WARNING: Multiple fan girl moments ahead.
If someone were to ask me what my favorite band is, I would not hesitate in saying, "A Great Big World!" You might know them from their hit songs "Say Something" or "Hold Each Other", or maybe you have never heard of them. That is why I am here today. I am bound and determined to make this band known to the world.
I was fortunate enough to FINALLY see this duo this summer at the Minnesota State Fair. They were everything I had dreamed of and more. That was by far my favorite concert I have ever seen, and I have a feeling it will be hard to beat.
The duo, A Great Big World, includes Ian Axel and Chad King. The two met at New York University while both working towards a degree in music business.Their break-through moment was when one of their first songs, "This Is The New Year", was featured on Glee.
Since then, their songs have been featured on numerous shows, including one of my favorites, So You Think You Can Dance. The beautiful number, choreographed by Stacey Tookey, set to the song "Say Something", was what hooked me on this band.
To honor this band, their beautiful music, and the fact that not enough people know about them, I have put together a list of my favorite lyrics from their songs. I hope to get at least one person interested in this up and coming group.
