Bubblegum Crisis 2033 - Mr. Dandy (English)

Ending song to Episode 1. Man, this is one depressing song even though it sounds so upbeat. Once more, doing lyrics by ear. Help would be appreciated if you can make something out I can't. I don't own the animation/song/etc, copyright to respective owners.

Lyrics:

Hustle and bustle
Working in the city
Daylight keeps our fears at bay

Sunset, rains, and gloom (?)
Heartbeats, stars, and doom (?)
Hoping for another day

If we're bound by invisible schemes
Then our dreams are only oppression

Hey Mr. Dandy!
Hey Mr. Joy!
Can't find love's key
Lights fading
I can not see

Hey Mr. Dandy!
Hey Mr. Joy!
Feels like lost love
Gripping your heart so tightly

Cool enchanted ocean
Calming the commotion
On an endless summer day

Colors in the city
Night time has no pity
Wish the light would always stay!

But the dark shadows will fall
Drowning us all in a sea of depression

*Hey Mr. Dandy!
Hey Mr. Joy!
Can't find love's key
Lights fading
I can not see
Hey Mr. Dandy!
Hey Mr. Joy!
Feels like lost love
Gripping your heart so tightly x2

Sounds like drunken Karaoke.

[PrissAssigiri]

ah i miss all of these songs, they dont make em like this annymore

[MythKiller77]

Sunset brings in gloom,

Heartbeats dodging doom

[Karmoon7]

While it is a positive thing that the song was made available to be understood by English speakers, they made several technical errors.

The vocalist, the drums, the guitar solo...they just scream of amateur production.

The only thing going in it's favour is the localisation of the lyrics isn't bad.

A wasted opportunity. BLUEW are a professionals, they should have got a professional pop act to perform the songs for us too.

@OtaKing77077 then make us a better version, bro Go straight up insane on the Guitar :) lol

[OtaKing77077]

Whoa.. this is painful on the ears!

It's not just the bad singing, but they've replaced the full orchestra Japanese backing track with what sounds like poor karaoke-quality lift music.

The same goes for all the English versions of the Bubblegum Crisis songs. A huge wasted effort in my opinion...

[myHEADisAtv]

Man I think he has a pretty good voice!

[atruckertravels1975]

as much as i like being able to understand the music without having to read subtitles, there's something that's missing from not hearing it in Japanese. What do you think?

I prefer all the English songs to the Japanese ones. If you understand Japanese, the lyrics to the English songs are much cooler.

[Kwandike1279]

this suck i perfer the japanese version

[ElderGodBrandon]
