Me singing Ain't No Sunshine, by Bill Withers

[buryedalive]

i got left in the fuckin dust when i was born. fuck that old sun of a bitch. i cant forgive the shit he done to me.

[weirdstrokes]

Sun shines on beautiful person and sun blind :D

[roughneck1960]

gives the old man chills.

[mmmdedek2]

Lather. Rinse. Leave cold, wet, and shivering. Repeat.

i "got it" about halfway through when the vocals started to leave the guitar behind in the dust. it'll be better the 2nd time :)

[CSILogic]

There is that heavenly voice again. Gotta admit, it was a bit "mechanical", but good nonetheless. But I realize this was a basic acoustic, guitar-in-hand attempt. But step back, leave the music to someone else, hopefully playing with a little more "swing" or "soul" and you just sing, and you could blow this song out of the water!

[avoicefromabove]

Wow, I hope he came back. In his place, I would never go away, I guess. Ou je me cacherais quelque part dans l'appartement, juste pour écouter la chanson ;)

[digitalmorgan]

hmm.. great voice. It'd be interesting to hear you cover some of the old Joni Mitchell stuff.. like from her 'Blue' album.

[BleakColours]

@progothinko Cool. When you've got something to add that isn't entirely inane, add it.

[BleakColours]

@progothinko Yes I assume it is. Unfortunately you are both. I don't know much about music editing, but a quick google search of "affected voice rendering" returns no direct results. Don't try to sound educated on topics that you clearly are not educated in.

[BleakColours]

@progothinko I didn't notice her ever claiming to be good at either singing or the guitar, but it's evident to most that she is. I didn't notice any real voice editing, it's possible there may have been some, but why do you care anyway? If you hate Nataly and Pomplamoose so much, why have you been watching and commenting on so many of their videos? Envy isn't really a trait that suits anyone. You're no exception.

[CrackPedlar]

you Nataly= therapy.. after a shit day at work, you are 1000% better then ANY fake mind-over-matter bullshit. your song calms me :) xx

[JaeBabe01]

omg i was just thinking this would be the perfect song for u too sing and then bam there it was

[TheWalrus835]

if you sing with your natural 'accent you'd sound even better :-)

[ebrach121]

I heard a rendition of this song on TV. There was like 30 people singing. THIS IS WAYYYYY BETER! Love this :)

[MightyShakaZulu]

WHOOOOO!!!!!

[MrAfrotastic11]

I Know.....

[Innocuouswolf]

Marry me...

[brilaww]

your voice is amazing!

[NorthernRealmJackal]

It's like something isn't really grooving the way it's supposed to ... Nice voice, though.

[IMCcanTWEESTED]

People have trouble with covers that don't emulate the original song note for note. I love your freestyle, natalydawn. Keep singing, playing, and sharing your gift. But always remember where that talent came from...Genes? Yes, but genetics embed the genius of a master musician. We are His poiema, or poem. You are a jar of clay that holds infinite treasure.

[AnaMortl]

you song butchering assmonkey..

[Pipscauthon]

117 people wouldn't know music id it humped their leg...

[madmaia]

@Pipscauthon How about you listen to the original version of this song & evaluate what you just stated there. This is horrific. People have seriously gone fucking insane.

[zajax1]

PORQUE NO ESTA TU AMIGO?

TU DEBES ESTAR MAS CONTENTA....

VAMOS

LA VIDA SIGUE

UN ABRAZO

[sarahmaehooray]

No cover will ever compare to this. Ever.

[mdellgruen]

love the way you sing

[Electr0freaak]

thumbs up if u listen it in 2011 !

[xKenshinHimura]

I feel that she shouldn't have swaped the genders in this song, you just don't do that to a great song such as this.

Just ask Jack White when he sang "Joleen"

[astralacuity]

@xKenshinHimura hehe dont think it really matters... :\

[JimKerast]

@xKenshinHimura you do whatever you want when you've got talent... 

[phishinsky]

Yeah, meltingly great voice!

