If I Could Visit Yesterday / Kasane Teto

If I Could Visit Yesterday feat. Kasane Teto Hello Friends, I am a huge fan of idolm@ster music, and I have always believed that Teto's voice is capable of highly expressive singing. I wanted to write a pop ballad in the traditional idolm@ster style (similar to songs like Aoi Tori, etc), which commonly involves adaptions from classical "bel canto" phrasing, popularized by Italian operas, and championed by Romantic Era composers like Chopin. This song MIGHT be referencing a few of my older songs, sharing the same motif used by Chopin during the 3rd movement of his B minor sonata, but you didn’t hear it from me… STREAMING: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4jXkbt0S0bRt6AVkDoXZce?si=cCMsePj_SkmIcyoWb9sf9g&utm_source=copy-link Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/if-i-could-visit-yesterday/6806371831?i=6806371832 YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=VXRmtZQBUQY&si=v-b5m5xLyCU02-rV Please show some love to the amazing people who worked on this project with me : Vocals: Kasane Teto Music/Lyrics: MiliSen https://x.com/milisenx_x Illustration: guilbas1: https://x.com/Guilbas1 MV: autumnwhitecat https://x.com/autumnwhitecat Off Vocal: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d-jHT7vOZ4MOnkkImwbUVka5wDaf6wrv/view?usp=drive_link LYRICS: Comes the morning light It gently fills the room as I lift my eyes And still I reach for you But all I find is the emptiness that you left behind I could almost hear Your wistful laughter that would always linger here And how you’d always whisper softly in my ear As if those days could somehow still be ours I know it all too well, yet still I’d pretend That if I turned around, I’d see you again If I could visit yesterday When the stars above would guide our way To the place where spring would never fade And tell you the words I couldn’t say Through the years that slowly washed away And ask if you would stay Come what it may On that sleepless night The sound of raindrops drifted by the riverside As you appeared so radiantly in my sight An angel fallen from the somber sky To think that all it takes is one fateful glance But like the river sand, it slipped through my hands As seasons ebb and flow As raindrops turn to snow Still I cannot let you go Still I miss you so More than you’ll ever know In autumn wind the willows sang A song of spring that never came A waning dream that stayed the same Sailing far past the shore Where fallen leaves began to soar Forevermore If I could visit yesterday When the stars above would guide our way To the place where spring would never fade And tell you the words I couldn’t say Through the years that slowly washed away And ask if you would stay Come what it may
