Saturday - Aurora Rays feat. Jessica TM (acoustic version)

Story time In 2023 I released Saturday, my third single from my upcoming album "Nothing But Numbers". I was meant to surprise you with the alternative acoustic version of it but I changed my mind after listening my 18yo singing student Jessica singing it. I thought she could give to the song a better rendition so we recorded it. Actually I prefer her version than mine 🤣 She joined my course less than one year ago and as a teacher I must say that I’m very very very proud of her. Anyway..this is “Saturday” performed by Jessica and me. Audio and video by Iola Music. Audio and video by @iola_music . Saturday composed by Aurora Giavedoni Performed by @jessica.tm_ and me Video available on my YouTube channel. SATURDAY It’s Saturday and you forgot to text me You promised me so many things Yes, you did I know you’re busy but a call It’s not a waste of time I had a shitty day and you didn't even ask why why did you act so good? only you can tell what’s on your mind? feels like I’m in jail How can you pretend that everything’s okay? How can you kiss and then turn away? You were my sky and my family How could you lie and believe you’re right? Now It’s better if we love us apart You gave me some a flowers and a big blue ring The way you lie is so adorable I’ve been stuck in a moment for many years but you don't own me and I don't own u Let me live How can you pretend that everything’s okay? How can you still kiss and then turn away? You were my sky and my family How could you lie and believe you’re right? Maybe its better if we tear love apart Why did you act so good? Only you can tell What’s on your mind? Feels like I’m in jail solo piano How can you pretend that everything’s okay? How can you still kiss and then turn away? You were my sky and my family How could you lie and believe you’re right? Maybe its better if we tear love apart Why did you act so good? Only you can tell What’s on your mind? Feels like I’m in jail
