Sobbings in Without You

[xkurokei]

If you guys have heard the EM II version of Without You, I don't know if you guys have noticed this, but if you turn on your volume, or better to wear a headphone to get a much clearer sound, on 20 seconds before reaching the 11th minute(I'm not sure if it's the correct timing), you will be able to hear Yoshiki sobbing. o.o I heard it too. o.o
And you can hear him sobbing softly throughout the song, but I only remember the one that I mentioned.

Go listen to it and tell me if you heard it!

Just listened to it, sounds like regular shifting/sighing noises to me...

[Sander]

I think that ACTUALLY it was in some video also...

[AsukaMiyu]

Yeah there are some more parts but I can' find them anymore >_<;; doesn't work with my >broken< headphones, obviously

but when I heard that first it was..... x.x;;;;; Yeah....

[hideisgod]

aww, really? I guess I need to check that out.

I have heard it and to me, it does sound like he is crying.

[xkurokei]

Yes, there are lyrics of the song "WITHOUT YOU" ….. That, I wrote, right after Hide's death….. also, I had to do so many takes of piano recording, because of the tears falling down and flooding the piano keys, and my fingers kept slipping again and again.

-From Yoshiki's MySpace blog 24 Feb 2007

I know that he did many takes but I never thought they'd include the crying and release it.
But~ it was quite soft so no one can actually notice it anyway. 

[Yu~Kun]

lol i never noticed




*guilty*

[hideisgod]

I didn't hear it.  I hope I am listening to the right song...XD

[Ryo-Ohki]

I have to say... a friend of mine pointed this out to me a couple of years ago.  I have heard the soft crying and sniffling.  I could hear a bit of the shifting on the piano.. and those sounds are lightly diffrent.

I can barely listen to Without You without crying... and when I hear his soft sounds of mourning... I want to reach out and hold him.

[xkurokei]

i never noticed too until I saw the China X Freaks talking about it
*guilty too*

[jigokugal]

You r right, I've listened to it carefully, indeed I heard Yoshiki's sighing / sobbing, not just regular shifting.
Those are at 9.52, 9.58, 10.44-10.51, 12.37 and 12.44-12.52
The seconds are taken from Without You Eternal Melody II.

He mentioned about crying while recording this in his blog that he even slipped his fingers because of tears dropped on the piano keys and retook alot.

Sigh, this song is even more emotional and sadder for me now...

[hideisgod]

I got some better headphones, turned up the volume, and wow, I heard it!  Poor Yoshiki... 

[Aerce]

Aww.. Yoshiki getting emotional.

I've never noticed this.. And now I can't listen to the song, since I had it only on my computer, and that was my OLD computer which broke down.. and I lost almost all of my files (music, pictures etc.)

[Dead Fairy]

I just listened to it, too. I cried ever since I heard this song for the very first time and now... and now, after hear him sobbing, I cry even more.
