Willow... unplugged

In chapter 10 ("Adrenaline Rush") I quoted a song by Joan

Armatrading, "Willow", one of my all time favourite tunes.

The only thing that bothers me about this song:

I didn't write it - LOL! Anyway..

I promised my friend Uhyesplease

to sing it for her as a Christmas present.

In order to come as close as possible to the idea of being with

her, like maybe sitting at her kitchen table with my guitar...

I sung it right into the computer's built-in mic, totes unplugged.

Well, I guess I could need a little more practice with the guitar.

But she liked it anyway, and allowed me to share it here.

This is how I quoted it in Your True Colors:

Thunder – don't go under the sheets

Lightning – under a tree

In the rain and snow, I'll be your fireside

Come running to me when things get out of hand

Running to me when it's more than you can stand

I said I'm strong, straight, willing

To be a shelter in a storm

Your willow, when the sun is out

“Willow”

Joan Armatrading

To Uhyesplease: Thanks for beta'ing some sense into my

silly little fanfic, and for your friendship which means so

much more to me than I can tell. Heart you!!

(In case anyone's interested in what some of my own music sounds like if it is recorded in a studio - here's an example. There's a few more at my Betti.Music.Twilight blog, if you check the "Listen to some Music (MP3)"-tag in the right sidebar...
