I had the honor of arranging Better Homes and Gardens for Taking Back Sunday, performed live with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra at the Alternative Press Music Awards Show. Taking Back Sunday have built a devoted following with their emotionally charged songwriting and powerful performances. Better Homes and Gardens stands out as a raw, heartfelt track that resonates deeply with fans. My orchestral arrangement aimed to highlight the song’s intensity and emotional depth by blending rich strings and dynamic orchestral textures. Performing it with CYO brought a fresh, vibrant energy that gave the song a bold new dimension on stage.
