Mage – Flexible
words and music by Moon.
Oh what a story I heard you say
I would be appreciate if you let me play
Tangle upon me these honey lies
Oh what a story
Another a story
Try to stay fair, how innocent
I’m just a young kid
“We just don’t care!”
I found it amusing you try to explain
It sounded so funny
Oh is it funny?
Adding the sums up, it’s fine
Trying not to be surprise
Gonna look you in the eye
So you wouldn’t lie
Grabbing the tension, collided.
Gimme a perfect denial
“I have you in my mind”
Is such a witty phase
It’s such a lovely taste
You’ve been so flexible
But I don’t mind if you don’t know
When it has taken all the romance out of you
In times of desperation
You went craze then I’ll went wild
We end up cycling back where we start again oh…
I’ve just realized
That all is fair
You got your instinct
You lose your care
Imagine the chaos
When time has come
I’ll try embrace it
I’ll sing about it
Adding the sums up, it’s fine
Trying not to be surprise
Gonna look you in the eye
So you wouldn’t lie
Grabbing the tension, collided.
Gimme a perfect denial
“I have you in my mind”
Is such a witty phase
It’s such a lovely taste
You’ve been so flexible
But I don’t mind if you don’t know
When it has taken all the romance out of you
In times of desperation
You went craze then I’ll went wild
We end up cycling back where we start again oh…
I was once confused
Living the way you told me to
Guess I was trying to be as flexible as you.
There are more space to improve by modifying the song because the X factor is not there unlike Immortal and Plastic Era. There are many parts in the song to “fill in more music” instead of only drum or a bit of guitar. E.g; the part: starting from “Adding the sums up”.
The song name “flexible” sounds like a fast song but it appears to be not so. The song is a bit too dragging. After the part “Another a story”, the music a.k.a the guitar… is quite weird.. something like not matching the song. I believe it is also played at the intro part of the song, after the percussion which is (0:21)… but I like that percussion at (0:19) The music at the part
“You’ve been so flexible” should be brought up earlier in the song because it sounds like the oomph part/ chorus part. The percussion seems to be repeating too long at different parts accordingly (obviously not enough variety). You could use more of the percussion like the one at (0:19) The part 1:47 -> Adding the sums up… The music dropped suddenly, something like making people feel that: “eh? the song stopped already?”
The ending part can be better as well. A sharp drum + guitar stop is better than the existing guitar fade out. Very sad, I kept repeating the song and listen without feelings. =(
Don’t waste, please modify and improve!
Ganbatte!

Don’t you think it’s better if you comment AFTER we release the song?
The version you heard from your bro is not yet complete.

Uh, the grammar is really bad in these lyrics… and sorry to say I’m not familiar at all with the group; I was contacted on Imeem about it. So are these lyrics going to be as is or are you guys going to translate them into another language or something? From what I see on the rest of the website, there’s a lot of Chinese or something, so…

The released version is 95%-99% better. 1% is still the weird guitar sound but not as bad as the previous version. Other %, haven’t thought of any yet. This is just my opinion ya…
Ganbatte!
Compose more songs and launch an album faster! >.< XD

i usually need to listen several times before liking a song…
i don’t like this one :/
the intro is damn cool but then it feels like there’s a lack of something ( don’t ask what, i don’t know anything about music )
about the lyrics…the melody is cool.. still those mistakes that are hurting my ears
eidorin : So they shud prefer quantity instead of quality ? they’re good for now, don’t make them a commercial band ><

Err…well…after reading all the comments I’m just like “?”…in my opinion the song is amazing, every part of it…Indeed is my favourite one, and I listen to it too much often XDD…and every time I do, it’s like going through a story with images in my head and a bunch of feelings in my chest ^^…I don’t know, Mage’s style is really unique for me, because I’ve never heard something like this before, that brings meh such kind of feelings…and I say it again: it just feels like magic.

I am digging the beat of the song haha. the grammatical error in the lyrics is kinda obvious though, but it doesn’t really matter.
I love the drums and I love the way you sang it.
lol now this song will permanently stick in my head XD
