  • Should do another cowrite. :D

  • My nickname is KevJumba

  • i love you

  • Comment removed

  • my nickname is kina lol

  • Kina, i`m totally in love with u :-))

  • your eyes look so beautiful cus of the light

  • @bigthree53420 they always look beautiful

  • I still love your voice... keep singing Kina!

  • I DONT GET WHERE YOUR SUPPOSED TO WRITE IT AHH. theres no spot to write it down. im so confused.

  • @truelove109 The co-writing thing sorta died. There were thousands and thousands of entries, and the judging format really wasn't that good. My guess is that it was just too much work, and it got sent to the ol' circular file of history.

    Oh well.

  • @cpuwrite

    I think they carried on with it. I am sure I spotted 'cowrites' upto number 5. It may even be complete.

    But I think a lot of us just gave up because the posting and voting were so screwed up.

  • @Dustypilgrim1 You/re right. I was wrong. Thanks for setting the record straight.

  • I dont see the moderator =(

  • aw...i am too late for the competition :(

  • Wow! I am trying to do the same as you ! What a great idea you have ! Creative commons on youtube.! Count me in . I m working on a tune right now . I made a group also called " original Beautiful songs" please join, i d love to have you ...♫ i will send separate invite ♥ peter ruellan

  • U - R - B - U - T - Fuel

  • Wow, you're singing is just awesome. Hey, maybe I'll see you in L.A. singing somewhere because I'm moving there in a few months..heck yeah. Anyways, to end this on a good note. You're a boss Kina Grannis and you will take over the world with your voice!

    P.S. Tell the Wong Fu Productions to let you sing on their "funemployed" shows!

  • New Slang by The Shins

  • @lolleegagging fully

  • Did the lyrics ever get chosen?

  • PLEAASE PLEASEEE perform in Oregon!

  • can't stop staring at those eyes... omg

  • awww i missed the submission date

    o well goodluck to all those who did submit..

    i really wanted to submit this : I am walking down the staircase where me met/ Highschool memories start to replay in my head/ Ohh/ It feels like just yesterday I lost myself in you're eyes/ I was so young i believed that this was love

  • I didn't get to post these in the moderator thing cause it wouldn't work for me. :(

    But I thought I'd share the lyrics just for fun. :)

    The stars and the moon are shining bright/ Makes it so hard to stay put in the night/ Ohh/ But then you are here and I am fine/ Keep your hand held firm in mine/ Please stay by my side til morning light.

  • If they started on May 25, and it's June 20 now, perhaps they've gone JUST A TAD over the two weeks that they gave as the time to pick the first verse.

    I'm not sure I blame them, though. First, there were over 1500 entries to sort through. Second, the voting format wasn't anything even resembling fair, so they probably had to chuck the votes and look it all over themselves. Third, I suspect that Kina has other things to do also like--oh, I don't know--play music and earn a living, maybe. :)

  • It's time for me to say that I made a mistake

    I used a sad puppy-eyed face to make you believe

    That your words could mean something to someone

    That I'd put them on YouTube

    It's easy to be liked when you're all so stupid

  • @masturbatingmuhammad

    or maybe she is just a little busy.

    If you read the posts you would know the moderator wasn't working properly anyway. Perhaps she is trying to come up with a fairer way to do the thing.

    Whatever , she has still provided me with hours of musical pleasure , so , if she takes longer than stated , so what.

    Remind me what it is you gave us , Mo' . Maybe I missed it.

  • Yeah, this "Cowrite with Kina" thing was a big mistake. There's no way she's going to sing any of the crap you people have submitted.

  • @masturbatingmuhammad dont hate geez. she might.

  • Hey, my name is Johnny. I am a sixteen singer/song-writer! These are the lyrics I have written for your melody:

    We’re alive and burning like a bonfire

    with friends and musical instruments

    Our heart is beating with the pulse of each star and ocean

    We can make it through the high bets with no sweat

    When the lucent lightning strikes

    It’s a sign to start the chase and though we have bruises

    I know we’ll win this race ending at a warm tender stage

    we can make it through the high bets with no sweat

  • Comment removed

  • i wud love to input on ur next hit! .. ... if y'all gonna use that intro.. it wud be cool using Dustypilgrim1's lyrics.

    i would want to hear you go into a crescendo next, keep us alive, then come back again, doing the next corscendo slightly lower to the bridge

    its nice when you keep your eyes open you have a nice smile. :)

  • Beautiful song. It is a good idea to write a song to many persons.

  • Kina, only today I was happy to see your videos. Do not know if they are known in Brazil, but you can be sure who won an admirer and someone who will help spread his talent and his music here.

