Some people say I look just like my dad [Verse 1] I say, hey boy, sittin' in your tree Mother always wants you to come for me Don't be shy, straighten up your tie Get down from your treehouse sittin' in the sky I wanna know just what to do Is it very big? Is there room for two? I got a house with windows and doors I'll show you mine if you show me yours [Pre-Chorus] Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey Let the fun begin, hey I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey I'll huff, I'll puff I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away [Chorus] Say you will, say you won't Say you'll do what I don't Say you're true, say to me C'est la vie Say you will, say you won't Say you'll do what I don't Say you're true, say to me C'est la vie [Verse 2] Do you play with the girls, play with the boys? Do you ever get lonely playing with your toys? We can talk, we can sing I'll be the king and you'll be the queen Hey boy, in your tree Thrown down your ladder, make a room for me I got a house with windows and doors I'll show you mine if you show me yours [Pre-Chorus] Gotta let me in, hey, hey, hey Let the fun begin I'm the wolf today, hey, hey, hey I'll huff, I'll puff I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you away [Chorus] Say you will, say you won't Say you'll do what I don't Say you're true, say to me C'est la vie Say you will, say you won't Say you'll do what I don't Say you're true, say to me C'est la vie

about

Confyde is here to ruin your childhood with this gothic metal re-interpretation of the 90s happy-go-lucky pop hit "C'est La Vie" by B*witched. Both my main occupations as a wedding singer and heavy metal frontman come crashing together in this brooding, unapologetic dirge of sludgy guitar riffs, sinister vocals and discordant atmospheres that put the original's light-hearted lyrics into a whole new harrowing context...

This Bandcamp version also comes with an "unchained" electrocacoustic version of the main song. I was keen to strip my re-arrangement of this track down to its bare essential elements of just voice and guitar, to really showcase the re-harmonisation that makes it so unnerving and creepy. It's also in a different key so it sits in a different place in my voice, which allowed me to sing it with more subtlety, as well as without needing to cut through walls of heavy guitars and drums!
