A bit of a typical pop ballad from 80s Japan. But I like world music, so thumbs up.

Interesting detour from the usual stuff, didn't know these guys.
Care to elaborate on that?
Nice demo. But the producer was right... the song became far more interesting and edgier with a dance arrangement, in place of the initial "bossa nova" style. And popularity is not the same as quality... but I don't see this one leading the rankings either, despite how enjoyable it is.
Late at een, drinking the wine,
Or early in a mornin,
The set a combat them between,
To fight it in the dawnin.
"O stay at hame, my noble lord!
O stay at hame, my marrow!
My cruel brother will you betray,
On the dowy houms o Yarrow."
"O fare ye weel, my lady gaye!
O fare ye weel, my Sarah!
For I maun gae, tho I neer return
Frae the dowy banks o Yarrow."
She kissd his cheek, she kaimed his hair,
As she had done before, O;
She belted on his noble brand,
An he's awa to Yarrow.
O he's gane up yon high, high hill -
I wat he gaed wi sorrow -
An in a den spied nine armd men,
I the dowy houms o Yarrow.
"O if ye come to drink the wine,
As ye hae doon before, O?
Or if ye come to wield the brand,
On the bonny banks o Yarrow?"
"I im no come to drink the wine,
As I hae doon before, O,
But I im come to wield the brand,
On the dowy houms o Yarrow."
Four he hurt, an five he slew,
On the dowy houms o Yarrow,
Till that stubborn knight came him behind,
An ran his body thorrow.
"Gae hame, gae hame, good-brother John,
An tell your sister Sarah
To come an lift her noble lord,
Who's sleepin sound on Yarrow."
"Yestreen I dreamd a dolefu dream;
I kend there wad be sorrow;
I dremd I pu'd the heather green,
On the dowy banks o Yarrow."
She gaed up yon high, high hill -
I wat she gaed wi sorrow -
An in a den spy'd nine dead men,
On the dowy houms o Yarrow.
She kissd his cheek, she kaimd his hair,
As oft she did before, O;
She drank the red blood frae him ran,
On the dowy houms o Yarrow.
"O haud your tongue, my douchter dear,
For what needs a' this sorrow?
I'll wed you on a better lord
Than him you lost on Yarrow."
"O haud your tongue, my father dear,
An dinna grieve your Sarah;
A better lord was never born
Than him I lost on Yarrow."
"Tak hame your ousen, take hame your kye,
For they hae bred our sorrow;
I wiss that they had a' gane mad
Whan they cam first to Yarrow."
The composition is a bit AI like to me. Is it yours?
The new orchestrated version is quite a lot better than this original. But its not from the '80s.
We could say that Love, in fact, has quite a lot of power.
Yes, she was a terrific singer. She even looks gorgeous in this performance too. No autotune, of course.
Its from a record of musical poems by the finnish composer, all of great beauty and strong allure.
Barbirolli and Hallé Orchestra did an outstanding job with Sibelius, this entire offering from the 60s is a gem and I believe any casual listener should be able to notice something interesting going on. The Karelia suite, for instance, finally has the proper tempo rubato for the work and truly makes justice to the music... other conductors, and orchestras, perform like a metronome at times. This is just one of the merits of the performance, but I think its very important with this composer.
Its always nice to discover good music, and a place like this, where you can share tunes with similar minded people, helps precisely with that.
The harp sounds are definitely special, but I'm very pleasantly surprised by the bass sound and tone achieved by this particular piece. The cartridge in the turntable also gives a lot of definition to the audio, but not to the point of being harsh. I think the first time I listened to this album back in the 80s, or 90s, it was recorded on standard casette... so there's quite a leap in quality this time around.
Indeed, thanks for the historical note Rolando. The lyrics in english are like this (deepl.com translation)
He walks on the street
Don't say where
His brain full of heavy metal
And his liver is dead
His veins are open
And smell like formalin
It's all very distressing
Like he is in Vienna
All of Vienna
Is on heroin today
All of Vienna
Dreams with Mozambin
All of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna
Also takes cocaine
In the ball season at all
You can see all of Vienna, Vienna, Vienna
Is so wonderfully there, there, there
Cocaine and codeine
Heroin and mozambine
Make us go, go, go
There, there, one, two, three
Cocaine and codeine
Heroin and mozambine
Make us go, go, go, go, go
Three, four

I've been listening to these guys since you posted their music a while ago. They're really good.
