I love revisiting this song (after what seems like too long), you have a lot of other great songs / collabs but this is still my favorite and I hate how youtube makes me have to dig around your channel to get to it.
Kind of hard to get all the words, but this sounds like loser music to me. Not willin to expose myself to the whole bit. I like the number 8, so I was searchin 1988. Next I'll try 1888.
@animesweetie1 it is sad that i have to explain this to you... very sad. 'and to me god's just in other words.' let me break it down for you - and to me god is just in other words. "in other words" is an expression. english must not be your first language. does that help any?
Big fan. But you screwed up your own lyrics. How do you do that? "And to me God's just a metaphor" It's actually "And to me God's just in other words" Not complaining... Why post the album lyrics on this rendition if its obviously different? By the way, if the album version says that, than that's some bad writing. This version is way better.
Seriously, your chord progressions are so complex and rhythmic...they leave you hanging on every note just waiting for that next chord to chime and resound in your ears. You play one heck of a guitar. Rock on!
Hells Yes!!! Hells Yes!!! Hells Yes!!! I love it!!! I love it!!! I love you!!! I'm following you on YouTube and can't get enough I want I need an album Your a breath of fresh air Every song A female Ryan Adams in which all I listen too and have his whole catalog twice
You are such an amazing song writer...and musician..and that's not mentioning that you're absolutely gorgeous.definitely have a youtube crush going on right here.
You have a rare truth in your voice. And your lyrics are well thought out and strongly spoken. You can tell you a person that thinks before they speak. Your music is refreshing. And for that I owe you my appreciation. Please continue to make music.
The inflection you use in this part is undeniably delicate and touchingly poignant. You have an amazing voice, and outstanding musical abilities. Keep up the good work, Lauren. I said it once before, but I'll say it again: I'm sure he knows you better than you think he does. Just remember that line from "Maybe true Stories":
I'm convincing myself that it's all relative,
and if there's a God, when He forgives, I think he must consider it...
I've listened to this so many times that I think you've actually made more money off of me watching it (w/adverts) than you would get if I actually bought the song.
I don't listen to the radio much anymore; it all sounds the same to me. But I do spend a lot of time seaching for original, good music on YouTube. You definitley stand out from the crowd. If you're ever playing anywhere close to where I live, I'll be sure to come see you.
This is a big statement but I've watch a ton of videos on YouTube and in "real life" and you are by far the best songwriter and performer I've seen that is not on a major label.
She plays this song with such enthusiasm. It's truly powerful. The emotion you hear in her vocals and strength with which she strums those six strings...audible art. One guitar, one girl, a little rhythm, and what do you get? A peak into the soul of an artist who has begun a trip down a road to perfecting a craft that few put so much into anymore. It's an uncommon trait. Mad props.
Listening this is SO MUCH nicer when you were born in 1988 too. So cool, Lauren, Congrats, it is cool to know when we have sth in common with people we admire.
Listening this is SO MUCH nicer when you were born in 1988 too. So cool, Lauren, Congrats, it is cool to know when we have sth in common with people we admire.
you are beautiful. a beautiful girl,a beautiful soul. i only wish i possessed such talent and such a perspective as yours. I admire you. And I believe nothing is such a compliment as admiration for artistic talent....as knowing that you can touch so many strangers so DEEPLY with your work. I love how much emotion you inject into your songs. I was an instant fan. Keep on keeping on....no matter what life throws at you! You have something extremely unique and special...
i am currently sitting in the library of my university listening to you as i study for my final essay for the semester and when i clicked on this song i stopped studying and just listened. And then i started to cry...IN THE LIBRARY! i blame you and these fantastic lyrics that are so thoughtful and nostalgic and brilliant and i want that Album!! and now people are staring at me -_-
You're voice is amazing, and you're so talented. You've become one of my favorite singers over this past week, and I'm trying to spread the love for your songs as much as I can. (^_^)
for the longest time i thought you were wearing a weird turtle neck and a pink sweater, and i was questioning your odd fashion sense in this certain video
but now that i realised its just a sweatshirt, i have to admit i'm kinda relieved :P
but, of course, i would definitely love your music either way :)
These lyrics are sick!! So sad and honest. Just awsome... It feels like it could become a tracy chapman classic like fast car. One of those songs that you play in the car on roadtrips, that everyone knows the lyrics to :P
Best lyrics ever... Idon't know how many people feel like me but i feel like this song was written about me. The ideas you have are briliant and each verse is better than the other. I truly understand and relate to every single word of it and I think that's one of the things that make it such a great song. Keep it up :)
I've probably listened to this song 5 time in a row today alone, and it's only 10 in the morning. And I'm at work. I could listen to only it for the rest of the day. It's like, my personal theme song except the year my brother was born.
The last verse particularly gets to me, because the only time in my life when I felt "fine" was at my grandparents house. And personally i've felt lost since they passed.
Butt his song in general is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Considering the fact that you have amazing vocals and beautiful lyrics, I'm not particularly proud of the fact that I haven't listened to any of your originals until tonight. I have seen you on several of Julia Nune's videos though, so here I am.
Better late than never.
This song is beautiful. I applaud intelligent lyrics and you have them.
This reminds me so much of Bright Eyes...and not in a "OH MAH GAWD, STOP COPYING CONOR OBERST, YOU STUPID DOUCHEBAG!" way. In a "OH MAH GAW, THIS IS AMAZING JUST LIKE CONOR OBERST!" way.
So after close inspection I've decided this is I think my favorite song. It's between this and White Noise, but I really love this song. p.s.- If I find you a venue to play in San Francisco, will you play? If so, how big of a venue are you looking for?
i've never commented on this, but i've listened to this song at least 10 times a week for about 3 or 4 months now. It's imperfectly amazing and everyone I've showed it to loves it, too.
i don't mean this horribly, but you voice and singing style kinda reminds me of a female version of James Blunt :) you have a great voice, love the lyrics!
Lauren, I'm a poet too, and I too am amazed by your songwriting. Keep up the good work. And I would be honored if you would Google "each precludes all others." You'll only see one entry...unless this comment shows up.
i think your music is really interesting and different. What is so moving is that you can tell that every song has real emotion behind it. It is relatble to. Thanx for sharing a part of yourself with us.
I can't get over how talented you are. Your lyrics aren't just simple, they tell a story, but not in any typical way. Everything is a metaphor with a literal meaning. If that makes any sense whatsoever....
wow. Your really good!. Very good!. Your voice is so good and een though the chords are the same, it is really good! Your so good, you can go far with a voice like that!. x
-_- the chords. are the same. just a different order. the chord progressions are different, obviously. but the chords are the same. you dont play guitar, do you?
i just said the chords were the same, not that the songs sounded the same. its A F#m, E, and D, or atleast thats what im seeing. both songs have those chords. not in the same order, or style. thats all i was saying
@ilovemyipodnanoyesh the guitar has been around for a very long time and most of the chord progression have already been done now you have to take a chord progression and make it your own. i think you did an awesome job with this song. love both your albums can't wait for the next
@kalkid1 -____- I know that chord progs are hard to 'invent' and everything has basically been done already. I love how everyone has been replying to my one comment about how the songs were similar, and they're acting like they are Dr. Spencer....
That's one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Especially the end. You're amazing at writing lyrics. I love it when a song could be a poem, and you'd still want to read over and over. This song is definitely like that.
I love this song! I was born in 1988 too. But it's more than that ... feels like if I was a better lyricist I could have almost written these words myself. I s'pose that's just a fancy way to say I can relate :)
I love revisiting this song (after what seems like too long), you have a lot of other great songs / collabs but this is still my favorite and I hate how youtube makes me have to dig around your channel to get to it.

