OPEN MIC WEEK 70: Phil Collins cover!
Well, unless I can get around to putting another one together by Friday, this will have to be an unofficial Open Mic entry this round. For some reason, on the best take I ended up using, I accidentally said "Week 73" instead of "Week 70" ?! No clue why. I think maybe when I checked @luzcypher's page to make sure I was on the right week, I processed his reputation score instead? Who knows. The mind of an artist..
Worse things have happened.
Hopefully I'll get something else up, but if not.. At least I'm involved with the community this week!
It's a classic. Hope you like. Lyrics below.
"You'll Be In My Heart" by Phil Collins
Come, stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always
Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know (what do they know)?
We need each other
To have, to hold.
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me, you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart (you'll be here in my heart)
No matter what they say (I'll be with you)
You'll be here in my heart (I'll be there) always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always
xx,
Kay

Alright, so this took me back. Way back. Back to my working in retail days. This song came on the store sound system at least once per day, for a long time. I know every word. I remember ripping an 18kg bag of dog food and spilling it all over the floor while people watched... to this song.
Actually lol'd. Glad it could be so wonderfully nostalgic.
Honestly, life is hilarious!
Week 73? You're getting a bit ahead of yourself, Kay! Ha! LOL :-) This is a great cover, girl!
hahaha I know. I heard that and was like... "?!? What are you up to, honey?"
That's amazing. I hope it brought some comfort for them! Music doing its thing..
Love hearing you play and sing. Thanks.
:)
Every song you post is seems so effortlessly delivered and always hits the spot, this is beautiful.
What a nice compliment. I appreciate you for saying so! And I'm so happy you listen and enjoy them!
Nice song 😁😁😁
@kayclarity
Thanks!
Love Phil. Nice song choice!
He's the best. I'm only really properly discovering him now. I want to collaborate with him haha. Dream big! :)
I just watched Tarzan with my 2 year old son for the first time, and this song made my eyes tear up as a new father. You cover it beautifully! Mahalo for making great music keep it up!
What cool timing! That's such a beautiful experience to have as a first-time father, so I'm glad I could give you even more of that! What does Mahalo mean?
It means thank you!
Yay! You're awesome! %-))
And once more I’m pleased and happy to hear you sing! You chose a beautiful song that for me, and I guess many more people, brings flashbacks to Tarzan and that nostalgic part of childhood.
By the way, I seriously wrote a reminder about your post. 😂😂
hahaha this is amazing!!
So glad you enjoyed it and it was worth your note! Yes, this song is PURE nostalgia. Phil did a great job with this soundtrack. I don't even really remember the movie all that well, but the music was good!