  • from the ashes of my burned out broken heart

    I arise a new creation from the ground.... ohhh

    with every breath left in my soul, I shall grow to love again

    riding life without the worries or the pain

  • Hey Kina, looking forward to the song. What ever happened? did it get cancelled?

  • I am looking to a face of an angel

    And she's asking for some lines for her melody

    But how can I think of anything relevant

    For this whole world to see

    Her voice brings me to the place

    Where I tried hard to stay away.

  • now this is a story all about....

    how my life got flipped turned upside down..

    and ide like to take a minute just sit there...

    ill tell you how i became...

    the prince of a town called Bel Air....

    i think its a great start, but i don't know how the rest of it would go....

  • Kina could sing her grocery list and it would be better than most anything on the radio today.

  • Kina, you are absolutely gorgeous! I would love to make it to your show in Vienna Va. however it is already sold out. You are so talented and love your voice.

  • Hey, arrived late to the party here so I thought I'd throw some lyrics at ya on the comments.

    ***

    So I have given all the life I have to give

    Every heartbeat slowly ticking time away

    You know I don't want to let you go

    But you're really set on leaving

    Corey I hope I'll see you again someday.

    ***

    (can be interpreted in different ways I suppose but not written as boy/girl story lyrics. Thinkin about my sister's baby (Corey) when I wrote them)

  • great idea Kina!

  • Jesus, Kina is beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. I missed her show in Atlanta but I'm hoping to make it next time :]

  • question: so okay each verse and chorus and bridge 's best or most voted lyricist(s) are chosen, of which each part has different meaning, how do you get a complete song out of it? :/

  • @mellomelinya truly valid point. Any serious lyricist/poet will have words that only work in the context of their own piece. This piecemeal approach will generate a song that is a patchwork, potentially gibberish. Would have been better to open the contest to a total lyric submission of a whole song..

    Great idea Kina ,

    But in practical terms doomed to artistic muddle.

  • @Dustypilgrim1 glad one person understood. :D

  • Comment removed

  • awww i was on vaycay when this video came out. and now round 1 is done. that's ok. i'll post what i WOULD'VE submitted anyway seeing as how i created it and have nowhere to use it. like a napkin left at a coffee house, read it before you throw it out :)

    I am standing with each foot on either side

    Swaying back and forth between what's wrong and right

    I have never had to make it count it almost always just works out

    But this moment's frozen waiting to take flight

    ...and scene...

  • Which brings me back to my submission: Keep it as it is Kina!!: "Verse with no lyrics", your wordless sung feelings are really really beautiful Kina, as you are.

    You couldn't possibly go through all of these submissions, and your decision is the only one that counts - especially given the "popularity" thread. We met in SF, hope you are staying centered on tour! B

  • woah people, lay off kina! she's on tour!! chill out.

  • Rated-G?

  • You already have lyrics:

    Na nana annanan nanan

    nana nanann anan ana

    nanan nanan nananana

    nannannananan na na

    nana nan nananna na

  • I have tried and tried , done all the linkings and account adjustments asked for. and nothing,

    sorry kina , this just is not working in any fair way.

    If you follow through on this process as it is working (so badly) you will be dumping on a lot of loyal fans. All of whom were enamoured with the prospect of writing with you. As it is I cannot avoid the feeling you do not really read your emails.

  • @Dustypilgrim1 Have you tried creating a new account ? I had the problem of being asked for a nickname and couldn't get it to work. Creating a new account solved the problem. BTW isn't it "enamoured of " ? Just asking. LOL

  • @staygulf83

    Thanks , but I went to have another go today , and the facility to post was closed down...so looks like its a crash and burn type thing for me...

  • @Dustypilgrim1 Too bad !! The "competition" has now closed. But presumably if you create a new account you'll be up and ready to post lyrics for the other verses and chorus.

  • idk wts wrong but i cant post on the moderator...

    it says '*You must provide a nickname'

    anyone knows wts wrong? :(

  • @chiuyinlam130 Had the same problem. I created a new account and managed to post from that account. But still can't post from this account. Obviously something wrong with the moderator program somewhere.

  • @staygulf83 :( thanks for the reply though :)

  • Comment removed

  • Whatever you sing will be beautiful. Im even fine with the "na's, da's, and the oh". Still listening to "stairwells" everyday after work. Thank you! (^_^)

  • i wonder if we write rap lyrics, if she will rap them....that would be AWESOME!

  • @EmilyCoryn nope. rapping them would would be a waste of a beautiful voice and a huge talent.  Kina is a musician not some apology for a shoddy street poet.

