Reuben Kee
I don’t know him personally, but I love his music.
I have however, been a long time listener of the music at Overclocked Remix, and never did I realise that the Reuben Kee (or Reu) was actually Singaporean.
I’m hosting this track, “To Far Away Times”, my favourite song from the Chrono Symphonic project from Overclocked Remix, played by Reuben Kee and sung by pixietricks.
Lyrics
(written by Claado Shou, translated by Evilhead)
Somewhere/Beyond the rain and autumn plains, the snow/That litters the countryside/I find a piece of you
And somewhere/Beyond the frozen fields, I clearly see/The end of our misery/A part of the place we knew
And slowly down through the fire, burning/Into this darkness I fall/Your presence right here beside me, yearning/Through it all
dokoka/ame to aki matsu no mukou/inaka no yuki ni/anata mitsukeru
(Somewhere/Beyond the rain and autumn plains, the snow/
That litters the countryside/I find a piece of you)
dokoka/kotta hara no mukou, atashi/mijimesa musabi/shiteta dokoro ni
(And somewhere/Beyond the frozen fields, I clearly see/The end of our misery/A part of the place we knew)And as the shadow dawns upon us/All I seem to think about is/Where our hope has faded away/Into
kage wo miedashitara/kangaeru dake wa/shioreta nozomi
doko ni…
(And as the shadow dawns upon us/All I seem to think about is/
Where our hope has faded away/Into)And somewhere/Beyond the hills below the horizon sun/A life that has just begun/A life we’re meant to know
dokoka/ame to aki matsu no mukou/inaka no yuki ni/anata mitsukeru
(Somewhere/Beyond the rain and autumn plains, the snow/That litters the countryside/I find a piece of you)
Reuben’s Comment on this Remix
Reuben Kee - “The melody to “To Far Away Times” seemed like it was a sad, almost painful recollection to some distant memory. So instead of the upbeat tempo of the original, I decided to go with the more somber, more powerful route, and it turned out incredibly well.”
