  • I am not really a fan but she did a great job with the song and video.

  • Can some body tell me how to download this song? Please? tell me

  • ipod

  • eu gosto muito do som da Serena, maravilhoso

  • Listening to this again since my last post a month ago, and I repeat:

    I'm smitten, smote, and am full of smitten-ness. If this is the only thing I ever hear her do, I'm still done for. What tones and tonal arrangement!

  • Selena Ryder is the latest very talented Canadian female singer/songwriter; the list is long and growing.This song, along with Melanie Doan's " All The Diamonds", could replace a couple of tired old Christmas songs.

    takamine 1236

  • Not in canada they can't. theres nothing that canadians love more than those tiresome, weezy old canadian standards like 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,' 'Jolly Jolly Xmas' by dirl Ives the nova scotia folksinger, he played a snowman by the way in a kid's show.

    and that sordid jazzy 'Santa Baby'. its played almost 24 hours a day. and of course ANYTHING by that crooner perry Comb. Sheesh,!

    canadians get a life!

  • oh god. santa baby. worst christmas song ever.

    honestly, i'm only very selectively fond of any christmas music composed after 1800...

  • hmm, another biased american

  • Hip, Hip, Hurrah for America the greatest nation that is, and will ever be!

    Remember that canadians!

  • LMFAO ,

    You do know that Serena is Canadian?

  • Unperfect(I'llsay)ismyname.

    just what is LMFAO what can't u peepul speke real english

  • okay ,

    People***

    speak**

    how's that for real english?

    and, if you were cool at all, you would know what "lmfao" meant, so i'm not going to waste my time explaining it :)

  • Stumbled across this vid tonite and I must say,great modern version of a 60's classic.Well done.

  • u wake up to all the worries most people are having today problems of our goverment you watch this video and it gives you a little hope AWESOME

  • barbruggiero,  Hope? no not hope, enjoyment. for as long as the video plays.

  • Soon its christmastime and the third year me and all other germans have to miss this song in radio. Your songs so great, your voice so powerful. You stand with Amy W. and Gabriela G. which are populare here, why they hide you? No lobby? That girl is so great - hope once meet/hear you here - Greatings to Vancouver :O) and my Serena

  • whats the significance of the two circular lights flying around...if that is there is any

  • starshine following her around?

  • ... tat was my sisster singen xp i was just maken sure eerything goes right and we just came up wth da song

  • Song and singer so beautiful!

  • I avoid going into Dallas at all costs...but when you came their on tour I made the exception. If any of you get a chance to watch her pour her heart out in person..DO IT.

  • first time i heard it I thought it was alanis, both remarable singers

  • Okay, I've never heard this version before. I'm smitten, smote, and am full of smite-ness. If this is the only thing I ever hear her do, I'm still done for. What tones and tonal arrangement!

  • Who is she?

  • Serena Ryder. I believe she's a singer from Toronto. I love her voice, and little bit of love is a great song by her.

  • i remeber the first time i ever heard this song like 2 years ago it was amazing i was in love.

  • when i first heard this i thought it was Melissa Ethridge.

  • me too

  • wow.. wat a voice on this Lady..

  • Me parece espectacular que se pueda contar con un material tan especial y más aún con una melodía que en sus años fue algo magnífica.

  • saw this talented lady open for xavier rudd - this is a great cover, her music is just as good so check her out.

  • Wonderful. Love it!!

  • Ich liebe dieses Lied gesungen von einer einmaligen Sängerin mit einer sehr ausdrucksstarken Stimme. Einfach genial das Lied.

  • Voilà mon réel coup de coeur ....

  • On a par with the original. I think!

  • wow, i remember seeing you play at the great canadian bread co. in peterborough back in the day, gosh it must have been over 10 years ago!

    congrats on the success!

  • ...Bella canción que le canta la vida.

  • uygfu

  • I hear they're going to have a new production of Hair soon on Broadway.

    I live in New York so I have no excuse not to see it.

    I wonder if they will update or stay with the original script.

    Back then the topic of the day or decade was the Vietnam war.

    Now it's the war in Iraq.

  • Serena, if you read this I wish I was your love singing our early morning song. Love James

  • Ich liebe dieses Lied und die Stimme von Serena - warum kann ich das nicht in Deutschland im Radio hören!!!! I love that song, that voice and that woman - why so far nobody in Germany knows about her - only me???

  • perfect, nice voice

  • Serena made me feel 18 again and I'm a long ways down the road from 18.

  • oh no, there is a road, yikes!!! think i'll take the left, then.

  • this song reminds me of the beijing olympics for some reason :P

  • Agree, great version of an old favorite

  • great version and great video!

  • I think you mean "bought"..

    Soz

  • I'd never heard of this singer until a few days ago, but wow, what a great voice....and I love the remake. Great video! She's got a kind of Alanis Morissette/Mary Tyler Moore thing going on. She also looks a lot like Mindy, from Mork and Mindy.

    Hope to see more of this kid around.

  • m enknta sta kncion!! y sta mujer es admirable!!

  • Nice song I rember it when I was growing up in the 70's she done a great job redoing this and the vid great too

  • Great song.

    Original is better,

    but,

    this is good, too.

  • original is better I think

  • just to be clear, Hair was a broadway musical before the movie was made...

    I do like this version of the song, but i believe Oliver's is still better

  • Sorry just to be clearer the movie was made in 1979. Get it out it's a hoot but yes the musical was from much earlier. After an off-Broadway debut in October 1967, the show opened on Broadway in April 1968.

