Song : Hilary (The Lost Version)
Hilary (The Lost Version) – Trent Johnson
Details
This is one of my first attempts to recording something digitally using a computer. I believe the software was Software Audio Workshop (SAW) and it's called lost because I remembered recording it but couldn't find the source files. Eventually the WAV files resurfaced and put them back together. It's pretty simple with only a single vocal verse.
Originally conceived as a young man making a phone call to Hilary and while the phone rings he thinks of all the things he wants to say to her, but the phone just keeps ringing and she never picks up.
In the final version of the song he gets slowly more agitated and you learn that he's basically been stalking her. No wonder she won't pick up the phone.
Lyrics
Hilary I just called to see If you still want me for your own
Hilary Will you answer me Will you tell me how to get you all alone
Hilary you were always the best in the world you're not like the rest of the girls Will you take me as I am? I'm trying as hard as I can
Hilary Will you talk to me? Are you happy or are you all alone like me?
Can't you see? Don't you want me? I'm so unhappy won't you please consider me
Hilary you were always the best in the world you're not like the rest of the girls will you take me as I am I'm trying as hard as I can
Hilary Please listen to me I'm going crazy wondering if you think of me
It's not fair I winder if you care Looking through your bedroom window I see you standing there
Hilary you were always the best in the world you're not like the rest of the girls will you take me as I am I'm trying as hard as I can
Hilary, I'm so lonely Won't you talk to me? Hilary Talk to me.
