Cover of "City Hall" - Vienna Teng

Recorded 11/29/10. This is a piano song - a beautiful piano song that I didn't attempt to capture the intricacies of...so you should check out the original! When I first heard "City Hall," I actually thought of the legalization of interracial marriages in 1967, but when I saw a video in which Vienna Teng said the song was about her hometown of San Francisco, it became clear it's inspired by the gay marriage situation. Either way, here's to love of all kinds.

I discovered Vienna Teng recently on one of my youtube music trails where I start somewhere, which leads somewhere else, and all of a sudden I've gone down the rabbit hole.

But in all seriousness, no music has taken me quite the same way Vienna Teng's did right off the bat. It's unique, charming, mature, sophisticated, and achingly beautiful. It's the kind of music I wish more people were making, but the fact that she isn't that well known is just an indication of how capricious the music industry is.

Other than for my own personal enjoyment, the main reason I make these covers and post them on youtube and facebook, and share lots of music links on my facebook, is to sort of try and do what little bit I can to share these beautiful gems I come across with whoever may stumble upon my videos/links. For a lot of the artists I listen to, word of mouth spreading of the fanbase is really important, and I'm happy to be a part of that. :)
