Jamie Browning - LOVELY

Released in 1999 and written the year before that, this song eerily follows almost the same story line as "The Lovely Bones" even though I didn't read the book until 2008. Friends and fans alike had been bugging us to upload the video in case film director Peter Jackson stumbled across it here. Or even better, we should contact him directly. In case he cared, or wanted to use the song in the film.
But you can't just call the man up on the phone!
And, I'd be more interested in what Alice Sebold thinks anyway.

Written by Jamie Browning and Mark Northey © SOCAN 1999.
From the album "Myth Conception".
Recorded and Produced by Daryl Purdy.
Video directed by Mitch Perkins and Rick Palidwor, Friendly Fire Films. http://www.friendlyfirefilms.ca/

LYRICS:

LOVELY
Lovely, Lovely
My mother thinks I'm lovely
And now so think you, so say you
Who are you, how do you do
You follow me out to the woods,
Lay me down on cold wet ground
Lay with me, play with me, flay me and slay me

Lovely, Lovely
My father thought me lovely
And then so did you, so said you
Oh what are you, what did you do
I follow you fresh from my grave
So shallow that my new shoes show
Give me peace, sweet release,
Please, a piece of you at least!

Lovely, life was lovely
My lovely life's no more

Lovely, Lovely
My family cries out "Lovely!"
So did you, you cried too
Now how are you, what did they do
I follow a new trail of blood
Your broken back your black top hat
Where am I, flying high
To my rest up in the sky

Lovely, life was lovely
My lovely life's no more.....
