If you think for one second that this is Frank Sinatra you need to do some research. This is textbook Perry Como, good diction, slightly nasally, and no New York accent. Sounds nothing like Sinatra. Beautiful song at any rate.
I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her
To listen for a while
And there she was this young girl
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly, with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly, with her song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt she found my letters
And read each one aloud
I prayed that she would finish
But she just kept right on
Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly, with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly, with her song
She sang as if she knew me
In all my dark despair
And then she looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
But she was there, this stranger
Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly, with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly, with her song
Killing me softly, with her song.
How can people not tell the difference between Perry Como and Frank Sinatra? The are both crooners but within that genre they have distinct style differences. As a vocalist, it's as clear as day.
Perry Como: I finally finished singing this, now time to see what the people think-
Everyone: Omg, I can't believe Frank Sinatra sang this!!!
Perry Como:
Am I a joke to you?
