Music is Love: [3/30]

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

As the students enter the room they may notice that the classroom has been decorated in somber tones. The lighting dim and Lorne stands on the stage wearing black.

His face is sad and his usual flamboyance is gone.

"Today kids... Today we're taking it down a notch. Our theme today is songs of woe and angst. Not every song can be a happy one. Sometimes its the sad songs that say so much. Sometimes its not even the song itself that it is sad but the context in that it is used."

Lorne looks up to the sky... or the ceiling rather and points to the heavens. (Or a ceiling tile that looks slightly stained.)

"This one is for you Fred..."

You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear as I lay dreaming
I dreamt that you were by my side
Came disillusion when I awoke dear
You were gone and then I cried

You are my sunshine my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once dear there'd be no other
That no one else could come between
But now you've left me to love another
You have broken all my...

Lorne chokes up a bit at the end and shuts off the karaoke machine that was playing.

"Your turn kids. Let's see what you can do today."

The song Jo picked tended to leave the roadhouse full of hardened hunters sobbing in their beers.

I wished I was smarter
Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way the my wife does

I wished it'd been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could've stood
Where you would've been proud
That won't happen now
That won't happen now

There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow

I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world Now
To the top of the world

I don't have to answer
Any of these questions
Don't have no god to
Teach me no lessons

I come home in the evening
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there
In my chair

There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow

I think I broke the wings
Off a little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Now
To the top of the world

I wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you
All of the things I
Was on the side
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why

Cause everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow?

Gonna grab a hold
Of that little songbird
And take her for a ride
To the top of the world
Right now
To the top of the world

Lorne had no beer to sob into. Instead he just sobs into his faux martini.
