sad + sad = so sad

You said it, Youtube Commenter.

And yes, possibly sad but very true, I have a thing for some J-pop, K-pop, and other asianly-created things.

This totally awesome dude mashed up two gloriously beautiful and heartbreaking songs. My feelings of wonder and delight when I discovered his video will not soon be forgotten.

Song of the Caged Bird

Honestly, I'm no avid fan of Lindsey Stirling. Her covers are great, but they tend to bore me.

However, give me an original song and I'll give that way more respect, because it's a little window into the musician's own heart, and I love that.

straight up violin madness

Before I saw this video, I would have told you that I play the violin when I'm thinking  and that I play it fairly well.

After watching this.

Well.

Nope.

And until I CAN play this, I will consider myself unworthy of my instrument.

Don't forget to pick your jaw up off the floor.
