Sweet Catastrophe

We spent a solid few hours last week looking through music to find something ideal for each section of the wedding. I never even thought to search for instrumental and/or karaoke versions of some of my favorites. Along the way, we found The String Quartet/Vitamin String Quartet and holy cow, I’m in love. My favorite songs from popular music done by a string quartet?? Are you freaking kidding me??

I always want to have music playing in the background, but I cannot keep from singing along. Problem solved!! Unfortunately, instrumental versions do tend to just make me want to listen to the original, but that’s okay, too.

I’m far more excited than I should be, but that seems to be the norm for me.

I downloaded a bunch of random stuff just to check it all out and make sure the few I heard weren’t just the best examples, and really they’re fantastic! You’d be amazed how well some songs sound in strings. It’s a little crazy.

So far my favorite of what I’ve listened to has been their version of Incubus’s Pardon Me. But I can’t deny that their renditions of my Weezer favorites are just straight up epic, in my opinion.

I don’t know how I’ve gone this long without stumbling across them. Lucky for me, though, since they’ve been out for so long I don’t even have to look for them to be on sale, they’re already cheap now!

I’m absolutely getting their Tribute to Matchbox Twenty when I get back from Augusta.
