The Meaning Of Killing Me Softly. Many people mistake the lyrics to this song to be a metaphor for a guy who is playing with a girl's emotions in a relationship. But the words of the song literally tell the story of how Lori felt when Don McLean was performing his song "Empty Chairs". The song by Don is actually inspired by the famous Van Gogh
Chords: INTRO Em Am D G Em A D C G C F E VERSE1 Am D I heard he sang a good song G C I heard he had a smile Am D And so I came to see him E To listen for a while Am D And there he was this young boy G B7 A stranger to my eyes CHORUS Em Am Strumming my pain with his fingers D G Singing my life with his words Em A Killing me softly with his song
I heard she sang a good song,I heard she had a style.And so I came to see herAnd listen for a while.And there she was this young girl,A stranger to my eyes.S
[Pre-Chorus] This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm lying I just don't want you to worry This is the part where I take all my feelings and hide 'em 'Cause I don't want nobody to hurt
Killing me softly with his song. 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. But he was there with a stranger. Singing clear and strong. Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words.
I think that the title 'Killing Me Softly' came form the movie called 'Godfather' in 1972. It was a movie about an crime family and became a big hit in the world. That means the songwriter of the writing lyrics of the song must had watched that movie and very moved, too! So he thought and wrote the title and lyrics of the 'Killing Me Softly'.
