  • Thanks so much for your support. I just posted a few originals. Hopefully some of you will enjoy them.

  • This seems to be a great thing you are doing. "Who Taught Love To Run" was written by 16 year old Skyler Stewart. It's one of many and one of my favorites.

  • hey dana where is the video response section cause i cant find it and i want to post a video

  • @guitar6896 click the comment box below and when it expands you will see the link post a video response to the right . Bizarre i know haha . Thanks 

  • Hey Dana! Thanks for this forum. This is such a great idea. I have favorited one of your videos before where you tear the TSA employees and the ppl at the airport a new asshole for touching the 6 year old girl and standing by and doing nothing about it.I thought what you said was great.Didnt know you where a musician too, awesome! I got more original songs on my channel, rock n roll genre. Come check em everybody!

  • Here is a song I would like to have heard..Hope you like it.

  • I've been writing songs and making records for many years, but my current band started out doing covers. . . in an admittedly unusual fashion. Sometimes doing a cover can get your toenail in the door, which was what we were hoping. We have a cover of a (relatively) obscure Beatles song called "It's All Too Much" coming out in Nepal in a week or so, but our next recordings will be original songs. Check out my channel for past originals from various projects. Thanks, and loved this video btw.

  • Great idea. Thank You!

  • hello from turkey

  • Hey Dana, thanks for this! I actually found this vid after searching about a question that maybe you can answer. Is it generally considered good etiquette to post original songs as a video response to a popular song, if you think people will like it? Or...how do you get it out there? Besides replying to this! Thanks very much for making this...I wish I had thought of such a good idea!

  • @sroar yes its fine to post to any song , not everyone accepts , but its a good way to get music out ,ummm ( There is no music category for you tubers anymore so use any other category is the most valuable info i can give ) , use pets and animals or sports , not entertainment , you need 10s of thousands of views and 1000s of ratings to get on a page , that's the way it is now , try all the links in my description they all help original artist is a good start too , take care 

  • @BeautifulGirlByDana Thanks a lot, good advice!

  • i like your Sincerity and passion for original music dude! i have subscribed to your network goodluck

  • Thanks again, Dana. You are absolutely right! New school 'corporation school'. I always try and comment on peoples original material. You have inspired me and brightened up my day - because you get! You understand what needs to be done. GOOD OLD FASHIONED LEG WORK...COMMUNICATION AND SUPPORT! Respect, sir.

    Checkout my video response - GOTTA LIVE ON.

  • Excellent information, Dana. A lot of us appreciate what you are trying to do. I am someone who enjoys writing songs for other singers who require original material. Thanks again for the 'heads up'. CdR:)

  • Thank you for the wise words! Hope you enjoy my music :).

  • I have other songs I cannot upload as they are not on my channel but just search my name, Tyler Soreng. Thank you.

  • This is cool what you are trying to do. I posted one of my original songs. Hopefully you like it.

    If there is anything I can do to help get other videos out let me know.

  • sorry if I added my video on anothers post, it just came up that way

  • Dana really pretty yellow guitar. Keep up the good work. FYI I just got cast as one of the leads in a soon to be filmed feature horror film.

    Mike

  • Thanks for helping us songwriters

  • Thank you, Dana for supporting unsigned songwriters and artists - great job! Now I'd like to contribute my songs and would be glad if a lot of you guys would watch and listen. Have fun!

  • Thanks For your comment!

    Im going to post our Delay song video as a reply to this video!

    If you could do anything else to help us that would be sweet! We have that song recorded btw so if you or anyone would like an mp3 version of the recorded video just message me!

    Thanks man,

    Love what your doing here

  • thank you

  • I appreciate you doing this for independent artists trying to get started with YouTube.

  • Hey! i agree with most of this! And its true that it helps to comment on popular videos and don't be a jerk in the comments. Ive been trying to get all my original stuff out there, its just hard, i agree with you.Its almost impossible. But dana, keep up what your doing.

  • is this still ongoing? im sending a video response to you. hope u take time to watch/listen to it. tnx. great day!

  • I don't know how I do this. but you can find my songs on youtube.mel russell.

  • Look at my orginal song (Forever Love) :)

  • hi everyone. i'm shane and my wife is cheryl. she's a poet and a lyricist. we've started combining her words with my music. "Empty Pearls" below is one of our combined efforts. we'll be posting more later. if you like what you hear, please visit our channel at Bloodorchidmoon. thank you for your time.

