Cello cover of “Castaways” from The Backyardigans.
Taking a crack at the catchiest song of 2005! I’m so impressed that such a great song was part of a kids show, and I’m glad to see it getting a second life. There’s so much art created for kids that doesn’t get the same kind of serious appreciation it deserves just because it was made for a younger audience. Shoutout to the original composer Doug Wieselman!
I’ve always been a big bossa nova fan, and I had so much fun trying to create that same chill, perpetual groove in this piece. I also recently moved out, so this is the first video filmed in in my own place! Guess you could say I’m a bit of a castaway myself now...