  • me gusta el estilo con que tocas y cantas tienes mi voto y mas si pudiera

  • ...Please vote for IamRafe! :D ...

  • Beautiful lyrics gabs. Hope someone sees em. 

  • Some of us can't submit our lyrics because it says we need to give a nickname, even though we already have! So I'm going to take a chance and post it here:

    As you hold my hand, it's not so hard to think,

    Let's go catch this leaky boat and let it sink.

    Oooh, we'll go with the flow and just surrender, life's not set in stone.

    We can't fear the things we'll never face alone.

  • Kina, we some of us can't submit our lyrics. :(

    For me, it says I must enter a nickname, but I did!

    This is so not fair, I hope YouTube gets this module thing to work soon,

    someone might have really really good lyrics but won't have a chance to get it looked at!

  • @GabsSalonga i had that problem too, but I made a new account and it worked :) dunno what the problem was :S

  • i love u u are so pretty!!

  • I can't wait to hear this song with lyrics and everything. I love that melody. No really, I love it! It sounds so pretty already and I love soft songs like that. I can't wait to hear the real thing. :-) Good luck with the lyrics.

  • Who is Kina?

  • I posted direct on here as the detailed moderator box on the h'page just isn't working properly. I have posted repeatedly and nothing shows.

  • (v 1 main melody ) They say that if we seek then we shall find they say that, pain is just a state of mind, they say to lose is better. than having nothing to recall. and that time will make us whole and let all heal, (v2) Who writes best , the bleeding poet or the thief , who drinks deepest, from the welling pool of grief, ohhh'ahh'ohhh who sends the young upon a darkling dance, while their elders darkly grieve. their face a mask.set hard, so we'll all yet believe.
  • @Dustypilgrim1 You should definitely put this in the moderator ! Its awesome !

  • @yammieguitar1813 Thanks a lot... I tried , several times...linked accounts, re regoistered , I just don't think  that bit of 'tube wroks right yet . I must have tried to load it via the 'mod at least four times.

    I tried to post the whole lyric I wrote on here , but not enough space and I didn't want to flood kina's messages with my posts.

  • @yammieguitar1813 also the fvoting on here seems to work weird. Not long ago , ot was a lead post with 22 posts. Suddenly it is off poll postion and down to 15 votes...How does that work.

  • @Dustypilgrim1 did u write this ?

  • @Curtsyfication

    yes.

    If you have seen it anywhere else ,

    tell me where I need to go all sony music/AFKAP on it. :)

  • @Dustypilgrim1 eh...how about:

    i turned off the light inside my head...

    turned down the covers and crawled into darkness

    your voice sputters off like your battery's dead

    this isn't a crime so there are no witnesses...

  • LOVE YOUR EYES

  • through a looking glass i found us sitting here

    because it's hard to see, when love is so unclear, ohh

    our dangling feet they touch while the wind dries our salt filled tears

    searching hard for answers as the sun escapes our view

  • Obama sucks

  • @musichristopher Yep, she's a dc.

  • Another corporate bimbo.

  • I can't hear what she's saying, I can only hear the song in the background :(:(:( and the song she sings at the end of the video...

  • Sun is coming down to the shore line,

    At this time, I will be yours, you will be mine.

    Many hours together will be since that sunset spent,

    We will be extremely happy at the end.

  • Like tiny bits of glass scattered in the sand

    My heart was shattered and it wasn't coming back

    And then you came along and you picked up every piece

    Darling only and angel could bring my heart back to me

  • Comment removed

  • Im sorry, what were you saying? I was too busy staring into your eyes:]

  • 1 If you knew it all along would you let me know

    2 Would you let it grow where no one else could go ohh ohh

    3 I know we have to turn the pages but what if we just stayed

    4 Who knows what kind of road our love will pave

    Joe A. Santos

  • im gunna guess u get this a lot but ur very pretty

  • thanks

  • nice nice

  • WOW Kina!!! even you jus doing a melody is breath taking YOUR AWESOME!!!

  • Every moment I stay here with you

    Helps make another dreamlike day come true

    Ohh hold me close

    I can feel your heart beating softly across mine

    As we lie under the caress of this night

    <3

  • To people still having problems, all i had to do to fix the problem was link up my google and youtube account.

  • @Anonymous1692 My accounts are automatically linked and I've still got the nickname problem.

  • @staygulf83 that's what i thought about mine too. i had to manually link them and verify it through my email.

  • i want to marry you Kina...

