She & Him

Okay, this is one of my favorite duet, She & Him.

This duet combined two unique people that finally made a great music, Zooey Deschanel and Matt Ward. One of my favorite song is, 'Why Do You Let Me Stay" and I love the video (the one with Zooey and Joseph Gordon Levitt) so much! Well, now let me share you their story. I took this from here.

She & Him make music for an eternal springtime, when the temperature is warm enough to go riding with the top (or at least the windows) rolled down and the radio turned up. They occupy an alternate universe where the saddest of songs feel as warm as sun showers; the rain may be coming down, but somewhere nearby, everything looks bright. What began as a fascinating, no-strings attached collaboration on 2008’s Volume One has evolved into a bona fide, touring band, and She & Him are here to stay. Zooey Deschanel and Matt Ward are as comfortable and complementary a musical pair as Les Paul and Mary Ford; hearing them again on Volume Two feels like getting together with two old friends. This time, the harmonies have grown more angelically layered, the string arrangements more dramatic, the songwriting even sharper and more confident. But, as with Volume One, the prevailing mood is bittersweet, dreamy, and romantic.

Some of the best older sogs had very major chord progressions and really sad lyrics. Somehow it all evens out, creating this perfect picture of life...

"Because life is not always sunny, it’s not always dark—it’s somewhere in between.”
