  • This song is amazing and your amazing. I have been looking for a song like this about my crush forever and you just did it. keep it up. your inspiring!! <3

  • AMAZING. YES!

  • You are amazing girl, I love your lyrics.

  • I've been waiting to buy your music. Glad to finally get the opportunity. Thanks for always being awesome Reina!

  • YOU GUYS SHOULD RECORD, "WONDER" on your 2012 album! COME ON! it's the best one!

  • FINALLY!! but why not Emily!?

  • Finally, Reina...........finally.......­..Yes

  • I've been waiting for years... you are truly talented and I will go old school and get the CD :)

  • OMG! I love your music!!! I'm so happy you are finally on iTunes and finally have a cd :D

  • you're so amazing! why am i just now finding out about you........ :O :O

  • I've always thought that every person that played the ukelele was adorable. You confirmed it

  • Your EP is wonderful. You are a very talented artist and deserve lots of success

  • she is kinda... overrated. Well i cant sing and im not jealous or anything. Just my honest opinion. Cause there is so many incredible singers in youtube. Even her songwriting.. I guess she is more for the literature ppl huh..

  • "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a superb song, must be in want of a studio."...apologies to Jane Austen.

    Having inadvertently heard one of the most astonishing melodies and lyrics from a songwriter in decades only for the download to be withdrawn, I am left wondering, when oh when am I going to hear the finished recording? Produced properly 'Pretty Lie' will put Reina Del Cid on the list of the world's great songwriters.

  • @mrratchild, if you are referring to the  live performance of this song I accidentally posted on my channel, Reina threatened to scratch my eyes out and they weren't even itchy. Seriously though, through a prior agreement with Reina, I wasn't to post any songs she had not her self uploaded. I joke, but for some interesting trivia the MMPI that is administered world wide was developed right here. An early unsuccessful version of this test was the MFOMFM or Many Faces of Mr. Fu Manchu

  • I enjoy this new song on your CD very much….but watching you sing it in this video adds so much to the feelings I receive from the lyrics and its melody. Thank you for this neat video performance….and the natural playful moments....

  • I'm so very happy for you Reina ! :) Thumbs up ! Sure hope to get my hands on that CD ... let's see if they can ship it to Romania :D

    Cheers,

    Nico

  • Your very talented, i like your music very much. I've been a lyricist and poet for 5 years, and your music i find inspiring... thank you.

  • you did not look the jacket. you have not noticed in this video as Reina has matured. why you talk to her as a friend? She uses a photographer, she creates a band with excellent musicians, for why ? Just for the fun ? You really think that ? she hopes to make a reputation in her town as a good musician. It might be time for you to understand her ambition.

  • @Sosthene57, I am hoping the best for Reina. I did ask Reina for permission to take video of her performances, so obviously, she'd not be beholden to me for anything. My channel got about 10,000 extra video views from Reina del Cid videos, about 2.7 percent of my total video views, and if I took away 10,000 views from Reina's channel, that apparently still leaves her with 5,040,320 views. From straight up percentages, I got the best benefit from videos of Reina and band. Reina is a friend.

  • @GregoryLog I wanted to express something, but I was clumsy. forget this, GregoryLog. I wish you a nice week end. Peace !

  • And she can not make a cd with all these songs. Otherwise how she will earn money ? Reina is a star. Reina was born to be a star. And to last in this business, it requires creativity. And she needs to keep her songs in order to use them wisely at the right time.

  • wow! I am surprised that someone read my comment. usually people think I'm crazy. Also ... yes yes you're right. So sing with me : It's a jungle out there / Disorder and confusion everywhere / No one seems to care / Well I do / Hey, who's in charge here? / It's a jungle out there / Poison in the very air we breathe/ Do you know what's in the water that you drink?/ Well I do, and it's amazing / People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time / If you paid attention, you'd be worried too /

  • You better pay attention / Or this world we love so much might just kill you / I could be wrong now, but I don't think so! / 'Cause there's a jungle out there. / It's a jungle out there (Monk theme)

  • Indeed it is not a grammatical rule, but rather a rule of politeness, propriety, of a mark of respect to cite in second when talking about a person and ourself. I do not know if this rule is for you. But in France this rule is used ... although some people do not know. Personally I find it vulgar to mention ourself first. In this video you say : '' if you want to support me and James ... '', and equally in your song ''Lets begin'', the second verse starts: '' Here we are, just me and you ''.

