Songbook Collection!

[shaun127969]

I also write, I'm 21 now and started at 13 and also still have my first songbook. It's amazing to see how different your writing is years later isn't it

[TrueReload14]

You're really beautiful!

[Preangelface06]

Ohh you gotta sing the melody to your first song! ;)

[catrienmaxwell]

@JustV1ck Awww thank you. :) I'm sorry I disappeared. I'll be back.

[meggethann24]

Where have you gone? Are you still making music?

[catrienmaxwell]

@meggethann24 YES!! 

[caithlincooper]

I have a collection of diaries like you have a collection of songbooks! :) Nice video!

[kamarynjelise]

I thought i wrote a lot of songs, but after watching this.... my god. (:

[kkchica97]

this was really interesting to see and i like how smiley you are in this video :) haha

[catrienmaxwell]

@kkchica97 Hahaha thanks!

[aclimited86]

Wow! I really appreciate this video so much! I too write many songs, but they are in folders, on the computer, and notebooks...although I do keep them organized, I can't really put them all together to make a video about my collection. This is a really inspiring video in my opinion, and not boring at all! If you'd like however, I'd like to send a video response of one of my most recent original songs that I have posted. Just let me know. Seriously though, keep up the great work!! :)

[geogreg27]

Nice video. Wish I could consolidate all my songs. They are on a million pieces of paper everywhere.

Please do What are words by Chris Medina! You fit you perfect!

[august22CATS]

sing your first song please! haha

[JackieMessenger]

hey catrien, that was so cute! i'm a songwriter singer too, so i can relate to having a songbook collection. lately i've been using 3 ring binders, with those plastic protector sleeves. then when i print it out, i put them inside the clear sleeve so that it'll stay nice. then i just have regular folder paper in it for when i'm just writing by hand. the good thing about his method, is i can take my favorite songs out and put them in one binder if i want to. thanks4theSmiles girl, jAckie ;)

[justafan96]

OMG i write songs too and my song book is like as thin as your theird one . and when i hear you saying " it's pretty thin " i'm like wow if that is thin then how about the last one ?!!!

[96guitargirl]

OMG HOW MANY SONGS HAVE YOU WRITTEN i wrote over 65 so far.... =D i have 3 or four songboooks omg i love to go back in time and read my old songs some of them ill bee like why did i write them cuz there so stupid... the first song i wrote i was 4 then stopped til age twelve

[amycolalella]

I seriously love this video ! I don't even know why

[thadawerk]

this is very interesting. Basically, my song book collection is stored on my computer. I don't really print them out, because I am always editing and revising the song in an attempt to make them better. Years later, I still may go back and edit a line or word here or there.

[BeluLizzie]

OMG, I thought I was the only girl in the entire world who collected songbooks! (Singer/songwritter as well). AND I have the exact same furry zebra songbook. This is strangely cool and has made my day.

[tuktaphetasa]

aww yay! that's awesome i wish i collected songs i usually just type them up then i end up forgetting about i want to start writing them in a notebook but i just hate my handwriting and always end up tearing pages cuz i want the book to be perfect haha i'm just weird. anyways.. i guess i'll leave a video response of my latest cover.. i'm nowhere near as great as you but i hope you enjoy it just as much <3

[runforit0803]

i posted a video response on my channel for you if you're interested. it's me showing some of my artwork . i loved this video i feel like i know you better!

[celtichost54]

[ranhernan15]

I Have mine from when i was 14 until now they all have pictures, stickers, sketches, even set lists from shows i went to through out my life. i have a photo album for my tickets. currently i am using a moleskin.

[metalmaster29]

LOL. You're hilarious. Among your many talents it seems.

[aner1025]

My favorite song was the disney one. . i miss it.

[Glammmbition]

aww the first one is so cute xD It reminds me of myself.. making up stories and writing them down. So cool to read those now. Haha and it's also cute you wrote all these songs about your boyfriend.

I'll post a video response of my nailpolishstash, I recorded it a few days ago and uploaded it on my other channel. I have no idea if you'd be interested in nailpolish but at least you have a videoresponse hahaha.

[catrienmaxwell]

@Glammmbition Heck yeah!! I love nail polish. I have a little list of all the ones I need to buy, hahaha.

[Alexeyone]

[RebeccaMUSICx]

[linnea1234]

Wow, I collect notebooks too. I have a problem finishing them, though. I might have about 20.. ^^ And I think you should re-upload "Your Possession" because I love that song! :)

[ShaneM686]

is your rough patch song similar to "scotty doesn't know" from eurotrip?

[AboveAverageJoe1]

Soooooo cute was almost painful to watch; loved the true and fake,reminds me of my lil sister. Keep writing and performing. Btw u don't want to see my "stash" \o/.

[xxleannetjeexx]

What's the song you're most proud of?

[Mssinvisible]

[keroshizoo]

What you could do is creating a glossar for each book so you see each and every songname at one glance :)

[catrienmaxwell]

@keroshizoo Hey that's a really good idea!
