Setelah nonton film About a Boy, saya jadi terngiang-ngiang dengan lagu Killing Me Softly with His Song. Lagu ini cukup menarik didengar sehingga saya tergoda untuk tahu lebh dalam. Lagu ini ditulis oleh Norman Gimbel dan composernya Charles Fox. Pada tahun 1973 lagu ini menjadi number-one-hit oleh Roberta Flack. Lagu ini kemudian dibuat ulang oleh banyak seniman, terutama The Fugee.
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.
And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song
