It is said that thos song was written as a tribute to Don McLean and his poetic, storytelling lyrics and beautiful guitar playing. Roberta Flack did a masterful job of this song.
I hope you are aware of the fact that these words that mean so much to you are not Roberta's. She is just one of the many artists who did a cover of Killing Me Softly With His Song.
@@kingofdubb2133 Lori Lieberman did the original version, one year before Roberta Flack's cover. The lyrics were based on a poem that was written by Lori.
I RECENTLY stumbled across a Korean Indie Rock band (The Rose) &heard their lead singer (WooSung, *BTW.. he is American/Korean0 ,singing sings they wrote themselves and THIS song immediately came to mind.....😥 Strumming my pain with his fingers. Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him To listen for a while And there he was this young boy A stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his songSinging my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words 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 And he just kept on singing Singing clear and strong Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song................ 😥

LYRICS / TESTO: Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him to listen for a while And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song I felt all flushed with fever Embarrassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters And read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words 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 And he just kept on singing, singing clear and strong Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song Woho, la la la la la la, woho, laha, la Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me (softly) He was strumming my pain Yeah, he was singing my life Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song

The guy was Don McLean. His song was Empty Chairs. The woman who saw Don perform his song was Lori Lieberman. She did the original version of Killing Me Softly With His Song in 1972, one year before Roberta Flack's cover.
@@RobertLee25 Yes, cover. I know that most people think that Roberta Flack's version is the original, but it isn't. She heard the original - the true version - by Lori Lieberman, she liked the song and covered it.