  • But what do I know!? I always thought those people eating their finger food at fast food restaurants were the snooty, hoytie toytie type. I just scarf up the food off the plate with my mouth and my fingers stay clean. Seriously though, I am a total slob. Reina did mention in her 5 facts video she was an only child. I am not sure that plays into this or not, but I thought I'd throw that out there to look a little less biased towards Reina in this.

  • I suspect that you have made​this choice for the rhyme. I just say this thing to awaken your attention to this detail. And feel free to correct my english too.

  • Reina forgets the courtesy to mention her name after that of James. I am horrified. I believed all this years that she was so human.

    Good luck with your folk/bluegrass/country/ band. :/

    James rocks ! and he is the only one with you can do something of awesome.

    An acoustic album ? oh no ! I will say that to Charlotte now.

  • How long will I need to wait for you to ship to the UK? I ordered via PayPal on 27 Oct 11. Thanks Reina. Bill x

  • you were virtual, and your CD is an intrusion in my life real. alala ... I type in my hands when the drum starts during the song ''the sound of you'', I make leaps in my room and in the end I start to cry. my father asks what's going on. ahaha ... and I say no! no! all is well! I just listen Reina del Cid (the girl from america that i tell him in fact )

  • Hi,

    I didn't know you record an EP ! Congratulations that's good news for you. you deserve this :-)

    i knew you some years ago thanks to the song "come back over". I was totaly amazed by it

    im glad you made it :-)

    i ll let you know what i think about the EP.

    keep it up

    Kris

  • Re : about the tree of life. In fact the similarities are in the part between 18th and 23rd minutes to fade out on the birth of the sun. Especially when Mrs. O'Brien (Jessica Chastain) is located in a forest and begins to look at the sky. The next scene shows beautiful images of a hypothetical genesis of space accompanied by beautiful music

  • , and Ms. O'Brien whispers to God her sadness as if she spoke to his dead son (she said : answer me), also I was reminded of your song ''edge of the universe''. This should be clearer. In any case I advise everyone to watch this film.

  • Congrats, girl, and I'm so flippin' glad to see you with an EP out! I've been listening to you foreva', and I love your writing. I, along with everyone else, would also really dig hearing an acoustic/rawer EP with all of your songs, but from the previews, this is still really awesome. I will definitely buy it in support! :)

  • *** you should put forward ''edge of the universe'' because ... Reina? - do you read me ? ... put highlight '' edge of the universe''... I say ... because ... Malick ... you know? The Tree of Life? You have probably heard of ...? Malick has created a masterpiece of cinema. And there are troubling similarities with your song and this movie. Echoes ... if! if! This film is the first masterpiece of the 21st century. So ... I say that, I say nothing... blabla ? or not ?

  • I ordered your CD and received it today, Nov.1st. I am one happy dude. I love everything about the first track "Let's Begin"…..the lyrics are great, I love music and the way it is arranged, the mandolin fit in so well, the drums were subdued allowing more musical base….and of course the clear sound of your voice was the main reason for this purchase. My hope is that this tracks makeup and arrangement will be used often in your CD's.....and I will always enjoy your guitar...

  • I'm a fan of acoustic music, but I also feel a bit bad about these unplugged album requests. In case you're reading this, James, you're an awesome musician and you did a great job, and even though our tastes are a world apart I can appreciate that. Congrats to both you and Reina!

