Conversations With Dead People (Original by Danielle Ate the Sandwich)

[RobertBordenMusic]

I remember when this was featured on YouTube’s homepage when they still used to do that. One of my favorites :)

[Titiwasalwayshere]

this is the coolest thing i have ever seen...

[poessto]

i have almost two years listening to ur song, and every time i listen it i feel something inside that i can't describe.. could u tell me the chords!? i would like to do a cover and send it to u! :)

[mechdragon25]

thumbs up if SparkLife brought you here!

[Titiwasalwayshere]

@mechdragon25 hun, all those other people are just losers! SPARKLERS FOR LIFE!!!

[MrAarontothemax]

What kind of ukulele is this?

[xXxHoggie20xXx]

just came across this page for the first time and been listening to your songs for a while now you got serious talent and i can also say your beautiful keep it up!!

[KillerBunny231]

i cant find the song that was played on buffy :(

[joshokodo]

i watch ur videos to motivate me to learn and master my ukey. and u inspire me to write my own songs..... many years from now when im old, BUT hopefully mastered my little ukey

[1homebrewed]

chefbranham: Try Em, G, Em, G, etc, then D. The strum is kind of a tremelo end on the up, then on the down. I can't really explain it because my right brain doesn't communicate with my left brain. I just have to let go and feel it. You'll get it. Oh, and Danielle, thanks for coming to Oregon, you are beautiful.

[chefbranham]

I would like to learn this on guitar if it's possible? I doubt she'll or anyone else will see this. =[

[kurtywurty85]

why did this have to end?

[kurtywurty85]

some things are just too perfect, they shouldn't exist. i don't know where i am

[Reckelsch]

I love the song, I like your voice, great performance. many greetings from zurich (switzerland)!!

[legalizepedroo]

I'm making a bongos beat for this here song, I wish we can play together some day! Your music inspired me to start doing new thing. Good vibes from PA.

[skinsunit2]

your voice is beautiful.... but not loud enough.... you need a better uke to voice ratio.... but i love the song.... i like the way you write.

[speakyourmind14]

tabs pls pls pls pls please?

[BDIsernhagen]

@speakyourmind14 the verse is just E minor and G major. the bridge thing is bar second fret and E minor

[MisterMountainDew]

The reason I first ever looked at this song (or listened to you at all) was the description about Bill Maher. I'm pretty sure I fell in love with your music since then. My friend Bailey saw you play a show in CO and you said hey to me through her. I was very excited! This will always be my favorite song by you; the lyrics are so beautiful.

[missrachelvyzion]

omg i saw u at the marquee theater in CO. and you were great!!! love you!!! you've inspired me to pick up the ukulele =) <3

[SoulTassadar]

This is your best song, its not even close. I like all your music but this song is actually just poetry.

[unwell333]

you're so weird and neat! I love your original songs! They're so beautiful.

[passionpassion123]

I will be you one day. hhahahah

[VLoganV]

Rawr!

[Drukonis]

If I ever develop a shrink-ray your my first victim. pocket sized joy ^^

[devin81022]

Devin Drinks The Kool-Aid

[MyCatSnoresLoudly]

I love this song more and more and more every time I hear it. >u>

[lefkada88]

[bigmoth14]

your a great singer! I want to learn to play the ukulele!

[bigmoth14]

[zeedonk]

[BitemeCharleeXD]

You. are. absolutley. wonderful. Your adorable. haha. And extremley talenteddddd. I WILL be buying this album, and telling EVERYONE about it.

[frog1e199]

i still can't get enough of this song!

[seiscientoscuatro]

come some day to the third world, I promise we don't bite :)

[Clementine467]

Please tell me this is from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode

[daniellesmagic]

@Clementine467 yes it is a reference to the episode!

[andyouonapplause]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. youre great.

