[alvaro85gr]

[cuckoo5uk]

Got your album on iTunes on the strength of this track :)

[cuckoo5uk]

Love the cover, would like to see more Dar covers, you're good :)

[ajok4sho]

this girl is better than dar williams...much better indeed.

[leingod24]

Five stars for NPR!! =D haha. Love this cover girl, keep it up!! WOOT!!

[DJP49]

5 *s

[wsebastion]

she has a lot of other albums too, that may be even better then that

[TouchOfGreatness]

Leesha, very nice. I would love to hear this in studio quality, and of course, other Dar tunes would be great. But in any case, nice job! Lovely!

[canvasofdreams75]

I wish you would cover "Iowa" by her

[canvasofdreams75]

i found it ,,,, your still amazing!!!!!!! Can you clone yourself I need a good wifey lol

[Alfalfa6913]

I am obsessed with this song so I was like - Oh no! Cover! I should not watch this! But it is really amazing! You are so talented!

[maitanecantautora]

fantastic voice

[coffeethrall]

Brilliant! Your cover challenges the original for quality--you do the song justice, and then some! I look forward to your future efforts!!! Please do more Dar if your aunt has any other songs to suggest....The Ocean, perhaps?

[SandyEggoGuy]

Great job on the song!

[SandyEggoGuy]

By the way, if anyone wants the chords to the song, you can get them at my site at ronsfolkchords.

[cruelandclumsy]

Huge Dar fan here, and you definitely do her justice! Love the cover!

[dragynheart]

Hi, Leesha, Moon again. I keep watching this video because I really like your version of it. I am learning to play it so I have a suggestion for the next time you post a video. Could you please give a wider shot so we can see your hands on the fret board, at least? That helps so much. I have been watching Dar's version on her and I would like to see how "you" fret the Bb and the B, as I know there are a couple different ways of doing it.

Thanks for the music! :)

[ikzray]

You are good at playing guitar and singing, so this cover sounds very GOOD!!

[dragynheart]

Ok dang! Dar is MY ABSOLUTE IDOL and I am also a singer/songwriter/guitarist. I must say, you did a FABULOUS job of this song, and even more so since you say you had just learned it yesterday. Awesome. And love the new guitar. I have a Taylor, and I love that thing to bits.

Oh and explore more of Dar's music, she is amazing. I got to meet her last week when she played in St. Louis. My life is complete now :)

Moon

[niceday888]

just awesome!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks!

[elviscantdance]

Nice job, and really not that rough more than in one or two places... ;-)

[DrMalPracktiss]

Somebody might kill you, since there are a lot of psychopaths running around loose on YouTube, so I'm gonna help you out here:

Technically, it's Taka-MEE-nay (in Japanese), but that's one of those funky foreign words that becomes altered slightly for American English, so it thus becomes Taka-MEE-nee.

NOW your life can start in earnest.

[bdcoller]

I have trouble shifting to the B-flat too. Very good job. I liked it a lot.

[orangejunk20]

I like the chords/riffs... Powerful song and performance :)

[lordkillman]

really GOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD (^_^)

[poppygarden2000]

very VERY nice lady!!! Thanks for sharing your talent again with the world!!! 5 stars

[sevenender]

wonderfull

[Anniereadsalot]

Love it!

[serenataorg]

Very cool, Leesha!

[willythewave2]

Hey Leesha,I love the song {its different} very good though I like it.You bring new life into music which is good.

Have you forgotten me? LOL.Bummer if you have.:)

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks! No, I certainly haven't forgotten you or any of my YT friends... but unfortunately there's only so many hours in the day! I'm working on cloning myself.... heh, heh! ;-)

[EstebanChurches]

The Bush-Milgram experiment should have been the title :-D

[EstebanChurches]

Maybe you should press the buzzer now before Election day. I don't know how I pay all my bills, either :-D I see Dar blames right-wing politics for all our financial troubles and even compares it to fascism. I wouldn't go that far. Nevertheless, you sing the song well and your new guitar sounds great. No need to buy your CD at iTunes because Sven Iglesias aka Esteban Churches already did at CDbaby ;-)

[LeeshaHarvey]

And thank you so much for buying it through CDBaby! iTunes is great, but I still got a load of those CDs sitting in my house, and CDBaby is the way to move those babies out! :)

[ruthcbutler]

Hey Leesha!! Long time no see. You sound great and your new guitar is so beautiful!! Keep it up. You just keep growing as an artist. :D That is very encouraging.

xx,

Ruth

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks so much, Ruth! I watched some of my first YouTube videos the other day, and I was encouraged that I'm actually getting better... it's amazing what a ton of practice will do!

