  • nice song. well played. now, to go check out some jon brion...

  • nice!

  • :)

    

  • A patronus on the camera... I love it... keeps away the youtube trolls

  • that was good

  • I really love your cover of this song especially because you didn't change the "she" to "he", I don't find anything wrong with that but, I find it sounds better if someone just leaves it. It's like they're showing their respect for the song.

  • Where can I get the tabs, please?

  • @didiermv You can get the guitar chords from Ultimate Guitar and then just transpose.

  • Just perfect... ♥

  • you're one of my favorite people in the whole world. end of story.

  • Are you dead to the word? It appears you might be a little dead to the world, orr at least a bit to all of those who have shown a true affection. You make a mess of those who will care without exception as you pile drive through anything that stands in your way or blocks your view. Jon Brion is a lyrical assassin. I wonder if he'll ever come out with a new album.

  • I think I'm in love

  • Jon Brion!

  • perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • Wow, cool! Hey what are the chords? :D

  • i like the mic falling over hahahaha its good to see your down to earth

  • Love this song! And yes, the condenser mic is nice : )

  • I liiiike! How much?!

  • most jon brion covers are pretty bad but i did enjoy this one! kudos

  • Your patronus takes the form of a line? That's not very exciting :( It should take the form of a ukulele!! :)

  • Pleeeaassse may i also have chords?? This sounds amazing!!

  • nice can U give chords please please please

  • the holy ukelele ?

    goes right up there with the holy hand grenade xD

    lol great video amazing cover

  • shes staring into my soul

  • you did the best job out of anyone who i've seen cover this song. and you seem like a very beautiful personality.

  • My favourite of your covers so far.

    Nice one.

  • this song and the way you song made me smile! :D

  • that was a fucking great job. - matty amendola

  • wonderbar!

  • I like how intently you're biting your lip near the end. xD

    Keep up the good work, though!

    Sexy, talented, and clumsy/silly. I like it.

  • "It's a patronus."

  • haha, harry potter joke

    :]

  • Is everyone here listening to the same song i am.

  • this is great.

  • I get that same streak on my macbook isite too. It's lame

  • она качает даже на балалайке

  • ne balalaika a ukulele

  • Woah chica!!!!

    Yousa is a hot one!!!

    You should try to play a song not meant for a stringed instrument, like The Year of The Cat intro.

    In a bikini.

  • sweet pirate shirt + cool song= happy viewer keep it up dude you rock out

  • girl you can playy!

  • Ok, you have a great look, really even and strong tonal quality to your voice, and you strum well. My only criticism with your singing is that you emphasize consonant sounds too much. Draw out the vowel more, and minimize the consonant, using it only to add color and definition to the words you sing.

    You have a lot of potential, seriously. And last but certainly not least, GREAT SONG CHOICE!

  • wow. I liked a lot of things in this video, including, but not limited to, the harry potter references and the "holy" ukulele, the amazing shirt, the song in general, and the really nice microphone!

  • Hey! you do it very well, im serious!! charming plays and voice, congratulations.

  • wow. i just favorited this video, ranked it 5 stars, and now this comment saying how much i appreciated this :D

    i love you!

  • yay, harry potter

  • die stimme lässt mich in den tag hinein träumen...your voice is amazing...and your eyes..!!!

  • why are you so awesome as a human being

  • Molly, you look like you've been losing weight. You look great!

  • please don't thumb down this, because I love sweetafton-i'm just sayin:. doesn't her singing voice kind of not match what you'd expect by looking at her/hearing her speaking voice? I don't know.

  • This is my favourite Jon Brion song. Lovely cover.

  • "it's a patronus" hahaha :D I think it's been about 5 years since I read that book. I feel slightly geeky that I picked up on it...

    you are one of the few original artists who are talented AND interesting. keep it up

  • Haha charming! Congrats

  • LegalllL! HAhah!

  • u rock man! u sing soo good! try out for idol;)

    <3 sahil

  • ROCK ON!

  • i dont think i ever commented this

    but i love it. i like it more than the original

    and i think it just might be my favorite of your covers.

    it sounds amazing!

  • awesome version! do you have the chords?

  • it's cute how you bite your lip when you're concentrating. =)

  • Great job!

  • Chromatic abberation

  • Sounds fantastic. This has little to do with the microphone though. You are wonderful.

  • definate improvement

  • marry me. <3

  • Dejected arrr...

  • your voice is truley amazingggg

  • this is good...BUT...how do you strum so fast??

  • thank you for once again making my life more awesome :) x

  • feel like coming to boise?  i would totally see you at my local library!!!

  • awesome

  • i hope you like girls that come with whole families....haahaa

  • i am going to marry you..

