A cover of Sally's Song from Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. :)

This was just a quickie -- it was a lot faster to record because I was able to skip the writing lyrics, haha! (Though I will be returning to writing after this -- it's harder, but a lot more fulfilling!) Sally is one of my favorite Tim Burton characters, and I think her song is just so beautiful and tragic. I couldn't resist doing a cover! The gorgeous piano arrangement I used can be found here:

[[ LYRICS: ]]

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last

And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become...
For I am not the one...