[mako1ism]

I can't relate to your music, but its original so good for you

[keverc]

man that voice is amazing . she sings with so much soul. i love it

[yourfaceisabird]

i feel inferior -_- im not even gonna try to put up any songs of me singing anymore.........-_-

[ThatOneGirlStar]

@yourfaceisabird I so totally agree.... lolz I so totally suckage compared to her >_<

[Soloquedanpalabras]

@yourfaceisabird Now I'm curious. Where can I hear your singing?

[yourfaceisabird]

@Soloquedanpalabras havent uploaded any songs ^THIS, is partly why. I'll just be another person nobody knows.

[superreverbfreak]

@yourfaceisabird i know how that feels....and it sucks and really hard to shake....ive realized that the reason why i felt that way (maybe different for you just tryin to help cuz like i said i know it sucks) is because i loved wanting to be the best more than loving what i created ....notice i said more and not "rather" because we should as musicians always be lookin to get better.....but when it outweighs the love of music it can start to drift you from your "path" for a lack of better words

[yourfaceisabird]

@superreverbfreak I wholeheartedly agree with you. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "path," but i get the gist of it:]

[sickofsociety]

Love this ! I'm into all types of music but your voice is angelic!

[MrGengisSean]

Voice like velvet... Hot damn.

[MissCanadian2011]

You are such a great singerrr! I love your voice and I love the gender reversal when you sing :)

[Boomboy926]

you have my favorite female singing voice <3

[rachelleandrichard]

cool styles. love ur flavour.

[blacklightsouth]

damn, I LOVE this woman's voice.

Every word she speaks is like an orgasm in my ear drums. :)

[necrobitchful]

What style of music is this?? I've often heard it and it makes me vomit and cry!! It reminds me of a singing chipmunk choking to death on a golfball :'( :'(

[mistermissisable]

wow she´s absolutely great

[GnMCrew]

dan..I fell in love - and it's kinda' ironic. The absolute voice Natalie - Poland says so :)

[joemartz7512]

Every song sounds the same.....please get out of the doldrums.

[Rexicano]

@joemartz7512

And you live in Dallas and like to dress up and play Star Wars?

Talk about doldrums...

You are dull and dumb.

[liljohnkillaz]

Can you guys please do a cover of MUSE and The Arcade Fire??? pleeeeeeeease... I LVOE YOUR COVERS!!! you two are AMAZING!!!

[liveypop19]

SMILE!!!:-)

[spinasweetness]

seagull for the win.

[jerkwithacamera]

@spinasweetness yahhhhhh seagull! :)

[ncc74656m]

Even in black and white (or sepia, I suppose), her eyes are just so piercing.

[McBagginz]

gawd she's good and everything... she just depresses the hell out of me. is that common? or is it just a hipster thing?

[Aquacoon]

Actually sunshine is a metaphor, so you could make a case that there being plenty of sunlight only emphasizes that the song is about depression.

[purelk007]

never not pretty

[thegreatlazydazz]

her voice sounds different in this 1

[kangkim150]

It's not ironic but go on.

[CrackPedlar]

I liked this even before i pressed play..

[hotstuf85]

I love the way she sings! Here voice is incredible, the only thing I don't like is the way she looks in the camera.. kinda creepy..

[moonlightradience]

@hotstuf85 you'll grow to like it:)

[livoniam]

I like to think you're staring at me.

[jazzysnaps]

To all concerned.

I was sent this as a link to me to review I did a review on the merits of a solo performer

Not knowing she was part of a band , I have seen the backing unit videos since,

So a quick review on that , some bands have the gift of having a special original sound as a unit in my view is any recording executive

Who can't see value in signing them up needs to get another job , and I know I am right.

[jazzysnaps]

Yes i was right , you have something unique and original, forget the guitar you are not a busker , you need pros backing you with your own original songs , sorry i have been around to long to be tactful , if you can do this to covers then you need to do your own songs , as i said your talent is hidden with only part exposed, drag the rest out and you have it made, dont listen to idiots do your own thing and heed advice you know is true.

[MichaelHowrie]

@jazzysnaps ...you have heard of pomplamoose right?

