Get Good

[SilverIchor]

Mockingjay was released August 24, 2010. Wasn't she pretty much already done with the record by then?  I'm a fan of the books as well so that find intrigued me a bit, but it's most likely a coincidence.

[Arwen]

WOW. Arwen, nice catch. I guess it happens when you're reading something like that and the song is in your head...

But the dandelion bit in the books is kinda specific... But then again she said "GOOD AGAIN". They should use the song as a part of the soundtrack.

It's kinda funny to imagine her quoting THG or Suzanne Collins while introducing the song. I dunno... THG is getting kinda popular and already touted as the NEXT Twilight makes it kinda Kitsch.

Not judging. They are actually very good books.

I know! I hate that they are becoming the next Twilight because they are so much better(no offense to any Twilight lovers, it's kinda my guilty pleasure). I'm kinda depressed I'm done reading THG. 
 
But yeah, when I read that part in the book I just immediately thought of Get Good. That would be awesome if they used a V song in the soundtrack!

Silver: Yeah, you're probably right that she had already written the song by then. It just makes me love Get Good even more though!

Haha... That latest tweet from her was like she was checking out this thread and was like Hunger What? I need to clear this up.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing when I saw her tweet the poem.

[sarab]

LOL, that didn't even occur to me.  (about her tweeting that)
I haven't read those books, I hadn't heard of them until recently when I was bored at work and doing some internet surfing.  They look like something I'd like. But I'm going to read the VC inspired books first!

LOL! I thought that too.

And Sara, you should definitely check them out when you get a chance! They're really good.

Not sure if anyone has tweaked the lyrics more, but I think she's singing:

"Are the echoes coming back to you?
Is wisdom seeing patterns on a loom,
like a blanket around you?
And you were weaving colors
when i saw you.

But you're velvet on the moonlight,
or have you lost your constellation eyes?
Well, you could give it time.
I wish I could be there,
wish I could make it right.

And don't you worry, you'll soon be on the mend,
and that's no trick, that flicker of radiance.
And you'll feel lucky, darling, i'm sure of it.
You'll figure it out and get good again.
(Nah, nah, nah)

A Stonewall run, hills of green,
golden dust and dandelion seed, a bout of sorcery (not sure)
oh, it's been so long, this bout of sorcery, (don't think this is right, it might be a different language even)
oh it's been so long."

[Weisz]

We have the booklets now. Somebody should post the correct lyrics. PLEASEEE

[NESSAussie]

Lyrics copied from the ROTR digital booklet...

are the echoes coming back to you?
is wisdom seeing patterns on a loom?
like a blanket around you
you were weaving colors when i saw you

put your velvet on the moonlight
or have you lost your constellation eyes?
well you could give it time
i wish i could be there
i wish i could make it right

don’t you worry, you’ll soon be on the mend
that’s no trick, that flicker of radiance
you’ll feel lucky, darlin’, i’m sure of it
you’ll figure it out…and get good again

stone wall running hills of green
a golden, dusted dandelion scene
a powder soft serene
oh, it’s been so long since powder soft serene
yeah, it’s been so long

don’t you worry, you’ll soon be on the mend
that’s no trick, that flicker of radiance
you’ll feel lucky, darlin’, i promise you this
you’ll figure it out…and get good again

you said you don’t know why but you don’t feel free
you know it’s not true but i know what you mean
i want to thank you for being so good to me
i just wanted you to know

are the echoes coming back to you?
is wisdom seeing patterns on a loom?
like a blanket around you
we’ll look out for each other
i’ll look out for you
we’ll look out for each other

don’t you worry, you’ll soon be on the mend
that’s no trick, that flicker of radiance
you’ll feel lucky, darlin’, I'm sure of it
you’ll figure it out…yeah we'll get good again



Peace

Aaron

Am I the only one who thinks she sounds like Stevie Nicks when she sings the get good again part espically when she says good?   Or am I just crazy?  

[Martin.]

My second favourite song off the album. I love it.

[LauraH]

Is anyone working on piano sheets for this?

[[sobriquet]]

Not me. But to help you, here's the guitar chords I've transcribed for it.

Oh I found those earlier(: Thanks anyways though. I did make my own arrangement kinda. Haha. I also did a cover. I can try to record and upload it to mediafire if you want to hear it?(:

[AlexanderLaska]

here we go, lyrics, typed out by me.



Are the echoes coming back to you?
Is wisdom seeing patterns on the gloom?
That rope around you

And you will be the colors, when I saw you
Put your velvet on the moonlight
Or have you lost your constellation eyes?
You will get good in time

And I wish I could be there
Wish I could make it right

And don't you worry, you'll soon be off limits
And that's no trick, that flicker of radiance
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I'm sure of it
We'll figure it out and get good again
Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na

A slow-mo run and there's a breeze
A golden dust, a dandelion sea, a bout of sorcery
I know it's been so long, since fall is so serene
I know it's been so long

And don't you worry, you'll soon be off limits
And that's no trick, that flicker of radiance
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I promise you this
We'll figure it out and get good again
Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na

You said you don't know why you don't feel free
No, it's not true, but I know what you think
I want to thank you for being so good to me
I just wanted you to know

Are the echoes coming back to you?
Is wisdom seeing patterns on the gloom?
That rope around you
And we'll look out for each other and I'll look out for you
And we'll look out for each other

And don't you worry, you'll soon be off limits
And that's no trick, that flicker of radiance
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I'm sure of it
We'll figure it out, yeah, we'll get good again

Well I feel good, I will never get good again
Well I feel good, I'll -- get good again
Na na na na na, Na na na na na
In a dream, with dandelion fields
In a dream, with dandelion fields
In a dream

I know you wrote this a long time before the actual album came out, but reading this was just hilarious because it's SO not right.  "You'll soon be off-limits" XDDD
