BAYOG Cover|Heartache (Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends)

February 17, 2019

Hihi BAYOG Fam~ Long time no see…? I apologize. I haven’t been feeling too well; Both physically and mentally. If I had to be honest, I haven’t really had the heart or motivation to write anything lately. I didn’t want to just publish a post for the sake of publishing something either. I’ve had alot on my mind lately, and I’ve been under alot of stress. So I just wanted to do something to take off some of that stress and heal my soul a bit. By now, you should know how much I love music, and how much I love to sing. So I’ll be adding another BAYOG Cover post~

Today, I did a short cover of “Heartache” by ONE OK ROCK. If you didn’t know, ONE OK ROCK is one of my favorite bands. I’m also happy to announce that I’ll be finally seeing them perform live in March! So you can look forward to a post on that later~ “Heartache” was a track from their 2015 album, 35xxxv. It was also used as the theme song for the final Rurouni Kenshin live action film, Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends.

I absolutely love the live studio jam session version. It’s a really beautiful acoustic version~

I’m a bit rusty since I haven’t worked on music in a while. Still, I love this song so I really wanted to sing it. It’s a melancholy, but beautiful song. Also, I do apologize. I just recorded it through the Smule Sing karaoke app. My earphone mic is noise cancelling. It helps make it sound less fuzzy. However, it does tend to fade at weird parts…so my bad. Perhaps, I’ll do a full cover with my regular equipment at a later date~

JAPANESE LYRICS

So they say that time
Takes away the pain
But I\’m still the same
And they say that I
Will find another you
That can’t be true oh

Why didn’t I realize
Why did I tell lies
Yeah I wish that I could do it again
Turnin’ back the time back when you were mine (all mine)

So this is heartache?
So this is heartache?
拾い集めた後悔は涙へとかわり oh baby
So this is heartache?
So this is heartache?
あの日の君の笑顔は思い出に変わる
I miss you

So they say that time
Takes away the pain
But I’m still the same
And they say that I
Will find another you
That can’t be true oh

Why didn’t I realize
Why did I tell lies
Yeah I wish that I could do it again
Turnin’ back the time back when you were mine (all mine)

So this is heartache?
So this is heartache?
The regrets I’ve gathered change into tears, and oh baby
So this is heartache?
So this is heartache?
Your smile from that day turns into a memory
I miss you
