This is another pleasant Youtube find. This time the video is young Amy Leerae from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Leerae wrote a song based off the works of British author Richard Adams. Although the song Watership Down was originally written in 2012, Leerae has since changed the lyrics.
This writer is hoping that Leerae will one day record this song. I agree with Youtube user Scott Welch, that a cello and violin as backing instruments could only enhance this song. To some this may be a song about finding the one you love but I find it is a message to find a place where you could be happy either physically or spiritually.
I’ve listened to Leerae’s other works and I believe she has a promising career ahead of her if theatre doesn’t work out. She could become a muse by inspiring others to find their Watership Down.
I’m really flattered in finding this! And I appreciate that you took time to write about it. I’m…really not sure what else to say except thank you! :)
Hey, this is Amy. I recently took my channel down, but if you want to follow my facebook page, I post SO many lyrics there, and hope to record an EP or album by the end of 2017. http://www.facebook.com/AmyLeeraeMusic
Plus, Watership down is going to be on the album. ^_^ Hope you’ll keep up with me!
“I hope one day, you’ll find Watership Down.”
