Ordinary by Alex Warren

[+ Gar1eth]

I only became aware of this song fairly recently. It was used as  part of the theme music in a second cousin once removed's wedding video. (No I wasn't at the wedding.  I wasn't invited. I have about 40 something second cousins. I don't even know them all in person. I didn't know the bride, but I'm Facebook friends with her mother who is one of my forty or so second cousins. I think I met the mother once or twice in my teens. And I had met her mother (one of my Dad's first cousins a few times.). 

Anyway beyond the family stuff, I thought the song was really beautiful. Alex wrote it as a tribute to his wife. But there's a cover by Sam Tsui and his husband Casey Breves which I may like even better. Here are two men expressing their love for each other in song. It's very beautiful. Plus I'm a sucker for harmony.

 

Here's the original for comparison.

I don't disagree with that ranking.