[jspinski92]

this was posted three years ago today! it still remains one of my favorite danielle ate the sandwich songs, as well as one of my favorite original youtube songs EVER :)

[inbetweenthemirror]

Seriously, I saw this video a while back and couldn't remember what the hell it was. You kinda made my day, I mean, you're like that little pocket of happiness everyone wishes to find in the world. And because of youtube, everyone can find it! haha

[giantprawn60]

what brand of uke is it?

[ltschr1s]

LOL @ bill maher statement

[ForTheFuture19]

Wow, that was a total creeper smile in the beginning. You drive a white van with tinted windows, don't you?

[tkeely4777]

You and Ben Gibbard should collaborate musically, fall in love with one another, marry and become the ultimate indie couple. XD

[BML66666]

abo gegenn aboo

[mykonstantine95]

your voice and you yourself are beautiful. keep on writing songs!

[MaxSearsRocks]

This is great !

Reminds me of a mix between Dead Cab for Cutie and Pocahontas. yeah

[neonbuildings]

So lovely... I really want to hear this on the guitar though.

[LODragonJoe]

Your voice is sooo beautiful. I'd love to hear you belt it out on a power ballad sometime.

[ItchyKneeSon]

This is hypothetical, of course: If we went to the same high school, we would've known each other, but wouldn't have hung out cuz I was a douche off and on. In college, though, we would've been great friends because I was so cool. /End fraudulent flashback. Now, we can be YouTube friends. Werd?

[KleeMillz]

i have this on my ipod =]

[kishbot]

Love the clothes & glasses, music tops the cake. See this chick doing cameos on indie films. Awesome 'o'. Quirky dorky and broken pretty. love it.

[AlexxHaines]

Danielle! Could you give me chords for this song? Thank you!

[Sephirothmmd]

missy higgins wannabe... she'll never be successful unless she creates her own style...

really bad acting by the way..

[jeni971]

@Sephirothmmd you fag, youve never seen her old videos so you wouldnt get the joke.. psh

[TheGirlThatDoesYoga]

@Sephirothmmd

Danielle is nothing like Missy Higgins..

your comparison fails...

[jxnboi04]

I absolutely love this song

It's so beautiful

[Hi88378]

O.m.g ur an amazing singer!!! U should definitely become famous!!!

[verlorenlugen]

I'm glad people like you, can put relatable situations into a beautiful phrases and melodic sounds, so that others can get those songs stuck in their head, and not feel SO alone. Thanks

[phoebeaurora]

i'm really enjoying this song! great job

[Kyletheepicness]

i read your screen name as danielle smagic and i thought smagic was your last name x3 i'm so silly

[speakyourmind14]

AHHHHH I LOVE YOU

[sandihume]

sorry, the lyrics spoilt it.

you have such beauty and talent tho :)

[HamburgerHaley]

Still my favorite. It seems that you are becoming more famous by the day...

[giiteen]

Your a beautiful girl and a great singer . Keep doing what you do and you could seriously win American idol if you tried. Stay true to yourself and you'll go far :)

[movebitchgetoutthewa]

[PersonOneBillionSix]

Who the hell gave this a thumbs dow?!? This is like my new favorite song =D

[trouble2214]

I like your music, it's quite enjoyable my friend. :]

[bubafet456789]

you are wonderful and quite funny!

[HITLERSBFFL]

i love this.

[ThePeanutGallery]

and by your i mean you're of course

[ThePeanutGallery]

Your so pretty

[yk1ng]

Reminds me strongly of "Brandenburg" by Beirut.

[frannypolanco]

youre cute

[gphiproductions]

i know that it's been a while since you've posted this video but it's still one of my best. It is currently and has been for some time now marked as one of my favorites on my Youtube page. You have a nice voice. Keep making music Daniell! :) 5 stars!!!

[RaszFilm]

Ukulele is the best.

[rabbithowls]

could be singing about genocide in some small third world country, and it would still sound sweet. Vocals=magical. Ukulele= makes you miss a simpler time you never had. Guess thats an A+

[stuckinshuffle]

very pretty. i liked this alot

[smileyfaceXP]

it depresses me that i cant get this on itunes.. :(

[daniellesmagic]

you can too. it's on my first album, Danielle Ate the Sandwich (self titled)

[triskut]

@daniellesmagic Hi Danielle, I predict the weather for my job and I predict that....your gonna make it rain on dez bitches....

