Tunes & Tales: Pentatonix

Thanks to Macky, I have developed a healthy appreciation for the band Pentatonix. I'm obsessed with what brilliant vocalists they are, and it's seriously still amazing to me to know that they're solely an a capella group. How freaking cool is that? Anyway, I've fallen head over heels in love with many of the covers that they've released over the years. But they released an album full of all original tunes late last year, and I seriously loved it too! I decided it was high time for me to talk about them today.

VIBE: clever melodies, solid vocals, catchy tunes

WHY: Because it is the coolest thing to hear people make music using only their own voices!

TRY: Misbehavin' is my favorite, favorite, favorite song.

Na Na Na / What You Always Wanted

I know where the greener grass grows

You'll just have to follow

To the other side

Lets go tiptoe on a tight rope

Fallings only natural

Just spread your wings and fly

Can't Sleep Love / My Life Next Door

Somebody wake up my heart

Light me up

Set fire to my soul, yeah (Uh huh)

'Cause' I can't do it anymore (Yeah)

Gimme that can't sleep love

(Gimme that can't sleep)

I want that can't sleep love

(Gimme that can't sleep)

The kind I dream about all day

The kind that keeps me up all night

Gimme that can't sleep love

Sing / Jesse's Girl

Get up and dance, just feel that beat and sing it (whoa, sing)

I don't know what you've been told

But music make you lose control

Sing, sing, sing, sing

Sing it out as hard as you can

Make 'em hear from L.A. to japan

Don't let 'em bring you down

This is how we do it now

Misbehavin' / The Mistake

Oh, but I know that I

Can be wild sometimes

Oh, but I never lie

'Cause I'm yours, you're mine

But I ain't misbehaving, no

I ain't misbehaving tonight

Ref / Private Arrangements

Maybe I got just a little too much pride

To let you back into my life

You think I miss you, not yet, not yet

Baby, you thought about what you put me through

A sorry is long overdue

You want it again, I bet, I, I, I bet

First Things First / Crash Into You

Hold up, slow down, take a breath

Running and you don't know why

Once you learn how to build your own track

It'll take you to the finish line

Fame, money and the VIP

That don't mean nothing to me

Not saying you should work for free

Just don't forget how to love

Rose Gold / Under the Lights

Like a map, the story of our lives

Couldn't fit in only black and white

If it's true that legends never die

Me and you could stand the test of time

We could be timeless, we could be classic

We could be stars, we could be rose gold, rose gold

If I Ever Fall in Love / Dirty Deeds

If I say that I can be your one and only

Promise that you'll never leave me lonely

I just wanna be the one you need

I just wanna be the one who serves you

Sometime I feel as if I don't deserve you

I cherish every moment that we share

Cracked / After I Do

Your halo's gone and all I see is horns

And a heart that's still intact

But mine's cracked (oh, oh, oh)

Water / Nash

Timid heart, hide my scars

Make me stronger

I can't take this any longer

I need, I need you like water

Take Me Home / Brown-Eyed Girl 

You, you light up in the dark

You're the glowing and priceless work of art

I see, I see your shining star

You're the light through my window from afar

New Year's Day / Proof of Forever

We could be kings of the world

On top of the nation

It's a celebration of the moments to come

The city's on fire

We're holding up lighters

Raising them higher and we've only begun

Take me all the way (oh)

Hear me when I say (yeah)

Let's kiss the past away

Like New Year's Day

Light in the Hallway / A Little Princess

Close your eyes, lay your head down

Now it's time to sleep

May you find great adventure

As you lie and dream

If you're scared of the darkness

I will calm your fear

There's a light in the hallway

So you know I'm here

So count your blessings every day

It makes the monsters go away

And everything will be okay

You are not alone

You are right at home

Goodnight, goodnight
