Music is Love: [10/17]

"Duets!" Lorne shouts out enthusiastically once everyone has signed in. "Two people! Singing together! Making a song that normally be nifty be extra special!"

"Duets can take many forms. You can have two people sing a regular song and switch off during the verses and chorus and get together on the final refrain. Or you could have a song which is a type of conversation between the two singers, like "Baby it's cold outside", and finally you have the album series "Duets" with great singers like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett who are getting old and so the record companies get younger more popular artists to sing with them in a fitting tribute, sometimes ignoring green skinned crooners who can sing better than any of them! BUT DO I GET AN INVITATION? Nooooooo!"

*cough*

"But I'm not bitter."

"So today kiddies, your job is to get together with a classmate and pick a song to sing with each other. If you're feeling shy? Feel free to ask your Uncle Lorne to sing with you."

ETA: "Oh one more thing kids! With Parents Weekend coming up I'm looking forward to meeting all your parents and inviting them to next week's recital! I'm sure they would be very happy to see you all sing."

It took a moment before he remembered he was supposed to sing along with Marie for the next part. At least it was easier to remember the words like this even if he might have been a beat slower than her.

"In another's eyes
I'm afraid that I can't see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don't realize
And I pray they never do
'Cause every time I look I'm seein' you
In another's eyes"

And then suddenly Marie stopped singing again and Zuko was flailing. Not literally, but inward... he so was.

"In another's eyes
Glarin' back at the sea
I see a flying soul diving desperately"

He might have gotten the lyrics a bit wrong, but he figured it was close enough.

Marie tried not to giggle at Zuko's intrepretation of the lyrics.

To turn the tide before it dies
In another's eyes

Zuko joined back in on the end and he managed to almost sing in time with her.

And what they don't see is killing me
And it's a blessing and a curse that love is blind

In another's eyes
I'm afraid that I can't see
This picture perfect portrait
That they paint of me
They don't realize
And I pray they never do
'Cause every time I look I'm seein' you
In another's eyes
In another's eyes
In another's eyes

And then Zuko was off the stage. Really, really fast.
