Another great song and sung with such expression. If you did not have such a musical talent you would be a star of the stage, as in your videos your eyes and face convey such emotion and feeling through their direct contact with the viewer. I am sure that I speak for everyone else when I say that it feels as though you are singing it just for us, on a one to one basis. Thankyou and keep on writing, recording and videoing..... in between your studies, of course.
this made me smile holly, sorry i not been about much but you words always touch my heart.
i been poorly but been working on my self confidance and with the help of my friend i am learning to fly again ... and the cocoon i been hiding within is slowly unwrapping but how so true re the words that 'the ugliest words are from guiltiest hearts'.
buddah has some nice quotes but i think that one is the best i seen ... hope you have the most brillant year ahead ... pup
Haven't checked for any new videos by you in a while, and I have to tell you, you look absolutely gorgeous with short hair! Fantastic quality output, too, as usual. Keep up the good work.
A lot of the time hurtful words are said cause someone is in pain
and the best way is to hurt back to relive the pain it dont make it right and a lot of people can be one eyed cause they think someone they care of is hurt..again the thing is its a pain, they have of the issue that they dont even see cause they have already jumped to anger.. we are emotions 24/7..sadly dear Holly most operate from "hear say" not facts we react to our hurt and not facts.. life my love :/
OK, I 've made my mind up about the lyrics of this song. . . I love the line @ 3:00-3:11!!! A beautiful retort to the guilty judgmental so and so with severely restricted mental powers but aspirations to fill the shoes of someone else for the sake of self-centered personal promotion. She must be a total Floozy.
Holly, I am probably one of your earliest subscribers, and I always look forward to listening to something new from you. This will be the first time I have posted a negative comment. I just don't belive that your soft, pretty voice conveys "anger" convincingly. (But your cover of Adele's "Someone Like You" is a return to what you do so well, and I thank you for sending it to my mailbox.)
Luv it, Hol... your inner-Alanis is shining =) Impeccably delivered as always. I like your artsy vids, but don't mind the simplicity of this one at all 'cause your face is so infinitely expressive. "A" for eye contact. I'm also partial to this one 'cause it seems to have more substance (IMHO)... rooted in reality... non-ambiguous lyrics. P.S. You don't look like a brute to me... of course I don't know you that well, but would a brute wear a pretty lace shirt like that... I don't think so.
Hi Holly I liked this on FB and on here, as for the subject matter being based on a true story for the most part in song writing it is. I would say if anything you held it back pretty well and did a great song. Love and hugs hun and I am going to host it.
Yes you are the "sweetest thing on YouTube." That's the problem. You are not taking any risks. The lyrics aren't bad, but if you are really ticked you might want to let some of that energy leak into your voice, if you can lower the control barrier long enough. Hold the world at arms' length and you cannot capture listeners' hearts with your voice, Holly. Best of luck!
Hi alpet07, I do not know you, but WOW, Brilliant, Amazing and Fantastic!!!!! I think you should maybe make an album and put this song on it. Jimmy (((x)))
Back again! This was in my head today. I've decided it's probably one of your most memorable songs and my personal favourite. :) Maybe I'm an angry person. ;)
Just looking at ol' mate's comment above ...... I ain't so high fallutin'. I knows what I likes and I likes what I knows and I can report that I likes this!
You, young lady, just earned yourself a new fan, Downunder.
I gotta go work out how to get a CD ... but I will be!
I stumbled across you via my little brother's page (mlyons72 - Kyhillbilly) page and am I glad I did!
I think you have genuine talent and ability - don't let the buggers control you - keep it real as you are now!!!! :-)
Even an angry Holly looks like she's about to break into a big smile and go tripping through violets.However;I'm not going to judge the emotions of someone I know nothing about.
You had me hanging on every word! And if you ask me, that's the best time to write a song - when you have a cloud of emotion stirring in you ;) Good one!
What a drama ! An apparently weak and maleable young man , a seemingly seductive and deeply manipulative young woman ; anger and disappointment directed at the young man , vitriol and bile at the young woman ! Brilliantly done , Holly -- straight from the heart !
Beautiful song about a hard topic. I try to not judge a book by it's cover, so to speak, and get to know the person. A warm smile and a firm handshake wins people over every time.
Nice song and a pretty voice to go with a pretty girl. You should get mad more often. It spurs you to write great songs! You're never a disappointment.
Awesome! Your ability to turn emotions into heart-felt lyrics never ceases to amaze me. I would also love to hear a version with the backing of only an acoustic guitar. On a personal note, I hope you'll get over the hurting soon.
I'm going to be a dissident voice here, because I think as time goes by your songs are becoming more 'commercial' and slightly more similar to everyone else's. This one seems over-embellished – it's quite difficult to catch some of the words above the loud piano. I preferred the simpler more direct style of 'A Woman You Don't Know', especially for subject matter like this . You no longer seem to trust your ability to write and perform those powerful, plaintive songs, which is a mistake IMO.
Holly Holly Holly !! This is a great, great song you've done here. Without repeating what others have said, let's just say that sometimes the most amazing things can bloom from negative emotions, And, in the end, one can begin the healing. I'm guessing you're well on your way now that you got this out! It's a fantastic piece of work. (( hey holly - plz contact me. I have a song needs doing and needs you to help get it done)))
wonderful my friend. its a joy to hear you named shouted and not for a moment feel that you might be in trouble. because you have done nothing to feel guilty for. yes indeed.
HOLLY WHO EVER THIS PERSON IS SHAME ON YOU!!! BUT I THINK THEIR ACTIONS RESULTED HOLLY CREATING A HIT SONG .I WAS JUST SAYING TO MIKE TODAY YOU HAD NOT POSTED A NEW SONG IN WHILE I KNOW THINGS WILL GET BETTER BECAUSE YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON WHO KNOWS WHERE SHE GOING AND WILL GET THEIR THIS IS JUST BUMP IN ROAD OF LIFE CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE YOU PERFORM LIVE HERE CAPE BRETON SOON TAKE CARE THANKS FOR THE SONG !YOUR CREATIVE GENIUS NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME LOVE LUCK AND LAUGHTER

I been going through this hard time of people judging me and they dony even know me,I really needed to hear this. Thanks for brighting my evening. Your amazing.
Marvelous performance. Your voice seems to be getting better al the time, and you show a bolder approach to the music. I think that that boldness is part of what first caught my attention.
One small thing that bothered me was the sound mix. Just a wee bit too much of the piano to your voice.
Wow what a great song Holly! All the experiences one goes through in life can be difficult to express for most of us, but when the expressions are transformed into song, well that is what makes a great artist. Hope everthing works out best for you, but wow what a great song. 8O)
Your song is true of many people, they hate the fact that you are better and that they can't match you. Their opinions are based on their own grief. I wish that I could put my feelings into a song.
No person should prejudge others or maliciously gossip. Done to a songstress risks the shame being immortalised for ever - LOL, this is a great song btw, so some positive has come from the situation.
Ouch I do hope that the subject matter is not based on a true story. If so please accept the tipping of my hat as acknowledgment of making something so beautiful out of it. If not then accept it for yet another beautiful song.
Very nice Holly, my favorite line "If your feet are as small as your mind it'll take a long time" :) I said something similar in a song called Screw You but you said it far more eloquently :)
Beautiful music!!!
Thank you!
