From Tasukete. This is an updated remaster that I did recently. The album version on bandcamp has been updated with this version (because its better).

The title track from Tasukete is one of my favorite tracks that I've done so far. It's so stripped down compared to the rest of the album and it was made incredibly quickly. I had a short amount of time before I had to leave for work so I rushed this as fast as possible. The vocals were actually supposed to be the demo take, but I ended up liking them so much, I left them in.

This is a Vital lead track, all the synth work is Vital. Beat was made in FL Studio and had minor reverb applied. My first and one of two beats I've done with no distortion added (see Brother on this album for a typical back beat for me).

Everything here was recorded by yours truly. There's one thunder stock sound effect in the beginning and end, but the rest of the rain and thunder are my own. Japanese was taken from Google Translate, but edited to be slower and lower pitched.

Lyrics:

i sometimes can't help it

feeling this way.

it's a part of me

that refuses to go away.

tasukete.

is no one listening?

perhaps if i'm a little louder

perhaps if i scream.

maybe this isn't real

maybe this is a dream.

tasukete.

am I coming through clear?

15 years of doing this

with nothing to show.

god, I wish I could stop.

but what else have I got?
