Alex Goot + Day 16

"Without music, life would be a mistake." -Friedrich Nietzsche

Alright. So. I've been having this huge music bomb go off in my head lately, where I just want to listen to music all the time, especially N Sync or One Direction or some other pop-y music.

The other day, I got the song "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen stuck in my head. I go onto YouTube to look for their video, but for some reason on my phone, it doesn't like loading "official" videos. I picked a video that I thought might've been the right one, but it was a cover of the original. Um, guys, this cover ROCKED my socks off. I just HAD to share it with you!

Oh, so good! It's by this guy named Alex Goot and a group called Against the Current. Alex Goot has a bunch of videos on YouTube, most of them a-MAY-zing covers of other songs. I haven't checked out Against the Current a whole lot, but they seem pretty talented as well.

Random tidbit: I made a channel on Pandora just for N Sync, and the song "Come On Over" by Christina Aguilera came on. Who remembers that song? Holy smokes. I totally forgot about it, but I like it a lot!

Here's another random video for you. I'm pretty sure you've never heard the song (except you, Susette!), so you've definitely NEVER seen the video, but it's hysterical. I nearly peed my pants. Seriously.

Hi-LAR-ious.

Ok, on to other things.

Day 16 - If the world were to end tomorrow, what would you do with your remaining time on earth?

Uh, wow. That's morbid. And really sad. Well, since it's 9pm and the boys are asleep, I'd get David out of his crib and Andrew out of his bed and lay down with them in my bed and just smother them with kisses while they slept. I'd call my family members to say goodbye. I'd sit down with Jason and look at old pictures. I'd pray and read scriptures.

Wow. Writing the part about the boys nearly made me tear up. Phew!

Secret: Sometimes I still wish I was brave enough to be a singer. When I was younger, I had this dream that one day I would hit the stage with my own songs, and people would love me. Part of the longing came from my love of singing. The other part was my wish to be accepted for who I was. I think I want it now for the same reasons, but you'd never hear me say that out loud.