  • there are so many good choices, i got like 2 votes, well i totally believe in my lyrics! :)

    I guess you know how much I miss you so

    And I know I gotta learn to let you go (oohh)

    Reality's a sanctuary that you cannot escape

    I'd embrace the day if I just had some faith

  • Comment removed

  • Hey, IamRafe needs some more thumbs up! :D ...please vote for him!^^

  • kina help! i cant submit my lyrics because the moderator says i need a nickname and i put one but it just keeps saying *you must submit a nickname

  • @xgravelbearragx

    it says that for me too

  • @em1l1ja you need a googles account to apply

  • @xgravelbearragx  you need a googles account to submit

  • @xgravelbearragx Me too !!

  • life is a struggle full of obsticles trials and tribulations,and one day we all have to face them,u must stand strong with ur composier,keep ur head above water but at the same time keep ur feet on level ground.never get besides urself or walk away from the people who helped u through hard times,because along with plessure then comes pain.

  • Hi Kina. Its funny how u can make me smile instantly when i see your face :O. Keep up the good work beautiful. Love from sweden

  • sorry Kina but the system is skewed. lyrics submitted are not showing up anywhere.

    I submitted twice , your home page acknowledges '2 suggestions' , yet the lyrics show nowhere to be voted on. That means any result you get is a false one.

    Seems like it is happening to plenty of others as well.

  • I remember when you had me at hello,

    How you melt my heart with ease and I just glow (oh..),

    I’ve fallen so hard for you my baby,

    You’re the answer to my prayers,

    You’re my valentine, my soul mate, my best friend.

    Please vote for me!!!!!

  • I love your music so much Kina...Your voice simply melts me away..

    Your Love song is such a great song...I think it is so beautiful.. What a wonderful work..God Bless you so much ox

  • In the future, it might help if Kina and the people who are working with her on this wonderful project could make it even more wonderful by posting a copy of the music with no vocals, for those like myself who wish to sing their lyrics but can't play guitar.

  • OH da da da da da da da

    dada da da da da da doo

    dada dada da da da da da da da dada

    da da dada da da dada da da da do

  • Do you see the stars that crash upon the moon?

    Spreading the light that makes me look at you... oh and

    When you sweetly smile across your face

    I think to myself

    "I would never want to be in a different place"

    :]

  • hey kina!! i couldn't get the moderator to post my lyrics. i hope you enjoy!!

    It was Wednesday and I’m alone inside / Counting ceiling tiles to wash the morning light, away / I remember it well you were my lover, graze my arm and I'll awake / Adjacent walls are all I have to be safe

  • since moderator won't work, i guess i'll submit my lyrics here...

    All these wonders, I can see them in your eyes |

    But to capture them for light like fireflies |

    Would dim all the hues of beaming magic; as much as it sounds cliche |

    There's a time when we must let them fly away

    check my channel for the video!

  • The melody don't speaks to me :o! I can't find lyrics on this song, and I assure you, I always can. I'm surtenly not bad at it, and I don't say that to talk big... But I like the lyrics of @demonyny a lot!

  • I've tried to post my lyrics multiple times, but I keep having issues with it accepting them. It keeps telling me to put in a nickname, but I DID put in my username. Help?

  • @WordWeaver81 same thing happens here! let me know if you figure it out.

  • @WordWeaver81 Snap ! Can't figure it out. How have all these other people done it ?

  • @WordWeaver81 SAME. i have no idea what to do and it's making me really mad! i want to submit mine :(

  • Like others the moderator does not seem to have worked for my lyrics. I posted them , but so far they don't appear to have shown anywhere...

  • for some reason the moderator's not working for me to post my lyrics and vid. anyone else having this problem??

  • We all know that this co-write voting is completely stacked - The most popular people are the ones that actually have subscribers, whereas everyone who doesn't have a following will end up drowning in the tide of vote-downs from rabid fans of those same popular artists. There are some good lyricists amongst the people who contributed who don't deserve to be down in the voting count. Anyhow, I hope Kina herself will pick someone who deserves to actually win-than just by this bs popularity vote.

  • @SomeCrazySupport i just sent my 2 cents in..but im tipsy..but i think my flow was legit...u go see? and evaluate? ...i apologize if you might need to go see an optometrist after cuz the lyrics are so damn hot, shining, and blinding. = )

  • Comment removed

  • PLEASE BRING KATE McGILL TO YOUR TOUR DATE IN TORONTO!!! LOL

  • i actually made sheet music for kina's verse on the computer, but i dont know how to make a video of it...! any advice?

  • @DestinyQx Get a camera and record a video? 

