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."

Emo? Some people are fundamentally incapable of emo.

Sokka hops up onto the stage (wearing the pimp hat, of course) and, as the music starts, does bouncy happy little step-touches with a mournful expression on his face.

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today
(That's my soul up there)
It's the same old thing as yesterday
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
(That's my soul up there)
There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
(That's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

king of pain
king of pain
king of pain
I'll always be king of pain...

"A song of despair and woe offset by a gorgeous hat," Lorne said too weak from the emo to clap. "Wonderful."
