It was a lonely night. My plan was to complete my case study. Being lonely, I decided to have Bruno Mar's voice to accompany me through the night. It was a nice listen. He is one very talented singer & songwriter.
After looping "Just the way you are" for a few times, the thought of listening to an acoustic cover of it came into my mind. And the best place to look for such thing is none other than Youtube.
Browsing through the search result, a familiar name appeared - Boyce Avenue. Haha, of course. They specialized in performing songs from different artists, injecting their own flavor and essence into the songs. Acoustic version for most of the cover. I got to know them months ago when I stumbled upon their cover of Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love.
Without hesitation, I clicked the link to listen to their cover. I had a strong feeling that this was gonna be good.
I was right. I was beyond right.
The cover was good. Really good. Really really good! I was totally blown away!
You know, my friend Caryn once said, if you never experienced goosebumps from a song, it means you don't love music enough. Well this was not the first time I experienced goosebumps. In fact, this time, I went beyond experiencing goosebumps. I was so excited that I couldn't contain my excitement by just sitting in front of the laptop, looping the song. I was so excited I was unable to continue working on my assignment. I was screaming inside my head. I frantically click here and there, opening windows and programs, looking for a way to download the video in high-def. For the first time, I was willing to go the extra mile to download a music video that I like, without compromising the quality and the voice. Mind you, it was 124MB for an unconverted HD video.
Perhaps I was too excited, and I operated my aging laptop too frantically, my laptop froze!! My aged laptop just couldn't keep up with my song-asm. I had to restart my laptop and went over all the hassle to download the HD video again. =.= Gosh that just prolonged the wait.
By the time I finished the last paragraph, my download had completed. Is it worth spending all night, searching, downloading one single nice song? Is it worth abandoning your assignment, finding a way to get the song you want? Is it worth the time expressing your excitement by blogging about it?
For all the above, I answered: Hell Yea!
