Nellie McKay's Project Song at NPR

[1104zion]

Such a cerebral artist. Like the Sherlock Holmes of musicians.

[MichaelBunnington]

....so so good

[paulquinn10]

What a Guffy Broad and full of herself at that! Good example of how school can sometimes confuse you or dumb you up a bit.

[NTravitz]

I love the story telling aspect she integrates the aspect of story telling into her music. Reminds of how Donovan used to monologue during his songs or for that matter, the ink spots.

[flugtager]

Shit I think she's smarter than me.

[AnnDriscoll]

"i wonder if this next part we should try the wah wah" -- (3:28).

[SpaceCoward]

I like this song :)

[ANewNormalcy]

Uh, shoulda had a live drummer in the studio.

You know, more soul...

[ANewNormalcy]

Great camera work...

great editing/technical direction.

[thechaser1985]

I could just ....ah.... she's amazing.

[Ferrarie100]

she woulda been done in an hour if she smoke some weed

[usmc1088]

I'm in love with Nellie McKay!

[CoeyCoey]

I watch this about once a month and each time I am still amazed at how she could create such a beautiful song in such a short time. This song has more substance than all of the popular music today. A movie could easily be made about the stories in this song.

[janarosem]

She needed to be under a tree instead of in a studio. Then she woulda came up with her usual magic I bet. :)

[griffenb]

I like hearing her talk and watching her work...but that song friggin blows. It's totally tuneless and wandering

[Anonyfication]

Wow, is it weird that I was extremely moved by this? I just felt Nellie's selflessness pouring out. I wanted to cry, actually! LOL! She reminds me so much of my friend Jill who, oddly, lives in New York and looks almost exactly like her.

Is it weird that Nellie reminds me of Lady Gaga? Lady Gaga, however, acts classless and exaggerates her attention-crazed personality to the extreme. Nellie, however, maintains her class and her personality is rather endearing, relaxing, and refreshing.

[gaoyusi85]

love her accent.

[jsingh2700]

Hold on hold on hold on!!!! is nellie nckay wearing an amma tour braclette?

[cameroooon89]

this just seems to drain everyone who does it. except chris walla. he's apparently an incurable optimist.

[RooseveltSteinway]

She's brilliant... this vid is humming.

[markmill3r]

The first time I heard Nellie, I was hooked on her music. I still am. But, now, you know what? I'm just so rooting for her happiness. Let's see what she produces then. Love you, girl. Please take care of yourself!

[MattDeckard]

she's drunk

[rockpee143]

Now this is talent. Really enjoyed this. Clever and Sweetly iconic

[marconjcp]

She sees the world through rose-tinted glasses

[MrPapamoon]

nellie your amazing

[toxic996]

shes kinda strange xD

[BigmamaBri2]

Love her. I love that she is a weirdo and takes pride in that. To each their own and I think she is totally wonderful!

[FatBoySlim696]

The starting at 13:00 was the only one I cared for.

[skatewad1]

it seems like she takes pride in being as boring as possible but to each their own

[munchiekins222]

uhm ... is she high?

[skatewad1]

@munchiekins222 very.

[munchiekins222]

@skatewad1 thought so lol.

[yakkahDotCom]

I love watching this kind of videos

[diakonos1987]

I Want Revenge! bit . ly/jerku

[Mariusz0Industries]

This chick is incredibly annoying in the "EVERYBODY LOOK AT HOW ECCENTRIC I AM" narcissistic vibe. God forbid she should actually go somewhere at not force everyone to make her the center of attention.

[jessicuzzi08]

Cool

[TheXxXss]

[TMAX10001]

[VarsityBlack]

[amartiniuc]

Oidzhgvxdoo

[TheShymom]

I don't care for the final product.

[lucasvigier]

thats the kind of woman i want to get married with

[littlelee15]

bit . ly/jerku

[septip123]

Ah, there's nothign duller than watching someone else create.

