"The Real Folk Blues" (English Cover // Cowboy Bebop)
2,576"The Real Folk Blues" from Cowboy Bebop, english lyrics and vocals by me. :)
Let's face it -- me doing this song was inevitable. I've been in love with it since as long as I can remember! Yoko Kanno and Mai Yamane created pure magic with the original Japanese version, so I wanted to pay a tribute to that with an English version based on some of the verbatim translation of the song and my own interpretation of it. I know I certainly can't live up to the original, but goshhh, I really love singing this song!
My vocals are accompanied by a wonderful fanmade guitar cover of the song! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4hM29iSU4k)
I hope you enjoy my interpretation of this classic! Till next time -- see you, space cowboys. ;)

[[ LYRICS: ]]
How many howling winds will it take to see
That I doubt I'll ever see you again, it's not meant to be
Teardrops so gently fall, I've given my all
But I'll never say 'I love you' again, it's too late now
Could anyone cry with dry eyes? Before it's time to finally die?
The real folk blues ring through my soul
Sorrow's beauty makes me one and makes me whole
A tainted river flows, and yet still I know
Life's not bad if I don't have to try again; I don't think I could,
Yesterday is yesterday...