  • this guys accent is sweet. UP michagan?

  • Thanks for all the great help and info Dana ;)

  • This video is 100% spot on correct. People who enter this game with the "what can you do for me" attitude need to pay attention to what Dana is saying. He really enjoys his role of helping others, and is putting a tremendous amount of work into what he is doing. Thanks & Favoriting. :)

  • @mystonicrecords Cheers to that comment bro!!!!

  • Thank you for this. I'm a writer/singer in Canada. I'm so thrilled to be celebrating one year of being a part of the Tube community. It's not just a place to post songs and videos. It's an ongoing conversation. Cheers, Wela'lin, Cathy

  • Thanks for the insight dude, very helpful and appreciated!

  • Dana, thank you for all your good work.

  • finally figured out how to attach a video... you have to put some text in the comments area.

  • @tdal007 i still haven,t worked it out lol

  • Very cool, thanks for helping us all out

  • Very cool, thanks for helping us all out

  • Hey, Dana...I'm stopping by. I posted a video today...I hope you're having a great evening. :)

    Janet

  • Wow what happened to the video responses ?

  • @ericjon652004 you tubes new format , sign out and sign back in to switch it back from the beta , its going to be a headache when they go mainstream with it ,

  • @BeautifulGirlByDana I hope the changes are good ones.

  • HEY WE'RE ALL BAD HA HA

  • Oh also, let me refer you to mystonic records. (You can find it if you search for it on youtube.) They're doing a monthly original music contest that is really a great idea and help to the original artist community. Maybe you can help refer people! :)

  • @birkuscircus 2 comments from you so 2 reply's here, but your in-box will only show one , i already have a permanent link to mystonic records on my main page , also the video playing on my page is 26 artist and its 1 1/2 hrs long , all i do on this site is help people and try to teach them how to get ahead , this video here tells you lots , i also have several videos about you tube and 7 full length videos of around 25 artist each , best wishes

  • This is interesting.  You kept mentioning "youtube's new format." What is this new format? Oh and thanks for checking out my videos. :)

  • @birkuscircus um you tube was sold to goggle who developed software to help China's censor decent ,its a very restrictive form of big brother, it has many facets.if you leave the same or similar comment on 3 videos it sets of a spam filter,but you can not see it unless you sign out and go back to the videos,your comments are marked spam but from your account it looks fine ,if you give your videos say 100 views from your IP it sets off a spam filter & locks your video at around 300 views ect .

  • Hi Dana i've just posted my latest uload to you i hope you like it..Thanks for all your support..

  • @nidgetucker yup i,mm way behind , thanks for posting and being a solid friend !!

  • where are all the attached videos?

  • robertantonnyc

  • are you sure about that? I don't see any. look at the video page. Youtube has changed. I'm not sure they are showing the responses any more.

  • Thanks for the support. we all certainly need a voice and need to support one another. Hope you enjoy

  • ZotMalakhov its a fulll time job just trying to make a difference , thanks

  • If a video is used as a 'Video Response' is it true that it cannot be used as a video response unless it is removed from the first Video?

  • @tomvband thats right , you can only respond toone video at a time

  • Interesting concept, there. I don't know what kind of impact it will have, but you've impacted me with your love for original, unsigned, artists and the major effort you're putting forth to help us. May God bless you for that! Thank you!! 5*

  • @DougClare thanks Doug , i don,t have a answer but i,m trying to help every-way i can , its a full time effort, God Bless

  • @robertantonnyc the more people trying to help org artist the better is the point of this video , good luck

  • Thanks man. Are you also familiar with ModernOracles Original Music Database?

  • Been a thankful fan of yours for a long time now. Wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation again for all your hard work and support of us original artists! ~Raz

  • I am not sure to understand everything but it looks like a nice idea!

  • @mattimat2000 thanks , basically i,m saying we have to support each other .

  • What a wonderful site, BeautifulGirlByDana....it's very kind of you to help folks after you've become a partner...not many people do that. :) I'll have to check out some of your other vids too.