[rui04]

Wow she is very creative!

what can I create for two or three days... umm... sad I don't create anything lol

[yakkahDotCom]

thumbs up for this video

[JackHorner69]

if I heard this while walking by on the street, I think I might be compelled to find my way in, onto the stage... just to tell her.. I love you.

[CaptainQueue]

Completely mesmerizing. Genius.

[1993melymely]

what is npr? she seems to know a lot about music and what seems to be missing whants and needs.

[naistinali]

i love the way she is.. so similar to the most lovely person i know..

[MsGirrbach]

I think she looks just like Mira Sorvino in the brown shirt section interview. I LOVE her and to watch this process is fascinating.

[Ezhuks]

I have to say, she looks and sounds like someone from completely another time. And certainly the look without the glasses suits here more :)

[nevadan2112]

Nellie McKay - The definition of true talent....

[anulay]

She reminds me a bit of Natasha Lyonne. Does anyone else see that?

[aserosiris]

truly one of the most talented song/ writer of our times that sadly is not given the respect she deserves

[rainbowstarfield]

@aserosiris lololol ...... hahahahahaha

[mazameli]

Good grief, I am in love with her.

[PhillyLucky7]

She's being tortured by this project.

[twonnypooh]

Yup, it's love.

[ToiletWeek]

A young blonde Bob Dylan.

[concerto404]

"where's your cynicism, you work at NPR"......lol

[Winonasalibi]

Just goes to show....there is only one rule in songwriting.....

There are no rules in songwriting.

Thanks to NPR and Nellie for such an informative insight.

[Scarlatti2007]

God, this woman is incredible and so cute!

[boboli44]

"It's a MAGICAL place!"

[etchingsdrm]

She WOULD bring a stuffed white tiger into the studio with her. I love her tinkering methods. Makeshift sheet music and such jumps from drums/cello/yukelele. Thunderclaps and the loon! Hehehe.

[bluegreendragon]

Hey, Nellie, like your vest. I got about 20 vests, and a gay friend did the Queer Eye thing, told me vests were not cool and would not be again. I'm hanging onto them, hoping they get cool again. If we go out for drinks sometime, we'll both wear vests. Deal?

[msginca]

Nellie is *Amazing*

[punchingjudy]

I appreciated the moment she took to call her mother to discuss appropriate terminology for avoiding complimenting herself.

[callycampbell]

"Where's your cynicism you work at NPR?"

ha

[hurricanerae]

HAha. I loved that line too. "Where's this hope come from? Where's your cynicism? You work at NPR."

I love Nellie McKay. She's younger than be, but still an idol.

[mufumboel]

@callycampbell hahaha that was great

[id1201396]

amazing talent!

[NymphetamineOrchid]

It's nice to see someone else's process. Makes me feel a little less crazy.  There is always this expectation to be able turn a song out on a dime. It doesn't always work like that.

[KnutFreakKid]

I really hope that she puts this on her next album. I really want to hear it in its entirety.

[mrmarks65]

It's on youtube somewhere. The Cavendish.

[HannetteMittwoch]

Such an old school artist. Sings, plays the piano and cello, works the wawa pedal thing... I'm impressed.

[amygdala3290]

im totaly enamored with her, soo ecentric , talented , existing in another era!

[BenjaminWirtz]

I do think he seems like someone from a decade long ago.

[normanthepig]

WOW! This was SO cool to see. I want to see more and more of these.

[SoftWolfTread]

Nellie is a goddamned genius!

[annasoalive]

I love Nellie!

[coldnnor402]

Amazing talented young lady with such soul, loved it so much...

[JoeD60]

I loved watching the process of creating a song. There is a lot to it. It's almost too grueling to watch but I wanted to hear the end product. Then to see everyone with smiling faces it was worth it.

[MySolidDreams]

Amazing. I wish I had talent . . . haha.

[kingny17]

go for it man. make it happen

[zoey617]

lovely.
