Written a few months ago, but recorded (and courage mustered to share it) a few days ago.

Felt pretty elite walking up to the desk and saying “Can you let me into the ballroom? I’m on the list.”

Except, no ball and most assuredly no fantastical princess gowns.

Just an empty room and a lovely instrument.

I explained the mashups list to James. I’ll listen to a song and, often inexplicably, a new song enters into my head at just the right time, wedding with the one playing aloud. Like dream journaling, unless I write down the pair immediately after this moment, I’ll lose it.

I’d like to make each mix that’s on the list (my brother and a certain burger-loving cousin of mine even introduced me to an app that serves such a purpose. But, one thing at a time; I’ve barely had time to work through my Photoshop tutorials). Until then, James and I will have to stick to our spontaneous jam sessions.

I had never heard the song in full but somehow had it on mental replay. This is my favorite part. And is me in my kitchen.

Then a day later I sat down at the piano and decided these chords made sense.

This is what’s in my head whenever I hear this song.

I can’t get this song out of my head.

And it’s secretly because it reminds me of this.

(Pardon the mistakes… I was just playin’ around)

We stayed up super late making the cover I’d dreamed of ever since at French’s cottage I’d discovered that Kiss the Girl works perfectly with the Cups song rhythm. Our plan is to make covers of Disney songs with new ‘band’ names each time. Keep a look out for the others.
