[SARANDALBANIA]

stupid!

[IngyEnglishman]

Your safer in America these days luv.

Forced mass immigration has turned England into a foreign dangerous land....

only come here if your coming to save the English please.

[MrMoOoby]

what the fuck!! lets run away to you bed

[Dannysubliminal]

yeah nice song, at first I was like wtf, but being english it is actually a very nice song. Reminds me of a rainy day, but a nice one.

[milkfunsbro]

You will get a Gig at this place..

The Slaughtered Lamb..

Its 30 mile's from Rigby Common.

Stick to the road and stay off the Moore's.

Evil Things lurk in the Shrubberies...

[CrayolaCoffeeCo]

I really love your songs, and this is one of my favorites. Could you maybe upload some instrumental versions so I can sing them in a few videos?

That would be awesomeeee ○

Keep up the good work.

[HelloYoungPadawan]

This is beautifullllllll.

[boathopper]

calgon take me away

[lemondirgopie]

Isn't that from a Clem Snide song?

[jonnylag]

I sing song from a hat. But I am not a twat. It aint easy to come up witth rhymes. I am a woman of the times. I play very many chords-on my guitar. G-D and C- But this aint no sitar. I make them up as i go along. But it dont take very long!!! G'nite,Godbless. I love you all!!!!!! peace and love jonnylag

[truebot]

Fantastic. Keep it up. SFAH brilliant.

[rhodezy92]

[lambtonesq]

well you must have been in England awhile now, what's going on? like your song.

[jakrueg2pbg]

Beautiful Job!

[zBloodD3monz]

No, don't come to England. We already have too many people in this country.

[kateeers]

aw it's so lovely!

[sophiekit]

i love this one...!

[stoich1021]

[Bitnd12]

"Crazy Botanist Paints McKayla's Brown House Green"

[esson89]

this is my favorite so far, koodos!!<3

[j0ames]

Come to London please =)

[Shanni120]

I'm very jealous. I wish I was running away to England again.

The guitar was beautiful, I'm impressed.

[Indrina]

This was a very good one. You are an excellent guitarist, and although you're not an amazing singer, I like the rawness of your singing more anyways.

[rees89]

I actually agree entirely. The rawness especially shows emotion though in my opinion.

[fourpargolf]

This is the best song out of the many she has done.

[darksideofdarkness]

Wow, a poor feedback really. It comes from someone who has "Prima J Rockstar" among the favorites ("with lyrics", a detail I want to stress)...

Well, I think that it shouldn't be taken seriously...

[gusslover]

thats what you think, but she can express herself. i bet you cant do any better. i bet you have no talent.

[JuicyOrange]

I love the way your voice sounds in this one Abby. So wistful and scratchy :) I want to download this one.

[nicollec]

lets switch, you come here ill go cali :P

[wingsonwater]

That was pretty. Very wistful, like looking out a rainy cafe window.

[Flanclanman]

That was exactly the imagery I got!

[wingsonwater]

Awesome! :D

[sanne4leafclover]

I really love this song. I'm writing a crappy essay right now (and I only have 2 hours left to finish it) and this song is the only thing that's keeping me sane :)

[jbrowsingj]

"mommy's a racist"

[the5regularguys]

Abby, I tell everyone I know about your songs (typically because I hum or sing them to myself in public constantly) because I think everyone should know the awesomeness that is you and "Songs from a Hat".

Also, I love that punishment idea. Can't wait to see it.

[k8iBell]

"Just Floating Around"

[arisansan]

the song is not bad for the topic, and at some parts the vocals are fairly solid, but at other parts it's like she's reaching, and just barely making it. basically, not the best voice, but nice song-writing ability.

[darksideofdarkness]

arisansan you got -5 just to express your opinion... I cannot understand the intolerance, and unfortunately you will see that very often arourd here. They cannot understand that it is possible to enjoy Abby's work and provide a positive feedback and the same time. We would like to see Abby growing as an artist... She has an incredible talent in song-writing but she has room for improvement about her performance skills.

