I love this song and everything about the show it comes from. If you know Adam Guettel, sleep with him, and tell him that I would like to work with him. That is all. Okay...so I did sing over the recording, but I'm okay with it. Unless you have a track I can sing to, I did what I had to do. I'd gladly re-record it if you have one, though. Matt Morrison, eat your face off.
The song I've uploaded and taken down like three times. Here for the first time non-acapella! I found a midi file for it and it's very exciting! Sorry it's out of sync just a bit. I don't know why:( It's still not what I want it to be...especially acting-wise. But then, discontent breeds creativity, right?
Ha ha, don't I just completely look like a Clara!? Ok, well, it's a pretty song anyway:)
