Well, okay, I had that as of August, but now I’ve got a calendar year.
- I’m supposed to be learning this song for voice lessons, but I keep singing one of the low harmonies instead of the melody. I can’t help it, they’re nice harmonies! hashtag-choir-kid-problems ↩
- Acoustic version. ↩
- Acoustic version. ↩
- It wouldn’t be Christmas without a bunch of acapella christmas music. ↩
- This song is a lot harder to sing than you’d think. ↩
- This one is… pretty much exactly as hard to sing as you’d think. I have a mental block against learning my part. ↩
- This song and the one before it are off the Spotify Sessions ↩
- This is the 4:11 version off the Friday Night Lights soundtrack. ↩
- I keep forgetting I’ve got both versions of this song – with strings and without – in this playlist, and I get confused whenever this version comes on because it’s got more sounds than what I’m expecting. ↩
-
Me, singing along: “I’m feeling drunk and high, so high, so high…”
My mom, sitting beside me in the car: “Nice song.” ↩ - I really feel like this is two different songs that just happen to share the same lyrics – the bridge in the middle should’ve been a track break. ↩
- The fact that ‘Helios’ is in the name keeps making me think of the album cover from the same-titled album by The Fray. ↩
