Lyrics: Look out today, at the city scape, Everything stands unchanged, So why is it, to my tired eyes, That it all looks so different now? Could the color of all the lies, I told myself, Still be staining this shirt that Im wearing now, What have I protected, throughout all this time? I wanna be... Hopeful, throughout the ages, Holding on fast to the many dreams I have, If I can do this, just this one small thing, Then I can walk with my head held high! I wanna be... Free from all of my lies now Recalling our promise, from long ago, "Everything is well" Tomorrow I know this will ring true! In this old town that Remains unchanged by the passage of time The shimm'ring heat, of the city's street Still lingers in my mind But as I try, to reach for it, I stumble and am lead astray From those simple summer days We'd idly laze With nothing but cans of cheap coffee and Our hopes for the future, held within our hands I wanna be... Selfish, doing what I want Fighting and then hurting, now separated This feeling I cant Seem to understand Just keeps on quivering inside my heart! I wanna be... Fading, a passing shadow Meeting and then parting, Such painful sorrow, Yet understanding, Im getting better at living life! I wanna be... Hopeful, throughout the ages, Holding on fast to the many dreams I have, If I can do this, just this one small thing, Then I can walk with my head held high! I wanna be... Free, from all of my lies now, Recalling our promise, from long ago, "Everything is well" Tomorrow I know this will ring true! In this old town that Remains unchanged by the passage of time, We are the ones that have changed!
Thank you ^_^! I am planning to do OP4 for my next Gintama cover, but OP3 is definitely on my to-do list. Gintama has too many good songs... hard to decide what order I should go in, lol.
For one odd reason or another there isn't a lot if covers for most of Gintama's theme songs, including this one. I'm glad you were brave enough to try, and you did wonderful job interpreting it; much less as the full version.
Yes!!! I feel there is a woeful lack of English Gintama song covers out there considering how many songs there are. Like, there's of course the OPs and EDs for the main series. But, there's even more if you include things like Yorinuki, the animated movies, and the live action movies! I am glad you liked my cover, just trying to contribute to the fandom how I can ^_^
@@toh-kit6908 Sadly true. Any contribution to the fandom is always appreciated, and hopefully with the final chapter coming on the way next year that's when we'll get flooded with more. Because watching people's reaction to a marathon of the opening themes made them realize how good and shockingly consistent the series is.
i mean this is good i keep trying to compare it with bigger name people who cover stuff and that isnt what i should do and i cant say its bad bc ik i cant do this shit in a million years i have a feeling that you will be really good
Thank you for listening ^_^! For sure I've got a long ways to go before I get on the level of the big-name English Cover artists (if ever, lol), but hopefully I continue to improve with each cover I do!
@@EdelgardvonHresvelg8663 If you do not mind me asking: What are are some areas that you find lacking that I can improve on going forwards? I am very much still an amateur, and I value any constructive feedback ^_^!
@@toh-kit6908uhh im sorry your asking the wrong man i mean i dont want to be rude either so i guess the tone idk the right word it sometimes feels like the tone is off or idk something like that umm shit i can probably give you a better answer tommorow its almost midnight where i live and im sleep deprived so my brain is just dead for the day
@@toh-kit6908 now also i havent listened to any of your newer songs so idk this is from almost a year ago ill listen to a newer one then give a better answer
Thanks for listening ^_^! As I continue to sing more and (hopefully) improve with audio mixing, I am sure the number of people stumbling across my little channel will grow!
Thanks for the feedback! So far I have just been using Audacity, as I am still very much an amateur... but eventually I will probably make the investment for some better equipment/software
Lyrics:
Look out today, at the city scape,
Everything stands unchanged,
So why is it, to my tired eyes,
That it all looks so different now?
Could the color of all the lies,
I told myself,
Still be staining this shirt that Im wearing now,
What have I protected, throughout all this time?
I wanna be...
Hopeful, throughout the ages,
Holding on fast to the many dreams I have,
If I can do this, just this one small thing,
Then I can walk with my head held high!
I wanna be...
Free from all of my lies now
Recalling our promise, from long ago,
"Everything is well"
Tomorrow I know this will ring true!
In this old town that
Remains unchanged by the passage of time
The shimm'ring heat, of the city's street
Still lingers in my mind
But as I try, to reach for it,
I stumble and am lead astray
From those simple summer days
We'd idly laze
With nothing but cans of cheap coffee and
Our hopes for the future, held within our hands
I wanna be...
Selfish, doing what I want
Fighting and then hurting, now separated
This feeling I cant
Seem to understand
Just keeps on quivering inside my heart!
I wanna be...
Fading, a passing shadow
Meeting and then parting,
Such painful sorrow,
Yet understanding,
Im getting better at living life!
I wanna be...
Hopeful, throughout the ages,
Holding on fast to the many dreams I have,
If I can do this, just this one small thing,
Then I can walk with my head held high!
I wanna be...
Free, from all of my lies now,
Recalling our promise, from long ago,
"Everything is well"
Tomorrow I know this will ring true!
In this old town that
Remains unchanged by the passage of time,
We are the ones that have changed!

How do you not have more subscribers?
Thanks for listening ^_^! As I continue to sing more and (hopefully) improve with audio mixing, I am sure the number of people stumbling across my little channel will grow!
You sound like a young genkai from yu yu hakusho dub
Also try to invest in some audio software
Thanks for the feedback!
