What's this? SPAZZEH'S DONE A DUB IN ENGLISH? WITH HER OWN LYRICS TOO? DEAR GOD, PREPARE FOR THE APOCALYPSE.
-SHOT-
Anyways. XD Well, for a while now, I've wanted to get better at lyric writing/writing in general as well as do some English fandubs [with English being my native language and all XD;] and I've done some lyrics for the song Mou Sukoshi as well as a very bad attempt back in 8th grade for the song Harmonia by RYTHEM. XD So, I've noticed that quite a few people have done English dubs of this song, and as I was listening, I noticed how good this song really sounds in English. (By that I mean, some Japanese songs just don't sound great in English, for whatever reason. XD Look up the translation for the song Kusari by Akiko Kawakami, from Disgaea. Something about it, to me, would just sound off in English XD -SMACKED-) But this one really transfers over quite nicely. And I was really inspired by a number of the ones I saw, particularly callmecaelestis [♥] and a couple others.
Keep in mind, this is only my 2nd or 3rd really serious attempt at writing English lyrics, so please forgive me, I know that they're not perfect, but I'd rather not have them critiqued at the moment XD;; And although I have a sing-along in the video, I'll post the lyrics here too. (Although frankly, despite the mistakes, I'm rather proud of them 8D) Oh, and I know that "Don't Scary" doesn't make sense in proper English, and I've seen a number of people change it to "Don't be scared" and the like to make sense, but I wanted to leave all the original stuff alone, so yeah XD
And...wow. I sound...different in English. My singing voice just tends to be more alto in English, like my speaking voice. For some reason, when I sing and speak in Japanese, my voice tends to change, I think because of pronunciation and stuff, but my English speaking and singing voice are 100% alto, babeh. WOOT. (Well, so is my Japanese, but it just shows more here XD)
ANYWAYS, ENOUGH OF THE WORLDS LONGEST VIDEO DESCRIPTION. (Actually no, that would be my Kaeritakunatta Yo video description XD ITS LIKE A FREAKING NOVEL, LMAO.)
So, without further ado, my English dub of PAPERMOON!
Please enjoy!
~Spazzeh ♥
Song: PAPERMOON
Originally by: Tommy Heavenly6
Anime: Soul Eater

Lyrics (DO NOT USE WITHOUT PERMISSION. LYRICS AND VOICE THEIVES WILL FACE MY WRATH):
I'm falling
Down Into My Shadow
Slowly try to still your breath
While you await the deadly night
Don't Scary
The reflection in your eyes that shows
The world that you are dreaming of
Will appear before your eyes
See you in your dreams, Yeah Baby
Good or bad, I'll always be there
Fairy Blue, I'll do it all for you
I'll break the sky and the stars too
And replace it all with a
Black Paper Moon
If you could just believe in me!
When you're lost Here I am
Forever with your soul
So look up to the sky and find me there
Beside the shining moon
Woah great lyrics! How did you record your your voice with the song like that? Just asking....Nice singing too :D

@AnnaMay14 Oh wow, this dub is so old now, I really should re-do it...
Thank you so much! Well, you need (first of all) a mic, and the recording program I use is called Audacity, although that's certainly not the only one out there! And thank you very much :3

This is soo good :D
I actually think your English singing doesn't differ much from your Japanese singing :D That's good. When I sing in English, it gets worse than it already is XD

Thank you <3
LOL, thanks. My voice is just a bit deeper in English, since my speaking voice is like...manly, haha.
