Week 33 of 52 Weeks - Where You Lead (Carole King with Louise Goffin, 1970 & 2002)

 

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!  This week, in honor of the revival of Gilmore Girls which happens to be one of Bekah’s favorite shows, we are covering this Carole King’s classic.  This song was originally on her iconic album Tapestry but when the producer of the show Gilmore Girls contacted her about using it as its theme song, she updated the lyrics to go with the mother and daughter theme of the show.  Then she re-recorded the song with her daughter Louis Goffin.  I also have a personal connection to this song - I got to work on the shoot with Carole King for the cover of her album Love Makes the World which the updated version was included.  I remember she was really laid back and easy to talk to.  

Hope you enjoy!  

 

This one goes out to Cody and Waylon :)

Week 13 of 52 Weeks - Dog Days Are Over (Florence and the Machine, 2009)

Week 13 - Florence The Machine, Dog Days Are Over, 2009

I remember my friend Ren in London telling me that I need to listen to Florence way back but unfortunately I was too busy listening to Johnny Mercer and Yves Montand at the moment and I never got around to.  To be honest, I’m still not that familiar with her work…but learning and performing this song was one of the most fun we had so far!  I hope you have fun watching as much as we had!

Week 9 of 52 Weeks - Rumor Has It (Adele, 2011)

Week 9 - Rumor Has it, Adele. 

I began this project hoping to broaden my musical horizon and challenge myself and so far I’ve been firmly stuck in my favorite musical era, the 60’s (haha).  With this song, I finally made it to 2010's!  Yay!  Although I respect Adele as a performer and a songwriter, her music isn’t something I can relate to easily, so it was a fun challenge.  I tried to make it mine as much as possible.  Hope you enjoy!