  • I think its kinda crap that you have to creat new accounts and all that just to submit a lyric. shure i love you kina your awsome. but i just dont have the time right now.. im sorry. altho i wish you all the best.

  • @jollybob666 then why waste the time u don't have by posting a comment?

  • Forget eveything else...i think im in love...

  • Little lately, well, I've felt a little down/

    And I think it's time to think of leaving town/

    The ocean's edge is where I'm heading - hoping that the tide is high/

    Gonna make my sadness swim until it drowns...

  • when an island hurts it feeds its soul with hope

    when an island hurts simply wants to love u more

    i know ,it can be trueand i can really traced it...

    traced it back to u

  • @ADOPTmeBITCH this may sound silly, but just know it's coming from a non-technical person, so please forgive me if it sounds condescending, but are you guys sure you're posting on the Kinagrannis channel page, right under the valentine video in the box where is says: "What's your suggestion?"? It took me a while to figure out where to post, but then again...

  • do i suck?

  • @AyanaFeliz That's where I'm trying to post. You have to put in a nickname and location, which I do, but it still says "you must enter a nickname"

  • @staygulf83 omg, that doesn't even sound like anything I had to do. With me, it just said sign in first, then I did...I'm sorry...sucks.

  • @staygulf83 same for me :(

  • ***Is anyone having problems with submitting their entry? Every time I try t hit submit, it says I 'must provide a nickname' despite the fact that I've already filled all the lines.

  • @ofcarbonatoms Same here. Been trying for days. Don't know what the problem is or how all these other submissions have got round it. If you find out post here please.

  • @staygulf83 Thanks for replying to me, and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I'm bummed it's not working! I even had a friend do it from his computer and it didn't work for him, either. Agh.

  • Having trouble voting. I can only see the most recent videos and lyrics. HELP!

    Since I've realized how I felt for you

    Oh, it seems like now I'm blind

    I've been lost my mind

    But it looks like love is not enough

  • Well, I finally figured out the moderator thing, however, it sync'd it up with an account I thought I deleted a while back. Weird. Just fyi :)

  • @Chaly2na ha, what'd you do to get it to work?

  • nice melody... will keep updated, kina... cool!

  • =_) almost cried just listening to the melody...DANG IT!!

  • interacting with your fans, thats so awesome!

    if youre coming to australia anytime soon holla!

  • Kina, you are amazing. The feeling you put into what you sing, whether it be your personal works or those of others, is inspiring. You have a beautiful voice and are a beautiful person. I can definitely see this working for you, so keep it up.

    :D

    Sorry for this not being relevant.

  • Apparently there are tons of people just too stupid to follow simple instructions.

  • wash all your sins away from yesterday

    lift your wings to winds so fast and fly...so far away

    drop all your love to crash upon me

    and give me your pain that terrifying

    cause this life we live wasn't ment to be this hard

  • now I can´t wait to see you again, let meet us very very very soon oh..

    Yes i need you please make it sure i need somebody to love and i know that its not easy

  • @mshells06 on her account page. right under the description of one of her videos. it will say something like, "comments and suggestions"

  • moderator isn't working :(

  • @LiveRainbow me neither... i really want to post a lyric, though... :(

  • check out KoreanFlow! His lyrics are amazing!

    Check out what I'm doing, musically, at sharonmathai. com :)

  • If you knew the pain that I feel when you do. would you wipe your tears and start to act untrue. ooh. and what if you knew I truly loved you, for the reason you are you. Would you shed your tears or try to act anew (restart melody) If I show you what my secerets really are. would you try to close the distance when you're far. ooh. but what if you stop showing emotions and you lift your head above. Would I lose the very person that I love.
  • The melody don't speaks to me :o! I can't find lyrics on this song, and I assure you, I always can. I'm surtenly not bad at it, and I don't say that to talk big... But I like the lyrics of @demonyny a lot!

  • @demonyny wow i really like the lyrics hope it get choose. 

  • @saephanvern go to the page and vote, it's there. good luck finding it though.

  • @demonyny LOVE these lyrics - you should make sure that you're actually in the running because she made a comment in her video about not replying to this video, but using the moderator found on her homepage

  • @jessstrellita I already put it there, but it does not fit.

  • @demonyny post it in her moderator

  • hey srry I'm posting this here also but because of the limited amount of text i can put in I decided to rewrite it, here plus i can get everyone's direct trolling ... i mean replies XD

  • wHAT a cutie, damn.

  • I wanna show you all that i have in me

    But I am afraid and these wounds run too deep

    please come and hold me close

    for this is the only way i feel whole

    There's not another I could love I know