  • i love the CD and everything but... this is more like it

    if anybody is interested (and with reina's expressed consent of course) i have full song mp3's saved of virtually every youtube video this great young artist has ever released. i have no problems with sharing, so message me for details...

    anyway, i have a feeling the fans will be much more pleased with future efforts from the Reina del Cid band than this James Wetzel collab. & thats church yo

  • The long wait for a CD is finally over. I really like the title song. You and James did a great job with the new arrangements on your four previously recorded songs. I agree with SenorCrushMan about not worrying about all the requests for acoustic versions and producing an unplugged full length CD in the future. Getting used to change, as with the new arrangements on these 4 songs, is normal. I am confident that bigger things are in store for you in the not too distant future.

  • lol well go to hear it!!! congratulations!

  • The new EP is just lovely. Hope to hear lots more in the future!

  • sent here by James Wetzel, you're dope! Keep rocking!

  • When you have time can you put all your songs on itunes? :)

  • I truly admire your songwriting skills. You're amazing :)*

  • So nice tune! And....

    Congratulations, Reina!!!!

  • Nice, Reina...Your are driven to succeed!!!

  • ♥♥

  • WAHEY!! Go Reina!! :D

  • REINA! It is a pleasure to be able to give you some money. Your music rocks.

  • Congratulations Reina!

    I've been a fan since I saw your cover of Swallowed in the sea years ago

    Can't wait to buy your CD

  • O My God this is so COOL!!! :-D Ordered your cd (the physical version, since I am highly allergic to iTunes, WMP, WinAmp and stuff like that) Can't wait to till it arrives!

    Thank you so much for the great music!

    Greets from Holland

    David

  • COOL!!! Gongrats Reina! Dave

  • I just limped all the way upstairs on my messed up knee to get my debit card to buy this.

  • I hope you like sleeping in the hotel ... because you are going to travel now ... soon soon ... haha ! ,D

  • Congratulations.You´re Great. :-)

    I Think you are on the right way :-)

  • Like that shirt your wearing. Looks good on you.

  • Bravo RDC. I think it's great that you've put ANY of your music out there for the masses. Savvy move that you are eventually going to get your band involved also. I wouldn't worry too much about all the requests for acoustic versions. That can always come in the form of RDC unplugged....a full length cd in the future. In the meanwhile do whatever you feel is going to be in your best interest. Your talent and skillful songwriting will take you as far as you care to go...super future...good luck!

  • I LOVE YOU

  • Just purchased the album via paypal. Looking forward to it.

  • Have you tried getting onto DFTBA records?

  • Congrats again, Reina! I'm really happy that you have a CD now. You totally deserve it. You're an amazing and beautifully effective artist. You're one of my favorites out there, truth be told. Your lyrics and tune in your music just make me feel warm inside. Not many singers could make me feel that way. I just love your songs and I'm hoping you'd make an album and add "Wonder" and "Kindness (Cypress Tree)." Besides the ones from your EP, those are my favorites. Looking forward to your next CD!:)

  • Guess ships where on my mind….meant "fandom"….sigh.

  • This video shows some reasons why I adore this performer. I feel like her #1 fan….something not uncommon throughout her fanship ;).

  • Congratulations for you new CD

  • definitely glad i just ordered this :D (the second you gave the website name i opened a new tab and ordered a CD :))

    hope you autograph it :D

  • Mr. Pinata is my favorite! :D I am so putting this EP on my Christmas list.

  • Awesome....Love your music.....my only question is why "Wonder" is not on this.....My favorite song by far...so much passion in that song....it stops me in my tracks everytime I hear it.

  • Yeah! Toni Rocks!

    

  • How do I get a signed copy?!! Congrats!!!!

  • This is a really nice song, Reina!

  • natürlich sofort bestellt !!!!!!!

    Weiter so ReinaDelCid =)

  • Congratulations! I truly wish you great success!

  • woohoo XD

  • Love it! Congrats Reina... I knew the day would come around. Jam on...

