Mystical Magical

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This week's song is about a new love affair, and Benson Boone bounces between frustration and optimism when he thinks about it. Does anything inspire your mixed emotions these days?  my mixed emotions are about my upcoming trip to Virginia, to visit my sister and her family.  Mixed emotions because I'm flying out the day after school gets done.  No time between.

2) The lyrics mention "moonbeam ice cream," which is something Benson just made up. Last summer, when this week's song became popular, ice cream shops were inspired to create flavors with that name. What's your favorite ice cream flavor, and will you take that in a cup or cone? lately, it's been mint chip, although I had some Snickers ice cream that was delicious!  in a cup, please!

 

3) He sings that "once you know" about a love like this, "you know." Tell us about something you had to experience to fully understand. End of the year teacher tired!

 

4) He composed this song at the piano. Do you play piano? no

5) He first sang in public at a high school talent show, which he only entered on a dare. Can you recall any dares from your junior high or high school days? no, I can't recall any specifics, although there were so many, it's no wonder I can't remember!

6) Benson was a good high school athlete and competed in diving at the state level. Can you execute a dive off the diving board? oh, hell no

7) When he was 18, Boone auditioned for American Idol. What were you up to when you were 18?  taking college classes and working a part-time job at a gas station

  

8) Benson has a dog named Max. He's not alone in this. "Max" is one of the most popular pet names in the US today. Have you ever known anyone (furry or otherwise) named Max? I currently have a student named Max

 

9) Random question: If we knocked on your door on one of your lazy, stay-at-home days, what would we likely find you wearing? skinny jeans and a hoodie or a t-shirt depending on the temp
