Golden Time Lover
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood OP 3
(a song covered by Y. Chang)

MERRY DESIRE. It took forever, but it's done.

So, I've met a ton of new people this year.

I dedicate this to the idiot baby bitches who will never be pro.
I dedicate this to the facepalm-inducing good-for-nothings who fail to grasp the idea that yes, professional standards for VAs DO exist.
I dedicate this to the trolls.
I dedicate this to all the talented kids with lots of promise.
I dedicate this to The Music Meister.
I dedicate this to The Glasses Gang.
I dedicate this to good fandubs.
I dedicate this to the amazing singers and musicians.
I dedicate this to all the amazing people on this forum who inspire me.
Most of all, I dedicate this to the crew who have taken me in with the utmost patience and made these last several months, my first foray into VAing, into the awesome experience it's been. You know who you are.

There you have it, my 1000th post. I'm probably gonna make adjustments later when it's like, not Christmas. ENJOY!

PS And I dedicate it to Bladeblur, since he got me all hyped about this song and lots of miscellaneous J-POP goodness. Thank you for the music!

LYRICS

Failure concentrating, body/motor responses hesitating
Soul/ego shaking, blur between daydreams and awakening
Loss of control and perpetual sense that luck and light are fading
No more ruminating, shake the strife off your life or keep on waiting
That's my situation, can't escape 'cause to run is degradation
No expectations, still I fight to bite temptation
Got to be brave as I unenclave/find the prize is my fixation, I'm
Still holding onto my pride
Is this the shine of a wine-toasted victory
Or is it just a sad bitter sigh of defeat?
I'll take it either way
If fate is just a play
I'm tying the strings up starting today
Sound the chime, golden time
Steal perfection in its prime
Take your place, poker face
Ready for the race
I will choose to refuse the illusion and shatter the nightmare
Faking tame, pressure game
Win or lose it's all the same
Pay the fine, border line
Hapless to divine
If there's any how many and when will these games find an ender
What's the last thing I want to surrender?

Everyone else fails at writing lyric adaptations forever.

Flipping epic, man. I love this.

[BladeBlur]

Probably my favorite song by you, Y.Chang. The lyrics are espcially considering how wordy this song is. I love the chorus.

[BloodRedOath]

Jesus christ Y.Chang. You and your singing. And your finding your way onto my ipod.

[Gonax]

D.Gay'D

[CountAbyss]

Just to put it simply, this was fantastic!

[Y. Chang]

I've tightened the harmonies so that they flow with the melody line more seamlessly; the link is updated if you'd like to do a little switcheroo.

And...thank every single one of you for your generous comments. Thank you so, so much. Merry Desire~~~!

[Sukisho]

I can't tell difference XD

But anyway YouTube- FAB - GTL - YChang now it's REALLY awesome :D

[Aziral]

It usually takes a few listens for me to take liking to your covers but when I do get used to them, I love them like a fat boy loves cake. Ask my family and they'll say I play your covers basically every minute of the day. XD

And video above is win. <3

[Bree]

Y. Chang. You make my day with your songs.
And I thought the Umineko No Naku Koro Ni one was amazing, this was just like....
O_O
It's going on my Ipod, and I'm going to listen to it and be all happy for it's FMA goodness, and your singing awesome-ness xD

-Bree

[Sapphire]

I can't tell difference XD

But anyway YouTube- FAB - GTL - YChang (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADppHZIffng) now it's REALLY awesome :D

Now this is ultimate win.

[tomatocars]

YUSSS another Y. Chang cover!! I'm at disneyland right now but this will be the first thing I listen to when I get back 8D. From all of these stellar reviews I'm tempted to steal a pair of headphones and listen to it right now >:]

[Zangya]

kimley is hot

[Erica]

P-P-P-POKER FACE P-P-POKER FACE.
gooshgooshgooshgoosh.




Nah man. This was great. Lyrics were seamless. You really are the best song adaptor here. I BOW TO YOU.

DO MORE SONGS. NOW.

[andy ichigo]

P-P-P-POKER FACE P-P-POKER FACE.
gooshgooshgooshgoosh.

I was thinking the same thing.




I dedicate this to the amazing singers and musicians.



Awww.You shouldn't have. <--- FAIL


So yeah, stop mass producing awesome covers so I have time to praise them at least a million times before a new one comes out.

[BladeBlur]

Thanks for the dedication by the way! I love this cover with a passion.

God I was humming at work, that's how great it is.

