Hey all!

Here's my most recent nearly half-hour long video essay on Céline Dion...I know that's why you guys support me, haha. It's all about the powerful effect of key changes, and why I think her arrangement of All By Myself has the greatest key change in all of popular song.

I'll be posting the little chat I had with my mom shortly here also!