  • I subscribed to you back in Aug 2008 and have been watching your music ever since. I am proud of you for recording your CD, keep on moving forward and stay true to your music : ) Side note, your music helped me when I transferred to a new college in 2008, helped get rid of the homesick feeling and left me with a positive attitude and smile in my heart. 

  • Having listened to all the songs, I have to say over-all I'm pretty impressed. There are a few issues I feel with the quality of the mixing/mastering (though Mr. Pinata is a HUGE exception, it's mixed/mastered/played/recorded perfectly), specifically I feel there was very little done to alter the raw vocal tracks, which can be heard compared to some pretty heavy work on the music tracks. I commented individually on the songs any specific things I thought.

    Overall, amazing job! Goodluck!

  • i love it!

  • ive got an idea, what about, i give u the finger, ..I., and u give me my fuking phonecall?

  • @flexord I have an idea ... I give you my fist ... and you show me your face ... and I hit you so hard that you are going to piss all your whole blood.

    Thumbs down

  • @flexord Hey, that's MY LINE!

  • Poetic Genius better be in the EP

  • It's about time.

  • about time

    

  • Even though I'm stuck with so much work at my office, this song makes the workload not that bad.......

  • Congrats.

    -Dennis

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHH NICE FINALLY !!!!

  • Its been awhile since I've listened to you and I forgot how beautiful your voice is and much I've missed the music you create!!!!

  • me gusto mucho, besos!!!

  • I've always enjoyed your videos, and your voice just so relaxing and peaceful.

    I can't explain it, but I love listening to you sing. :)

    Because of that, I'll buy the CD.

    I wish you guys the best. Take care! :)

    Oh, and you look pretty awesome on the CD jacket, like a bad ass, an attractive bad ass. Yeah, laters! ^_^

  • ordered it ! acoustic album would be great

  • ordered 

  • OMG! just bought it!! :D so exciting! LOOOOOOOOVVVEEEE ITTTT!!!!

  • Creepy attic! LOL Great job on the cd!

  • Love it! You are a breath of fresh air! 

  • Love them all! gotta say i wish there was also a more intimate, less built up version available too, like an acoustic one or something. still love it <3

  • Thank you!!! I have been a HUGE fan for about a year now and i'm so excited to listen to this! Congratulations and good luck on your future music. Is there anywhere that you post you upcoming gigs? I would love to come see you live sometime.

  • @MasterOvCreation Upcoming appearances are listed on reinadelcidmusic(dot)com/Calen­dar.

  • @hdsrv Great! Thank you!

  • I was waiting for this since the second you early-posted the songs on reinadelcidtalk :) I hope that your other songs like "Expiration Date" come out too as singles! Just release them as is! My girlfriend and I did dances when I told her that your EP was out <3

  • Just bought my copy via PayPal !!! Really excited to receive it. Thanks Reina. More please?

  • Bought it on iTunes. You literally just made my day! So excited!!!!

  • Really Excellent News, Just Purchased Thru Paypal. Love that you used

    that Photo for the Back Cover. I would think it would be the most favorite among your Fans. Certainly hope that the Song I consider your Finest "Edge of the

    Universe" will be included on your Full CD. Still the One I believe will always

    be my favorite " Goodbye Butterfly" I somehow doubt will be included

    until Sometime around 2025 when your Boxset is released.

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..i love it! i always look so forward to hearing u ! congrats! always knew u had it in u and that u could go far...stay true to ur heart!

  • I downloaded The Sound of You from iTunes. It's really nice, but I feel the drums are too much for that song. That song was perfect without the other stuff. I feel you should've gone for a more intimate recording style, as I feel that's what suits your music, or at least that song. You know, just a little critique on the recording style, take it with a grain of salt, as I've only listened to the one song. Congratulations on releasing your EP. :)

  • Just bought the CD! Can't wait for it to get here.

  • Is that a Mainland ukulele? I love my Mainland!

  • wonder, burn out and sell nature are my favorites. not on ep! =/

  • I've missed you! Downloading it now:)

  • Love it, need some new strings yet?

  • Can't wait to buy it!

