    Paul, this is a really great arrangement - the section around 3:12 is hauntingly beautiful! I’m sending this to my dad who loves this song :)
    I’d love to hear your interpretation of the Piano Guys’ original song All of Me - I feel like there’s so much you could do with it!

      Thanks Sarah! Glad you like this - say hi to your dad from me! I’ll listen to Jon’s All of Me again - I know I’ve heard it before .. he’s a fantastic musician - I can’t imagine what I could do with it that he already didn’t ❤️❤️❤️…. But I’ll listen I promise

    Paul, not gonna lie... I laughed when I saw today's title. I was listening to SiriusXM yesterday, 90's on 9, and the techno version of this song played. I was trying to picture you rocking out a techno version. 🤣🤣. Your version is stunning, as always, but im not gonna lie..... the version playing in my head was super entertaining too!!!! 😋😋

    Lori Lieberman originally composed it on her guitar for Roberta Flack, if I'm not mistaken.

    • @Marco-ns7ih
      @Marco-ns7ih ปีที่แล้ว

      Not really. Lori co-wrote the song together with Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel. But it wasn't composed for Roberta Flack. Lori sang the original version, Roberta heard Lori's song, she liked it and covered it.

    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
    This is Wyclef, Refugee Camp (L-Boogie up in here)
    Praswell (Praswell up in here, haha)
    Lil' Base sittin' up here on the bass (Refugees up in here)
    While I'm on this, I got my girl L (ah, ah)
    One time (one time), one time (one time)
    Ayo, L, you know you got the lyrics
    I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
    And so I came to see him, and listen for a while
    And there he was, this young boy, stranger to my eyes
    Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
    Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)
    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
    I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
    I felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loud
    I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on
    Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time, one time)
    Singing my life with his words (two times, two times)
    Killing me softly with his song
    Killing me softly with his song
    Telling my whole life with his words

    Yo, L-Boog, take me to the bridge
    Whoa

    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 (whole life, with his words)
    Killing me softly with his song
    Yo, put your hands together for L-Boogie (strumming my pain)
    From the Refugee Camp (yeah, yeah)
    (Singing my life) up in here, you know how we do, L-Boogie up in here
    Wyclef, Praswell, said L-Boogie up in here
    Wyclef up in here
    My man Lil' Base (Praswell up in here)
    Jerry one time
    T Rocks up in here, we got Warren up in here
    This is how we (Warren up, up in here, Outsiders up here)
    We got Fallon up in here, Mulaney, Mulaney's up in here
    (Refugee Camp, Refugee Camp, yeah)
    Everybody got a breakin' point kid
    And they'll rat on you
    The family niggas will rat on you
    That's why we gotta be prepared to take whoever out we need to
