Two is Better than One

“Behind every great man there is a great woman.”

I’m sitting in my room, clothes all-a-cluttered and strewn across my bed. I’m rummaging for something. My sister is busy dolling herself up for this audition or that meeting – something that working actresses have to do – when this song comes up through the speakers of her macbook. The guy’s voice is familiar, a whiny, emo-alt-rock tremor my ears are used to hearing.

“Boys Like Girls?” I ask, referring to the pop rock band fond of swishing their long emo bangs as they rock out to their emo guitars.

“Yep,” My sis replies.

“Cool,” I nod in approval.

Then, a lovely female voice appears.  The pitch is high and a little bit airy.

I gasp, “Taylor Swift?”

My sis nods, “yep.”

Very cool.

I ransacked through the personal playlist of favorite songs in my head and found that most of them are duets between a pop-ish boy group’s lead singer and cute lady singer. There’s just something magnified about a song when it is backed by a softer, feminine twang. Here are some of my favorites…

Two is Better than One – Boys Like Girls ft. Taylor Swift

You Don’t Know Me – Ben Folds ft. Regina Spektor

The Saltwater Room – Owl City ft. Breanne Düren

Someday We’ll Know – Switchfoot ft. Mandy Moore
