Year 5, Day 275

Hey. Today I give you Found Tonight by Ben Platt and Lin Manuel Miranda.


So this is a mashup of two Broadway songs from different musicals. First Ben with You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen which he stars in and then Lin with The Story Of Tonight from Hamilton which he wrote and starred in. It was created and released because of the march against gun violence from the shooting where the kids all took a political stand saying enough is enough, but I like this song without tacking on a specific event. The mashup speaks to me in a way the original songs never did. It's sad as hell, but also great and comes from two incredible shows. If you don't know about them you need to look it up.

This time we need a song we each think everybody should listen to. We’ve got some pretty well known artists here with my grandma going with Peace In The Valley by Johnny Cash, my mom choosing Goodbye Stranger by Supertramp, and Sammy picking Don’t Stop by S Club 7. Anna went for I'd Rather Go Blind by Etta James, and Will took a while, then settled on Do You Feel It by Chaos Chaos.

Peace.
