Leesha Harvey-- Let's Play Pretend (Original)

Video made using Garageband, iMovie, and $10 worth of supplies from Hobby Lobby.

Let's Play Pretend

"What a beautiful house," said the postman
To the lady in the polka dot dress
She flashed a smile and said, "Thank you,
I guess you could say we've been blessed."

She went back inside to her kitchen
And pulled out her Valium and scotch
She sat down in front of the flat screen
Looking for some soap to watch

Lets play pretend, lets play pretend
Lock all the doors, don't let anyone in
The inside is hell but the outside is trim
It's easier if we pretend.

"Looks like youve got it all," said the banker
To the man on his right at the bar.
"A beautiful wife, a house and two kids,
And you just bought that fancy new car."
The man flashed a smile and said, "Thank you."
As he ordered them a couple of beers.
But he failed to mention the waitress,
The one he's been dating for years.

Chorus

Never giving an inch, always taking a mile
You can hurt all you want just as long as you fake a good smile

When the children came home on the school bus
They weren't too surprised to find
Daddy was packing his suitcase
And Mommy was losing her mind

The youngest one spoke like a prophet
As she said, "Would you look at yourselves?
Do you really think it will be different,
Pretending with somebody else?"

Chorus

So heavy and so cute all at the same time! Has somebody been watching PBS with the kids and listening to the Beatles or is it just me? ;D

[LeeshaHarvey]

Ha! Such a great comment. As a matter of fact, I *have* been watching PBS with the kids and listening to the Beatles! Does it show that much? :-)

Leesha, love the idea of putting this video and song together to illustrate the story. I always tell the artists at work when making a pitch that all I can draw are stick people and now you have managed to make that look creative. I guess there may be hope for me yet? ;-)

[LeeshaHarvey]

Stick people are about all I can draw as well! I'm really not that great at visual art, but it's fun! I spent a lot of time painting all of this stuff, and thankfully, the pack came with like 50 people, so I had plenty of extras as back-up.

[mobitz57]

oh, and I really like the fish in the bar! it almost looks like a Master Angler Crappie, if I'm not mistaken!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Why yes, yes it is. You'll never guess where I acquired it...

[KGuitarH]

I love this song :)

Can't believe it's been over 2 years since you uploaded it. It definitely deserves more views.

The lyrics are amazing!

Whoever disliked this, seriously has some issues. :)

Mrs. Harvey, err, Leesha, I guess I can say here, used to be the pianist at my school. :D

[reelinglife]

I love this song , so cute

[MonkeysInGreenSocks]

this really makes me think.. no matter how nice ur car is or ur house is u can still be miserable i guess that quote ' love cant buy happiness ' is true

[MrPixelgrower]

This is one talented lady! BRAVO Leesha.

An insightful song.. sad, but more true than we'd care to believe, for most people who show us the PUBLIC face and live a different life. Tiger Woods comes to mind, right away..

Merry Christmas!

[Vaneshka22]

cute! my baby bro loves this!

[korgtodd]
