Music Lesson
Cara's just going to sing through the song for us, going over some of the main points we've worked on.
Introduction
Now, interestingly, with this song, you actually get a whole verse as an intro, which is quite unusual.
Preparation
- Think about how you're going to approach that first note.
- Start preparing even before you start singing.
Lyrics to Focus on:
Make you feel my love.
1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Verse 1:
When the rain is blowing in your face
and the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
to make you feel my love.
Verse 2:
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
and there's no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love.
Verse 3:
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met
