After a long rest (hiatus), I have come back with some ideas after suffering from the deadly writer's block! (Yes, it's a painful torture for me to have writer's block) I think the best way I should start is by sharing some inspirations and motivate others. To share my dedication to music, I would like to introduce a song for you.
Is your dearest person's birthday happen to be near and they have been down lately that you have been trying to find a way to cheer them up? Or you just want to insert some wise tellings on their birthday? Then this song should be in your list!
The 2nd collaborative song by Halyosy, entitled "Blessing" has been known and covered by utaites all over the world. It was a song he composed for his nephew who was having his 3rd birthday. He aimed that the song could push his(cousin) back when he grows up and loses his way. The song was first released to be sung by 6 vocaloid singers; Hatsune Miku, Meiko, Kaito, Luka, and the Kagamine twins, Rin and Len. The song then has been covered in various versions, the most outstanding one being ver.A and ver.B.
Among those covers, people have created the multilanguage version, calling utaites from every region of The Earth to join them. Some even translate the song into their mother languages, and another created the instrumental version. A famous cover was also made with the title "Blessings * A Gift For You".
The song is not my top favorite, but I really recommend this song. I personally feel that collaborative songs like this unites the world, despite the differences of cultures, music taste, and languages, but when they are collaborating, they create the most perfect harmony. Besides, what could be better when the song is meaningful and motivating?
For a start, let's read the lyrics, taken from wikia
