Killing Me Softly…

FASHION: 

I’ve been wanting to do a fashion blog on this song by Roberta Flack “Killing Me Softly”. It is one of my favorite songs because it is tender and relatable. Have you ever heard a song that just speaks to you? Some songs are like that just like fashion. I wanted to create a look that is casual but chic and stylish….something a modern musician would wear. This COCO black leather jacket with the gold trim collar is perfect. It is simple with its clean lines yet elegant. I really love the Gold trim on the collar; other colors are also available like black or silver. The super sexy Tableau Vivant see-through shirt is a nice contrast to the clean lines of the jacket. I really love mixing and matching contrasting textures..makes it interesting. The stylish SWAT pants is also from Tableau Vivant. Check out the realistic folds along the length of the pant legs. Necklace is from one of my favorite jewelry store in SL: Rozoregalia. I might not be able to kill you softly with a song, but I hope I killed it in style. 🙂

MUSIC: Killing Me Softly With His Song

LYRICS:

Chorus:

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

[Chorus]

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

[Chorus]

He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn’t there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

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.
