Here's a cover of the Cowboy Bebop ED I did last year but didn't get to do anything with it until recently. I commissioned a really talented musician (Mihai) on Newgrounds to recreate the instrumental for me. He did an awesome job! My buddy Merr wrote these incredible lyrics, and of course I wanna give a big thanks to Y. Chang for doing the dirty work on the editing, and Nana for doing the harmonies for me. I'm really happy with the way this all turned out, and I hope you enjoy it to!
**NOTE: I won't be giving out the instrumental to anyone.**

Lyrics:
Too late to let you know, what you mean to me
If I cried I'd only make you believe I was happy
I've got to let you go, and my heart, it aches
But it's worth it, 'cause I swear to god, you're a mistake
Know there could be a day, when the pain will fade
But a part of me is lookin' for you, back on yesterday
I've got to get away, 'cause my heart, it burns
And I know if I keep stickin' around, I won't ever learn
Don't wanna cry
'Cause, baby, I
Can feel freedom when they play
The real folk blues
I need the pain
My unhappiness is proof I'm not insane
'Cause when I'm close to you
I swear, I could die
Need to live my life, yeah, live like I'm alive
And it's a lonely road
Good luck and goodbye

    "and when I'm close to you - I swear I could die" Beautiful simplistic line that I interpret in three ways - When Spike is with Julia, he feels such a sense of perfection and fulfillment that he can die happily in that moment if he has to - When Spike sees Viscious, he feels such rage and contempt that he's willing to end both their lives right there at that moment - When Spike is out with Faye on their rampages, he swears he could die at any given moment on account of his mortality

    The old man sits down, setting his glass to the side. For a moment, he said nothing... Just stared into the fire. And when he did speak, it was like old smoke in the winter. Like that first, harsh sip of whisky at night after a long day. "Son," he rasped, "Nobody is every really prepared to cry. S'why it's so important when we do. It means we felt something. Made us stop and realize we ain't gonna feel quite like that ever again. An' it's so sad and so beautiful it makes something deep within fill up, an' overflow." The flames were almost gone now, only embers and the heat left. But we sat there, listening to the wind howl outside in the branches. And when the old man spoke again, it was like the snow falling outside- so soft I barely heard. "It meant something to you once, didn't it? Don't let that go."

    I want to thank you, Sapphire, for making this cover. Recently, a friend of mine passed away, and Cowboy Bebop was his all-time favorite anime. Incidentally, the English lyrics for The Real Folk Blues you used and the way you performed the vocals for it really conveyed how I was feeling while mourning him -- almost precisely. You're incredibly talented, and I wanted you to know that this song helped me deal with the pain over losing a good friend of mine. So, once again: thank you.

Sadly, he killed himself a few years back, and its been really hard on my family and myself. Whenever I hear this song, I always think back to my friend. Anyway, I'm really sorry to hear that, and I hope you feel better soon. :)

    I always play this song for rainy days or when it was the end of the school year when I turn around and reflect on all the memories I had of first coming in the school. The friends we made, the stupid things that we do after school and planning what to do for tomorrow. Until the end of senior year hits, the final bell rings and everyone is heading towards the bus loop eager to leave, you turn around at the school one last time "Thank you, for all that you've done for us." Playing this song with a big sigh and walk home without ever looking back.

    Verse 1 of 2: Although the sand that’s gone down through my hand Has worn away most of our love’s memory, I can still stand upon this desert land That’s all that’s left of what my heart used to be. Somebody cry for me my eyes they have run dry. Chorus: The real folk blues-how could I know How dear the price that I would one day have to pay? This desert sand between my bones, Really doesn’t feel so bad Long as I know I’ll be free some day.

I just really REALLY wish this was the full version of the song, but I understand that doing that might require more work than you're willing to put towards this song, and I can respect that. Thank you all who worked on this piece. It's better to have this much than nothing at all.

I only wish that I myself had had even the smallest part in crafting a verse, these were a perfect substitute since I'm too lazy to learn Japanese.

    You don't know how much this cover, and by extension these lyrics mean to me. A couple of weeks ago the girl I've loved for the past 2 years broke my heart; she couldn't handle me going to college and leaving her behind, even though we already planned the long distance relationship. So here I am, depressed, browsing the internet in the early morning and listening to music. I started listening to some Nujabes, as his music always helps me clear my thoughts. As I'm listening, I make a meager resolve to myself to start living again. Nujabes leads to general Samurai Champloo music, which leads to Cowboy Bebop music, which eventually led me to your cover. And as I listened, and listened carefully to the lyrics, my goodness. All this emotion I've had over these past two weeks just pours out. So now, that meager resolve? It's a full-on resolution now. It's time for me to live like I'm alive. So thank you Sapphire, you have no idea how much this means to me. The subscription is the least I can do.

    (This was ripped straight from the description. Just putting it here because some people are too lazy to look there.) Too late to let you know, what you mean to me If I cried I'd only make you believe I was happy I've got to let you go, and my heart, it aches But it's worth it, 'cause I swear to god, you're a mistake Know there could be a day when the pain will fade But a part of me is lookin' for you, back on yesterday I've got to get away, 'cause my heart, it burns And I know if I keep stickin' around, I won't ever learn Don't wanna cry 'Cause, baby, I Can feel freedom when they play The real folk blues I need the pain My unhappiness is proof I'm not insane 'Cause when I'm close to you I swear, I could die Need to live my life, yeah, live like I'm alive And it's a lonely road Good luck and goodbye

    Thats what I think to with every song I start liking thanks to anime, and I'm super thankful that some really amazing singers can give us English covers of these songs. To be fair though, some Japanese songs are easy to learn, like Dango Daizoku from Clannad, but then you have either songs like Guren no Yumia which is really hard because it's a mixture of both Japanese and German, and then you have some anime that have English openings and endings, most being Pokemon, but then you have Wolfs Rain's opening and ending both of which are in English. But then again the music for Wolfs Rain was done by Yoko Kano, who funnily enough does the music for Cowboy Bebop as well, so...yeah :D
