As is the case with millions of other people with way too much free time on their hands, I love YouTube. Lately there are two specific videos I’ve discovered that I can’t stop watching.
I thought I would share them. Since I apparently have nothing of substance to say lately.
What: “Love Story” meets “Viva La Vida”
Why I love it: First of all, it involves two of my favorite songs — Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” and Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” Secondly, it involves two of my favorite instruments — the piano and the cello. This arrangement is genius; the musicians are excellent and also endearing; I loved that he talks at the end about his motivation for coming up with this mash-up.
What: Michael Jackson tribute medley
Why I love it: I don’t even remember how I discovered Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider, but I’m so glad I did. They are so insanely talented, and this arrangement of some of Michael Jackson’s best-known songs is sheer perfection.
