I Can Still…

Written in 1989 / Recorded in 1990 and 1996

This tune was originally written for an unfinished Rock Opera, under a title of One Misty Night in the summer of 1989. Due to the abandoning of the Rock Opera scheme, it was converted an individual pop tune with a newly written lyric called I Can Still… In terms of music, probably I made no modification in these two demo recordings from the early days.

In 1996, the song was picked up through my personal recording scheme; I dubbed as The Soft Core Project and was converted to an instrumental tune. For masking this video, I combined best bits from the early recording of I Can Still… and the one by The Soft Core Project.

If I could go back to the past, I would have taken this tune more seriously and would have tried to play it more often, rather than leaving it untouched for six long years, for it is not only a well-written tune but also it has a nice musical trait that must have suited to me back then.
