I really really like it! It isn't experimental like M e.t.c. but it is a powerful ballad and I can't wait for higher quality versions!

Also, I have had a little go at transcribing the lyrics of the other chorus and this is what I ended up with. I often give these a go just to try and improve my listening but I'm not good (and don't usually post them!) so these are in case anyone just wants something to sing along with until someone else does the lyrics really!

Itsuka hanashiteta
Yume no tsuzuki wo
Itsumo iite ita ano kuchiru seno
Subete wasureraretara raku ta ne
Dakedo hitotsu mo wasuretakunai

And a very very very guessed translation to get a sort of gist of the meaning. I am at uni so don't have any of my dictionaries or textbooks to help me and I'm mostly self taught so please don't be too mean

The dream continued when you spoke
(Something about forgetting or not forgetting)
Everything that you spoke from your lips
Is the one thing I don’t want to forget

Any amendments appreciated

This ballad + alan's my life are the best winter ballads this year. I love slightly sad and powerful ballads...glad to see so mcuh people liking it. Yes the quality definitely hurts my ears at the chorus hahha...very very sharp. But i still can hear the melody at least.

Ahhh love this song! ^_^

I've only listened to it three times, I don't want LQ to ruin it! But it sounds so nice!

The song has an 'epic' feeling to it, like it was destined to run through credits xD

Thanks for the uploads, I'll try not to spoil myself *_*

I'm really impressed by the song. It has a Together When... and Dearest feel to me. A good mix.

It just came to my mind... This song reminds me a lot to M... and now don't go over me!! xD I'm not talking about the melody, her singing, etc... But I find the both have similarities...

They are both winter ballad, with something like bells that tell us that, bot star quiet and go gradually to be more powerful, and both have a solo guitar after chorus ^^

It's just that... XDDD

For me I keep litening to it and it still makes me think about no way to say+carols... though it's stupid to talk about that, this song is just "You were..." xd

But anyway, for me this is, for what I can tell from that preview, the best sad ballad since HEAVEN... for me of course... (and I don't include Marionette in this list of ballads... Marionette is just something different, like GUILTY... xD) Maybe this is to risky to say, because it can happen that after months I won't like this song so much... but I'm sure that this is better than Together when... xDD I'm with nemesis with that... I don't like TW...

And, seriously, I don't know how people fins similarities between Days and You were... O.o

i don't put much hope now,because i did the same for her s/s.listen to a preview and think that the song is nice.end up,i hate it (not really hate it.just feel irritating because the ending part there is too noisy)
but i do hope that the HQ version is nice too
so,now we are waiting for BALLAD.and red line is not available for download,right?
now,i'm impatient already.When can we have or when will they heak HQ for you were?i want to use it for my sms ringtone

AAAaa, Together When...! That's the other song, with No way to say, that I was thinking of, I believe! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks of this as a cross between those two. Not that it's a bad thing. It's like they took the best of those two songs and made a new one, and now it's twice as beautiful.

But no. Not on the level of Dearest--c'mon now, guys. D:

From the preview that I've heard..
the beginning sounds like Curtain Call... the chorus part sounds like No Way To Say + Together When...
i love the part on 02:42
that part should be before the last chorus hits..
but overall, i think it's only good not the best yet.. but don't know, should wait until the HQ version is out~

Don't really like the preview... To me it gives the same feeling as Together When... and it doesn't help that she's just yelling throughout the entire chorus. But basically, it feels the same as the preview from TW... did. Really overdramatic. And TW... is still one of my least favorite songs by her, so I doubt I'm gonna like this song very much... @_@

Should wait for HQ version It's very Christmas-y thou, esp. the instrumental. and as Tom Punks said, she yelled a lot. Which means she's gonna do dat even louder in lives

Just listen to song, so far its sounds pretty good. Its has a little Fated-ish mixed in there too. The quality kinda sucks but, its only a leaked. Can't wait for the HQ version.
