Happy New Year!
This is a VideoSong (special thanks to Jack Conte for coming up with the format) of my cover of Duvet by böa for the Talent Contest on anijunkie.com. Even MORE special thanks goes straight to Alice/yofauner (who, coincidentally, also likes Jack Conte's work) for playing the strings and Aru-san for making the PSA and its musical intro and outro. Also, lots and lots of extra special thanks to Mom for helping me to finish this on-time by pacing me for time! Wouldn't have finished it without her!

And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling
I am fading
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame that I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle lit smile that we both share
And you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling
I am fading
I am drowning, help me to breathe
I am hurting
I have lost it all
I am losing, help me to breathe
Help me... to... breathe.

Enjoy, everybody! *dances down* I can't believe I finished this on time... *sighs a breath of relief* Right up to the last minute...

You are pretty much awesome in my book. I don't typically watch people doing homemade karaoke/covers... but this blew my expectations out of the water. I think I love you :)

[HomeStarRunnerTron]

-- Thank you so very much for including me in your book of Awesome! I try mah' very best. -- I'm still not QUITE satisfied with the MIXING I did on this cover! Plus, I seem to have killed the audio bit-rate when exporting it. I started re-mixing all the parts, but it still doesn't sound QUITE right. (After a while of harmonizing, all the parts get very disorganized.) But thank you VERY much, all the same. -- D'aaw, well, I very much appreciate the love! *grins*

[irahkins]

This is cool=)

haha, left handers, unite!

[HomeStarRunnerTron]

Thank you so very much, Irah! *grins*

-- LAWL-- nice noticing of which hand I write with. *crosses eyes* Go, right-brainers!

[KarasuHato]

That was amazing. I've never seen Lain, it does seem absolutely terrifying, but I love Duvet, and you did an amazing job.

[HomeStarRunnerTron]

Thank you so VERY much. *grins* One night, my dad was watching it on Season DVD, and I couldn't get to bed that night. It's an incredible, intellectually challenging series... and I definitely wasn't one that was able to handle it. I'm an overtly imaginative person, and it really broke my loose grip on reality. *crosses eyes* But I love the song, as well, and wanted to experiment with it! Thank you VED'DY much.

[HomeStarRunnerTron]

*cracks up* It almost, just ALMOST looks exactly like Big Caslon! I've worked years trying to make it look exactly like type-font.

... but not really. And I'd like to apologize for the audio quality in this! Some really strange things happened when I was mixing-- but if you listen to the MP3 in the description, it's a stark contrast of night and day, as far as clarity goes. Plus, I got rid of most of the stupid left-right channel circulation.

[CourtneyStepz]

Sorry watched already.

Before I started this video.

[TheDeathOfChaos]

I loved Serial Expirements of Lain, that anime is great.

[unacanciontriste]

Really funny!!. :DDDDDDDDDDD Nice video and cover!!. ;)

[AlwaysMyVictorianne]

i love your voice! ^_^

[eve34]

sorry i already watched it XD

[KarasuHato]

You're quite welcome. I still sort of marvel over it, because it's one of the best covers I've heard so far. I've listened to a lot of covers, for any number of songs in any number of languages. I've pitched this song as well, but even so, I still like the way you sound with this song more. I actually had this on my ipod for the longest time, though I think it may have gotten lost when my ipod got corrupted. I'd have to check...

[irahkins]

You're very welcome!=)

Haha!

We're more creative than the right handed people...*cough*...haha