  • .....day just made...well done

  • Considering that I've never met you, I'm way too excited for you! :)

  • Congrats! be sure to stop by singapore when you get round to doing a world tour

  • Bought. Particularly like the recording of 'New Girlfriend' - always been my favourite of your songs.

    Congrats on your first CD!!

  • You're absolutely glowing!

  • When I read the title "EP on iTunes now," I immediately went there and bought the thing. I listened to the whole EP a few times now. Great song selection, nice production, and lovely vocals. "Let's Begin" is also a great new tune. After four years, we can finally listen to some professional recordings. I'm looking forward to a full-length album from you!

  • New girlfriend came out so great

  • great work Reina!

  • i would get physical if it were on vinyl, but i find cds to be a waste

  • YAYYYYYYYYYYY !!!! I LOVE you and your music. Off to buy it - seeya!

    Melissa xxxx

  • congratz ;) been with you quite some time ;p 2-3 years? Will try my best to scratch some money together!

    (bought for 5.97 euros via Paypal ^^) Pascal from France

  • The second I am no longer beneath the poverty line and living on stomach lint, i', buying this!

  • @starryblueorange You Should probably sell your computer for food then :/

  • Finally!! Been listening and recommending your video's for years and years since I heard kindness (cypress tree) warms the heart! Also huge fan of library girl :) even recommended some of your video's for ellen's show! I'll be sure to buy it thank you for finally coming out with the CD! If you could get those two songs on somthing someday a humble request but love them! THANK YOU!

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you for the CD. Congratulations and may your journey fulfill all your dreams.

  • So glad you finally did this. Big congratulations. It's been great watching your

    lyrical skills develop over the past three years or so. You've developed into a really excellent songwriter. In one of his Live from Daryl's House episodes Daryl

    comments on how songwriters are really the heart of music making.

  • congrats on the cd and itunes, that's awesome!

  • Great song! congratulations on the CD! 

  • wow! Ive been a fan for few years now and even though I'm just gonna put the songs on my mp3, I'm gonna buy the physical copy right now...just cause it looks awesome.

  • oops, never mind my comment about Amazon... It's there.

    It showed up when searching your name, but not on the first page when searching for the album title. D'oh!

  • P.S.

    Google search for "Reina del Cid" yields:

    "About 653,000 results"

    :-)

  • CongraTz!

    I downloaded from iTunes (sorry it's not on Amazon... love MP3s), then I learned you had a disk EP... so that baby's gonna be in the mail too... for my unworthy car's CD player.

    The tracks are awesome, as expected by any old timer. Kudos to The Jamez, too, of course!

    As another commenter suggested, you can also do additional tracks that are more purely acoustic... maybe just a guitar and voice.  Julie C has put out different versions of the same song.

    And of course, put out more songs!

  • Yes, more band posts please!

    Also, love this song ^_^

  • Been a fan for almost all four of those years. Love ya. It is people like you that inspire me to keep on playing, because i love to play. I still love your eyebrows. :)

  • Glad to see you've been busy, Reina.

  • Love it will have to get on cd when i can would love to see more of ur own songs on more cd's as i know alot of us would so way to go have fun hope to see one of ur gigs some time

  • Glad you have a CD now!!!

  • Damn! After a few years being a a fan now I can buy your songs on iTunes! :D Congratulations!

  • Absolutely nothing silly about that neat little love song…..wish there were more gals that thought the same way….and it would be great if I knew one of them somewhat closer to my age ;). I am so happy to finally see your 1st CD for sale!

  • Dude this is great news! Been missing your vids! I'm glad I subbed so I saw this announcement.  Gonna get my copy on payday.

  • NICE!! :) It's going to be played in my house regularly :)

  • great job

  • Bought it! So happy!

  • OMG! I literally just checked your page today, heard this song, fell in love with you all over again. You're lyrics are awesome, and if you ever want a backup singer, hit me up! You. Are. Genius! <3<3<3

    Love,

    Keila