    Nidge Tucker came me the address of this channel....thanks Nidge. :)

    Janet

  • onewomanandsomesongs well thats a great comment , i,m on your site right now , sounds really good , its true that most partners can not see helping people is what this massive you tube is all about ,it took me awhile to realize doing something nice for someone has more rewards than i could possibly write in a day , best wishes

  • Great encouragement to all unknown artists, and nice to hear someone genuinely talking about community. Thanks for your comments.

  • Thanks Dana for hosting this channel. Killer Idea.

    I've already checked out and enjoyed tons of original music that I otherwise never would have found if it weren't for this channel.

    Awesome bro!!!

  • Thank you for coming by, first one, on my channel and leaving such a lovely comment on a German/inEnglish lullaby song, i thought would probably not get comments... :)

    You are right about 'community' that is the nice thing about youtube, new format or not. it is a global community. PS I leave a lot of lovely comments when I 'surf', and never bad ones... if I don't like something, I just pass that and go to another video. Leaving a comment truly means I like a video a lot. :) T.L.

  • OldAndNewSongs Thank you ! you have a great voice , very very nice tone - Take care k - Hugs

  • Thank you very much. I also posted an original video. Its called still. I look forward to hearing other artists, and being in this awesome music community.

  • SethBalestrieri Thank you ! and i am amazed at the support people are showing me , 145 video responses is way beyond anything i imagined , i,m very humbled

  • I think this was a brilliant idea :)

  • KyleBrauseMusic - hey thanks for that , i see the response , and i,m slowly catching up , but i have doctors appointments everyday this week so excuse me for being so slow , i,m still behind in everything for a bit ,peace

  • Thanks Dana for your support of original music,

    Billy

  • BillyTaylorOriginals it was a decision that was written in stone , it gives me nothing but satisfaction constantly . Thank you

  • Comment removed

  • Dana, I had no idea who you were, just another artist on Youtube...I was wrong!! You were my first Sub. Then all a sudden I began to get all these plays and comments coming in.....I thank YOU for that. After watching your video about what you do for all of us new artists...I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! If nothing ever comes out of my writing songs. I feel I made some great friends along my journey...your'e #1 in my book brother...thanks for the help and guidance!! God bless!!

  • 146Johnny you have a great collection of friends , all top notch people , thanks you for those works , its always appreciated to hear and see .

  • Hi Dana, since we're friends do you have access to my vids? Do I still have to post ? Sorry puters are not my forte

    Thanks Charlie

  • ottoottodog hey :O)  people can find you through the comment same as me , if you decide to post a video under this, its strait forward and makes it easier for others to check them out , best wishes

  • Thank you BeautifulGirlByDana - this is such a wonderful idea xx GenGen

  • GenevaLane Thanks ! - i see your posted too , that always makes my day :O)

  • Well this is something different so i shall add my bit too and thank you in advance

  • utubeghandiman Thank you !!!

  • I love this idea. It's great when artists can support one another instead of compete with one another! ☮

  • SteveRussellTV Hi Steve - i,m slowly catching up to everyone , i wasn,t expecting such a great response to this video , i already posted one video a hour and a half long from people who posted videos , and i still have so many thanks to pass out its a fun full time job now . :O)

  • i totally agree :)

  • This is really cool thanks!

  • jermor1 thank you ,n i,m way behind so sorry about that .

  • This is such a great thing that you're doing. It's really cool!

  • ochoa830 thank you for that :O)

  • Good work Dana!

  • pauldpru thanks Paul

  • This a great idea. Is it okay to put original instrumentals?

  • Mellomel you bet , its a good way to meet people too , thanks

  • well i would give it a shot....but im not trying to get my name out.

    Im a multitasker i dont even call myself a musician lol more of an all around artist.

    Just for fun, no desire to "get my name out"

    sounds interesting though ill check out some of the people

  • showdownrocks its all good , i post the first 2 hr video of these with 31 artist a week ago , peace

  • IAwesome concept of what this community could be BeautifulGirlByDana.

    I posted some video responses guys. Check them out and please tell me what you think of my latest songs. This last batch has video of the piano playing so check that out and tell me if the sound is okay. All comments are appreciated.

  • anonElectroDancer sorry i,m so far behind , i,ll get there k

  • this is so great of you Dana...i stumbled upon this through watching an original that was posted here and saw that is was a response to this channel....you really are the best....slow, but the best....:))))

  • guitarrx3girl hahaha Thanks Brat :O))

  • Thanks for doing this! I have a few videos of original songs uploaded.

