The Nightshift

Clearly, the boy isn’t a lyricist. But for something written while locked in a vocal booth, it’s… well, it could have been worse.

I thought it might be fun to hear what this silly thing might sound like so in addition to writing a full set of horribly cheesy lyrics, I also recorded the song using nothing but my voice.

Feel free to download and share with your friends. And here are the lyrics:

Tara, I’m terribly glad that I ran into you
After all these years that we have been apart
I don’t remember why we never worked it out
All this time you’ve been echoing in my heart

T is for the time forever we’ll be spending
A is for all of me that I will give
R is me ready for love never ending
A is for always and truly will I live

It’s the first ska song I’ve ever written and I hesitate to even call it that. But there you go. Now you can seduce all your friends named Tara with this lyrical wonderment.

Well done on the song.
Anna

That adorable little cheerful song just completely cheered me up. And my name’s not even Tara!
Vincent

I agree with Anna.
And i’m not even a girl! :p

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to record.

Awww! It might kinda work with Anna or any name that is two syllables and ends in an “a” except for the second verse.

I was all about Kane and Ally, even if I do have a thing for British Indians (like seriously, it gets me every time), but after listening to that song I am a convert.
Kyle Wright

Anna

Well, true! You should make an “Anna” version too! I’ll pay you in… in… in fan art!

Aww man. Now I’m going to break out in random peals of laughter all day,
but I won’t be able to explain to anybody as to why exactly that is. On
the one hand, I can’t tell if you were actually screeching “Tara,” or
flat out crowing. On the other hand, I don’t even care. The hilarity is
simply marvelous.

On an unrelated note: One must remember to never sip one’s tea whilst
reading this comic, else risk gigglesnorting said tea into the oblivion
that is the laptop keyboard. Thank you.

HAHAHA! Thanks! For the horn sounds, I was pretty much doing what I drew Kane doing, pursing my lips and making a noise.
moby

That was an awesome song. I loved it!
spesaudax

Hmm. I suppose that would do it, huh? Well, even if it ruined my tea, it made my day.
…And it looks like it might just make Kane’s night. Merr.
