Description
First Burn (Hamilton) 【covered by Anna】 The first time I heard First Burn I immediately jived with it. I’m sure we all know I’m a fan of Hamilton (and a lot of you lovely folks are too!) and I knew I had to cover it asap!

From a personal perspective, I really loved the way this version captured Eliza’s character. Although the album version of Burn better suits the story (in my opinion), I absolutely LOVED the aggressiveness and anger that came with this. It provided a different side of Eliza and I have no complaints about it!

One thing that was a bit weird though was recording harmonies to a solo broadway song. It threw me for a bit of a loop. I tried to keep them to a minimum because sounded so out of place to me. This song is very pop-y, but the arrangement I used reminded me of broadway so I feel this weird disconnect between my cover and the actual release. Because of that, I sang it more from a place of broadway, rather than a pop single. If there is a full orchestrated instrumental of First Burn out in the next little while, I will 100% preform and re-record it accurately to the release! Either way, please let me know how you felt!

Hope you all have a great weekend and I’ll see you Saturday!

________ lyrics:

I saved every letter you wrote me From the moment I saw you I knew you were mine You said you were mine I thought you were mine

Do you know what Angelica said When I told her what you'd done? She said "You have married an Icarus He has flown too close to the sun"

Don't take another step in my direction I can't be trusted around you Don't think you can talk your way Into my arms, into my arms

I'm burning the letters you wrote me You can stand over there if you want I don't know who you are I have so much to learn I'm re-reading your letters And watching them burn (burn)

I'm watching them burn (burn)

You published the letters she wrote to you You told the whole world How you brought this girl into our bed In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives

Heaven forbid someone whisper "He's part of some scheme"

Your enemy whispers So you have to scream

I know about whispers I see how you look at my sister

Don't I'm not naive I have seen women around you Don't Think I don't see How they fall for your charms All your charms

I'm erasing myself from the narrative Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted When you broke her heart You have thrown it all away Stand back, watch it burn Just watch it all burn

And when the time comes Explain to the children The pain and embarrassment You put their mother through When will you learn

That they are your legacy? We are your legacy

If you thought you were mine (mine, mine) Don't
