I have been looking at threads, but it seems to be all for BGM and such in dubs and radioplays.
What I need is someone to make an original "Dear You" track based on the series "Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni" [all versions posted below for reference].
They all have pretty much the same basis and I have sang my song over the original piano track, but I was hoping for something more original.
I am raher fond of guitars, flutes, violins or anything like those so using them would be a bonus. If you can't use them through programs, then do your best to get the right feel.
I'll post lyrics below so that it gives an overall view, but here's basically what I need.
I need a rather saddened instrumental [kinda like "Dear You -Hope-"] but also with a rather hopeful and faithful tone to it [kinda like "Dear You -Kind"].
I would rather it not be with a piano alone but if this is all that can be done, then it's fine. As long as it is different in style to the other Dear You songs.
A friend of mine is translating my lyrics into Japanese for me and has them done, but here are the English lyrics.
Darkness encloses 'round my heart, should I still go on?
Memories collected in my soul have faded away
Hearts have been broken, spirits destroyed but life must go on
Dreams have been shattered, yet your beliefs still keep me strong.
Waves of my hatred have always been sealed beneath my gentle soul
Yet, I must keep going. Set myself free. That is my goal.
The secrets hidden in my past must be kept
Suffering and misery were my only friends
The hurtful taunts, the devil's blade, the touch of hands on mine.
The teary eyes, the empty heart, all hidden by a smile
Help me! Help me! Why did no one rescue me?
Am I really alone in this world?
All of my love was never returned. I just wait alone.
Everything I did was all in vain, now I was done.
Hoping for a friend to help me along was a simple dream
Yet, I was losing, dreams don't make or mean anything.
I'm hurting, yet no one knows, is this the end for me?
The smiles of the ones I love are all that I need.
My life, was it just a waste, a burden to the light?
I prayed and I hoped for someone, every day and night.
No matter what I did, none of my dreams reached the heavens high
Murmurs of my past would be pushed out by cicadas' cries
No matter what the future holds for me, I must protect my lies
Wishing that I could just be free with you by my side
Darkness encloses 'round my heart, should I still go on?
Memories collected in my soul have faded away.
What does the future hold for me? That, I do no know
Yet, I must keep going, set myself free. That is my goal.
Here are the original "Dear You" songs.

I want to try and do this song in as many languages as possible in order to inspire people [I have inspired a number of people so far so hopefully I can do more. Big dream, huh? But I have to try.] Due to this, I may try for lyricists soon to translate.
Anyone who helps me will, of course, be given full credit. This is one project I am not going to give up on as it means too much to me.
If you would like to try out, send me a sample of your music either as a link to me through PM [stream is preferred] or through my email

Thank you.
