Another Song Cover-'Shy That Way'

Ok this time I'm gonna say it clear. (Thank you my dear dear friends for pointing out my non-sense forward in the previous post. I admit it was almost impossible to understand! But the winner goes to Joanne Lee, congratulations to win the best interpretation of the Lucky Post!)

Anyway, Walter and I have been thinking about doing a cover for this song for a long time. Initially I was going to play guitar (just the chords) as well, so that he can play the guitar solo in the interlude. It would have sounded good, except for the fact that I really suck at guitar. In order to present the best, I decided I would just sing.

This one is the 6th take....Funny thing. I was really nervous, even the voice was shaking in the first couple of takes! I thought it was because we haven't been recording songs for a long long while and then I was sort of becoming cameraphobia....never so nature to have something there. I never mind people watching us performing, but a camera is beyond the stare of eyes. Maybe it was just my imagination, but I feel being watched in a strange way in front of the videocam.

But it wasn't too bad hey. 6 takes. We've done like 15 takes before yeh Walter? kkk.

Lyrics
'Shy That Way' by Jason Mraz and Tristan Prettyman
You know you’re stunning
You’re absolutely stunning
And I’m running always running
And now I’m crying
It’s only cause I’m caring
And if you were more daring
Maybe you’d stop staring
And come over and talk to me
Tell me bout how you’ve been waiting so patiently
And how you tried but I just turned away
And I’ll say yeah well you know,
I’m shy that way

Shy that way
Maybe I’m shy that way

Ohh you know you’re stunning
You’re absolutely stunning
But you’re always runnin
But I’ll catch up to you
The way you keep your distance is
Keeping my interest
So I’ll keep it persistent
Ohh maybe someday
Someway, somehow in some town
We’ll get together and
We’ll break it down
And I’ll ask why you’ve been
so shy, gotta be that way
Maybe baby, oh love, I like it that way

Shy that way
You know I love you so shy,
Shy that way

So keep it comin comin comin comin
Shy that way

There’s always too much talking
And I wanna just keep walking
But I keep staring baby
Keep staring
Though I may not know the right things to say
I’ll get it out to you one day

I’m shy that way
You’re shy that way
Do you like it
Do you like it?
When I’m shy this way?
Yes I like it
Yes I like it
When you’re shy

Shy that way

I like it
I like it shy
You know it’s alright, it’s ok
Cause we’re
Shy that way…