  • Point of interest: Your video has more views here than any video of Jon Brion performing the song.

  • please turn this into an mp3.

    if that's allowed :D

  • love that song !!!

    good cover.

    hot girl

  • Nice playing; nice vocals. Nice look, too. See ya on VH1!

  • wow :) i loved it.

  • Hey, i really like this cover you do of Jon Brion. Could i get the chords for this? What tuning are use using for the uke?

    Allan

  • Beautiful. Absolutely angelic. Take care of that mic~

  • Ukes ARE holy!!!

  • Beautifully sung and played. I'm glad the mic is still okay too!

  • You appear to enjoy yourself as much as we enjoy you.... have fun that's all that matters. I for 1 will keep listening.

  • Wow that mic makes a huge difference! Another awesome song, I fell of the wagon for a few months, but I am catching up. Keep it up you rock!

  • Or me? :')

  • your voice > jon brion's on this song, in my opinion, i would have to say that the new mic made a difference, was it better or worse... i think you know the answer :P

    Keep up the good work

  • "mammas got a brand new condenser microphone"...

    hilarious

  • That's a JON BRION tune. Nic job, Sweet Afton

    ..but watch out for the mic drops. I broke one that way once, right before i really needed i :(

  • I wish I had a mic as fancy as that :(

  • you are damn right it's a fucking patronus.

  • wow you are like...god. i will create a religion based on you, haha. your voice sounded AMAZING. emphasis on the AMAZING if u didnt add it. one more time for old time's sake. AMAZING

  • I lol'd when you knocked the mic over.

    Speaking of the mic, it is an improvement.

  • yes i caught the harry potter reference before you stated "harry potter and the...."

  • will you marry me?

  • Is this not a Rhett Miller tune?

  • Just checked the liner notes on R. Miller disk. My mistake

  • The microphone IS an improvement! Yay! I hadn't watched this last night when Husband was playing MyHope through an external audio device and I was whining, "Make it looouuuder!"

    (So then he played it through Live and Guitar Rig, and then played with making it old-timey, and then... you know what happened after that.)

    The newer videos have a much finer sound quality! I'm so glad!

  • Excellent. Song almost meant for mandolin. Surprising vocals. Great job.

  • Hey you'r GREAT!!!!!! I absolutely love it... if you had a CD out, i would buy it for sure!!! keep up the good work :D love it

  • The new mic sounds great! Uke isn't boomy anymore and your voice is much more full and dynamic, especially on the Tally Hall cover. Large diaphragm condensers are the only way to fly. If you get a chance someday try recording with a tube mic or nice tube preamp. It makes all those wonderful sounds even warmer and sweeter.

    Excellent work on your music and videos, by the way. Ever think of trying a Jellyfish cover?

  • sorry babe ... your version sounds soo much better ....-] <--- its a happy cyclops

  • im in love with this ..<

  • it's a patronus... lol

  • i listen to this over and over again while i'm doing nothing on the computer.

  • me too...

  • AAAAA!  You got the "Dejected ARRRR" shirt! Sweet!

    I really should get one.

  • Yeah, the sound is good. Put some eggboxes on your walls and you'll have a nice cheap home studio :)

  • hahaha!! omygosh.. harry potter's patronus.. so funny. great job!! i keep listening to this doin homework and stuff. closer and closer to an album!

  • i can't stop listening to this. thank you.

  • very nice! this is random, but it'd be sweet if you did a youtube duet w/ julia nunes

  • I believe that I alone am trying to break the 10,000 view mark...I cannot stop listening to this song. It's infectious.

  • Wow, you are really good! Great technique on the uke too :)

  • this is awesome! I love it. and i think the microphone does make your voice clearer. anyway the uke is sweet on this one. good job!

  • nice personality and voice! very cool.

  • You sound awesome!

  • you're simply amazing!!!! i love your playing style and your voice, and the new mik is very good too. just, dont let it fall too many times it might break ;-)

  • quality

  • Are you going to youtube live? It won't be quite as good as it could be if you can't make it.

  • Your music and your humor is a bright spot in my day. You're wonderful.

  • You're absoloutely fantastic.

    This song is brilliant and I keep ending up singing it.

    You're fabulous

  • wow! that is beautiful. i found your songs from a link that someone gave me to your cover of toxic, and then i find this gem of a song by jon brion. love his music. do you do requests? hook, line and sinker.... now that would be so amazing to hear in your style. xxx

  • haha, you know what a patronus is. good job on the harry potter metaphor.

  • Damn girl, you good.

  • Beautiful as always. :D

  • you sound so much like a friend of mine (singing)... ever hear of 'Seela'? out of Austin, TX...

