It must be nice to have a brother who can sing with you. Then when you want to make a little harmony you can grab your brother even if he's not in the mood you can make him do it

So many things to like about this... the way voices blend when you’re family, but Skylar’s voice is still his own... and the differences, Carson’s body is quiet as he plays and sings but Skylar can’t sit still. 👍🏼

I thought Skylar was Carson since he wear the red checker outer shirt (idk how it reminds me of Carson, did he wear it somewhere) and when I saw to the right I was like "two Carsons?!" Then I realized they both McKees. What's better than a McKee? TWO McKees!! Superb. It's one hour till new years in my place and I think I'd loop this till the new decade come.
