Me singing "Changer" by Anais Mitchell

UPGRADES!!! No more webcams for me. I've even picked up a mic stand since recording this back in October. While a better mic and possibly even separate microphones for accompaniment and vocals may still come in the future, this is still a MAJOR improvement if you've seen any of my other videos. Ah, sweet progress.

You probably won't be able to miss my beast of a dog making a lovely appearance to break the mood right around the two minute mark. Meet Ebi, the tiny newfoundland with a heart the size of a planet.

At any rate, I'm glad to be back yet again with a lovely song by Anais Mitchell. Here are the lyrics:

If I can't keep it at least let me call it by name
That was called falling, this is called pain
It's called love what I'm losing
I know love is a stranger
I know that changes come
I know love is a changer

I'm gonna go quietly, you don't have to tell me to
Just let me lie a little longer next to you
Not tryin' to bother you
I'm just tryin' to breathe you in
And then I will leave you there
Where you are sleeping

Speaking of loving you, I do
I'm telling you stranger to stranger
Whatever changes come to you
I'm telling you changer to changer

Morning has stolen your shadow from me
But I hold its shape in my mind
It's the shape of your back
When you turned it on me, one last time

And out in the waking world nobody understands
Exactly how light it is, exactly how free I am
One minute I'm laughing
And the next one I'm lost
I'm watching the birds fly by
Watching the highways cross

Speaking of loving you, I do
I'm telling you stranger to stranger
Whatever changes come to you
I'm telling you changer to changer

If I can't keep it, at least let me call it by name

Lovely version! Its very hard to cover her songs, I've found because of how distinctive her style is but you've really made this your own. Well done. It's beautiful!
