Oh my god, such an amazing duet! I love it! While I was listenign to this, i couldn´t help but imagina Stolas singing the Paranoid Dj´s version of this song as if it were his past self, since it still refers to Blitz as a "Plaything", and Pinkham´s version would be the future Stolas, watching his old self suffering because of his complex feelings for Blitz, it all started as a trade and he ended up in love, and so, the future Stolas would regret ever calling Blitz a plaything or treat him as an inferior unconsiously, now making sense with the verse "I don´t care you´re lower station" instead of just being a hypocrite, senseless line. Same with the Octavia phrase, on Paranoid Dj´s version he mentions her, but she really has nothing to do with his own trouble with Blitz, and so, with the passing of time, he would realise the only ones who are guilty about all that happened were them: Stolas and Blitz. And imagining Past Stolas and Future Stolas doing a duet and even with different perspectives have one same purpose (Which is being loved by Blitz) it really makes my heart break a little, because it means the Stolas from the past didn´t acomplished his goal and leaded to a depressed future Stolas. Also it would make the character development better than just making Stolas fall in love in Blitz in a blink. Just a thought I had😅🤭😃👍
And also, I think the og song talked about stella, since it came out before the serie so no one knew what kind of person she was, they only knew he cheat on her
Hohooo so spooky! This is actually the first time I’ve heard this one. I know it’s a classic! So I’m glad to have finally listened. Good reading, I like the voice effects at the end especially
I just wanted to comment, in Vizzie's version, I was upset they didn't add the last two "look way way"s, so hearing it here made me satisfied and happy. You have a new follower and like from this video. :)
[Verse 1] _It is expected… An oath by blood to hold the tome_ _And the starlight passes overhead_ _Fuels all the skills I've honed_ *I am a guardian… A watcher of these ancient rites* *Yet I find myself drawn from that path* *On those dazzling moonlit nights* [Pre-Chorus 1] *Let me hold you, keep you close to me…* *I long to hear your voice* *But dearest… I know better now* *I must give you this choice* [Chorus 1] *I can give you everything you need* _I can give you everything you need_ *Or do you want to hear me plead?* _Or do you want to hear me plead?_ *Just look my way! Just look my way…* _Just look my way! Just look my way…_ *Is there something more that I don't know* _Is there something more that I don't know_ *That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?* _That you won't say 'til we've both grown cold?_ *Just say… "Please, stay, look my way!"* _Just say… "Please, stay, look my way!"_ [Verse 2] _This unspoken contract, a deed we forged for mutual gain_ _If that's all this was when you're not here…_ *What is this rooted pain?* *I don't care that you're of lower station!* *Or primed to sate my dark temptations…* *Why can't you understand? Let me explain!* [Pre-Chorus 2] *And I'm terrified! As I cry…* *To make these feelings true!* *What's left for me and my broken heart…* *If I cannot have you* [Bridge] _I'll give you everything you need_ _What more is there? What more to plead?_ _Just look my way, just look my way_ _What can there be that I don't know?_ _Will you ever tell, or be so bold?_ _Just say... Please, stay... Look my way_ _{Oh... just say it Blitzy! I deserve that at least don't I?}_ [Bridge] *Unless it's me…* *And no matter what in this world I could give* *It's not enough…* *To get through the walls you've conjured up to live?* *Is this what you feel?* *Scorned by a realm that cannot comprehend!* *What you are…* *So I'll grant you this mercy, this bind-On our souls needs to end* [Chorus 2] *I will try to make amends!* _I will try to make amends!_ *For making you means to an end!* _For making you means to an end!_ *So look my way! Please, look my way!* _So look my way! Please, look my way!_ *And if there's something more that I don't know?* _And if there's something more that I don't know?_ *I'll save us both before we grow cold!* _I'll save us both before we grow cold!_ *If you'll stay… And just say… "Look my way!”* _"Look my way!”_ _"Look my way!”_
I do too... I did try it at first to keep them together, but then I found the transition into the new lyrics a lil difficult to make smooth. I'm still learning, after all! So for the sake of making the music flow, I did cut it down to just Pinkham's lines at that part.
Wow, you are easily the best reader of the ones who have narrated this story - your inflections and punctuation and flow were all so smooth and avoided monotone :D I hope to see more readings from you!
