Keeping Up With The Chaldeans - Lily Alattar [24:52-29:15]

Do you do covers? So you're seeing it at the coffee shop? Yes. What kind of songs do you sing? What are some of your favorites or what's in the playlist? Yes. A lot. It is a two-hour set. Oh, sure. It is a two-hour set. So I'll make it grumbling. $20? No, I know. Luckily, I do a little better than that. But I love it, though. So it's fine. It's great exposure. So I would say I have a ton of songs. Ed Sheeran, a lot of thinking out loud, things that people know when they like. I'll sing Whitney Houston. I want to dance with somebody. That's how I close with that one. Amy Winehouse, Valerie. I'll do some kind of worship music, too, like Oceans. And Lord, I need you as a great one. I do enjoy that one, some worship songs. And just kind of a mix of everything. Sometimes the weekend, Ariana Grande, throwing everything from the camera. All the good stuff. All the good stuff, exactly. And I keep them like guitar, piano, coffee, shop, vibe. Do you play an instrument? No, I can play the piano by ear. Oh, sure. But that's pretty much it. Just my voice is the instrument. Gotcha. What about communion's weddings? So my brother, not Kyle. I have to say my actually just got married in November. OK. I sing the mother-son dance song at the wedding. So that was very special. I would like to get more into weddings. I'm going to need kind of more of a band to do that. But I do farmer's markets as well. I've done the Royal Oak Farmer's Market and the Birmingham Farmer's Market as well. And I feel like those are great ways to kind of like open yourself up to. Because Royal Oak is a pretty decent music kind of music town. Exactly. Art speeds and eats. Yes, art speeds and eats. Yes. You don't eat anything there? I have not. Not at art speeds and eats, but that would definitely be a goal of mine, for sure. That would be super cool. Yeah. Is there anything that we didn't cover that we talked about ahead of time that you wanted to kind of put out there to the masses? Or do we cover everything, you think? I think we covered everything. OK, so before we close out and the way we do close out these shows is we ask the guest, what does it mean to you to be Caldeon? Wow, forget a question. That's why we ask. To tie it in kind of with the anthems and everything, singing the National Anthem as a Caldeon woman is just it's different. It's just really different because not only are you honoring your country, but my parents, like many others, came here to like escape religious persecution, right? And this country has given them so much and has given us so much. We have the opportunity to go to school and make all these different kinds of friends and the opportunity to do, like, sing and act and everything like that. So I think being a Caldeon woman, that sings the National Anthem, is something so much deeper, at least. And if it's not to you, everyone else, it's to me, because I'm not only honoring the great country that has given me this opportunity, but it's an homage to my parents immigrating here to give us a better life. And that we can practice our religion freely. Very cool. Great answer. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thank you, everyone, for joining us. I hope the young ends out there got little inspiration from this amazing woman for the women out there and the, hold on, are you Kyle? Yeah. 25. So Kyle's 25, but, you know, 24 and down, you know, give him a call. Look up Kyle, what's the last name? He's off, completely off social media, completely off, which is great. Yeah, it's good. OK. It's good. Yeah, bless him. Well, thanks. Thanks for joining us all. We will see you on the next one. I think you.
