Ernie Halter is Fun

"This week's video request goes to Caden. My biggest littlest fan. "See You Again" Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana). You're probably thinking, "oh no he didn't"... well, i did." - Ernie Halter via youtube




In my quest for more Muse music, I got distracted after discovering their youtube channel and decided to look up another youtube channel that I've known about for years, but never subscribed to. Needless to say, I fixed that right away and came across this gem in the process.  Now, as you may know, I'm a big fan, in general, of people who just seem cool, don't take themselves too seriously and are just fun to be around.  And when they happen to be musicians, a lot of fun to see and hear.  Ernie Halter is one of those people.  If you're not familiar with him, let me fill you in a little.  Ernie is a soul-influenced singer-songwriter from L.A. who used the internet and social networking to his advantage in order to build a fanbase.  He is now signed to Rock Ridge Music, which, among other things, provides worldwide distribution.  Pretty cool, huh?
Anyway, back to the video.  This is where I admit to a guilty pleasure - I totally got sucked into this song when it came out and was getting all that airplay.  I love a catchy tune every once in a while.   And although I don't remember who it was at the time, I definitely had someone I just couldn't wait to see again in that teenage crush sort of way.  So, here's my one (hopefully not of many) posts mentioning Miley Cyrus.  So, how did Ernie end up doing this song, you ask?  Well, I don't know the full story on this particular one - you'd have to ask him.  I do recall him asking fans to request covers a few years back, from which he would then chose one to post on youtube each week. And I'm pretty sure they're all still there (in case you were wondering ;)).  This one, I'm guessing, came from a very young fan based on Ernie's video description. Anyway, I found this the other night and thought it was great so I had to share.
I thought, however, in all fairness to Ernie, that I would post one of his originals as well.  This one is called Played and I love it because I think it's so funny and so true.  Who hasn't been attracted to someone they knew would break their heart and still wanted them, maybe even more-so because of it?  Love it!
