#piano #waltz #sad

Lyrics

everyone at the club
was getting so turnt
so turnt
everyone hit the quan
and did other trendy
dance moves

i didn't get to go
i had homework
homework
i didn't do it before
it took me all night
i cried

everyone at the club
was taking selfies
and stuff
everyone did the nae-nae
the dab and the whip
what fun

i didn't get to go
i had homework
homework
i didn't do it before
and it took me all night
i cried

Brilliant bit of theatre, this, well worth the effort, and the use of varied time and emotion in the presentation absolutely makes it!

The FOMO hits strong. I can relate to the narrator. Not sure how, just I can empathise in a way.

Like a mix of Rufus Wainwright and Bare Naked Ladies... Solid song!

You didn't even get to do The Whip.
How sad is this??
You know, I used to be a teacher.
Now I regret ever giving homework.

I like the simple trudging piano as a backing for your very emotional vocal delivery, slowing down towards the end of the line to give the vocal performance a feeling of hesitancy. Feels like something to listen to on a rainy day after getting splashed by a nearby car. Great work!
