Double recommendation here:
1.) You young'uns probably don't know Supertramp. Catch up.
2.) This YT channel is my new favorite lunchtime watch! She analyzes vocal technique (something I know ZERO about) and how it interconnects with the lyrics, emotion, the rest of the song's elements. But the real joy is watching her react to a song for the first time as she steps through it.

Watching her absorb Supertramp's constantly unexpected, wonderfully unique pizzazz while appreciating the singer's heartfelt storytelling is a blast.
I've loved this song for DECADES but it's really cool to appreciate it in a new way from her more technical perspective and her own in-the-moment emotional reactions.
One more:
Girl HAD NEVER HEARD "BLACK" BEFORE!!
She's enthusiastic-ish enough in the beginning, but in kind of a polite (i.e. not mind blown) way. And then the raw, furious crescendos hit at the end and she's like, "Holy shit!" 🤯
Eddie Vedder is a force.
Love EV!
Was stoked seeing the SuperTramp one, Soooooooo stoked you put this in the thread - one of my favs, so cool to see "why" it's so bad ass. She's fun and smart, dig it!
Eddie Vedder is just so intense.
I watched this one today and cried along with her:
