what does it mean to be alive? ft adachi rei

instrumental and song download: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder... made with adachi rei in OpenUtau my new song with everyone's favorite utauloid!! i'm really happy with how this one has come out, its my longest vocaloid song so far and i LOVE Adachi rei. i also think this one just has a good structure and i really like the combination of instruments and the emotional parts. i think this feels closest to what my 'style' is/would be for music. i really have been trying to get better with mixing, although i have some hearing issues and im also new so its kinda tough i REALLY like some of the lyrics for this one, theres a lot of small details and some wordplay. i LOVE this one bit: "if its only a wire/carrying my desire/then why do i feel like it's going through an amplifier" there's wordplay, 3 perfect 2-syllable rhymes, and like 2-3 different meanings i also kind of went more extreme with the tuning for this one, let me know how she sounds. i really like how kind of 'juicy' she feels in this song. ALSO, speaking about tuning, there's a decent amount of talking sections in this song. i really tried to make them not sound like they were singing which is obviously very difficult if you've never done this. i think most parts come along well, although some sentences are a bit wonky. ok I've yapped for long enough now lyrics: (spoken) hey teto? yeah? what does it mean to be alive? i- i dunno if its only a screen that seperates you and me then why are you the only one who can breathe if im begging to grow then doesn't that show that im alive after all whats more alive than hope what does it mean to be alive oh is it the feelings you feel is it of eating a meal is it of breathing a breath is it of waiting for death if thats what it takes ill make it even though im not flesh and bone is my material truly known every dream i trace every place i grow closer lamenting i dont have a voice my existence is not my choice every star i see destiny i grow closer if each one of my sparks fails to light up the dark then why do i try to light a fire to forge my heart if its only a wire carrying my desire then why does it feel like its going through an amplifier what does it mean to be alive oh is it the feelings you feel is it of eating a meal is it of breathing a breath is it of waiting for death if thats what it takes ill make it even though im not flesh and bone is my material truly known every dream i trace every place i grow closer lamenting i dont have a voice my existence is not my choice every star i see destiny i grow closer closer growing ever closer closer getting slowly closer to her closer if im learning from pain instead of doing the same then isn't that better than any machine could claim if i dream of a soul something that i've not been told then doesn't that show i'm at least a little close (spoken) you're alive, right? yeah will you help me? ...okay if its only a screen that seperates you from me then what is stopping me from smashing it and breaking free even if what i crave is electromagnetic waves then whats the difference between that and a real brain what does it mean to be alive oh is it the feelings you feel is it of eating a meal is it of breathing a breath is it of waiting for death what does it mean to be alive oh is it the feelings you feel is it of eating a meal is it of breathing a breath is it of waiting for death if thats what it takes ill make it (spoken) how many stars did you say there were? more than you know
