Here is the second installment in my interpretation of the songs from The Office. This probably isn’t as popular as the Freelove one, but the scene in which he plays this song is possibly my favorite in the whole series. David meets with Dawn in his office and starts to talk about how he wouldn’t be the boss "or the man" that he is if he didn’t try to console her in her times of need (she had a fight with her boyfriend). As he is talking, the camera pans to Dawn. When it pans back he is holding his guitar and he breaks into this song. It ends up being about the car accident that killed Princess Diana. The look he has when he goes into the “rushing through the Paris night” part is classic. Gareth in the background is perfect. If you still haven’t seen it, you are missing out.
Performance Disclaimer:
Any music you might find here is solely for the entertainment of me and my friends. I don’t pretend to be a musician and obviously don't have a voice made for singing. I have a much more polished version of this song with drums locked in the belly of ProTools but the program is completely worthless and has corrupted something in the file so it won’t let me format it to WAV or MP3. So this is just me and the acoustic.
Princess Diana (550KB MP3)
Nicely done. The Taylor is sounding great. You sing better then you think BK. I enjoyed it.

Bryan, July 21, 2005 06:42 PM:Yeah, I took my laptop and guitar out into the forest to find inspiration and play amongst the birds. That's a lie. I'm not exactly sitting in a studio or anything though. I guess I didn't even close the windows that day.
