<p>The <a href="http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/cowboy-bebop-lyrics/adieu-lyrics.html" rel="nofollow">lyrics</a> are clearly from the song  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws8X31TTB5E" rel="nofollow"><strong>Adieu</strong></a> (lyric: Brian Richy, singer: Emily Bindiger):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Been a fool, been a clown <br>
  Lost my way from up and down <br>
  And I know, yes, I know <br>
  And I see in your eyes that you really weren't surprised at me <br>
  At all <br>
  Not at all <br>
  And I know by your smile <br>
  It's you <br></p>
</blockquote>

<p>However the singer in episode 18 is male and I haven't managed to find who he is yet.</p>

<p>I'm on episode 18 of <em>Cowboy Bebop</em>, and I noticed vocal background music sung by a male singer that seemed rather classical in style at the beginning, when there is a montage of Faye at a horserace.</p>

<p>What is the title of this piece? Is it something classical music, or is it an original soundtrack-specific composition? The Wikia for the episode doesn't seem to give me anything.</p>

What's this vocal piece in the beginning of episode 18?

I'm on episode 18 of *Cowboy Bebop*, and I noticed vocal background music sung by a male singer that seemed rather classical in style at the beginning, when there is a montage of Faye at a horserace.

What is the title of this piece? Is it something classical music, or is it an original soundtrack-specific composition? The Wikia for the episode doesn't seem to give me anything.

The [lyrics](http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/cowboy-bebop-lyrics/adieu-lyrics.html) are clearly from the song [**Adieu**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws8X31TTB5E) (lyric: Brian Richy, singer: Emily Bindiger):

> Been a fool, been a clown

> And I see in your eyes that you really weren't surprised at me   
> At all

> And I know by your smile

However the singer in episode 18 is male and I haven't managed to find who he is yet.