[pitfa1]

@jazzysnaps Type in Pomplamoose :) She is part of a duet and they write their own songs ^^ xx

[McHelyum]

You´re so cool lonly or together... it doesn´t metter. I´m a big fan of you.

The `beat it´- cover was almost better than the original one. All songs of pamplamoose an nataly are pretty cool ;D

[AirForceGirl05]

it's better with you AND the guy.

[Robin142008]

some songs dont need a cover -.- 

[jwright0224]

Great cover.

[scooby272]

youtube -> yves paquet - ain't no sunshine

[TheSuperloveable]

I thought this was BB King ...oops

[ScreenLa]

So I like listening to different covers of songs done by different people, but some how I always end up back at you...with the mouse poised over the repeat button.. :)

[Eragos93]

beautiful voice. nough said.

[scubaslawncare]

singing the same note looking like a washed up crack whore is not talent!!!!

[LilBuzzard76]

@scubaslawncare pole smoker

[scubaslawncare]

@LilBuzzard76 not what your mom says.....

[LilBuzzard76]

@scubaslawncare na, she said you dangle for dangle pop

[scubaslawncare]

@LilBuzzard76 dangle for dangle pop...What are you in third grade? LMFAO!

[kellysharpe1968]

@scubaslawncare

You probably shouldn't judge. The only thing you're linked to is a cute-ish chick belting out Alphaville. The cover is okay. You should check out Pomplamoose's cover or "Dont wanna miss a thing" and "Mrs. Robinson". As far as "looking like a washed up crack whore", well, you know Nataly is pretty adorable. Jealousy is an ugly thing. Shame on you...

[scubaslawncare]

@kellysharpe1968 shouldn't judge??? what do you think comments are for, and vote up and down, and like or dislike? In my opinion, she isn't anything special in the singing department that's for sure.

[anonymouspapillon]

@scubaslawncare That's kind of harsh. Ever heard of constructive criticism? Well, I don't expect much from people like you.

[metalklock]

very few singers can get this close to the magic that is the voice of bill withers. very good cover

[SuperMegaPeanut]

If I ever meet you in real life I'm gonna kiss you until you can't feel your face anymore

[OnYourMonkey]

now i have to look for nefif's comment. >__>

[DogmamgoD]

I think 100 people just didn't like the sun shining that day...

[LunarMovements]

Disregard the naysayers. This is an awesome cover. You rock Nataly!

[LotusTyger]

Apparently... She knows.

[ladyconan]

Fantastic cover !!!! 

[archroughdog1]

I love this interpretation of a great song! This girls knows the blues!

[enesmalik96]

Please stop playing the guitar you suck but great voice

[dadams62773]

I love of her facial expressions...

[Bamaboompa]

I'm a big Pomplamoose fan - even though I'm too old to be.

But this doesn't do justice to either Bill Withers OR Nataly.

It just sounds like another one of the million mediocre covers on youtube.

Sorry Nataly, but you're better than that.

[TerrojaRoyalty]

@Bamaboompa Bytch you crazy lol she sounds like an angel. Perfect.

[ItsHayat]

@Bamaboompa She sounds so so perfect. How dare you?

[Bamaboompa]

@ItsHayat - I think she's great - but I wouldn't go as far as perfect. IMO, the pomplamoose music I've heard is either fun songs (the commercial that hooked me) or very cool and detached. This seems to be the later, and it sounds like one of the millions of people with SUBSTANTIALLY less talent that put something like this on youtube.

I'm not knocking her, but it's nowhere near the artistry of the original.

Just my opinion.

[endospire]

I hardly ever comment on videos, but this is just too awesome. I love the song, I love the arrangement, I absolutely love the voice. Thank You!

[MrJeanleno]

I simply love all your videos!!!

[koeklimas]

It would be hotter if she would say "she" instead of "he" :P.

[DogmeUK]

@koeklimas Just thinking the same thing :D

[shugapie513]

one of my favorite songs nataly. you did a beautiful job, per usual!

[Deazify]

well one thing is for sure Nataly, you have a beautiful voice and it's a good thing you didn't put it to waste

[funx24X7]

Will you marry me?

[sorrowedpoet]

@funx24X7 She cant, shes already married to me!