[cidoleche]

@daniellesmagic me too :(

[herbzilla12]

@smileyfaceXP I think I tunes has sapped your ability to think for yourself. Download a program that rips embedded videos. My program of choice is Real player 8, but 'You Tube Downloader' works as well. Then down load, "File Format Factory" and convert the video to mp3.

[rockclimber21]

love your voice! I think it would've sounded better on a guitar, though...

[horizont20001]

he*h*e so funny and awesome bravo girl^i like it 5*

[goshapsplayer]

спору нет красивый голос . ... nice voice

[TylerBearHart]

Its sad... Only like,

1 video response, is an actual response to this video. :(

I was hoping some people would do covers of this.

[brokebum89]

so..... I have been watching a few things of yours.... I am quite envious. You play very well, not to mention an amazingly sweet voice to compliment the music. How long have you been playing?

[steakfacetothemax]

this is kinda like a chav explaing to you what rydberg's equation is used for...... you dont like him but you are pleasently surprised and interested

:)

[masoudkabir73]

hi you my sweet,

I love your singing,

I do not Ancestry, I have to sing for your feeling.

nice to greet your herz.babey

[Theatricool]

You are a fantastic creature! Beautiful song.

[shadowthing246]

Still your most melodic and flowing song.

[DaveWilker]

I am still crazy about your music! I only wish you could use 2 microphones, as the Uke is drowning out your lovely voice!

Thank you, from a creepy old man.

[troutpotato]

Danielle, this was the very first song of yours that I heard. I fell in love with it instantly. It still remains my favorite to this day. You are awesome! Please don't stop making your wonderful music!

[ukulelegirl1]

[natefaizy]

[ukulelegirl1]

[darcie853]

[cybersipey]

I often find myself unfolding old letters from old lovers and friends. Nail on the head with the emotional symbolism.

[antevans1]

Haha!! You`re Bonkers!

"counting complex carbohydrates", was laughing my socks off at that.

Your honesty and candid nature is endearing. Good luck

[hollaz2edgar]

[MollyOmigosh]

[MRHIGHDEFINITION74]

Send Me On My Way (Rusted Root Cover)

[Qcumber3]

You have it, girl! ;)

[TitoDaMan]

The voices in my head and myself have made the unanimous decision for you to bear all 3 of my children. Congratulations. You'll be receiving an information package on the matter in 2 short weeks.

[admiraljansen]

Epic.

[Maryberry72z]

u didnt say bye to diddy :D lol

[MarlonOwnsYourCake]

that's how gangsta she is, she doesn't have to say bye, she just hangs up on that nigga.

[willvpalabama]

[pretTilittlepoison]

I love her humor. Great singing voice!

[bsbllowns26]

[1953Andreas]

Change glasses, please

[littlelamb1890]

your voice is so pure and pretty! Make a cd!

[librarydanceparty]

Good news!!! She has two!!! Yay!

You can buy them on iTunes or from her myspace.

[pretTilittlepoison]

sad yet cheerful. its a perfect blend of the two, and the instrument choice is lovely, breezy. Your voice is the real instrument though. Its very reminiscent of Spektor's voice. But it is YOUR voice, not to be misunderstood.

[muppetnut]

i think she phrases similarly to Ingrid Michaelson.

[pretTilittlepoison]

I looked Ingrid up, listened to a few of her songs. Your right, they really do have the same vocal pauses and tone.

[deliascuttie]

hmm...yes but! she is better than ingrid. :]

[abcliqor]

Ur a frickin beast on that ukelele

[zetimzetimzetim]

you sound awsomely amazing

[joshd108]

i believe its a G

im not positive

but if it helps its very similar to a D on guitar

[thespaceman48]