:-) I hope you are well and keeping at the music as always!

[thiswaythat]

Posted a review on iTunes. Probably won't show for a couple days though

(._.)

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks! :)

[thiswaythat]

NOT loving it. Not that you did not sing or play it well, but i'm use to your meaningful lyrics. This seems a bit flat.

Always glad to hear your voice, but i'm a Leesha fan. I like when she sings her life to us.

(._.)

[LeeshaHarvey]

I was taken by this song because I have always been fascinated (and disturbed) by the psychological study on which this song is based. To each his own though! :)

[noliketoregister]

Thanks for the song and the update. Nice instrument. A little out of my price range though. What's engraved into it's ivory heel cap I wonder?

[LeeshaHarvey]

"Inspiration" is engraved on it. I think it's suppose to seep in through osmosis while you play. ;-)

[noliketoregister]

"The Singer Songwriter (TF430SS) is the latest addition to Takamines new T series of boutique-quality guitars. The Singer Songwriter was designed and built specifically for the composer looking for inspiration in the form of an elegant writing instrument with a vintage look and sweet voice. Inspiration can literally be found on each guitar engraved into the Ivory heel cap of each piece."

Yes it all makes sense to me now. Now I'm thinking of engraving "Leesha" into my guitar.

[ctown29]

nice playing & Singing !!! You look so cute!

[raigpond]

Very nice Leesha,not an easy song

You look so happy when you sing,so nice to see..

5*!

[LeeshaHarvey]

[mobitz57]

Nice guitar! Nice song! Nice camera!

[DAVIDDAMIENR]

That's a LOT of Lyrics ...

Cool Song .

DDR

[LeeshaHarvey]

A lot of lyrics indeed... thanks for watching!

[unknown88sansnom]

You are awesome!! I Love you.

:)

[buska100]

Wow! Damn cool version

[texxlakota]

Very nice job. So glad to hear from you, and to have you back. Nice guitar. Just remember, no smashing guitars until you are super famous and rich. :) Take care

[LeeshaHarvey]

No, no, I won't smash any guitars! Well, maybe this really old crappy one I have... but nah, my kids can play with it. :)

[30framessec]

Like the cover Leesha. That new guitar looks nifty. Looking forward to hearing lots from it. Just avoid all WHO covers so your not tempted to smash it at the end.

[LeeshaHarvey]

Ha! I don't think it will be a temptation, as I still lovingly and gently place it back in its padded case, lock it, and warn my kids not to get within 5 feet of it. Hee, hee, just kidding... sort of....! ;-)

[jkilcull]

check out your hair! looks great...

you look like you're having lots of fun!

nice sound...

:)

[LeeshaHarvey]

I think my new webcam is to thank for my brighter-looking hair, because I didn't do anything different to it! It's the same color it's always been. :)

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Gosh... I ran out of breath just listening! How do you rattle off all those lyrics so clearly? Great guitar (very cool looking head stock and tobacco finish). Can't wait to see your upcoming vidz! Is the collab a secret? Who's the lucky second party? GREAT as usual, Leesha. Take care ~Jon

[LeeshaHarvey]

Yeah it was a mouthful... finding places to breathe was a challenge!

I don't think the collab is a secret, but then again, I don't know for sure... so I guess I better not say anything! It increases the suspense! Heh.

[KamakaTexas]

Wonderful cover! Nice guitar!

[DeafeningTheDaisies]

nice! love the uptempo speed, cool to see ya do something fast :)

[normspace]

Awesome, Nice song!

[jdstorms]

Beautiful guitar and it sounds so nice! Song well done! 5/5

[lefthooklyrics]

always good.

[kim013523]

nice cover :)

Leesha you seem kinda different now, or I have been away for a while?

[LeeshaHarvey]

Chalk it up to the new guitar and new web cam...? ;-)

[11moonelf]

beautiful new guitar & great song cover! thanks for the update.(o:

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks for watching!

[GusGoneSolo]

Great as always!.. love the new guitar, Takamine makes great guitars.

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks! I'm really happy with my Takamine... I initially thought I'd go with a Gibson, Taylor, or Martin but was pleasantly surprised with the sound of this Tak. :)

[GusGoneSolo]

I almost bought one this summer because I love Taks but it didn't quite work out for me. Keep up the awesome music!
