Blue Skies - Alaska

[7207elliot]

you+laurena should do a collaboration or something :D

[theghostintheattic]

I just fread Looking for Alaska today,I started it this morning and read it all day.After finishing it all I wanted to do is come here and listen to your song,because I had seen it a long time ago and I figured I should probably wait until I get the book.I adored it,just like I knew I would,both the book and the song.You managed to convey everything perfectly,and this song now holds a special place in my heart.

[QueenOfTheAubergines]

I remember listening to this before reading Looking For Alaska, and not understanding it at all, but loving the song. It was calming and helped me relax. Since then I've listened to it more and understood what it was about, but now whenever I listen to it I'm flooded with memories of that time.

[click5rox12]

i luv the bit where u go we r invincibleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:)

[wemblewot]

this is one of the most calming songs ever. one of my favorites about one of my favorite books. first blue skies song i heard and nowhere near the last. (:

[potterpeach]

this is my most played song on my ipod with over 350 plays (although my friend helped with a lot of those haha) i love this song so much.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@itsamemyleo cheers mate! :)

[Ursulaardeedaar]

I read this book a while ago and it is one of my favourites, the fact that you wrote a song about it made my day (:

[click5rox12]

i luv this song!

[saskiaartiste126]

I first listened to this song before reading the book, and thought it was brilliant. Watching it again after reading it however, has given it a whole new meaning, and it's simply beautiful.

Kudos.

[MagnificentSteph]

This is beautiful.

[MonsterUnderYourB3d]

How do you get out of this labyrinth...?

[SoundsLikeKarin]

Amazing! I love it!

[emmetgirl]

did you know that there is a music festival called "blue skies" in clarendon, ontario?

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

@emmetgirl I did not but I have a new goal in life!

[ofarevolution441]

Ah. I just finished this. (I know, only a few years behind everyone else, it's alright)

But yeah. Wonderful as always, compadre.

[OneShoeBandit]

Of all of the injustices of youtube, i'd say that the fact this only has 9,331 views is the biggest.

[elaskaYoung]

I love this song. Its absolutely amazing.

[t3gan]

The guitar reminded me of Act Of Contrition by Bright Eyes.

[MyHallelujah]

Such a pretty song. The lyrics are amazing. All thanks to Mr. John Green for the inspiration, of course :)

[jvd897]

Just as haunting as the book. Awesome awesome awesome.

[dancingqueendc]

<3 ur developing techniques in video making, the white flowers are a nice touch, many symbols there. Great job. How long did u "script" (written vs comic strip/box)? Very cool thx 4 ur talents!

(Btw that Oz poster: does toto play toto or have u a sub for him also? Jw...)

[hdonkers]

[ForeverAPrincess21]

Everytime i read this book it leaves me in tears summing up how i feel about....everything. Thank you for this song :)

[5xLEXii]

you're absolutely amazing at what you do. this was so beautiful. i still prefer when you sing in a higher octave, but your voice sounds stunning in a low key too:)

[emmfan09]

Very yes.

[accgirl01]

Beautiful and touching song for an amazing book!

[onyxman8]

Great Perhaps!!!!

[mickeleh]

New ending, eh? And yet very much in the spirit of the traditional Blue Skies ending. You have a way of doing very deep dives with calm and assured simplicity.

Quite a moving song. The sombre mood is very fitting with the the book. Alaska is probably my favorite book by John Green and you managed to do it justice which goes to your credit.

[OrgasmandTea]

I loved this book, and this song. Erm, we have wizard rock (wrock) and timelord rock (trock), so does that make this Grock...? Jrock...? Alrock...?

[TimeladyKelsey]

[Polkadotpidge]

So pretty. I love it.

[CheekTV]

Very lovely :) xD

[BrokenWaffles]

Sweet shit I love this song.

[apehodet]

is this old? it sounds vaguely familiar.

[ofcoursecali]

I was listening to this without reading the description box and I screamed "THIS REMINDS ME OF LOOKING FOR ALASKA, HOLY SHIIIIT!!". Then I read the bottom bar...

[goingforthegold]

The tune of this sounds similar to an early bright eyes song... any influence from one song in particular? I can't figure out what song it sounds like though... I know your a fan of his help me out, its driving me crazy. It sounds like something from 95-97

[L0VEx1901]

@goingforthegold At some points it sounds sort of like Motion Sickness, don't know if that's what you were thinking of but that's what came to my mind!

[bexwithanx29]

This is stunning - hauntingly beautiful music, real effort put into the visual side of it and the result is a video I have just played seventeen times running and can't get out of my head. Kudos :P x

[CaroDudelt]

Dave dave dave, just Beautiful!!

And still I'd like to get my SitC shirt sometime -.-

[MillieStarX]

[rubyrubyxxilovemen]

Great book! and beautiful song for it!! :D

[StephanoelaLovesRHCP]

Jesus this is beautiful...

if they ever make a movie out of that brilliant book (they are, right?), they'd better pick this as the soundtrack...

[LoudIndoorVoice]

Damn that's a good book song! XD aw man I love that book XD

[cofantamaria]

I can't help thinking you're Pudge and it makes me cry. It's like listening to his voice out loud when he narrates the story, not only in my head. Dave this song is wonderful!

[beka988]

Awwwwwww (^. ^)

So cute! :D

[xOliverTuesday]

This is just... beautiful.
