A Great Big World: Say Something

Sorry not sorry that this post is going to get really personal. Hopefully, you guys won't mind.

A Great Big World is an indie pop duo from New York consisting of singer-songwriter, Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino. Both of them are graduate from New York University studying music business.

Say Something is their debut single from their first album Is There Anybody Out There?. The single was released in early September while the album will be available next year. Say Something was actually featured in Ian Axel's solo album and was released as the first single in February but did not receive much publication.

The song is really simple. The only instrument used are vocals and piano accompaniment. There is also strings accompaniment playing mostly harmonising drone towards the end mostly in the chorus. The chord progression is also quite simple. All in all,  Say Something is simple.

However, this song has moved me in all ways possible. Say Something has moved me emotionally and physically. Every time I hear this song, something in me is touched and moved. I cried like a baby when I first listen to this song. Ian Axel vocals is just so full of emotion that you can actually feel it. You can feel what he felt and what Say Something is meant to be if it is an emotion.

In fact, Christina Aguilera heard Say Something and fell in love right in that they re-recorded the song to feature Christina Aguilera's vocal harmonising to Ian Axel.

Say Something was also featured in So You Think You Can Dance 2013 by choreographer Stacey Tookey. The piece was performed by winner Amy Yakima and all-star Robert Roldan. The piece was so beautiful. It even made Paula Abdul teared up! The dance tells a story about two best friends and the guy fell in love with the girl without her realising. And when he decided to let go, she realised that she loved him too all along. If you have been in this situation, you will understand all the emotions when you watch the piece..

So, there you go guys. Say Something is the song that is the world to me since September. I fell in love right in and I can not even expressed how much I love this song without being emotional and started sharing personal details about myself and being extremely subjective, which I'm going to avoid for now.

Let me know in the comments below, what song has moved you guys recently? Or what is the ultimate song that will make you feel ultimately different when you hear it? Share and I will listen to them and feature it here!
