Lorraine Ashby - Goodnight Moon (Shivaree Cover with LYRICS)

-
An Alfred Hitchcock movie in song (or rather Quentin Tarantino) 🎬🎞️📽️🎥🍿
Not sure whose gotta wilder, runaway imagination, our intrepid beauty in the song 'Goodnight Moon' who’s all alone at home and fears for her life or Quentin Tarantino with one of his many confrontational and conflicting movies including KILL BILL Volume 2 which this awesome song features in ending credits. 😜🤪
Even after a decade of years, some things are still worth waiting for - ⏳⌛🎵🎙️🎤👩‍🎤👏👏👏
I have a very dear RUclips and fellow Aussie friend Lorraine who has done a wonderful job over the years of recording many of her own RUclips covers of many great songs and some not so well known but Lorraine does have a superb voice and I for one have always encouraged her to continue on with her fabulous rendition recordings. However, I did have an issue with her which must date back to over 10 years ago now when I enthusiastically asked Lorraine one day to do a rendition of a favourite song at the time ‘Goodnight Moon’ by Shivaree which I thought would not only suit her voice but also her style of singing. After much pondering she came back to me and said that the voice range wasn’t suited to her of which I felt was a nonsense and I did persist for a time to change her mind but unfortunately it wasn’t to be.
Fast forward the clock a ‘decade later’ and low and behold to my ‘great shock’ after going to Lorraine’s RUclips Channel to see if she had done any recent RUclips Music Cover Videos which I’ve always enjoyed watching and indeed, Lorraine had done a new RUclips Music Video but to my absolute amazement and astoundment she had recorded the song that I’d asked her all those years ago ‘Goodnight Moon’ to do. Furthermore, not only was her voice range more than adequate but she had done an absolutely superlative rendition of the song, in fact it really ‘blew me away’ such was her fab performance.
I did at the time want to make a comment to congratulate her on such a exceptional recording of 'Goodnight Moon' but unfortunately the comments section was ‘turned off’ but alas I thought to myself since Lorraine after all these years was kind enough to eventually do her own cover of ‘Goodnight Moon’, then I at the very least should do my own RUclips Music Video of Lorraine’s rendition of the song to show my appreciation for her covering this song. So if you’re out there Lorraine, this RUclips Music Video is ‘especially for you’..... best regards your fellow Aussie friend Richard the Lionheart !!!

Shivaree - Goodnight Moon - LYRICS
There's a nail in the door and there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor and the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone
There's a blade by the bed and a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor and some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops and I just can't stand
What should I do? Just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door and followed me home
Now goodnight moon, I want the sun
If it's not here soon I might be done
No, it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
There's a shark in the pool and a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed, now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall
Oh, what should I do? Just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door it followed me home
Now goodnight moon, now I want the sun
If it's not here soon I might be done
No, it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
Well, you're up so high
How can you save me when the dark comes here
Tonight to take me out my front walk
And into bed where it kisses my face
And eats my head
What should I do? Just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door it followed me home
Now goodnight moon, now I want the sun
If it's not here soon I might be done
No, it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
No, it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
