Don’t Stop Believin’ Crowdsource Choir (Dec. 1)
Lucas is always looking for ways to be part of live music. One of our new favorite events is “Crowdsource Choir”, a monthly event that takes place at different locations in South Seattle. A group — sometimes as big as 100 — gets together practices a song for an hour or so before singing it one final, triumphant time. Most recently we participated in the Crowdsource Choir for the classic Journey song Don’t Stop Believin’. Lucas explains more below, followed by the video (you can see us in the front row).
Last week Susie, Richard, Ezra, Madison and Rebeca all met us at the Royal Room and we all sang Don’t Stop Belivin’ at a crowd Source choir. It was awesome, especially the last full time through. We practiced each part and everyone learned their part. We really rocked the last 2 full times. My favorite part was when we sang the whole thing because we sounded great.

Hey, Lucas, I just watched the video of you guys singing your hearts out – and you’re right: you guys DID sound awesome when you sang “Don’t Stop Believin'” all the way through! The energy in that room seemed to be pure joy! I have loved singing since I was your age! Did you know that scientific research has shown that singing helps make people happier? Here’s a quote about that: Singing can help tame stress but also lift the spirits. Singing is a natural antidepressant. According to information published in Time magazine, singing may release endorphins associated with feelings of pleasure, as well as stimulate the release of oxytocin, a hormone that is found to alleviate anxiety and stress.
So glad you all got to participate!
