Every once in a while I think about the barbershop arrangement of "It's Over Isn't It" that me and some friends learned last year. Partially because that arrangement was awesome and people loved hearing it and it's my favorite experience with barbershop to date, but also because this arrangement used as its intro an excerpt from "Drift Away" —

Happily wondering night after night
Is this how it works? Am I doing it right?
Happy to listen, happy to stay
Happily watching her drift away

— and that's an incredibly fascinating recontexualization of both songs, isn't it? I think so, at least! I wish I had the brainpower to delve into that, though. It could be a fun little meta post!

(Edit: I found a video of this arrangement being performed!)