[NahNahNee27]

This is probably the best thing I've ever laid ears on!

[brusterj881]

do you have any stalkers yet because i would like to volunteer

[MrJeanleno]

you are just to beautiful to sing! I cant pay attention in song! =)

[brennalarosa]

What a voice...

[froidalo]

I know you know now shut up.

just kidding x

[edgarassimanauskas95]

Well, maybe Jack is the reason why there was so much sunshine that day.. (n)_(n)

[catch262]

Everthing is ironic, we just dont always know why. Very soulful :)

[dcastilha]

If Jack doesn't mind i'll pretend you're sing to me. Ha Ha.

[jazzermusic]

@krikarica jealous much?

[lukyu75110]

So much soul

[Madnezz344]

Your music is sunshine to my delight :)

[GENIUS4ALL]

@nickrandolph247

Ich habe keine Ahnung was du meinst. Ein ganzer Satz wäre gut.

[14PIPS]

@MrDave4ever It's a cover dumbass --' And she sings preety good. Shut your stupid ass up, please.

[GENIUS4ALL]

ich glaube ich habe mich verliebt....

[nickrandolph242]

@GENIUS4ALL ja dich

[1stingfan]

I think I'm in love.

[citydefender1235]

Nataly, I generally love your music, but this just doesn't work for me at all. I hate to say it, but I think you ruined the song. MOAR SOUL!

[axeman690]

Great cover, very melodic and great arrangment, muffed up once hey but who cares you killed it. Good Job.

[doubledouble29]

i could listen to you music all night........

[tootsielover]

I love you Nataly Dawn...please don't tell my fiancee'...sometimes I think she tolerates me more than she understands me................I see you...this one reminds me of a very, very dark time with a light far away at the other end of the tunnel. thank you Nataly, you are soooooooooooooo beautiful to listen to (and look at also)

[maimaimai94]

I LOVE THIS <3333

[nabooru3000]

You sound like you're yawning in some parts.

[KerryGrl]

This is putrid. Just awful.

[lexiconlover]

It's hard to cover songs which originally had soul/swagger...the feel of it MAKES the song. If there "aint no sunshine" then it should sound like there aint no sunshine. You don't, you sound cheerful.

[madileighluvy]

you have quite the exceptional voice.

:) i could fall asleep listening to your sing.

reminds me a bit of Feist.

[Gemma121719]

you have an amazing voice + you can play an instrument kudos to you!

[jackiescraper]

this is hauntingly beautiful.

[dubstep103]

omg i love ur voice and the song. and ur gorgeous!!! :)

[irishmikelley]

her room looks like its from the movie 'inception'... awesome!

[MihalyEduardo]

OMG I just had today that crazy idea, build radiators near ceilings, to spare room, but yeah... I love your voice!

And your radiator.

[davidarchuletafan543]

I adore your voice!! :)

[CUTTIEBABExoxoxo]

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, aint no sunshine when he's gone

[TheTangyMangoInc]

@CillBinton Yes, yes I am

[CillBinton]

wonderful voice, just don't like the cover.

[timthehippie]

@CillBinton I wholly agree with U, I love her voice, this song sadly does not make good use of it!

:o)

[TheTangyMangoInc]

I love your voice. What I wouldn't give to sing like you..

[CillBinton]

@TheTangyMangoInc I hope u're a girl :p

[HardyCrunk]

Hahaha. Its crazy how much I can relate to this song. Love your beautiful voice Nataly!

[RobertFranklin100]

What squirrel? lol, I was too busy listening. :)

[kawiikuchan]

i love how bluez-y your voice sounds

[ELTURBOMAN]

At 0:06 it looks like one eye is bigger than the other...freaky.

[OHmanTHATSme903]

beautiful! just beautiful! :)

[stanb17]

Is that a Seagull?

[sarahcptate]

You can't leave a young thing alone.

[clucaspik]

I don't know.

[SeisanStnc]

Sounds like Feist to me. 

[Amastavo]

Most excellent!

[Pandawesomeness]

Who would dislike this!?

[iYang531]

I know you know, but do you know, that i know that you know?
