Reasons Why Peter Hollens Is Amazing

Ok seriously this guy is spectacular and in this post I am going to prove to you why he is so amazing.

This is the first video of his that I saw and I absolutely loved his voice. I found it because I'm a fan of Landon Austin and was listening to some covers he had done. As you can imagine, this cover made me really happy with both of them in it.

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (originally by Taylor Swift)

Lately I have been going on YouTube and re-discovering Disney songs. I don't think we fully appreciate them as kids but going back now that I'm older I have a new-found love in the amazing and wholesome messages they portray with beautiful music to accompany it. I was looking for a medley and the first one I saw was this one and I thought "hey, I recognize that guy!". Needless to say, I was blown away with his talent once again.

After listening to that song like 10 times, I started a mad search through YouTube to hear more of his songs. I found this song that I have heard numerous times but I thought it was a lot cuter to watch him sing it with his wife who also happens to posses an incredible amount of talent. Oh, and as if I wasn't already well on the road to obsession with his music, he made me like him even more by saying in the description of that video "Music is so powerful it needs to be used for redeeming work, to lift people's spirits and lift their souls. Hope you find some of this in my music." Thank you for restating my purpose in making this blog. I'm glad someone else sees the the importance of listening to clean and wholesome music.

(By the way, I've heard the movie this song is from is not exactly something worth recommending. So, don't watch it.)

Seasons of Love (originally from the musical Rent)

I'm not a big Star Wars fan but the nerd inside of me comes out when I see something this cool (and apparently so does theirs). The video was done so well and I thought it was also cool that I recognized Lindsey Stirling. She is a phenomenal violinist who breaks far away from any violinist stereotypes. Watch and you will get a glimpse of what I mean. Check out her other collaborations, original songs, and covers here: http://www.youtube.com/user/lindseystomp

Being a Lord of the Rings/ Hobbit fan, I was pretty excited to find this. I am amazed at how much of a range he has when it comes to singing. Acapella music never ceases to amaze me. (Pst. There is also a version he did with Jun Sung Ahn who is playing the violin. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ylfb3FRvuVU ).

I wish this was my job. I guess I need to practice singing more.
