That little conversation between the guitar and bass is something else.

[JonahBaker]

SO much fun singing with you guys!! Keep crushing it! 🙌🏽

[Balthazar]

The restraint is more powerful than the noise. 🤯

[belacruz]

Broke into a smile at the funkiness of the chorus

[dfinma]

The little riffs they drop in all over the place are just masterful. The keys into the guitar into the bass at 2:35 is outstanding.

[SuperJerbot]

Such an awesome arrangement. The bass MAKES it. As much in the moments where it doesn't play as where it leads. So well done and so deliciously funky in the chorus - gorgeous understated vocals too. Thank you! Beautiful!

[SiRushBass]

My monday afternoon just got a whole lot better. Thanks guys

[JacobSoucy]

tambourine makes the chorus hit g o o d

[pauld]

0:54 Love how much the guitarist, bassist and keys guys are feeling the funk

[christelgomez]

I heard this song the other day at my job and instantly fell in love with your voice and the funkiness of it! It put a smile on face and made me wanna dance! I had to pull out my phone and ask Google who sung this. I love it!

[RPRosen-kifk]

WOW, what a truly GREAT song, I had forgotten all about it. I hope Natasha is doing well, where ever she is. Thanks SP for choosing great songs to cover. WELL DONE ... as usual.

[TheMrCC]

This song already had a good upbeat tempo and groove. You made it even more groovy. Didn't know that was possible. Well done.

[ziazaidi]

Bass and guitar so tasty I barely noticed the vocals at first

"Unwritten"

I am unwritten, can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

I break tradition, sometimes my tries
Are outside the line
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Even the person holding the camera is a straight up G! This was awesome! 1:09 bass guitar omg

[mr.flamtap]

Utmost respect for the singer playing the tambourine! It's amazingly on point!

[camillaj]

love the expressions of the pianist every time haha

[brownsugar]

I just heard this song while shopping in Ross. I thought to myself "damn, this is FUNKY!" A min later my teenager (jazz bass player) ran up to me and asked if I knew what song it was, because he loved it. I cannot believe how underrated this arrangement is!

[zack]

been waiting for this one for weeks


Favorite off Colors by far! That chorus though, impossible not to bop your head to

[YamiRa]

This is how unwritten has always sound in my head!! I love it!! :D
