Now admittedly, these four videos were recorded when she was 15, and were any of us good at literally anything at 15? The video above, shot for Sessions@AOL, shows the title track from her album Finally Out Of PE. The world wasn't ready for lyrics like I play guitar / But in your class / That won't get me far / Please give me a "C" / So that I can be / Finally out of PE. As much as this might speak to the pains of gawky teens everywhere, I'm not sure this is an accurate look at how school works.
Despite closing with a song featured on the soundtrack of Barbie And The Magic Of Pegasus (a film with a bigger box office gross than Endgame, if my research is correct), Finally Out Of PE sold just 4,000 copies. Today, when recounting her rise to fame, Larson doesn't even mention her attempt at a music career, probably hoping to forget it. "I wanted to wear sneakers and play my guitar -- they wanted heels and windblown hair," she says when pressed.
