Picture on the Wall - (Dino Romanelli cover) - A breakup song.

in music •  5 years ago 

Once upon a time I covered this beautifully sad breakup song by one of my sweetest friends, @dinoromanelli. Dino has been a bit MIA lately, but maybe he'll still come and visit again sometime.

Miss ya, Dino.
( do please come back )

This was my participation in @pechichemena's #coverasteemian initiative. That should be a thing that still happens. Everything keeps fading away. Why is that?

This song kind of asks the same questions.

PICTURE ON THE WALL

(@DinoRomanelli)

Turn about is fair play
But did you have to turn about and run away
Nothing more that I could say
'Cept couldn't you have waited just another day

I keep hearing footsteps in the hall
And I keep waiting patiently for you to call
I wasn't very well prepared for this to fall
And I still keep your picture up on the wall

Throw my hands up in the air
Try to figure out a way that all of this is fair
Had it figured we were quite a pair
But who am I to say
And, dammit, did you ever really care

I keep hearing footsteps in the hall
And I keep waiting patiently for you to call
I wasn't very well prepared for this to fall
And I still keep your picture up on the wall

So confused, oh what to do
Should I fight it out
Or take it that it's really through
Ain't no sense in any feeling blue
In fact, I very rarely ever think about you

I keep hearing footsteps in the hall
And I keep waiting patiently for you to call
I wasn't very well prepared for this to fall
And I still keep your picture up on the wall

And here is the incredible original by Dino, himself.

And that's the single greatest way to end this post.

Wow that was just sublime on every level lovely, I don't know how but I think I missed this song O_O that was one amazing composition and lyrical structures, with such an emotive punch - startlingly beautiful I just loved that performance and song <3
