愛してる - Tellement je t'aime (HOME OFFICE)

Here's my take at the japanese citypop genre, maybe my favorite genre ever (go check Taeko Ohnuki, ANRI and Momoko Kikuchi on youtube !).

After finding those chords (inspired by Miki Matsubara's Stay With Me) on my piano and my bass, I've play them with a rhythm on Noraus's Mellow Keys cause it has this perfect DX7 tone wich is a synth used a lot in late City Pop. Same for the 80s slap bass by Kyba, it has the exact timbre.

After finding a melody played by 3 synths to make a bigger sound, i've wrote some lyrics that follows the prosody of said melody. I've used the recording tool for singing with my cheap voice (it's the hidden samples), after a de-essing, I've used a natural signal, a compressed one and one going into delay/reverb. Besides the recordings, the only samples used are the Audiotool Ressource Collective - @Audio Resource Collective - ARK Drum Kit, after a tuning in E and B, snare and toms are going throught a gated reverb once and into a room send (emulating a room mic, reverb+comp+dist/exciter).

The finished signal is divided into a dry one and a heavily compressed one to give a hell of a lot of attacks and dynamics. Then, they go through a Quantum and an EQ for master.

Lyrics :

Avec la peur au fond des yeux

Je les vois s'éloigner

Et sans comprendre pourquoi

Verse : E7 - c#7+4 - E7 -c#13 - F#7 - c#7 -B7M

Tellement je t'aime, je pense à toi

Tellement je t'aime, je rêve de toi

Tellement je t'aime, passionnément

Tellement je t'aime, à la folie cependant

Tu n'es plus là, tu manques à moi

Tu n'es plus là, laissé.e.s aux abois

Tu es parti.e.s, je suis encore ici

Tu es parti.e.s, j'en suis abasourdi.e.s

Chorus : E7 - E°7 - d#7- g#7 - c#7 - c#°7- F7sus4- B7M

Les larmes au bord des yeux

Je te vois partir

Et ne t'retourne pas

Son'nani Itoshi teru

    Lyrics:

    With fear deep in your eyes

    I see them go away

    And without understanding why

    Verse:

    So much i love you, i think of you

    So much i love you, i dream of you

    So much i love you passionately

    So much i love you, madly however

    You are no longer there, I miss you

    You are no longer there, left at bay

    You left, I'm still here

    You left, I'm stunned

    Chorus:

    Tears at the edge of the eyes

    I see you go

    And don't turn around

    I'm trying so much

    You dream

    - Verse's bass slides slightly boosted

    - I was looking for a way to emulate the vinyl pitch shift like Solace said, but couldn't find any way to do it :/

    C'est toi qui chantes ? Ya un semblant de Nicolas Sirkis parfois dans la voix, dans le refrain surtout à vrai dire..
