The Return of the Cups! (I Don't Wanna Live Forever)

Hi friends! Here's another bonus video for you all this month! You might have caught it on Kurt's channel a couple weeks ago, but I always like to share it on mine as well for anyone who might have missed it :)

Kurt always likes to make it a challenge, and the cups certainly get that job done. Took a LOT of takes for us to all get it right. We had a ton of fun, but I won't lie, it does get a little tense as the takes go on... haha. Love these folks so much though! 

I'll be posting another video at the end of next week and I think I'm going to make it a Throwback Session! I always enjoy getting nostalgic and revisiting my oldies :)

Wow, I am noticing my overuse of "!" and ":)" and I'm really sorry about it. I hope it's not too obnoxious. I'm just happy and excited about things and want to convey that! (There I go again.)

*^*^*^*^ (That's me trying to get the attention of anyone who wasn't planning on reading this far down) To any new patrons out there--if you've joined at the $5 level or above, we'll be doing our monthly Coffee Date Hangout this Sunday at 11am PST. I'll be sending out the private link before we go live. See you soon!

Thank you all for being the best, truly.

That was such an amazing performance with only cups and four talented people!

Hi kina😊❤️️ That was awesome! I loved it!!😍 And I'm wondering how many times did you guys take😳 Anyways it was really impressive! Btw recently Im also trying to embrace who I really am, like a whole of me. Sometimes.. Mm maybe not sometimes, I quite often struggle with it tho.. I find that embracing everything I have or what surrounding me is fairly difficult but really necessary. Anyway! I love your natural curly hair a lot😄❤️️ It suits you😊

Kina, you should definitely collab with those other musicians! They're all indie artists like you, but not much of a following you have. It would be awesome!

OMG I love this! It's sooooo good! Wish I could be in that park listening to all the retakes. You guys are awesome with your harmonies and hand eye coordination. Sadly, I'm moving out of state from FL... so I wish I could go to Safety Harbor. That place is a hidden gem of a singer/songwriter music fest. It's super chill.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD ❤☺🎶 You're all mega rock stars in my book 😝🤘🏼 I'm on a crusade to tell more people of your magnanimity via Twitter so more people can enjoy your uncommonly good vocals and curly hairededness 😂😉 Yep, I just made up a word for you 🙀 And I'm with Jim - there isn't an obnoxious bone in your body. You're sweet and genuine to the core ❤☺🎶

thank you jim! <3

hahaha <3

p.s. 😎

from one naturally curly-haired human to another: thank you for this video and for everything else that makes you the special lady that you are! ! oh, and please believe me when I say that you couldn't be obnoxious if you tried and you never have to say you're sorry for being happy and excited! xo (HUG) 🙂❤️ Jim

I have been known to reroll my shirt sleeves multiple times because the cuffs didn't turn out precisely how I wanted them to. Meanwhile you're out here looking smashing and your clothes literally aren't even on all the way? You must be one cool customer 😎

thanks john! so glad you enjoyed it (and even for a second time) :)

aw i'm so glad you enjoyed the cups! makes it worth all the takes!

Saw this b4 but soooo much fun to see again and very beautiful. Extremely artfully done!

The only way I can keep rhythm is with others. Alone, I wander all over the beat (which I choose to call "expressiveness"). When I play a percussion instrument, such as a cup, shows that not even being with others can keep me precisely on the beat. So, yeah, nice song, excellent vocal arrangement, amazing voices. But it's the percussion that had me mesmerized all the way through, especially when it went away for that one interval - felt like I was hanging in mid-air.

haha this is true, pants at all is a win!

Well, at least you have some kind of pants on... :) You are ALL highly coordinated. I'd fail before five seconds (without any singing).
