Heather Headley performing “Shadowland” as Nala in the Original Broadway Cast of The Lion King.
This has always, by far, been my favorite song from the show. Heather Headley brings so much raw passion and emotion to the scene and it gives me goosebumps every time. Not to mention the depth of her vocal range is impressive.
I think I’m honestly more excited to see this show live in two weeks than I am to graduate from university in 9 days.
Somebody I Used to Know (Gotye cover) - Sam Tsui
Sam Tsui never fails to impress me.
Cough Syrup - Young the Giant
“If I could find a way to see this straight,
I’d run away to some fortune that I should have found by now.
And so I run to the things they said could restore me,
Restore life the way it should be
I’m waiting for this cough syrup to come down.
Life’s too short to even care at all, oh,
I’m losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control.
One more spoon of cough syrup now…”
Blink-182 - Story of a Lonely Guy
“She makes me feel like it’s raining outside”
Our cover of “Somebody That I Used To Know” is OUT! We hope you all enjoy it!
Yeah. With free download!
Oh, OK. Cool.
I know that things are broken.
And though there’s too many words left unsaid,
You say you have spoken.
Like the coward I am, I hang my head.
And you lie careless, your head on my chest.
And don’t even look at me looking my best.
And all these things I can’t describe
You would rather I didn’t try.
But please, don’t cry—you liar.
They told me love was a fortress
And I had never put it to the test.
All the while, I relied on this “honesty”
Well, in love, we are all amateurs at best.
But please, don’t cry—you liar.
You lean in for your last kiss,
And who in this world could ask me to resist?
Your hands, cold as they find my neck.
All this love that I’ve found I detest.
I Am A Rock - Simon and Garfunkel
This has always been pretty high up on my list of all time favorites.
Don’t talk of love.
Well, I’ve heard the word before
It’s sleeping in my memory,
I won’t disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died.
If I never loved, I never would’ve cried.
I am a rock. I am an island.I have my books and my poetry to protect me
I’m shielded in my armor.
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb,
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock. I am an island.

This cover just fuels my love for the song.
Ugh so good.

Walk of Shame - Not Literally
(Slytherin parody of Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel)
Smarter - Eisley
If I had one wish, it’d be for you and all your friends that didn’t like me.
If I had one wish, it’d be that we had danced more at that apocryphal wedding.
If I sound angry, I’m sorry.
This body can only cry for so long.
And if you want to blame me, then go on:
I’m smiling now ‘cause I’m smarter than you think.
I’m smarter than you.
I’m smarter than you think.
I apologize for not telling you that my halo was cut from paper,
Sliced from the fibers that made up all the parts we were together.
Even though I miss you, I’m thankful.
It’s obvious that this war was futile.
So put your hands together and clap for the painful choice you’ve made,
‘Cause it’s right.
I’m smarter than you.
I’m smarter than you think.
You are the narcissist. You’re everything you saw in me.
Into the sea you fell in love with the reflection of yourself.
I felt the ocean’s grip and swam away to watch you drift.
You failed to see that I’m smarter than you think.
I’m smarter than you think.
I’m smarter than you (I found out).
I’m smarter than you think (The hard way this time).
I’m smarter than you (We were right).
I’m smarter than you think (This was all wrong).
I was “doing homework” when I found that this song goes well rhythmically with this gif:
I found it too amusing not to share. Enjoy.
People talking without speaking.
People hearing without listening.
People writing songs that voices never shared, and no one dared disturb the sound of silence.
Take It All - Adele
Didn’t I give it all? Tried my best?
Gave you everything I had, everything and no less.
Didn’t I do it right? Did I let you down?
Maybe you got too used to having me around.
Still how can you walk away from all my tears?
It’s gonna be an empty road without me right here.
But go on and take it, take it all with you
Don’t look back at this crumbling fool.
Just take it all with my love.
Take it all with my love.
Maybe I should leave to help you see:
Nothing is better than this and this is everything we need.
So is it over? Is this really it?
You’ve giving up so easily,
I thought you loved me more than this.
But go on, go on and take it, take it all with you,
Don’t look back at this crumbling fool.
Just take it all with my love.
Take it all with my love.
I will change if I must
Slow it down and bring it home, I will adjust.
Oh, if only, if only you knew,
Everything I do is for you.
But go on, go on and take it, take it all with you.
Don’t look back at this crumbling fool.
Just take it, take it all with you.
Don’t look back at this crumbling fool.
Just take it all with my love.
Take it all with my love.
Take it all,
With my love.