[arisansan]

I agree with you, and I guess it's a testimony to how loyal her fans are that they would rate me negatively for offering feedback. Her vocals are not the best, but I wish I could write songs the way she does, and I admire her commitment. I don't know how I would stand up to writing even one song from a hat. Her voice is raw and untrained, sometimes good, and to me, sometimes unlistenable.

[AHLfromSWEDEN]

"gonna miss you when you die"

[benthomasherr]

You need to be in Greenwich village girly.

You are talented and very unique...

Your definately Saturday night live material.

Keep rockin' girl !

If I Was a Piece of Paper

[PopePeterII]

Darksideofdarkness needs a month to write a new song? We don't understand. Cannot comprehend such uncreativity. Childhood traums obvious. We cry.

[darksideofdarkness]

hahahahah... this what my psychologist told me...

Hey by the way, good nickname! Probably stolen from Left Behind series, right? Are you the leader of Enigma Babylon One World Faith?? (because, to be hontest, you don't look like an antipope... hahahahaha)

[PopePeterII]

I approve. This woman is a Saint.

[PaleAndNerdy]

I'm a new subscriber! I think your stuff is made of awesome.

"Betty Gets A Haircut"

[darksideofdarkness]

This channel used to be cool some time ago, with some interesting comments, but now it became an infinit list of dumb song titles with an empty content. Don't you realize that she picks the song title from her needs?? None of what you write will be kept into account... Abby is super awesome if we considered her an amateur with a guitar, she wrote great songs I really like! But I'm afraid she doesn't have what is need to be "the conqueror of the world", she is not the star it seems to be...Sorry!

[songsfromahat]

I find that the best comments/critiques/discussion in general come in the first hundred comments on the video. After that you do get mainly song title, but I don't see why that would bother anyone. I always write the first song I pull out of the hat and I put all the songs in the hat, it's a fair process.

[sukrat69]

It's ok, I had no proof that the selection of the song title is fake. Sorry. It is just quite curious that the in that infinit randomness the song is "run away to England" when you are going there. Hmmm.

[darksideofdarkness]

Yes, I agree on this, that's what I meant

[songsfromahat]

who said I was trying to conquer the world?

[darksideofdarkness]

Nobody said that. Maybe in the process to get one million page views, hundred subscribers and all the other youtube stuff you experienced a big change in your attitude. Now everytime I see you talking you seem to be saying that. I miss "Snow Day", "Life of a Sidekick" times... It was a more fresh version of yourself. Anyway I still enjoy some of your songs. Keep up your great work, but please, try not to be confused.

[songsfromahat]

Im not confused, just honest.

First and foremost I love writing the songs. It's an incredible challenge, and I love it.

But I'd be lying if I said it wasnt great getting new subscribers, comments (not song titles), views etc. Theres a stigma on youtube against wanting those things. Everyone whos even a bit popular here wants that, theres just a competition for who can make it seem like they DONT. Its a farce.

I was honest and said I wanted more video views, rather than trying to coerce them.

[darksideofdarkness]

hahaha... smart girl! I like your style besides your hyping

[songsfromahat]

oh and just to be clear, Im not upset with you at all. I really enjoy this kind of feedback. Seriously :)

[darksideofdarkness]

Well my idea was not to have you upset. You were completely honest as actually I was first! You took my feedback and give me an excellent explanation... Better impossible.

[songsfromahat]

Oh one more thing, haha.

I'm sorry if you didn't like my rhetoric, but musically speaking, "Let's Run Away to England" has been my personal favorite in weeks.

[darksideofdarkness]

I'm also a songwriter and producer and let me tell you that sometimes one cannot understand why people like a song and don't like others you don't see anything special... I don't know how many weeks you're talking about, but your last inspirational phase is the duo My Scientist-Mr. Invisible, well if I was 65 already is also a good one... Anyway, I admire how prolific you are. I need at least a month to "unglue" to write a new song, and your songs could be better or worse but quite different!
