EmilyAnn Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I can't remember where but someone mentioned doing a Catholic parody version of "Call Me Maybe". I was bored so I decided to make a discernment version: In Adoration one day, In the silence I pray, I looked up at the altar, And I heard Him say. You see that Sister right there? In her habit and veil? She listened in prayer, And now I’m calling you. I want you as mine, True bread, and the true vine, For in my path you’ll shine, Will you come and be my Bride? Did I just hear that? No, this is crazy! Could it really be, He called me, maybe? It's hard to think straight, It’s all so hazy, Could it really be, He called me, maybe? Did I just hear that? No, this is crazy! Could it really be, He called me, maybe? Poverty and chastity, Obedience too, Could it really be, He called me, maybe? I will listen to your call, To you I will give my all, I will make myself small, Your light will shine in me. I ask you mother Mary Please help me, it’s scary I didn't know I would hear it, But He’s calling me. I am the true vine, I want you as mine, In my path you’ll shine, Will you come and be my Bride? Did I just hear that? No, this is crazy! Could it really be, He called me, maybe? It's hard to think straight, It’s all so hazy, Could it really be, He called me, maybe? Did I just hear that? No, this is crazy! Could it really be, He called me, maybe? Poverty and chastity, Obedience too, Could it really be, He called me, maybe? Before you came into my life I messed up so bad I messed up so bad I messed up so, so bad Before you came into my life I messed up so bad And you forgave all I messed up so, so bad It's hard to think straight, It’s all so hazy, Could it really be, He called me, maybe? Did I just hear that? No, this is crazy! Could it really be, He called me, maybe? Poverty and chastity, Obedience too, Could it really be, He called me, maybe? Before you came into my life I messed up so bad I messed up so bad I messed up so, so bad Before you came into my life I messed up so bad And you forgave all He called me, maybe? Yeah, I was really that bored. I listened to the song like a million times to try get it to flow properly (it doesn't in a few places). It's not great, but I thought y'all might get a giggle out of it.
FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 We need a video of you singing that. ROCK ON, GIRL.

Yeah I think we need to have some nuns do the music video!
PhuturePriest Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I've never heard the song before, but I'm a tenor one, so I may be able to pull it off. It may look weird since it is a guy singing it, though.

AnneLine Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Emily.... only thing is Benedictines take those different vows. May be hard (but could be interesting!) to work out the rhymes with 'Stability' and 'Conversion of Manners' -- want the rest of the verses! THEN we will find the community/communities to sing them!!!!!

Strictlyinkblot Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Great version, I think poverty, chastity and obedience fit better. I really want to hear you sing it EmilyAnn. You should show it to Mother Mistress when you go back
PhuturePriest Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I've never actually heard this song before. I should go look it up.
Catholicterp7 Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I love this As soon as I get a decent camera that actually has sound can I record it? JMJ+
PhuturePriest Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 This song is totally in my voice range. Sadly, I smell of elderberries at writing lyrics.

JMJ+ [/quote] Go for it! I tried recording it myself earlier, but some of the lyrics don't quite flow right. I need to work on it and figure out how to sound it right.
Lil'Monster Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I can write lyrics but I cannot sing them Like that amesome song that I wrote "Dominican Swag"
PhuturePriest Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I turned on the song and sang along with these lyrics. It makes the song a lot more fun, I think.
