Spain's Music Day

 Hi you all!

I am aware that International Music Day is October 1. However, I grew up in Spain, where Music Day is observed on November 22nd, in other words, today. So I've decided to celebrate this special day by sharing an a cappella cover of a song that I happen to like. And, yes, there's a didactic side to it. The song deals with one of the experiences that most humans can relate to: breaking up with a romantic partner, which is something we discussed in a recent C1.2 class. Allow me to refresh your frazzled memory... We talked about the perils of the current dating scene, one of them being the dreaded experience of getting ghosted. Remember? No? Seriously? You don't remember I played Someone That I Used to Know by Gotye?

Anyway, the song you're about to listen to is about just that: being "erased". Enjoy the Havard Opportunes performance of Lizzy McAlpine's 2022 hit Erase Me and you'll understand that pop music can indeed be glorious. It just doesn't get any better than this. Absolutely mind-blowing.
