugumi imitates the sound raindrops falling after when a long heavy rainstorm begins to go away. The main chorus is alright and the back vocals were quite beautiful in parts of the passage. I’ll be for real when I saw the cards for this set; it really took my breath away. It’s not something I normally see from Afterglow, especially with all the neon greenish blue lights twinkling alongside with the rain; they are very cool cards, I would love to have them one day. Following up with meaning of this song, it’s definitely about finding comfort and confide in one’s space whenever you are feeling lonely or frustrated with the struggles persisting in your life. Lyrically, this song reminds me of MyGo!!!. A lot of their songs evoke sadness and frustration when describing a gloomy weather. In one of their songs “Refrain” evocates this feeling whenever self-reflection is needed. The rain and the cloudy weather not only makes it depressing to think a lot on ourselves but it also makes us think about life before and after. But when the rain goes away, it symbolizes the care and love Ran has for her friends who she never stop thinking about as they are her closest group and peers that thinks for each other. We don’t always see Ran hitting her weak spots at time but the emotion, the sentiment, and kindness being displayed shows that she is bitter on the outside but sweet on the outside. The ending of the song kind of feels like your escaping from the pain, and once the song ends, there’s definitely a way out by overcoming those intensive thoughts and emotions. Overall, I enjoyed hearing this one, however it kind of lacks a wow factor for me, not a favorite sound wise but still very nice to listen to.
Made My Day 🌟: This was another song that was released separately from the other singles since last summer. It is a favorite and is on my top 10 favorite Afterglow songs. I will leave my initial thoughts from my previous post down below:

• “I actually liked the game version on my initial listen. It's quite chill and it does tie down a little bit of Afterglow's older roots in a more mature setting. I'm impressed with the long, fast-paced drumming Tomoe applied throughout the verses; it does give me a little bit of "Sensenfukoku" vibes as well. I really liked Tsugumi's piano solo prior to the third main chorus. Himari's bass really compliments with Moca's guitar playing very well. I loved more of Ran's vocals on this song more as it is subtle and quite powerful at the same time. From start to finish, it has such a dynamic flow throughout. The lyrics are kinda sweet actually as from what I understand about the song is to enjoy the moment while it lasts. I could tell this song could have sentimental value and reflection based upon Ran's passed actions as a musical artist. I think she has really grown and really connected with her friends and music for the better. She's enjoying herself while being free-spirited and carefree while shutting out negativity that has evaded her life. I could definitely see myself relating to this song more, having a good moment without being overshadowed by people's bad influences is what makes reality more merrier than ever. If you ever feel sad and down, talk to somebody who you can trust and find inner healing to bring out the happiness in you. Sometimes, miracles can happen and that will make your day shine bright! It is also a bit sad and nostalgic in a way, it is definitely not a song I would want to listen to all the time but it is actually a favorite of mines, considering the meaning behind it and the sentimental value it has to bring to the floor. I would definitely put this one somewhere among the top 10 Afterglow songs for me personally.”

I don’t think I would trade this song for anything; it serves as a great apotheosis to the album as well as the sentimental feeling behind it serves as a red bow to finish it off. It does tend to sound a little similar to their previous track “Petrichor Ovation” but this has more of a wow factor in terms of sound. What a great song to end an album. The lyrics have always been wholesome as well as the sound too. Overall, a favorite on my 2nd listen! Literally, Ran really made my day feel great!
Conclusion: Holy cow, what a freaking reaction! We’ve made it top to bottom with this review and I got to say this was one of the best Afterglow albums I have ever listened to! You know much has changed with Afterglow; they are skyrocketing higher than ever before. Getting to know them all throughout their stories, it’s been real tough on them and seeing each and everyone grow as a band puts a lot of respect for their name and reputation. No matter what the journey may be, they are still best friends in the end. They have been through thick and thin and it’s now time to put out something bigger than ever before. Their growth in music has matured a lot recently and that’s why they kind grew on me as an artist so I kind of relate to their music more. Ran, Himari, Tomoe, Tsugumi, and Moca have always been incredible bandmates all throughout the years and just can’t believe how much time has pass for them. They have improved and grown so much so I’m really grateful I got to be a part audience while appreciating their music. The only thing I would change about this album is the order of the songs, except for “Made My Day;” it made sense for a reason. But yes, this was a wonderful album of course and I do look forward to their new songs “A Sunset So Bright” and “Glowing After” in the future. Let me know what your favorite songs off of this album are. Did you enjoy it and what are some songs that were a first love on your initial listen? Thank you for your time and I will see you in my next reddit post! Here are my favorites!

I've always been a music lover, I play the piano a bit, I love to sing, I also love to write in my free time.
It never occurred to me to try making my own music until my friend pointed out that I have all of these 'talents' that I never actually use and recommend I try my hand at songwriting and music production...
I would love to start but I know absolutely nothing about any of it. I can write lyrics, I can play around with my keyboard, but I wouldnt be able to tell you anything about chords, I play the piano but I can't read music, I have a ukulele that I don't know how to play, I have no idea what equipment to use, what softwares, etc... Should I even bother?

I need more songs that are high energy like eurobeat. I've listened to every single song of eurobeat, my spotify top 100 is 90% Eurobeat. I usually always listen to songs that are only instrumental, 30% of eurobeat songs I listen to are because of lyrics and 70% other are because the instrumental parts, pretty much anywhere 20-40seconds into a eurobeat song. The only songs with lyrics that arent eurobeat that I like is if their voice is kind of weird, like Black Out-overload.
The only eurobeat song that I find perfect for me is You're gonna be. I like the voice, and its so fucking catchy. The riff is the best thing ive ever heard.
Songs that I like alot that arent eurobeat: Linked Horizon - Guren no Yumiya, Gats, gatsu, guts theme from berserk 1997, Forces from berserk 1997, Yosuf - Clen(hardstyle I only like it bc of melody), Goukisan - Guitar vs. Piano 1.2, Goukisan - Betrayal of Fate, Goukisan - Betrayal of Fear, Dimrain47 - Forsaken Neon, Dimrain47 - Surface, Nighthawk22 - Isolation, Max Coveri - One More Time(lyrics/instrument), Yugere no Tori (Weird voice!!! Love this one)
Anyone else listen to only eurobeat? Or listen to any of the songs i listed? I never noticed until now that pretty much all my favorite songs are from animes lol. When I was new to eurobeat I thought all songs were 10/10 but I slowly started getting more picky.
