Once More With Feeling
by Eric Novak
featuring Deanna Novak
The atmosphere is tense as the sun goes down
It's beautiful, so beautiful, but everyone can see the light is dying
It's dangerous in the dark, so we nestle down
We're tired, so tired, there's nothing to be done until the morning
The killing kind will be out tonight
Bringing death in the dark
The killing kind will be out tonight
Spilling blood 'neath the stars
Are you still there?
-I'm not dead yet
Do you feel scared?
-Not too bad yet
Please remember me
-How could I forget
and I'll sing to you in the morning
The sky begins to pale on the Eastern side
It's quiet, so quiet, but everyone can feel the light arriving
It was dangerous in the dark but we made it out
It's beautiful, so beautiful, the sun will be here soon to call the day in
The killing kind is far away
We can finally see in the dawn
The killing kind is gone away
And it's time to start up the song
Are you still there?
-I'm not dead yet
Did you get some rest?
-I'm feeling my best
What should we do today?
-Let's build on what we've got
And I'll sing with you in the morning
Once more with feeling
Are you still there?
-I'm not dead yet
Did you get some rest?
-I'm feeling my best
What should we do today?
-Let's build on what we've got
And I'll sing to you in the morning
This song imagines what the birds might be talking to each other about in those very active twilight and dawn birdsong hours.
<technical note - apologies for some of the clipping sound issues - I spent time trying to correct vocal issues and didn't catch some mix issues.
Also, apologies for some of the vocal issues - believe me there were worse takes before, but I'm the kind of singer that benefits from lotsa practice š >
