wow, what a beautiful song and video. this doesn't require marks, it demands standing ovation. i am from brissy also, and i truely hope you two make it. i am deeply touched. lucky i am a tough carpenter.
it is amazing how closely this song describes my relationship with a certain person who is no longer around, one day we just ended up stop talking to each other and when i heard this it made me think of her
Man, that is beautiful, so heartfelt! Did you write that yourself? I've learned to express feelings in poetry I can't otherwise express elsewhere, so I can really relate to this. I never met any of you, but this whole matter has so touched my heart...and so have you!
... after you make vid don't allow to be more then 20mB. If you upload one bigger then 20mb uTube will resize your vid to 10-20 and after the quality would be terrible. That's what i see video output is not good at all .
this has been up for a week? how did i miss it? great video and song! if you say your CD will sound better, i can't wait to hear it! from one musician to another, you are a great one!
You give to peoples you don't know by youtube very personnal feelings witch is just GREAT.
To me, you should try to add some reverb or chorus to your voice in this song. Actually it sounds to me a little "confined", well I don't know the word... in french "étouffé" but the deep feelings you trying to send deserve more deeper sound to enhance your beautiful voice.
i totally agree. i actually can't STAND the recording of this song, but i really was too impatient to work on it further. when i complete the CD i'm workin on, it will sound much better than this recording :) thanks for the input, didou ;)
What a GREAT song! I love what you did with the internal rhymes. I love complex thoughts put into simple words. And a very "hookable" melody. i;'ll be humming this tune all day. And the images fit is SO WELL! VERY, VERY touching. Great job! I'll be back for more.
This is so beautiful I have featured it on my page. This to me is one of the best original songs I have heard on Youtube. I hope it gets featured. It's easy to see the inspiration and passion your lyrics came from. All the best to you guys!
You should hear some of her other stuff it's really amazing too. It's rumored that a link to her music Myspace can be found somewhere on her you tube profile page..
Shannon, I really think you should go to Australia to see Dan. It has gotta be easier for an US citizen to get into Australia than any foreigner to get in the US. It would be cheap because you could stay with him or his parents the whole time. All you would have to pay for is the plane ticket. Perhaps you and he could go in half on the ticket since he has saved so much for visiting the states.
Anyways, just an idea. Seeing both your videos made me cry, & I just want you to be together.
Absolutely awesome. Beautiful. Heartfelt, really shows off everything I love about your music. I agree with the other poster about "The Ring" though. I spent the whole video trying to figure out what it reminded me of. Absolutely stunning. You're MUCH more talented than you think you are.
Beautiful song! It's good to see that (as far as I could tell) you kept both earrings for the most, if not all of the regular taping that you kept. :)
I hope whoever it is, does too. He sounds like a real jerk though because really.. who in their right mind would leave that.. *points to Shan* in the first place? :)
Unfortunately, the harsh lighting deminishes what could have been the sort of dreamy video that would suit the song well! Other than that, Shannon, it would have been another captivating video like 'Life Is' is!
Very beautiful song, nice voice and excellent lyrics only problem I got is the angle on the black and white it looks like your got a scar on your forehead and I've seen you in color and your very beautiful, it just doesn't give you your due on your beauty, idk mind scars but black and white just amplifies it.. good job and don't take this as critizism but just pointing out something..
Shannon have you thinked about uploading your videos to Veoh as well and putting the link on your description here? I do that with some of my videos, so people with high speed connections have a better experience.
jaw dropped. holy sheot. the echo/effect you have going on the piano is awesome.
have you considered double tracking your voice? just something i thought you might want to experiment with.
although on second thought, for someone with a singer-songwriter style, you have to be the most diverse-ranging voice/style wise i've heard yet. i still remember the first time i saw your myspace, it was full of r&b-ish ballad/jams.
actually your voice is too powerful too even need a double track.
haha i love how you were just having a conversation with yourself. i love the double tracking... elliott smith and john lennon... ingenius. :) maybe i will do that onea these days, sir. thanks for the recc!
vegas 7.0 and it renders them as well. the problem is i don't know the proper compression... or what would work best. i've tried so many of them and the rendering takes SO long and then the uploading to even CHECK it... *sigh* annoying! :)
