True. :lol:

It does! I love how tiny Kris is beside Ruben and Jordin. :lol:

It's cute :lol:

This seems appropriate since it is Sunday xD

And also love this. The part we did hear is great.

When I first started playing guitar and singing all I did was try to learn other people's songs. For some reason I haven't done that as much lately. The occasional cover for a show, yes. But not really just for the fun of it. Maybe it's because I'm always so focused on my own music and writing or maybe the vail has been lifted. Who knows why. But I heard this song by The Dirty Projectors a while ago and thought it was so beautiful. The vocal and horn parts at the beginning are so cool and the song tells such a beautifully tragic story. Love it. So I sat down today and tried to learn the horn parts on guitar a little. It took forever but I had such an awesome time this morning just learning other people's music. Maybe this will become a thing. #music #covers #guitar #guitarface #dirtyprojectors #upinhudson @dirtyprojectors

Aw, the video with the ukulele is so lovely and soothing. :sigh:

And I love what he said about learning other people's music. That little bit certainly sounded great and he always does an amazing job with cover songs!

It would be nice to have those kinds of Sundays at some point xD

He does, and it makes sense when he's caught up with working on his own music that he doesn't get a chance to focus much on others, but nice that he'll try to change that.

Aw, I hope you get to have one soon. :lol: :hug:

Yeah it's definitely understandable but it's nice he's found time for it because I'd imagine it will help with his own music too. :nod:

Thanks :lol: :hug:

Yeah experimenting with different styles, lyrics and instrument playing probably would.

Exactly, it could give him new ideas with his own music too. :nod:

Yeah he could use something he's come across and make it his own.

In non-music-related news, looks like Kris was asked to shoot a promo for GAP, not sure how it came about but it's pretty cool.

Couldn't believe that @gap asked me to shoot for their upcoming fall line! #blessed But couldn't think of 2 better subjects to embody their new slogan. LIVE WHAT YOU WEAR.

Yeah exactly and I'm sure it would be awesome because it's Kris we're talking about. :D

Oh that's cool! Let me get this right, he took the photos?

Pretty much :nod:

Yeah, he is :nod: Many fans were a bit confused about it at first too and thought he would be the subject xD

I was a little confused too because when I looked at the pic and recognized Cale but the other guy didn't look like Kris at all. xD

Yeah someone was actually wondering if it's Kris "under all that hair" :lol: But yeah he is behind the camera.

Haha, that's funny. :lol: Well, it's a cool gig and great photos too. :D

Yeah at a certain angle, he might actually look like him a bit :lol:

Yeah, at a quick glance he definitely does. :lol:
