That is absolutely terrifying.
First of all, I want to apologize for frightening and even terrifying @PointyFox so.
This evening I was checking out Haley Reinhart, who I had never really listened to before—I don’t watch the voice or stuff like that. And this was not because she is very, very, very, very, very easy on the, I mean really, just extremely easy, it would be hard to understate, let’s just say it, she’s easy on the eyes, yes, she’s kind of pretty. It was because I was checking out new releases and young people music.
But quite honestly (no, really) I was looking for artistic development over the years and was a little disappointed. Obviously she has astonishing command of her voice and is very intuitive and serious with music and punched a bouncer in the face once. I was looking for original performances or songwriting or goose bump emotions, I mean she seems capable of all that. And she looks good,
So here is a song she wrote in part—and I think the lyrics are clever—she wants to start over again not like it never ended, but like it never ends—the huge difference in the emotion that conveys, an inevitable disappointment but let’s go for it in this very upbeat way. And she channels the 60s feel but with original material. And I like the line about just don’t forget to breathe, like wow are you in for it now. That I can get into. Much of the album is covers but I wanted to see her stretch out a little. So presumably this song is a little more her than some of the other stuff, since she helped write it. She’s not showing off her incredible voice to the max but instead she’s really putting the song across.
The video is super cool too.
