Killing Me Softly

great song

this song was originally done by Roberta Flack, and the song is about Don McClean

you really want people to know that, huh xheartbreakerx?

ha

this song reminds me of friends who have died.. i dont know why but it does. and every time i have to sing it for either vocal training or even a show i find it hard not to cry as this is one of the songs that i would listen to if i thinking of those people. but also it is a kind of release for me and puts me at ease if i am feeling upset about the friends of mine who have before passed.

"I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style." -she is talking about how she goes to lik a poetry place,and everyone was telling her about this poet and how good he was

"And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes" -she is talking about how she had never met this guy b4

"Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words, killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song, telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song." -she is talking about how she was hearing his poem,and she related to the poem so much,she knew that poem was talking about her

"I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd, I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud. I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on" -she was shocked by how much she related to the poem,that she felt he found her diary and read all her pages.she felt almost embarresed by it.

"He sang it as he knew me in all my dark despair and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there. But he was there this stranger singing clear and strong" -she felt like he new her inside and out.she felt that he was there through all the good and bad times,yet she new he was just a stranger.she felt as if they new each other but he looked at her lik a stranger also

overall one of my favorites!!!!

i don't understand what the song is about but everytime i hear/sing it, i want to cry.

this is my fav song of all time. i love to write poems and songs and get all my feelings out and this song meansto me that he is killing her softly because he knows her inner most secrets and feelings yet she has never seen him in her life. omg, i olve this song and her rendition of it and i get goosebumps everytime i hear it. or sing it.