  • Try 1979. It was set around 68 but the movie was made in 1979. Director was the great Milos Forman (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest etc)

  • Much better than her attempt at covering "It Doesn't Matter Anymore"... quite enjoyable!

  • a song from the musical Hair 1968 or 1969 thereabouts

    about the same time that the mary tyler moore show was first on

  • 1968 would actually be correct...it came out in April of that year...

  • dam hippies

  • Ahahaha!

    Love your comment.

  • Morning is not good for me if I don't play this video. Good morning starshine!!!

  • i`m a guy who suffers from depression & on the days when i feel a little down i play this song and it never fails to give me a smile ,thank you Serena.

  • A great song just got better!

  • the u.s. is starshine. believe it.

  • Thank you my dear one that sent this to me..I love you!! Good Morning Baby!!

  • I Agree!

    She is very good!

    I heard just now this version but this is the best (for me of course).

  • I like this! She is good!

  • beautiful song. it sounds so timeless. I thought this song was maybe 30 years old. I just listened to it on the radio for maybe the second time. So I memorized some of the lyrics and searched for it.

  • Great tone in the voice and throat....almost reminds me of Joni!! :)

  • Loved it!!!

    The sound is perfect, very clear.

    Beautiful version.

  • that song is so nice ... exactly for the morning mood :D

  • Honestly, was never a fan of this song before, but I really dig this version! Very cool!

  • Very nice. great vocals and song.

    peace

    ~Miki~

    p.s.

    thanks for the share JTuttle24

  • ull!!

  • I am addicted to this song! It captivated me on the t.v. as it rose far above all the other music. I've been learning to sing and play the guitar for this song. I love it! Beautiful voice! I tried listening to the original but Serena's version is superior.

  • Wow,,, amazing voice and beautiful woman matched with classic fun song and professional videography and editing with some real production value - this is one of my favorite pick-me-up visuals and vocals. Thanks for listening and sharing...

  • this song is remake by oilver thank you!!

  • The BEST rendition of this song EVER!!

  • She's cute.

  • what a powerful voice... how wonderful to bring this great song up to a whole new generation... awesome!

  • I never liked this song until NOW !

    What a fantastic voice to match the beauty!

    We need more like this.

  • I never liked this song that much, but she does the best version of it I've heard. Ooby-olla-walla indeed. (My fave by her: "My Heart Cries For You," although how she found and rescued that hoary chestnut is beyond me...)

  • NAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

  • I love Serena Ryder, everytime I feel down I just have to watch this vid and hear her beautiful voice to cheer me up!!!

  • Hey Sis, sounding great

  • Ha ha, they say those lines in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory..

  • Serena went to my high school, however we didn't go at the same time, she's younger then I am. Give it up for PCVS in Peterborough, Ontario YA BABY!

  • what a beautiful voice!

  • I love her low notes, her tone is really rich. The girls on American Idol and shows like that can learn from this.

  • So beautiful, So Serena

  • I love it when a song in taken and the artist will turn into their own.

  • I love your music,

    her songs are so unique

  • i love you serena ryder <3

    ;)

  • Definitely on my "makes me happy" list too. What a sweetheart. Just nice to watch someone with such an obviously beautiful soul enjoying life.

  • she looks like Suzie Quatro.. one of my fave songs..

  • This video is in my "Make Me Happy Right Now!" playlist!. Awesome rendition of one of my favorite songs. Fantastic job.

  • Fantastic...she is truly gifted...another amazing Canadian talent!!!

  • Fantastic...she is truly gifted...another amazing Canadian talent!!!

  • Hi Serena,

    I thought (like other people) that this song was a John Denver classic. Thanks google for the correct info! My children say i watch this video too much. Just so pretty. Did you know that this song ( the way you've arranged it musicaly, that it would generate such positive feelings on people before you release it?

    Thanks

    Pierre

  • Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wonderful tune...great personality...and what a smile!  Watching this video makes me want to get up and find a cure for something! :-)

  • : ) That's probably the nicest comment I have ever heard someone say about a video! : )

  • so much heart and soul in her voice. Brilliant!

  • She looks so incredible at 1:31

  • -.-

  • Could you please put this on itunes?!?!

  • All Canadians are proud of her

    Fred in Toronto

  • Ara this is for you the Starshine in my path

  • I never get sick of this song. I love it, its a great remake.

  • esta caraja es identica a mi novia!!! que rica

  • I love Serena and her way to sing that song is beatiful... excuse my english i`m from venezuela, 10000000000 kisses to Serena, good morning starshin very good in her voice

  • This song musically stands on it's own merit regardless of who the singer happens to be. In the same context it would be just as popular if there were no singer, just the music. What makes it so attractive musically is the great underlying samba/spanish rhythm. Remake or no, Serena's true to life version is great. It's the music that counts, if it weren't Oliver would have sang it Acapella.

  • I love this! She did great...the quality of her voice does the original justice.

  • the version on this song is ok and Serena is a beauty

  • good Lord. i clicked on this expecting to hear the original and i get more proof that the new generation's so low on talent they have to remake another song

  • covering songs has gone on all through the 20th century, I doubt your generation of music is exempt...good songs are covered over and over and are often hits over and over and come to a new generation .... thats the beauty of it.

  • i'm part of the gen x crowd (embarrassingly) and there's no beauty about this gal's remake or any i've heard in years.

  • sehace loposible y por favor dejameelevarmesin critaicas!! ok!!!

  • Awesome, that voice made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Woah
