Tyler is one of the most confident people I know. He is confident without being cocky, which of course, is extremely attractive. This makes perfect sense because he has the goods to back it up. There is only one thing he doesn't do so well...
When Tyler Sings
Tyler will be the first to admit that he can't sing. He told me this long before I ever heard him hum a note. He told me that the only time he did it was when he was alone and the music overtook him. From that early moment, I was anxious to hear him belt out any tune he fancied. Partly from curiosity and partly because his guard was up about it. Now, Tyler is not shy, nor is he self-conscious. He is very open about his feelings and opinions, which I love. But apparently his sisters (who can sing) would tease him because he couldn't, causing even more self-doubt. Therefore, I was anxiously awaiting the day he felt comfortable enough with me to let out his inner American Idol.
It happened slowly. Tyler would sing along in the car, very softly. Indeed that was a step forward. When I pointed it out, he got all bashful. In time, Tyler stopped holding back. Sometimes he sings along with the radio and other times he makes up nonsensical little tunes. He still doesn't serenade me or anything (I wouldn't mind it if he did, because he's not that bad of a singer), but I love that he is comfortable enough with me to show that side of himself. So even though Tyler isn't going to land any record deals, his singing is pure joy to my ears.
