Rue's Lullaby with voice and guitar by Elly

Lyrics taken from The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. wait for the harmony! I like harmony. I'm just a fan who thought it would be fun to interpret what that song would sound like as more than just lyrics. I'm not trying to imitate Katniss. I didn't make this tune to fit to any standards, it just came out how I felt and I hope it will inspire sad feelings, happy feelings, any feelings at all. Thanks for your feedback.

One night I just sat down and it didn't take too long to throw some chords together. I didn't record more than a couple times so I realize it's not perfect. It's my first video (well not really video) but I hope that you enjoy it. If you don't enjoy it, then go read the hunger games and enjoy that instead, and if you don't enjoy that... well.....then I just don't understand you.

Lyrics! :

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
And when they open, the sun will rise

Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet--
--and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away

Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet--
-- and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Here is the place where I love you.

I switch them around in places but it's just those four so I hope you can figure it out :D

very best of luck,

You have Katniss' voice. This is the exact soft and beautiful lullaby that made Rue's death even more sadder and heartfelt. The voice Peeta said made the birds stop to listen. :) Please do "The Hanging Tree". I would love to hear that. I'm annoyed with the upbeat ones eve though its sad and suspenseful.

[charlietheunicorn711]

Absolutely beautiful! You brought tears to my eyes when it got to "Hear is the place where I love you." I appreciate that you made your own tune instead of using Yiruma. Bravo!
