• Almost Lover (Partial Cover)

  Just me, my piano, and the first verse and chorus. I decided to put a slightly different twist on the introduction to the verse. A little flat on a couple notes, but go easy on me – this was pretty much literally my second time singing the song after listening to it while trying to transpose the key and figure out harmonies! x]

   

  Almost Lover by a Fine Frenzy, covered by me

  Your fingertips across my skin,
  The palm trees swaying in the wind,
  Images
  You sang me Spanish lullabies,
  The sweetest sadness in your eyes,
  Clever trick

  I’d never want to see you unhappy
  I thought you’d want the same for me

  Goodbye, my almost lover
  Goodbye, my hopeless dream
  I’m trying not to think about you
  Why can’t you just let me be?

  So long, my luckless romance
  My back is turned on you
  I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
  Almost lovers always do

   

  It’s a great song. Hope you enjoyed my impromptu rendition.

  -b.
