DRAMATIC SONG - Toby Turner

Snapchat! Chatbuscus

Thanks to Terabrite for mixing the audio and color correction, Patrick Mazzalo for After Effects, Olga Kay for filming, and myself for singing and playing piano

LYRICS:

This song sounds dramatic
but I'm bad at writing words.
If you don't speak English,
this probably sounds pretty good.

You'd probably think I'm singing
bout some pretty serious stuff.
But in reality, I'm singing 'bout
the lack of stuff i'm singing 'bout.

This part's intense.
And emotional.
As long as you don't understand it.

Your foreign grandma
would love this song.

Please send it to her,
and she'll probably tell her
foreign friends about the song her
grandson or daughter sent her today.

This song might hit the charts in her country
if parts sounded like Coldplay.

If the chorus sounds like Coldplay.

Then I put some 'La-La-La's in there.
La la la la la,
la la la la la la la (Coldplay)

Hopefully your foreign grandma
listens to this song everyday.
And if she asks you to
translate the lyrics, here's what you say:

"A perfect translation does not exist.
Well, at least, not in your language.
But if you must know, well, picture this:
Fifty billion rainbows,
and the sun is setting,
and the moon is setting, also,
and you're there in a gazebo.
And then God descends from heaven
and He gives you a million dollars.
Take that feeling,
and put it into a song.
I could translate word by word,
but that'd take too long.
And I've got stuff to do grandma.
I don't have time for this.
You've gotta trust me grandma,
this freakin' song is brilliant."

The year was 2012, I didn't speak english back then because I live in Brazil
A friend of mine that spoke english sent me this song and said it was sad, emotional and epic

Now I speak english and still haven't forgiven him

On a binge of classic Toby…anyone else? Knowing every song word for word after not listening for years just shows the impact this man had on us. I’m 23 now. This shit hits hard ngl.
