Voice post
There is the sound of a throat being cleared.

So my savage beast has been needing a great deal of soothing lately. So I decided to try and pick up a new friend. This is my friend Mandy.

There's a delicate strum over the strings of a mandolin.

I know not very original, but it suits her. To attempt to balm over my anger, and wrathful side I taught myself to play one of my favorite songs. And I'm in a good enough mood to share it with ya'll. Have a listen.

(All the electric guitar bits are replaced with her playing the mandolin.)

Her husky alto wasn't far off from the male lead.

Tell me have you ever wanted
Someone so much it hurts,
Your lips keep trying to speak
But you just can't find the words?
Well, I had this dream once,
I held it in my hand.

He was the purest beauty,
But not the common kind.
He had a way about him
That made you feel alive,
And for a moment,
You made the world stand still.
Yeah we owned the night.

You had me dim the lights,
You danced just like a child.
The wine spilled on your shirt,
And all you did was smile.
Yeah, it was perfect,
And I hold it in my mind.
Yeah, we owned the night.

When the summer rolls around,
And the sun starts sinkin' down,
I still remember you,
oh I remember you.
And I wonder where you are,
Are you looking at those same stars again?
Do you remember when...

We woke under a blanket,
All tangled up in skin,
Not knowin' in that moment
We'd never speak again.
But it was perfect, I never will forget
When we owned the night.

Yeah, we owned the night.

Yes!

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Honest critiques are welcome, ones that are just plain mean spirited will be ignored. Because, well, even you can't bring me down from my high right now.

	I...thought the singing was done? Or is this more of a special treat sort of thing? ~~Was it abou~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The forced singing is done, this was purely voluntary. I used to sing a lot. It kinda faded after things got bad. Things seem a little brighter now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's good. Is it uh...I mean, 'cause of what I think it might be? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The singing? Yes, the song... Not so much. It's talking about something that's come and gone. Or that's how I've interpreted it. If I was going to sing a song about recent events, it would be Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker. With a few choice word changes of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, the singing. And it's okay? That's it's past. Seems a little more like I should be singin' that one. Especially if the video's anything to go by. Except I can't sing. Or play guitar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, but also, the mandolin sounds awesome with it. You know, I might have to figure a way to hear you for myself. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wow...! I think that Lindir elf bloke couldn't hold a candle to you... Though admittedly, I've yet to hear him sing, rather than merely whinge! Ha! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hah! Thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're quite welcome, ma'am! Thanks for sharing this song, rather...! I mean, it's a beautiful song... Reminds me of something or other, really... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2013-07-04 03:55 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, me too. But the other, isn't so sad anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent)
