Thanks Macsnob & BlackLily.
I was requested to re-record this song in English. The song came to me in Malay (very similar to Indonesian). It's a short base track written by Mustang_jp from Japan, so the idea of the song was very brief too. Pretty much remembering that "if the blue sky is there, our love is there. Sometimes there are clouds passing, but all I have to do is remember if there's blue sky, you'll always be there."
I wish some good lyricist would be able to write something for it. I'd be happy to break it down line by line. Let me know if you're interested in re-writing an English version.

basil81, thank you for your kind comments. I'd be happy to collaborate. I listened to your music. I love it a lot. I'd be happy to provide you with my vocal. I think especially this piece has a lot of your musical elements in it. The one thing that I'm bad with is, well two, I don't write lyrics well, and I don't arrange music well. My strength is mostly in vocal (various styles) and melody/harmony. Would be happy to collaborate. Email me!

Actually, I wonder if there's anyone out there who'd like to try to write the English Lyrics? You're welcome to do that.

Thx Mustang_jp.
Gonna see if I can turn that into English. I'll try.
And Junkyard Cutiepie, personally, I find creating harmony and vocal backups the most fun of all. smiley

Here's the translations:
Blue sky, our blue sky Blue sky, our blue sky When we're having fun Under the blue sky I feel so joyful Coz u you're by my side Sometimes The clouds of worries strike But I have you And I recall that I have... Blue sky, our blue sky Blue sky, our blue sky This is what I love What I love is this Suddenly Clouds of worries strike But I have you And I recall that I have... You. My love. I love you Look up at our blue sky Sweetie, no matter where you are As long as there's the sky Our love will be here forever

One the best ones here.
Hope you can be writing some track for vocals. I'd love to do the vocals for contemporary jazz stuff.

Uber Knacht,
Thanks for your comment. I actually recorded the vocal first.
It was suppose to just be that. But I thought having some beat would "westernizhed" it a bit, so that it won't be that raw.
But, I will definitely take your suggestion, and probably come up with a version that only has the vocals, with very simple and limited instrumentation. Thanks for listening.

Sounds good! I have downloaded the song, and I will get back with you after some vocals. I'm just sitting hear humming along with some scat singing, and then I realize you're asking to add vocal to it. I'll give it a try. And will send you the mix soon.

Love it. The mid-east loop has been used a lot, but I love what you did to it. Best one by far.

Thanks. The tone is what excites me the most. Even tho I'm Asian. Most ears are not accustomed to these type tones. It relates to chills and eeriness. The last five or six years, I have been exploring with more music that has those tone qualities. One of them is Tibetan chants, and the ringing over the overtone fascinated me a lot. That's when you do little rollover tongue technique to generate the overtone, like you're singing two tones at a time. That's what I was playing with in this piece. I started with just the chant, and ended up trying to mix it in with some techno beats to create a more edgy feel to the melody.
Call It Magic by Sky 7 years ago
Nice melody. Love it.
