當年已經非常喜歡阮兆祥的「In Your Eyes」, 也記得這張黑膠. 都唔知有沒有出過CD版呢, 有.. 我都想買番. 上年找到這首原版, 一樣喜歡. 又是樂意的製作呀!

阿阮兆祥好似就黎同王祖藍幾隻騎呢怪開個唱, 不知會唔會這首歌.

Wow, I have this song on the "Rock In Selection"! Never really appreciate those that much until recently! 樂意/Rock In Records was really great! A lot of Italo/Euro covers! They didn't just copy the originals! They brilliantly using all 12" Remixes' elements, breaking & reforming, finally reconstructed their own 7" cover versions!

Louis Yuen was great! Too bad his singing career didn't take-off! Probably he doesn't got the look! Like the song (original/cover) more after I've listened to it in this post! I really would prefer/appreciate Louis' version more due to the brilliant production/arrangements!

To give you all an idea:
louis
0.00 intro
0.24 1st verse
1.06 in your eyes
1.23 music (* inserted from elsewhere of the song, original cut straight to verse 2)
1.39 2nd verse
2.05 in your eyes
2:23 music
2.47 in your eyes
3:04 in your eyes


reeds
0.00 intro
0.24 1st verse
1.05 in your eyes
1.24 2nd verse
2.06 in your eyes
2.21 music
3.05 backing
3.38 backing
4.11 music
4.28 music
4.54 music
5.43 backing

Hmmm, just found out: they were using the Dance Version with Soft Version's arrangements! Still very interesting!

12" Dance Version 5:12 here:

I couldn't find who was responsible but I found a story from the lyricist 黃志華:

Reeds-In Your Eyes lyrics

I was walk alone again in the street
When I saw that you were looking for me
Your sweet face and your wonderful eyes

I'm falling in love...

I was waiting for your love every day
When I meet you I just realized
Maybe one day we can go far away

I need your love...

You gave me this new sensation
Nothing can take her away

In your eyes
Tonight I'm looking for love
In your eyes
Tonight I'm finding your love

I don't love you just for a game
In my heart there is a passion for you
For my mind it thunder only your name

Give me your love...

I see our future in your blue eyes
With my soul I'll devote it to you
We will dream together our new life

Singing you song...

You gave me this new sensation
Nothing can take her away

In your eyes
Tonight I'm looking for love
In your eyes
Tonight I'm finding your love


By the way the Reeds' version included here was "cooked" (sound quality is bad)!

Full length Extended 6:31 here:

Okay, I made an edit of the Dance Version (to get close to Louis'), Soft Version (like in the video) & Re-constructed version (the closest to Louis', but not 100% satisfied due to limitation of my sources)! Maybe you can post/share it!

What a review, Griffin! I have updated the original file, as well as adding your edit. I really think you ought to start a new blog to post your own edits! ;)

Also updated the file of Daydream - In The Night.

No, I'm a contributer! No, blog of my own (I'm clueless on how to set it up etc.)! It's fine like now! I'm very glad with your Re-posts, which give me the chance to listen to the ones posted in the past! And once again check for the "inspired by" version/mix! Sometimes the sound quality of your posts (vinyl)! Then I'll try to find a better one for the replacement! ;-) I hope more will be re-post to get the chance of a revival! If this wasn't re-posted you was stuck with the "cooked" version! I hope you know what I meant! That's was I believe the term it was used for those MP3's in the beginning with the bad quality sound during all the up/downloading, reformat, etc.

What's your opinion on my edit? I hope other will enjoy it! ;-)
