If you’re in love with someone who you know isn’t good for you, we’ve found a song for you. Joshua Bassett’s debut single “Common Sense,” which is both melodic, soothing and honest is just what we need while in quarantine.
If you’re unfamiliar with Basset, he is on the break out series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Not only is Bassett an actor and multi-instrumentalist, he is also a multitasker! The song came to him while he was driving. He quickly found a place to park, took out his guitar and completed the song in fifteen minutes.
His single debut definitely comes full circle. Bassett has amassed 1.3 million followers on Instagram with his first post being a live version of “Common Sense” back in 2018. As the song was being re-mixed and mastered, Bassett re-listened to the Instagram version of the tune. He found a liking to the chirping of birds in the video and pulled the birdsong from the live performance into the final version of the song.
Bassett’s keen musicianship and genuine vocals truly deliver on “Common Sense.” Watch the official lyric video for Joshua Bassett’s debut single, “Common Sense” below:
