Fake Empire Cover - The National (Piano &Violin)

Offscreen Alissa Jacobsen onviolin. If you can dedicate covers, this is for Becky Wilson.

Stay out super late tonight
picking apples, making pies
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
we're half-awake in a fake empire
we're half-awake in a fake empire

Tiptoe through our shiny city
with our diamond slippers on
do our gay ballet on ice
bluebirds on our shoulders
we're half-awake in a fake empire
we're half-awake in a fake empire

Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything at once
It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
we're half-awake in a fake empire
we're half-awake in a fake empire

I'm not familiar with this song, but I like the style in which you sing at it's in a good range for your voice. You have a little bit of Allanis Morriset (sp?) sound going on. Choose more songs like this for the future. Also, I liked the touch with the violin. Nice playing to both of you!! Mrs. Hintz