  • Who loves you Molly?

    I love you.

    And maybe one or two of these other 9000+ subscribers, but that's it. The rest are all phonies!

  • i demand an album.

    -puts foot down-

  • Notice we're only 2 numbers off of eachother. IT WAS MEANT TO BE.

    And no, I'm not some crazy stalker <33. Just your average, raving fanboy.

  • I'm sorry, but I have to ask. WILL YOU MARRY ME?

  • me first

  • I asked like months ago, this is like my second offer.

    Funny thing is, I'm not kidding about it being my second.

  • ya, embarrisingly i think this is my second as well.

  • Eh, no biggie. It gives her an ego boost I bet'cha.

  • you got a great voice and you're talented.you got flow.just need to practice.keep up the good work.

  • LMAO your hilarious! i love your music very good

  • I love this song. I give you a hearty dejected "arrrr" in support.

  • You should go on Youtube Live that upcoming event =P btw you got a beautiful voice and I love your playing.

  • lol there was series of events that occurred which resulted in remembering this song... i go on youube a couple days ago, and scour through my subscriptions and my favorite fluke playing pirate girl with utterly perfect timing has sang this song for me! Your unique choice of pieces to cover sustains me!THANKS=)

  • you are a great singer =D

  • You're always laugh out loud funny to me, often when you're not singing a bit. "Harry Potter and the Clinical Flourescent Lighting."

    Thanks for posting your personality OR your acting persona up here! Always get a smile.

    Oh, and I love your singing voice and uke playing. Bonus!

    peace,mike

  • You have lovely hair. Trim it, yes, however never cut it :)

  • yer still too quiet! lovely nonetheless.

  • ummmm....how do i give you my money? you deserve my money.

  • There's a paypal tip jar on her web site.

  • you're good on ukelele. I want to learn it too! :)

  • This was beautiful.

  • Awesome job! Thanks! Keep up the good work :) Love listening to your stuff :)  Great choice on mic too!

  • you're a ukulele wizard WABAM

  • the ukulele sounds amazing on this onnne. =)

  • The mic is fantastic, and I love the songs you pick! Seems like every time you come out with a new cover I go and learn it on the uke myself because I like it so much (: Thank you so much!

  • Molly, you have to be about the most adorable dork on YouTube! I mean that in the best terms possible. :-) Nice uke work too. Harry Potter and the Clinical Fluorescent Lighting indeed. 5 stars!

  • Excellent song choice!

  • A lot of people comment on how beautiful your voice is or how pretty you are. Without denying those two asserts, Id like to add that I like the songs you choose and the way you edit (or rather don't edit) the videos.

  • WooHoo Molly!

  • I've watched the first 14 seconds of this video about 20 times. I'm glad you left that part in. You have a great voice and the new mic just makes you sound better! Thanks for all the great music.

  • wonderful.

  • you're really pretty. And your voice is awesome. Thanks for the video. :)

  • I didn't know your voice had such range!

    You just keep getting better. Immediate 5-stars!

    (And, the new mic is worth keeping.)

  • jon brion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • we should be best friends

    we can play ukes and talk about shortcake all day long

  • A feeble patronus. :P

  • I know. My patronus is a chopstick. LAME.

  • It's not the size of your patronus that counts. It's the the motion of your potion, but if it still bothers you, they have pills now that will make your patronus larger. I saw it on a late night infomercial. :)

  • lol

  • I have to say this is one of my favorites. It's odd, I love every song you do, I really got into JoCo because you covered his stuff. Now with Jon Brion, I started listening and he's fantastic. What I'm trying to say is: Thank you Molly. You're great please keep it up!

  • why is that pirate so sad?

  • Awesome! The new mic definately sounds better. a lot clearer!

    also, do 'the final countdown' by europe. :D

  • FUCK YEAH MOLLY!

  • I didn't hear a real difference on the audio with the new mic.

  • Hey, the fall of the microphone is just like my penis...short, in your drawer(s), and it didn't bre....OUCH, spoke too soon!

  • your a cute girl.

  • And YOU'RE bad at spelling, and you need to go study your homophones.

  • I only pick on spelling errors if the comment is mean ;)

  • not my all time favorite (i'm still in love with myhope), but i really liked it.

    thanks for making another music video :)

  • source for shirt?

  • As long as you keep posting videos, I will continue to procrastinate and put off my homework.

  • I was wondering why your mike doesn't have a cradle or a shield.

  • Because I'm a broke college student?

  • lol Ok because normal I see them packaged together.

  • Wow. I can't help it Molly, I'm a fan. You simply rock the bloody house.

  • one of your best

  • Dejected arrg, for the ladies.
