Random Fact

My name is Alexz, and I have a problem. I am unable to listen to most music without a. singing along and/or b. trying to find every possible harmony. I am honestly incapable of just listening to a song.



Of course it's not my fault. I have MANY people to blame for this problem. The biggest contributor would have to be my dad. I've never heard him sing melody on any song. From the time I was 3, he was pointing out the beauty of harmony in every song we jammed to. HAHA- Our dog's name is even Harmony.

I can also blame my friend, Brittany. I remember sitting by Brittany on the bus for a 3rd grade field trip. While all of the other 3rd graders were jamming to ridiculous 90's boy bands and such, Brittany was sharing her walkman headphones so I could hear Bon Jovi. Can anyone hear "Livin' on a Prayer" and NOT sing the harmony? ...Fast forward 6 or 7 years. I was singing in a group with 2 other girls (Brit being one of them). She made me sing the upper harmony to every single song we performed. Now I can't stop! Thanks Brit. :)

Then there are always a few bands we can blame it on. Bon Jovi, Queen, Mumford and Sons, Guns N Roses, Boys II Men (don't hate!), Simon and Garfunkel, The Eagles, Blessed Union of Souls, I could go on forever!


I know this is random. Does anyone else have this problem?


this is how it always is at our house.

    Me! Me!

    I've found out that I don't know the melody at all on most of the songs we sing at church. And I'm constantly going off on harmony with my music in the car. Even when it's in my range, still love those harmonies.
