Grandma: I don't know, they sound like they'd be kind of violent...
Me: I think you'd actually like them! Their music is really mellow and pretty, not like their name at all.

I gave up on choir too early, and as a result, the ability to harmonize seems to me like some kind of strange sorcery. Where do harmonies come from? What are they made out of?
