Anais Mitchell - Old Fashioned Hat

[charlesmarlowe27]

You are cute!

[Jenchol]

I never thought I would find an artist as good as Ani DiFranco

[carbine125]

I want her to release more stuff!!!

[laverock1953]

no..I like The Brightness best too...

[1robotcone3]

@laverock1953 Me likey The Brightness best too......."Song of the Magi" is my fav song on it.

[KRS1LEGEND]

im the only one who likes the brightness over hadestwon?

[drumtilludrop610]

im crying

[StayCold118]

@drumtilludrop610 HAHAHA! What a little girl.

[drumtilludrop610]

@StayCold118 c'mon man this is a beautiful song. im a 19 year old guy that doesnt express emotion easily... this song hit me like a train

[Vita1892]

@StayCold118 I'm not the kind of person who usually cries at movies, books and whatnot, and I can honestly say that no song has EVER made me cry, except this one. Yes, I am a girl, and no, I don't think there's any shame in that.

[StayCold118]

@Vita1892 Your shame = My lulz!

[ROLtheWolf]

I think that this is her best performance of this song. Her body language emotes just as much as her lovely voice.

[nosowisewoman]

@ROLtheWolf

i was just thinking that......

[joelysnowflake]

at 'now I know your figure like my own' all my hairs stand on end.

[PoetryAddict8]

And clearly I remember when I used to scratch my poems on the backs of other lovers with the darkness of my mind

Beautiful

[PoetryAddict8]

This song blows my fucking mind

[alfliberatutti]

Where can i find the complete TAB of this song guys?

[zkafel]

@alfliberatutti It's C, G, and F man. How hard does it look? She's doing a standard Travis-picking style and playing 3 chords. If you're going to play the song, learn it. Tab it yourself.

[alfliberatutti]

@zkafel easy tiger...

[zkafel]

@alfliberatutti Sorry, it's just....people on Youtube tend to just ask for tabs like it's their God given right to have any fucking tab whenever they want it. I mean, if you know how to play guitar, you can easily see any chord she's playing. Even if you can't see it, you can hear it. Good luck anyway

[alfliberatutti]

@zkafel well..you right and wrong at the same times..For example..i play guitar but im not that good...so i cant HEAR a tab...if someone may help me that would be great! If not..well..i dont play the song..Peace out..Music has to be shared man....music is just good energy....spread it!

[RayGroot]

I've attempted to get anyone I know with an interest in music to give the Brightness a play, but a lot of them say her "Whiny voice" is too much to bear for a complete album. I would hereby thank God or whatever fancy being gave me the ability to discover and enjoy this absolutely brilliant artist, who I cant wait to see live.

[TheLittleAnais]

omg she has my name and my besty friends last name :O

[darrelwood]

Not only is Anais amazing...but I just wanna say that her fans are some of the most kind, lovely, and progressive individuals I've encountered while following an artist. Thank you for being such a great group of people- it makes me feel good. :)

[krysant50]

a talented songwriter, a singer who puts hers soul and heart in her art, and they shine like stars

thanks for this share Sue, a beautiful song indeed and great video Seekereye

krys

[mmgunn78]

I saw you in London this year.  You were amazing.

[DIGGERMGR]

Saw Anais last night in front of about 40 people and she asked for any requests and I asked for this song and she played it for me......she is just the best!! Thanks Anais

[snowwhtllama]

i am in love.

[OscillatingEthmoid]

What sets her apart is her creativity. She's artistically brilliant.

[pelefirespark]

Absolutely beautiful

[96marzie]

beautiful song, beautiful voice. Well done!

[KristiNelson]

I feel like I might cry

[Lmotleygirl]

she is amazing!1

[semofolkie]

Wonderful Song, wonderful talent.

[DIGGERMGR]

WHAT A SONG!!!!!!!!!!

[shroompicker23]

Beautiful. Talented lady.

[BigBigBigMountain]

This song is just timeless. Come to Dublin Anais!

[musical023]

Stirring, astonishing when she reaches the "youuu", could listen to her thousands times... (I might be around the 200 by now). The lyrics are unprecedented. <3

[reimy9]

i'm i love with her

[sami6987]

i heard her live in vermont and got a signed cd, her voice is really beautiful live!

[MaddoxHammerman]

I'll second that!

[4120Wade]

Beautiful lyrics, angelic, heartwrenching voice. One of the most moving & romantic songs of recent times. "winter's waiting in the wings and we aren't saying anything....that's all right" "I have loved you for so long...even when I could only do you wrong" "youuuuuuuu...look like a stranger in that old fashioned hat" "that was before I made my home in the marrow of your bones" ".....and then we'll have a honeymoon, and then we'll start to fight"

[Vita1892]

@4120Wade Completely agree. The "back before I made my home in the marrow of your bones" line in particular is one of my favourite lyrics of all time.

[whosjittery]

i am officially obsessed with this woman!!!! she is so amazing and gorgeous and talented. Her voice is hauntingly transcendent.

[VeganTes]

Does anyone know what kinda guitar that is?!

[elizlaural]

I think it's a Alvarez... although it is hard to see the head. By the uncoupled bridge I would guess Alvarez Yairi.

[jonathanbyrd]

It's a Yari. Given to her by Colin Brooks of The Band of Heathens.

[trumanproctor]

This is one of the best love songs I think I have ever heard. I am so incredibly impressed with her skill for writing and playing. It's awesome! Go Anais!

[Lovingmusic1977]

This is one of the prettiest songs I have ever heard and I just cant believe that kind of raw emotion can be conveyed and come out of the mouth of a human being...I identify as a gay man and I have to say.....Im head over heals in love right now with this girl...what a sight and sound!!

[HeaterJD]

Wow. do we need more of this fluid for our ears or what~ i miss that feeling that i had a whole lifetime to live. .

[Jwgrossman11]

What a special song.

[FrankyFontayne]

Welch einen funkelnden Brillianten haben Sie da aus dieser einfachen Cis-Dur-Kadenz hervorgezaubert. Ich kaufte mir gestern Ihre CD und spielte und sang Ihren Song den ganzen Tag. Er bleibt ewig in meinem Repertoire. Herrliche Poesie!

[FrankyFontayne]

Welch einen funkelnden Brillianten haben Sie da aus dieser einfachen C-Dur-Kadenz (hier Cis-Dur) hervorgezaubert! Ich kaufte mir gestern, Frau Mitchell, ihre CD "Brightness" und spielte und sang ihren Song den ganzen Tag. Er wird für immer in meinem Repertoire bleiben. Herrliche Poesie!

[elcabi]

I'm always on the verge of tears after listening to this. Can't wait to see her this August at the Valley Stage.

[elifelgar]

Great song, I can't stop listening to it!

[pinkwatermelon13]

love, love, love anais...just met her in la...couldn't be more beautiful or talented...amazing

[FOUNTAYNE]

This one who don't love your singing don't know nothing about music. I ask maself: "Are you from heaven or where do you come from?

[hamrzlawnlake]

Quirky, freaky, tasty. I love her.

[Gulli3000]

I love this girl
