This is my simple Christmas gift for those I count among my closest friends. I have only passable drawing skills, and model viewer gets really boring after a while (not to mention everyone has 82394071278410925 jobs now, so what outfit do I put you in ><) and is very unoriginal now, so pictures are out. I don't know what everyone needs and everyone seems richer than I am, so buying in-game items is also out.
I thought of doing this a long time ago, and it seemed the one thing I could give that is truly truly me. The unfortunate thing, as some of you know, is that I have been battling with some pretty horrible colds lately, so I fear it's not as good as it could be.
Also, my talent with mixing and stuff is not the greatest; so I got everything synched properly, but there are a few times there is some overload, and I apologize for it; but I just couldn't record anymore as singing the song through the several times I did tired my voice out quite a bit and nothing was really going to sound any better. I know there are a few sour notes too, but.. well, same. And I just couldn't stand to listen to myself anymore either. ><
But enough apologies, please know that this comes from my heart, and I love each and every one of you to whom I have given this link. <3
Now, the file isn't here cuz Tripod is dumb, but I wanted everyone to see what I had to say short of posting on KI, which we all know I do enough as is. ._.
So please follow this link for the mp3 (hosted by SaveFile; click the orange "Download" button in the gray bar a little way down the page). And please pay attention to the lyrics. :)
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better.
And because I knew you:
Because I knew you:
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.
