She doesn't play in those spots because she doesn't know what to do with notes that low or that high. She might think about what it would be like to play, what the keys would feel like under her fingers, how the F below middle C is chipped, how she can feel the dust gathering on the keys three octaves down, where she never plays, or three octaves up, where she also never plays. It's like she's waiting, but she's not even doing that.

When people ask me, "who are your favorite singers these days?," the first name that pops out of my mouth is the Irish artist Camille O’Sullivan. (which wins an award in the category called "Song Title I Wish I'd Thought Of.") #2 See if you become as obsessed with these two songs as I've become: Results come out on / around December 6th.įingers and toes and other appendages crossed! Many of you have asked: What happens next? "Congratulations! Everyone who has lost a loved one, been a caretaker, been sick, or even survived cancer can identify with your music, it's a healing tool."
"What an amazing accomplishment!! Will be streaming on every ride to soccer practice with my girls. "Kate, you've got to know your parents are looking down on you and smiling!" Here are a few choice snippets of responses from YOU: I wanted to highlight a few comments just so you ALL can see how amazing this community is.