[tomatocars]

Finally got to listen to it and... damn

This is definitely your best cover yet Y. Chang. There was something about this cover that just shined above the rest. Whether it be the catchy tune to begin with, your attention to detail (you know how much I appreciate your harmonies) or just how in tune you are in general, I think what this cover had more so than your other ones was style. Correct me if I'm wrong but you didn't try VA while singing this did you? What I mean by this is you didn't try to sing in a richer tone, have any sort of accent or anything right? This was just pure you. And I think that also added to the amazing quality of this cover.

From the first line to the last word it just oozed that Y. Chang swagger that puts you above the rest. This song demonstrates perfectly why the VAA fell in love with your voice the first time we heard it - it's so unique. I mean, anyone can work on their voice and start to get in tune, belt, or learn how to harmonize but what you can't learn is originality. You were born with this edgy voice and added on to your amazing musical ability creates such a dynamic combination.

Please, PLEASE never stop singing or doing what you do. We love it.

[Ovarku]

This was the first time I ever heard you sing ever, and I must say I was really impressed. It's like you made this song your own, and if I wanted to sing, I want to be at this level...and the mixing was fantastic.

You get 2 thumbs up from me Y.Chang

[Art_of_camelot]

Excellent job! What do you use for mixing and effects?

[ARCoolguy]

Yo Y.Chang can I use this in my FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood fandub I am doing

[Zangya]

Yo Y.Chang can I use this in my FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood fandub I am doing

[Sapphire]

No, I already talked to him about it and I'm using his cover for my Episode 902 fandub.

[Zangya]

No, I already talked to him about it and I'm using his cover for my Episode 902 fandub.

uuurgh omg i hate you

[Gonax]

Can't you gals share? lol

[Sukisho]

no because i have dibs on it.

Nope. He already told me I could use it like right before he even finished it. So I win.


No, I already talked to him about it and I'm using his cover for my Episode 902 fandub.

No mang, I dubbin dat ep! >D

[tomatocars]

I already used it and uploaded it to youtubez. You all fail.

[majia]

Condensed version of what would have been an endless amount of fangirling: @_@ @o@ >.< ;_; <3
Haha just kidding...sorta. You sounded wonderful Y. Chang! I absolutely loved your version of this and I can't stop replaying it. Please keep em' coming you always deliver and you deliver well.

[Zangya]

Nope. He already told me I could use it like right before he even finished it. So I win.





well im using it without asking. because ychang is straight for me

[Y. Chang]

Sukisho: YUS FLIPPAGE! Thank you for making that video!

Ichigo Neko: Tell your family I appreciate them putting up with my voice!

Bree: Thank you so, so very much. FMA is win!

tomatocars: Thank you for always writing the sweetest comments.

Erica: Hey, thanks! That means a lot coming from an oldbie/mod such as yourself. more songs are definitely on the goosh

andy ichigo: Mass producing? Iunno about that, but I'm glad you think so since there are certain trolls who think I take forever on my stuff XD

Bladey: Thank you! I've got another Sukima Switch goodie planned for like Valentine's day, yo; hope your coworkers like Ouendan music 8P

Ovarku: Thank you very much for considering it like that! And I was trying out some new plugins with the mixing here, so I'm glad that it came through somehow.

Art_of_camelot: You're really asking for a tutorial...but I mix with Adobe Audition. To paraphrase, I do: cleanup, eq, compression, reverb, and a whole lot of adjusting. Play around!

ARCoolguy: Yo Coolguy, I can't, because other people got dibs.

majia: Thank you so much! <333 I do it 4 u gurl!

[Fantomuhaivu]

I love your voice. Just sayin' :'D. I've been stalking it at mongtsatsa's recommendation and yeah. I'm so impressed with this though - your lyrics flow so naturally, almost as if the song was meant to be in English.

Keep up the good work and stuff :D <3

[Sapphire]

So, Y. Chang kept telling me how he adjusted the vocals and instrumental volume of this song during downtime like... 12 times. So someome please tell him to leave it the hell alone. I'm guessing he touched it again while I was asleep. This is becoming a problem. :l

[Y. Chang]

I officially updated the link only twice, once for the harmonies as stated and once again to adjust the volume of the backing track by precisely -0.2 dB.

I'm done touching it, I'm done.

Also, thank you Ciel!

[CKMel]

SO. GOOD.

Haha, I left a comment on YT, but I wanted to make one here too!
Maaaan. I should really start revisiting the RS/MS more often.
Your cover as a whole left me pretty much speechless: lyrics, voice, mixing, EVERYTHING. I love it.

And I still can't stop listening to it :P ...

[Reikku]

Wow, you never fail to amaze me.

[Sapphire]

Y. Chang do a duet with me!

[Kennidy]

Again, this thread is so '09.

[Sapphire]

Even if it is it's like the best cover ever.
