This is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard.
It's avril singing her song "Slipped Away".... its a live video of it from a concert she had across seas.... it sounds amazing. it's just her playing the piano and singing the song...
http://s33.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=086KVG26F17OA14EWQREP41D9T click that to download it....
the best part is the bridge... its about 2:20 into the video.... when she sings...
I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up?
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere you're not coming back
and then she continues into the last chorus and it's SO emotional.....
If you download that and listen to it and aren't affected by the emotion she's putting into the song then there isn't a damn thing in this world that's gonna get through to you.
I can't even stop watching the video.
Besides the fact that the song itself, especially the bridge to the end of it, is absolutely amazing.... she's sitting there doing EXACTLY what I want to do with my life. I want SO bad to just sit with me and a piano in an arena like that with people there wanting to see me playing my songs that I've written. I can't even explain it. It sounds like such a cheesy thing and that whole "cliche' dream" totally comes out when I try to explain it... but thats what I want. I want the cliche' dream of having all of that happen in a cinderella-like way. I want to be playing where she's playing someday. I hate being here otherwise. There's nothing else for me. School isn't cutting it - i'm learning nothing there. Every other job in the world sounds like the most boring thing I've ever heard of. I don't want to be the person that gets changed by other people their whole life. I want to be the person that can change somebody else.
I want to play my songs on a piano in an arena infront of people that want to hear my story and what I have to share.
Download the video..... it's really good....
