CJones posted... Fun Fact, Wintersun started out as just one guy, Jari Menp, from Finland. He wrote everything and performed everything, except the drums. He used a programmable drum machine for drums. Which kinda explains why the drumming is so over the top. He was not restricted by the need for a person to be physically capable of doing it :P That is a fun fact! Honestly, knowing that someone isn't playing it themselves, makes it a bit more endearing. I feel like "I can't actually play the drums, but I got a machine to do this cool thing!" is kind of a cute story, honestly. - Two more songs to end the night. I had hoped to do more, but some stuff came up in real life and set me back two hours & I decided to spend way too much time trying to get lyrics for this first elimination. - =============== ???: Hoshino Meguri -MegRi- | Tears of marionette (4:36) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx-nqlENMbc Nominator: @UF8 [13 songs remaining] Initial Score: 57.334 Final Score: 57.334 (First Reaction: I'm not having any luck finding any lyrics for this one, so I can't try to comment on the story being told here. Without any context, I'd say that I kinda like this song? It has a great title and she has a fairly cute voice, but I don't think the song is enough of a banger that it works without the context of the lyrics. I'll see if I can figure something out by the time for the Revised Score. I could try taking pictures of the subtitles and translate those if nothing else, that's just not something I have time for at the moment.) This is very time consuming and not going to work, but struggling to take pictures of the lyrics with Google Lens gives the following: "The wind sings tree-lined road girl dreams" ...Well that didn't work. Trying again, I manage to get a better picture of the text: "A tree-lined road where the wind sings, a girl dreams" Now that's a sentence. So this does work, sorta. If I manage to get a good enough picture... This is a terrible plan. "Her skin is white like porcelain and her eyes are a heavy color. In the depths of the play, the beloved doll is waiting for her master" And then I botch trying to get pictures and I'm four lines behind & need to start this entire process over. It wouldn't be so bad if YouTube would hide the bloody user interface while a video is paused, but they do, so it's impossible to get the text while the vid is paused. I have to hold the phone camera steady, at an angle where it can pick up the text, while watching the video to see when the subtitles change, while keeping one hand ready to pause the video the moment the picture is taken so that I can read & transcribe the photo without the video playing without me. I have never made it to the fourth line of text. ...Oh hey, if I put it in theater mode, then the text winds up displayed below the progress bar so I can screenshot it! Yay! (Of course the text varies wildly depending on how good of an angle I get on it. My new translation says her eyes are yellow. And now instead of waiting in the depths of play, she's waiting in a mansion.) Pursuing that beautiful illusion that fades into haze ...well, I'm going to say that I botched the picture on that one, though I will say that I would totally listen to an album titled "Be guided, dream monkey". Okay, resuming from the botched line: In a dream while being guided Okay, I know these lyrics are not even remotely correct. Machine translation is spotty at best, my hands won't stop shaking long enough to get good pictures, and I'd rarely get the same line twice ("What she chooses" was once translated as "There's a girl, sir" when my hand was shaking way too much). Still, you can't say that I didn't try to make every attempt at getting some type of lyrics for the song. Sadly, I think the only line I liked was the incredibly broken one about the dream monkey which is very much not the right lyric. With the lyrics failing to add anything to the song, I find my opinion remarkably unchanged. This still feels like a 57 point song & 57.334 conveniently slots it into the list exactly where I want to to be. Well. That was a bit of a waste of time, but I at least I know I persevered and did something, even if was stupid. That's... something. =============== -continued- --- Call me Luce when I'm on this account; or don't. Enjoy your freedom.. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
