[Verse 1]
It’s Saturday.
It’s still early in the morning.
I wake up.
It’s still pitch black outside.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It’s completely silent.
I turn on the radio.
[Chorus 1]
A song by Sing Like Taling is playing on the radio.
I listen to Chikuzen Sato’s high-pitched voice.
My heart throbs at the melody,
And I’m enveloped in a swirl of sound.
[Verse 2]
My husband wakes up.
He’s staggering around in his pajamas with messy hair and
a sleepy look on his face.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
“Good morning, you’re early,” he says.
“Are you listening to music?”
[Chorus 2]
A song by Sing Like Taling is playing on the radio.
We listen to Chikuzen Sato’s high-pitched voice.
Our heart throbs at the melody,
And we’re enveloped in a swirl of sound.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
The water in the kettle
on the stove boils
along with an electronic melody,
The heat automatically shuts off.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
“Would you like some coffee?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied
“Is Indonesian instant coffee okay?” I continued, “Yes,” he replied.
[Chorus 3]
A song by Sing Like Taling is playing on the radio.
We listen to Chikuzen Sato’s high-pitched voice.
Our heart throbs at the melody,
And we’re enveloped in a swirl of sound.
[Bridge]
“Would you like some soybean flour instead of milk?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied.
“Here you go,” I say, and begin preparing breakfast. “Yes,” he replied.
[Final Chorus]
A song by Sing Like Taling is playing on the radio.
We listen to Chikuzen Sato’s high-pitched voice.
Our heart throbs at the melody,
And we’re enveloped in a swirl of sound.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Fade Out]
Sound:
“Lush, meticulously produced modern AOR with strong Smooth Jazz Fusion influences. Dreamy and uplifting atmosphere. High-fidelity studio sheen.”
rhythm section
“130 BPM. Clean, driving 16-beat from an acoustic drum kit. Kick on 1 and 3, crisp snare on 2 and 4. Polished sound with precise 16th-note hi-hat work. A prominent, funky slap electric bass playing syncopated 16th-note melodic lines.”
backing instruments
“Brightly miked Yamaha C7 grand piano playing rich, shimmering major 7th and add9 chords. A ‘side’ electric guitar (Fender Stratocaster style) with heavy chorus effect, playing sparkling arpeggios. Lush, sweeping legato string section and a powerful, harmonized horn section (sax/trumpet) with bright stabs.”
vocal effect
“Clear male tenor lead with an airy female harmony vocalist layered behind. Production features generous hall reverb, subtle pitch correction (autotune), and occasional phrase echo delay for rhythmic flair.”
A fusion of AOR with a 16-beat rhythm, featuring acoustic drums, slap electric bass, acoustic piano, side electric guitar, a horn section, strings, falsetto male vocals, female harmonies, and jazzy improvisation with a chord progression and chromatic approach.
