Prompt: "A song that feels specifically written for you"
Selected by Allison
"The Universe Is Laughing"
The Guggenheim Grotto
The Universe Is Laughing, 2010
I'm easy to please; just give me a ukulele and some heavy harmonies. When this song comes up on a playlist that I adorably titled "Singin' Songs," it gets an immediate replay. The first time through, I sing the lead. The second time around, I'm on harmony. At the time of writing, this song has 796,673 plays on Spotify, and I probably account for half of them. Here's another fun fact: until sitting down to write this, I had never heard another song by the Guggenheim Grotto. Why am I like this? An estimated 398,336 listens, and I never bothered to see what else they could do. Maybe I got exactly what I needed from the Guggenheim Grotto; I never needed to ask them for anything more. This song is perfect.
