"Killing me Softly With His Song" was a song my parents used to play a lot when I was a child and I didn't hear or listen to that song for almost 10 years. A couple weeks ago, I heard the song on The Voice and it sounded really familiar to me. When I went home and sang it to my mom, she immediately recognized it and told me how she used to play it a lot when I was younger.]]> 2017-04-12 14:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sisha20/206e7v8yph1g/wish/166085608 sisha20 https://padlet.com/sisha20/206e7v8yph1g/wish/166085799 The original song by Roberta Flack]]> 2017-04-12 14:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sisha20/206e7v8yph1g/wish/166085799 sisha20 https://padlet.com/sisha20/206e7v8yph1g/wish/166086342 The cover that was a Voice battle]]> 2017-04-12 14:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sisha20/206e7v8yph1g/wish/166086342 sisha20 https://padlet.com/sisha20/206e7v8yph1g/wish/166086593 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 
 
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style 
And so I came to see him, to listen for a while 
And there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes .....

And what’s more the feelings described in it were Lori’s true feelings; the story is hers and the mood and thoughts were hers too. Even the first recording of the song was hers, though it was not until Roberta Flack cut her version that it became and international hit.]]> 2017-04-12 14:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sisha20/206e7v8yph1g/wish/166087692
