[[ NOTES: ]]
Happy late Thanksgiving, everyone! How was your week? I spent mine eating lots and reading through The Hunger Games and the two other novels that follow it... I'm absolutely obsessed. (Peeta Mellark, anyone?!)
"The Hanging Tree" appears in the final novel in the series, as a haunting song that Katniss sings for the mockingjays. I realize now there are already popular versions of this floating around, but when I first read these lyrics, I couldn't shake the melody that immediately popped into my head — I had to arrange and record it! I tried to give it as accurate of a mood as I could and play around with the mockingjay harmonies that Katniss mentions, so I hope you enjoy it. It was so much fun to work on! ♥ :)
This is a first for me — I usually add lyrics to existing melodies and not the other way around, so if this sounds kind of weird, I apologize haha! It's a fairly disturbing song (as is its context in the novel) but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. Thanks for listening! :)

[[ LYRICS: ]]
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three?
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee?
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free?
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me...
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it seem
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