-_- the chords. are the same. just a different order. the chord progressions are different, obviously. but the chords are the same. you dont play guitar, do you?
ilovemyipodnanoyesh 2 years ago
im a performer. and i know that having the same chords in two song, in a different order does not make them similar.
GROWMUSIC 2 years ago
i just said the chords were the same, not that the songs sounded the same. its A F#m, E, and D, or atleast thats what im seeing. both songs have those chords. not in the same order, or style. thats all i was saying
ilovemyipodnanoyesh 2 years ago
@ilovemyipodnanoyesh sure the chords used are the same, but they sound nothing alike.

@ilovemyipodnanoyesh the guitar has been around for a very long time and most of the chord progression have already been done now you have to take a chord progression and make it your own. i think you did an awesome job with this song. love both your albums can't wait for the next

@kalkid1 -____- I know that chord progs are hard to 'invent' and everything has basically been done already. I love how everyone has been replying to my one comment about how the songs were similar, and they're acting like they are Dr. Spencer....

That's one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Especially the end. You're amazing at writing lyrics. I love it when a song could be a poem, and you'd still want to read over and over. This song is definitely like that.

Wow. Very proffessional writing. You remind me a little of James Blunt and a little bit of Edie Brickell. How are you not already a YouTube legend?

I love this song! I was born in 1988 too. But it's more than that ... feels like if I was a better lyricist I could have almost written these words myself. I s'pose that's just a fancy way to say I can relate :)

Just got "The Shakes" in the mail yesterday, and this is already my favourite song I've heard you sing.
I feel like I relate to this song a lot (except that I was born in '87...but who's counting?)...so thank you. :)
But bacon is a miracle. Now if you were to write a song about bacon . . .
