Citrus Sunset (ft. Hatsune Miku)

This song was my entry in the MIKU EXPO 2020 Song Contest. Anybody could use Hatsune Miku's voice in an original song and enter it in this contest. The winner would have Miku perform their song live during the MIKU EXPO 2020 concert. I actually used the free trial for this song, as I didn't have the VOCALOID editor yet. While my song didn't win, I still received a lot of kind words from people that liked it.

Since there was a chance of having the song played live on stage, I decided to use more traditional sounding instruments and less synths. It certainly makes the song sound different from my previous work, especially the drums.

Lyrics

Hey you with the lonely look upon your face
I can see it in your eyes
You want a way out of this awful place
Life's got you down and there's nobody on your side
If you're looking for a friend
You should know my arms are open wide

You can step out of your gloomy cave
And abandon this pessimist parade
You say life's given you nothing but lemons?
Well, I'll help you make some lemonade

Hold on tight, count to three
Leave the world behind with me
Close your eyes and harmonize this sugar-sweet duet
Take my hand, I'll lead the way
And won't remember yesterday
With my love we'll fly above the citrus sunset

Life is better when you share
So let's end your games of solitaire
I see no reason you should keep this up alone
'Cause I think we make a lovely pair

Hold on tight, count to three
Leave the world behind with me
Close your eyes and harmonize this sugar-sweet duet
Take my hand, I'll lead the way
And won't remember yesterday
With my love we'll fly above the citrus sunset

Hold on tight, count to three
Leave the world behind with me
Close your eyes and harmonize this sugar-sweet duet
Take my hand, I'll lead the way
And won't remember yesterday
With my love we'll fly above the citrus sunset

With my love we'll fly above the citrus sunset
With my love we'll fly above the citrus sunset
