The lyrics:
As the night is leaving
Silently retreating down an empty hall
Suddenly a stirring
Finally recurring where I let it fall
Following the wanderings of a dream
A dream that keeps my soul alive
Believing in an open sky
Believing in a love
Dancing with a stranger
Careless of the danger there within his smile
While the dew was forming
Breathing in the morning like a sleeping child
If the memory of the light should fade
Horizons reaching cold and blue
Until your heart is free to fly
Then I will keep the sun for you
Until you touch the open sky
Then I will keep the sun for you
This is an attempt to make Vocaloid sing the theme from Midnight Express by Giorgio Moroder and Chris Bennett, and my feelings about it are mixed. The song is certainly recognizable, but the accent is weird and some parts are unintelligible. The vocals can certainly be improved by tweaking the Vocaloid control tracks, which are unavailable when running Vocaloid in Linux under Wine (for some reason it refused to install on my real Windows). It worked well as a proof-of-concept, but I would really love to dump Vocaloid and hear Svetla Ilieva singing this song :)
The backing track was played on a Roland Juno-G (piano, pads, bass, flute and drums). I played it from memory so I probably missed some chords. (I also tried to add the electronic toms but I didn't find anything suitable and I was too lazy to write a patch from scratch.)
