:weep sony didn't even update their official website yet :grumpy maybe when they actually do, we'll get a promo pic? whenever that will be...:rolleyes

SFP do NOT deserve such "promotion", like seriously. it pisses me off. :grumpy

^yeah and considering they're with Sony, its up to fate to make them famous because their record label won't bother. :(

they should move to ZAIN Records if you ask me :P . An indie label yeah but the way that they promote their artistes are much much better than the 4 big major labels in the world sometimes

^As long as they don't become one of those bands who are barely given any budget, I'm fine with anything. But honestly, I HOPE these guys NEVER begin to release commercial music. EVER. But if them becoming famous means that they'll release commercial music later, then I'd rather they stay the way they are IMO.

I know you didn't like sea-through communication because you said that it's like their most commerical sounding single to date

but the single still tanked D:

^lol. Well, honestly, the single isn't too bad thanks to the very catchy and awesome fiction non-fiction. But sea-through as a song, was yes, too commercial. But I blame Sony for the bad sales/ chart position etc. The band did their job, the label..... could've done more.

i honestly don't want them to have like...amazing success like selling over 100,000 copies for each single. i just want them to have decent success. like around 20-50k sales of a single and stuff, you know? because too famous isn't so good sometimes :laugh as long as they just stay in the top 10 for every release, i'm happy. but out of the top 30 is just depressing.

OMFG....

edit: lyrics for "sea-through communication -sung in English with symphony-":

Quote:

Our hearts are joined together
We have such a deep connection
That's how we fare the stormy weather
That hits us now every single day

Travel the speed of light
Over the furious ocean
And I will face the rainy weather
To get my message across to you

Hold on - a dictionary of phrases to tell you how I'm feeling
I'll make the perfect choices to be clear
I always want to have you here
Avoiding a break down

All of the magic that I wanna show you
So just be open to all that is possible
This is my phrase speaker, it's calling to you across the distance
There is so much that I wanna tell you
Communication - I'm doing it all for you
Miracles really happen - you have to believe
Delivered to you, delivered to you, my message to you

Our heads are locked together,
To resolve a recurring problem
That time and space cannot endeavor
To ever really tackle right

There are so many gadgets
And means to keep in contact
I can't believe you're not in favor
Of great big steps of technology

After all - there are so many phrases to tell you how I'm feeling
So many perfect methods of describing
How the color of the sky is changing
Far beyond imagination

All of the wonder that I wanna show you
So just be open to all that is possible
This is your flight motor - oh, please don't resist it
Let's bridge the difference
There is so much that I wanna tell you
Telepathy's not always the quickest way
We gotta make it happen - exchanging the keys
Delivered to you, delivered to you, my message to you

Sometimes the rain
Pours down around me
I'm feeling so very blue
I want to run away - ah
Sometimes my heart
It starts to shut down
All my thoughts start to turn to you
They're bringing a shiny new day - yeah

Night is falling, there's no need to fear it
The rain is pouring, there's no need to run from it
This is my platform and I'm always beside you across the distance
There is so much that I wanna show you
Communication - I'm doing it all for you
I know the sun will shine soon

And everything that's precious
And everything I treasure I hold it
Right here in my hand, I'll keep it special
Got to be aware of every option

There is so much that I wanna tell you
Communication I'm doing it all for you
Miracles really happen - you have to believe
Delivered to you, delivered to you, my message to you

great promo pic there :D & I downloaded the single already

going to listen to the B-sides now :)

Thanks so much for the single and the English lyrics. Now I won't have to go through another trasient, lol.

deviswitch is really cool

Yumi's vocals worked quite nicely against the synth melody vibranto

Thanks for all that stuff Lisa!!! The promo pic is really cool too, as usual! The lyrics are just.... woahhh
