  • Hey!
    Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy my original musical arrangement of "A-Crawling to You," lyrics by Suzanne Collins in her new Hunger Games novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I saw the words "yoo-hoo" and I knew that, at least in my mind, this is what the song sounded like! lol!
    Also, sorry about the angle... I guess when you're trying to record by yourself in the staircase to your attic, you sometimes cut off part of your forehead! Haha! Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
    The lyrics are set to my original melody and ukulele composition called "Dirt Road Jive," which I own the rights to.

    Lyrics p. 362-364
    My heart's stupid and that's not maybe.
    Can't blame Cupid, he's just a baby.
    Shoot it, boot it, execute it,
    Still comes a-crawling to you-hoo.
    Heart's gone funny, it won't hear reason.
    You're like honey, you bring the bees in.
    Sting it, wring it, give a fling, it
    Still comes a-crawling to you.
    I wish it mattered that
    You chose to smash it up.
    How come you shattered that
    Thing I love with?
    Did you feel flattered that
    You could just trash it up?
    That's why you battered that
    Thing I love with.
    Trapped my ticker but haven't freed it.
    People snicker at how you treat it.
    Snare it, tear it, strip it bare, it
    Still comes a-crawling to you-hoo.
    Heart's been jumping just like a rabbit.
    Blood keeps pumping but that's just habit.
    Drain it, pain it, I'm insane, it
    Still comes a-crawling to you.
    Burn it, spurn it, don't return it,
    Break it, bake it, overtake it,
    Wreck it, deck it, what the heck, it
    Still comes a-crawling to you.

    OH MY GOODNESS! I have listened to A LOT of covers of Lucy Gray’s songs, but all of yours are all the best! Your voice is so beautiful. I love the fun and up beat touch you put on all of the songs. When I was reading the book, the songs sounded like this in my head. Amazing Job!

    A Crawling To You

    Trapped my ticker but haven't freed it.
    People snicker at how you treat it. Snare it, tear it, strip it bare, it
    Still comes a-calling to you-hoo.
    Heart's been jumping just like a rabbit. Blood keeps pumping but that's just habit.
    drain it, pain it, I'm insane, it
    Still comes a-crawling to you.
    Burn it, spurn it, don't return it,
    Break it, bake it, overtake it,
    Wreak it, deck it, what the heck, it
    Still comes a-crawling to you.

    Your covers of Lucy Gray's songs are my absolute favourites! This one is so playful and exactly the kind of thing I had been imagining when I read it - and your Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird is just wonderful :) I'm going to see the film soon so I just had to remind myself of the brilliance of your versions before I see what the film has done with the songs!

    I love your versions of all of Lucy Gray's songs and I'm not sure if you notice or even knew but in every video you do one of her songs you're wearing something with a bright color on it and that just brings out Lucy even more and I love it also I love your outfit in this video it's beautiful!

  • @KolaKrauze
    @KolaKrauze 3 года назад +2

    This is amazing. I'm currently recording the "Books for the Blind" version of this book and I try to sing all the songs the way you do them (within my limited range). Very excellent work, you bring vibrant life to something that's pretty dead on the page to be honest. Keep up the excellent work!

      I’m using a concert sized ukulele, and there are honestly so many chords. I will have to get back to you on that because I’m not sure which ones I’m even using. 😅

    • @SeebsL

      I'll add my voice to the request for chords or tutorial. It's probably beyond my skill level since I haven't got the hang of chucking yet but this is on my "wish I could play" list.
