New Video: Digression 16: Valentine’s Day Karaoke 2017 – ‘Some Guys Have All the Luck’ by Rod Stewart

Here’s the other video. Enjoy!

Digression 16: Valentine’s Day Karaoke 2017 – “Some Guys Have All the Luck” by Rod Stewart

The annual tradition returns! This year’s song is a little different, though. Normally I sing what I like to call “hopeful songs of longing for love,” but this year I decided to go with a classic ’80s ditty that describes my love life to a tee. I’m sure it does for many of you, too. Enjoy!

Digression 13: Valentine’s Day Karaoke 2016 – ‘Gotta Be Somebody’ by Nickleback

Digression 13: Valentine’s Day Karaoke 2016
Performed by Nathan Marchand
I had to pick between two songs for this year’s Valentine’s Day karaoke. After much back-and-forth, I chose “Gotta Be Somebody,” one of the few Nickleback songs I like. Since I remain single on this narrowly romantic holiday, I continue to choose songs that hope for a love yet to be found. Be encouraged, fellow singles!
This is also video evidence that I might be tone deaf. Or a bad singer. Both? (Maybe I should stop recording these while wearing headphones).

Digression 9 & 9.5: ’50 Shades of RAGE!’ and ‘V-Day Karaoke 2015’

It’s been a while since I posted a Digression–and boy, is this one a doozy! I go on an angry rant about why I hate “Fifty Shades of Grey” and I’m boycotting the film adaptation.

The annual tradition returns!

This year for your listening (dis)pleasure, I sing the classic “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey–and learn that I should never sing tenor ever again! I freely admit I’d be an “American Idol” reject. I hope you find it funny and sing along.

Digression 8: Valentine’s Day Karaoke 2014 – ‘If’ by House of Heroes

I’m a day late, but not a dollar short! I’ve decided to make V-Day karaoke videos an annual tradition. This year, I sing one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. Sadly, I re-learn why I shouldn’t sing tenor. Let’s just say I thought I should start a band called American Idol Rejects. While I didn’t have a specific girl in mind when I sang this, I identify with several lines from the song. Enjoy!

Digression 4: Valentine’s Day Karaoke – “Send Me an Angel” by The Megas

(Wondering where “Digression 3” is? Watch it here).

I may dislike Valentine’s Day, but it won’t stop me from doing a karaoke video to celebrate it! Not only to do you get to hear me sing (badly), I posted the lyrics so you can sing along.

I chose the cover of Real Life’s “Send Me an Angel” recorded by the Mega Man tribute band, The Megas. Why? First, it’s an ’80s song (I love that decade). Second, it was covered by The Megas, one of my favorite bands. Third, I’ve yet to hear a song that so perfectly expresses my own longing to one day find a special girl.

Special thanks to:
Real Life, for originally recording the song
The Megas, for this amazing and nerdy cover
Jarod Marchand, for making a cameo
Sergio Garza, for providing the microphone prop
