Columbia SHARP Releases Music Video "Coffee x Pillowtalk"
Columbia SHARP

Columbia SHARP, a male a capella group on campus, just released their first professional music video last weekend. In the video, members of the club perform arrangement “Coffee x Pillowtalk”, a song that combines Coffee by Miguel and Pillowtalk by Zayn Malik. The video produced by Kevin Chiu (SEAS ‘17) features all 12 members looking sharp (pun intended) in suits as they sing in a variety of locations, including on campus on Columbia’s College Walk.

SEAS junior and SHARP member Jeremy Grill put together the arrangement, which he came up with when arranging Coffee over the summer and realized that the line “word play turns into gun play / gun play turns into pillow talk” worked well with the popular Zayn song. Jeremy believes “the dialogue between the two songs is really interesting, because the love described in Coffee is tender and young, especially compared to Pillowtalk–which describes a love that is more raw and more sexual”.

When asked how the final product turned out when thinking about his vision of the song, Jeremy also said “The final product has exceeded my expectations in so many ways. When I was writing this arrangement, I definitely had no idea that it was going to become such a large project. One of the most exciting parts of the whole process was seeing the song become SHARP's project rather than my personal project. The whole process became a team effort in a way that amazed everyone in the group: everyone had something to bring to the table. This was especially hard because there were so many moving pieces, especially with a group of twelve. Between a trip down to Brooklyn to record the audio with our good friend and recent SHARP alumnus Danny Murcia and spending a day together where to shoot the video, we definitely spent a lot of time together–and it was really great to see everyone putting this vision ahead of their many other commitments. The process was truly a team effort, musically, creatively, and administratively, and seeing SHARP come together in this way was very exciting for everyone.”

Clearly the group and everyone else involved in production worked very hard to create this very original and quality music video, which you can enjoy here. Additionally, if you want to see SHARP perform in person, their final concert of the semester is this Tuesday, December 13 in the John Jay Lounge at 8pm.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
