Sophia Instrumental

Though I made this originally for my Sophia cover, that still is not ready. However, in the meantime, I thought I'd put it up so that other Nerina lovers could use it! Lyrics are below! If used, PLEASE credit me and post a link or video response below, because I'd love to see what you do with it!
Although technically I did play this myself, I had a lot of help from Mr Garage band. Basically, I gave up piano 6 years ago, and struggle with it, as I'm not the most talented pianist in the world. Or, to put it bluntly, I just managed to pass my Grade One. Ah well.
Sheet music used was from the official Nerina Pallot 'Fires' songbook.

Use it well, young one's!!!
Love Sapphire

Lyrics:

5 o'clock and a fire escape symphony,
Spilling out across the road and the square,
And the sky's the same as your own, do you think of me?
Do the parks, and trees, and the leaves, reach you, there?
After the rain, in the lonely hours he haunts me, calling out,
Again and again.

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning.
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
I can't go without and one of them is him.

And now I walk these streets like a stranger in my home town,
Learn the language, form the words when I speak,
But he changed me, I'm his ghost since he came around,
And now I count the hours and the days in the weeks.

Passion and silence,
Every word, every line, a measure,
It's the science of the soul,
And his books, they breathe a reason and now I want to know...

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning,
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
I can't go without and one of them is him.

You, with your new born eyes,
Have you ever loved a man like I love him?
Do you hurt but still feel alive, like never before?
Oh, Sophia, Sophia.

Sophia, Sophia, I'm burning, I'm burning,
It's a fire, it's a fire, I cannot put out,
Sophia, Sophia, I'm learning that some things,
I can't go without and one of them is him.

Lovely, much better than I've been playing it! May I use this to do a cover please? x

[SapphireLovesTheSea]

@ConfuzzledMusician97 Aw, you are probably way better than me! I really struggled without using Garageband to help me. Using Garageband is cheating; I'm a very bad person...Of course you can! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

[ConfuzzledMusician97]

@SapphireLovesTheSea I'm really not, your version sounds lovely :D Well,. when I'm allowed back on the computer properly (this is just an interlude because my wonderful mother took pity on my loneliness) I shall record it - I'll upload some Regina Spektor covers I've been doing as well :)

[SapphireLovesTheSea]

@ConfuzzledMusician97 Thank you, but you are better! Brillo! I can't wait! Mayhap we could do some form of duet later on as well?

[DarlingSummers]

You, mo chara, are seriously multitalented :D I can't believe you haven't put up piano covers before, because you're really good! You played it beautifully; I loved the dynamics you used, especially in the 'Do you hurt, but still feel alive like never before' phrase :D I can't wait for the version with vocals! Out of interest, what keyboard do you use? It's lovely :)

[SapphireLovesTheSea]

@DarlingSummers Aw, thank you! I don't think it counts as a cover though; I was unable to lay it ll unaided without Garageband, so I don't think this really counts as a proper cover. But I cam claim the dynamics, so thank you! I may have to fiddle around with the pitch; some of the songs in the songbook are in the wrong key, which makes them awkward to sing...(*Gives Nickindia sheet music a dirty look*). I'm not sure...it's one that plugs into my computer. I'll find out for you if you want :)
