Put simply, I find this arrange unexpected (I probably should have expected it). If I didn't look up the original, I probably wouldn't be able to recognize it. Actually, I can hardly pick up on it still, but considering I hardly listen to Voyage 1969 or its arranges, I guess it's understandable for me. King Aswad is the first fellow that I've heard sing English that I can easily pick up and understand within the Touhou realm (not counting fandubs). I'm sure there's been some other people that's done it as well but he's the first I've heard. Now that I look more into it, is it the same King Aswad? He has another song in the album, but I found it too repetitive for my personal tastes. Funk and R&B album (I think... I'm no good with genres). Can't say anything about recommending it since I haven't quite developed my taste in the genre. I had nothing for imagery other than some guy performing on stage. How boring is that? * * * Lyrics (I can attempt to add it via annotations if you like) I had a dream That I could be all I could be And I would travel overseas They would greet me as a king Then I would be given wings So the world could hear me sing Spread the joy that music brings Make my dreams come true Dragonflies and flying saucers All the things that you can think of When you close your eyes and use your mind Reaching with imagination Feel your heart beat inspiration Open up the window to your soul Now it's time to pick and choose Who I really want to be I'll pick and choose the better me Not for sheik or shape or shine But for strength spirit in mind through time Dreams come true Dragonflies and flying saucers All the things that you can think of when you close your eyes and use your mind Reaching with imagination Feel your heart beat inspiration Open up the window to your soul Perception, protection No question, my weapon The lesson, intellection Injection, imagination Dragonflies and flying saucers All the things that you can think of When you close your eyes and use your mind It will free your soul Dragonflies and flying saucers All the things that you can think of When you close your eyes and use your mind Reaching with imagination Feel your heart beat with inspiration Open up the window to your soul