  • MariahVerHoef hey thanks, i,ll get there soon . its been a hectic few days trying to render a new 2 hr video , i,m finally uploading in a few min , its a ,massive file ,lol, peace

  • You have some pretty inspiring words to say. You said in this video many of the things that I'm thinking and you have my greatest respect for doing this. It takes guts to go out there and show people what you're doing. And you're totally right: Even if you think you suck (pardon me) you really should talk to people. You can support others and they can support you. That's what we really should do as a community.

    Props to you for what you're doing! 5* for this video.

  • Strider1488 - great comment , thanks , it will take a day for me to get back up to speed .

  • I thought YT had changed and I had only been an active viewer under another user name, then hadn't been back on until just recently. Since it has been on my list to do something with all of my original work whether it be poetry recorded or not or original photo's! So this is good. I have to learn more about the stars and rating others...Thanks!

  • I think this is a good idea, but I dont see how we benefit from it besides the first 4 responses because they are first ones that show up? Anyone care to tell me how this is beneficial, im a bit lost?

  • TeigeB sure , what i do originally is make movies of artist with around 30 singers , and they support each other , the videos you see posted are people who watched my video and posted a reply because they are willing to support others and are trying to connect with people , this is the only way for a lot of people to get support or views , the idea is come here and find people that have already made a commitment to help each other , but you have to go support them too for it to work .

  • Nice and thoughtful idea..Hello to you fellow musicians out there!;-)

  • musicmaestropleasify thank you :O)

  • you left me a comment, and i found you. :D

  • whocarezatall haha that's a great comment ! :O)

  • Great video, wise words.

  • @Rutle hey thank you and i see you posted videos , i,m so far behind it will take a day or so to catch up lol  that's what holidays do sometimes , but its a lot of fun too .

  • Thanks yeah it's a great thing your doing. happy holidays.

  • Great video man. I've been very lucky since I've been on youtube in that I've found myself becoming part of a great community of brilliant people and met some amazing artists along the way, some who I consider to be good friends now too. What your doing is brilliant so I left a video response, the music is mine and the video was kindly made by one of those friends I mentioned. Hope that's ok. =)

  • @loopyone73 thanks i will get there soon :O)

  • Dude, you should be having a hundred million views and responses man. Haha.

  • HI - please check out my channel. I have uploaded my original songs but also I have a community of songwriters too who support each other and I feature original songs from others in my community.

  • my stuff isnt good enough to be considered a artist really i just screw around really peace and chicken grease!

  • zoom1234567 everybody starts at the same level in music , even all these years later i still can not sing a note , it doesn,t slow me down at all , peace out

  • This is great what you are doing. I have a great deal of respect for that.

  • psychotic33089 thank you , i,ll catch up in a bit to your videos , its a busy busy day lol

  • The best thing about youtube is the community of musicians out there who support each other's talent. Thanks for this. Now I've got a lot of new videos to watch.

  • TheMourningKitchen great comment , i,ll get by your site in a bit .

  • Hey Dana - cheers for taking the time to do this!

  • Thanks Mark !!

  • Dana, you ROCK! We all must thank you from the bottom of our hearts! I couldn't agree more with everything you said... especially about supporting eachother and banding together... I wish you all the best and look forward to keeping in touch over cyber-space... big hug... :-)

  • amyweideman Hugs are good !! :O)

    We can all together make a big difference , this is the only way forward ,the responses are imbrication's , really fulfilling and very humbling - Hugs

  • This video is great! I really appreciate everything you're doing to help all of us new artists who are lost! I've favorited it and sent it out to all of my 5 subscribers. Everybody should help spread the word!

  • great video!!!!!

  • Tora8MoonyCinema haha you beat me to it !!

  • this is a great idea! thanks for doing this "public service" so to speak.

  • I really appreciate what you are doing. I feel very discouraged and frustrated at times because I don't really know how to get things going. I also love the idea of community and meeting people that understand what we are doing and why and see the value in it.  I'm new to this and I don't even really understand Youtube that well yet. I'm glad you found me. Thank you. I'm excited to see what comes of this.

  • jatrichojas hey you bet ,, i have got some great reply's on here so i,m looking forward to chopping and splicing , i think this will be a great one for sure , when i hit 90 video responses i,m going to produce a 2 hr music video , thanks
