Killing Me Softly

I heard he sang a good song,
I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
Stranger to my eyes

Chorus:
Stromin my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
Singin my life with his words (two times, two times)
Killing me softly with his song x2
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrased by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud,
I pray that he would finish
But he just kept right on

I love the range of this arrangement. I like how you started one octave higher. and then went very low. Which voice are you using ????

by far the best cover of this song on youtube !!!!!!

[paulwwells]

@ca03ldesena Thank you. I'm glad you noticed the use of different octaves, I really don't like straight repeats of verses; without the lyrics they all sound the same. I cannot remember exactly what sounds I used, probably just the main piano sound with some bass mixed in at the lower half of the keyboard.

Well finished your arrangement of Sweet Love, with the exception of the fade out add lib chords at end of piece, and finished note for note your arrangement of I'm Not in Love" classic piece and excellent arrangement. Next is Killing me Softly. Also doing final touches on Jon England's version of Laughing in the Rain. He is a little 'bombastic' in style i.e 'Liberace-ish', but overall (excluding the cheesy synth bridge), he does a solid job on it. Still you capture the heart of.
