Lawyers & Misfits (To Kill a Mockingbird): Original Song - Piano Acoustic

Hello again! Since my guitar is out of whack (old strings) I decided that in order to bring you another video I had to make use of the piano once again. The recording process only took a few minutes for this, but the computer I use for recording's C-Drive was almost completely filled up, so it took about an hour and a half to finally get it running smoothly. I hope the fruit of my labor is equal to the technical work it took :)

I tried my hand at a court-themed ballad. I've been continually editing this song for weeks and weeks and finally came up with what I dare to call a masterpiece - at least, compared to my other songs. I've tabbed bass and electric guitar parts, and Trevor is coming over on Monday, so expect a video of a piano + guitar arrangement. I messed up a few times, but I hope you enjoy it.

Lawyers & Misfits (To Kill a Mockingbird)

They are looking through this window
They are making this aisle feel so cold
Maybe they'll cry after the fact
But for now they're just whispering behind my back

There's a guilty look in your eyes
Come on, let's see that smile
The one that got me here x2

Whoah-oh-oh-oh, don't try and tell me about witness stand blues
Black suit, black tie's all I need to lose
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, I can tell it's been a while since their hearts have beat
Whoah-oh-oh-oh, guilty sings, and it sings for the streets

They are rehearsing this line
And not to mention this sin
The curse and the deed left this town to the tumbleweeds
Is this what we asked for?

I think I'm gonna have to say good-bye to trust
At least doubt can sing a tune
Is the world crashing down on us?
Or is it crashing down on you?

I was doing a project searching for music for TKAM :) Your really good,:) that is what i think :) :D

[BurntHearts]

I'm not familiar with TKAM, care to explain?

[inuyashalove13]

To kill a mockingbird, have you read the book before?

[BurntHearts]

Oh, yeah, I'm a big fan of it. That's why I named the song. I just didn't make the connection :)

how long did it take yo to wite nice lyrics brenan!

[BurntHearts]

Let's see, the chords took a few days, at first I only had the chords for the chorus and since they're sort of weird, I had trouble writing other chords for the rest of the song, but one day it just came to me. The lyrics actually came pretty fast, basically I write whatever sounds good, even if it doesn't make much sense, as long as it's somewhat related to the theme - in this case a courtroom.

Nice song is this. Sorry to hear about your technical probs. Looking forward to hearing your new projects when you post them. Keep battling on, regards,jh.
