I'm starting a new "Never Knew" blog topic...it will be about things I never knew about something, and when I learn what it's about, I'll blog about it!
Never Knew thing of the moment? Gravity. No, not the force that Newton measured. The song. By my dude John Mayer -insert fan girl screams here-. From his album Continuum (one of my favorites album, just throwing that in there).
I've known this song for a while, listened to it and always loved it. And if y'all know me, when I like a song, I play it a million times. No joke.
So here I am listening to Gravity for the who knows how many times, and around the last 50 seconds I've always admired the background vocals. I guess I was so oblivious, or just didn't realize just who it was.
Background vocals on Gravity provided by my girl - Alicia Keys. Yep. I learned that just a few days ago, and I gotta say I was shocked, as dorky as that sounds. I've listened to Alicia for years now and I can recognize her voice from practically anywhere, from her talking voice to her shouting voice (like on Smokin' Aces, lol). I finally figured that out after listening to that last bit for a loooong time, listening to her breath and the "oooooh". It was definitely her. Also checked out websites just to confirm it, and man, I gotta say I felt stupid that I didn't know that until now. Knowing how much I love Alicia and John...it's crazy!
But I gotta say, I love Gravity in a whole new level now ;)
