13 Year Old's Falling Slowly (Glen Hansard/Once) cover/video

[Kythepianist]

Lol, not to bad if I say so myself.

[sushi2502]

I am not americain nor English and I does not take course of guitar =) I think that you too

[sushi2502]

I am 13 years old also I play as you but me makes the arpeggio.I like your video =)

[naomifaith93]

that was amazing! u did a great job with this song. the editing was amazing. and i love how u personalized it. great job!

[mlodyustka1]

i dont want to say it but i dont like it and its too fast and ur voice is creepy

[orlandomei]

In my opinion you are a true artist.

I'm a 37 year old and I look at your pictures and I just hope one day I can see the world with the eye of...

Just the eye of a child again.

[mayasflower1993]

very nice...! check my songs please!

[SchattenfuXx]

Very nice video! Got a talent for that! The singing was not bad, but I didn't like it really.

[SiDChik]

OMG. PsihoWorld. It's blow my brain.

[semiunconscious]

this scared the crap out of me. it's probably the double voice thing. like someone else said, it sounds like it's out of a creepy movie. good guitar though.

[injoelsarmy27]

Not to be a confidence killer, creepy is defiantly the word...

[waje22]

holy crap it's olivia from flickr

[jdkjkjdkjdks]

sucks

[Alex1994R]

Its a little creepy uhhh not diggin it byt it is too fast

[brandilynnx0o]

this is weird. it's like something you'd hear out of a creepy movie..i dont like this.

[JonnyBoyle]

I am a big fan of this cover and this video. You have taken a powerful song and made it even more special and personal, something that I admire greatly. Five stars and kudos to every person who is influencing you're life positively enough to create such beauty.

[taprates]

So so so cute!!! Linda!

[saiyajin11]

The 2nd voice sounds exactly the same, too. Really good if you did this all by yourself. Pretty pro.

[saiyajin11]

Sorry. Its pretty cool and all but its really kinda scary. And, as I found out recently, 12 string guitars aren't anything special to play with. Just has more of a solid sound.

[zoxaq]

way to fast =/ /A(

[DoubleT35]

pssh way to hit no high note you lil wannabe

[LittelAERT]

is it a duet with your self ?

if so its relly great  :)

[bakosspyr]

This is soo wonderfull!!!!! Great video also! You are so cute:)

[graceakaraven]

that's my favorite movie... probably. :)

[claireperuca]

Pretty good!

[hybridstar08]

very creative!

[hybridstar08]

brilliant!

[Domwhat]

....brilliant! good job.

[elliesaysheydude]

wow, the second voice was kinda creepy tbh, but it was a good cover .

<3 .

[LilMissRandom109]

whats with the echo voice!? its creepy.... but othr than that i loved it and you have a great style of clothes :)

[HarryAlfieHudson]

lol... That was good.. but slightly eary... good job!

[russellmagic]

good job

[ifiwasabug]

that was great!

[emingzhu]

beautiful song

[tripthelightfilm]

Since when do they make 13 year olds like this?

[tripthelightfilm]

I meant that as a good thing, thumbs downers.

[aiikedo]

talk about gross generalizations on americans over here. wow.

well anyway, many people commenting this poorly are just ignorant.

i dont even know this song, and i like this cover ;]

[ZikkyBoss]

cuteeeee

[Klara2187]

You did a great job! Ignore the negative comments..they're stupid ;)

move on! greets

[watupxxx]

why da fuck did i just wach dat?... wat a waste ov time!!

[kindoof]

ew! creppy

[isafos]

American version! :D

[Pavle94]

oh, lol, you must have looked pretty awesome walking down a street strumming a guitar

[theluscioussound]

I liked the whole thing, good job mate.

[ratfecies]

I don't know, i just found the vocal s plain creep and not my taste, like i would like to here your voice without the multiplier, but the cinematography is grade A, awesome camera angles.

[CIARALUCANUNDER14]

OMG YOUR DEADLEY

[BakkiBoo]

Try Chorus :-

C...F...Amin[instead of C here]...F!

C F Amin F :)

You Go Girl!! You're making good music at 13! Well done hun!

[koolala]

You have a great voice. Keep up the good work, and thanks for posting!

[ExAxLxPx12]

girl you are good. ignore people that tell you otherwise. i loved your interpritation of the song, you are gonna go places honey, you got style and talent!!!

[travelearboy]

this is the best interpretation i've heard. you've got a good thing going (from someone that is also 28).

[mssclarity]

Don't listen to the negative comments here - they just show how many crazy people there are on the net. This is an amazing cover - you've imprinted your own interpretation and made the song yours, which is something hugely experienced musicians have trouble doing. You have an enormous talent and a lot of soul - I can't believe I'm saying this to someone who is just starting out! - Please, please keep going with this and stick to your guns - your style rocks! (from someone who's 28)

[brucieatesammy]

you're so talented olivia! :)

[redhotpeppers48]

I like the video and all of the artsy shots, but the song was a little iffy. Keep practicing, though, and keep filming!

[TheTribeChief]

you've got skills :] keep recording

[didoma73]

i dont think whose heart strings you hope you'd pull by posting 13 year old, but give a few more years...then maybe you'll actually UNDERSTAND the lyrics

[AveMojeEgo]

lol. I got the same jacket =) wish i had such talent as you have girl ;)

[RainbowDustFairy]

You're pretty good =)

[wannabea69]

OH man....I can remember being 13 and learning to play a 12 string. Good thing the internet wasn't around, because if I heard assholes like these guys it would have cut me deep. I seriously hope that you are being blocked from all of these losers and your mom and dad are reading this FIRST. She has a real talent and is lucky gurl to, first of all have a Martin 12 string, and second to have parents that are guiding her. Wish I had that at that age!

[emeraldrocks]

contact someone about making a remake of the shining. you two could be those freaky little girls. that scared the crap out of me anyways.

[MelleLokita]

Good job with the filming! (but the song's too fast)

[ballher23]

dyour vocie(s) are okay,

but you ruind the song.

[DEADNOISEXXX]

lol stupid 13 y/olds

[YorkieAmynka]

sorry...I´m 13 too and I didn´t like it. It´s really kiddish, you don´t sing very well and the song is fast.

[icurbfaces]

Reminds of me of The Shining.

[jorisvdh]

I really liked this video, not only because you're the same age as me :D, you're good at singin too and you shouldn't listen to all the bad comments. the most of them only say it's too

kiddish for them, but not for people from you're age!

[ShaneReardon]

way way wayyy to fast

[nadaleex3]

very good video, nice singing too :)

[msmack8802]

You are very creative. I would bet that you are mature for your age! GOOD LUCK with every thing you do!

[Waterwitch38]

It's pretty with teh voices blended like that. I really like the video too!

[mrgrande]

There's something unsettling about the over-dubbed vocals.

[TopRobRoy]

Yep..too kiddish for me too and amateurish in the way the tracks have been dubbed on. Also facial expression of child is too self conscious and takes away the messeage of the song. Good try.. Try again in a couple of years and Chillout! x

[cedarlodgepearliepop]

o cool

[banana1004]

too kiddish for me...sorry

[cedarlodgepearliepop]

wow falling slowly is one of my favorite songs all the shots on the playground were really cool what kind of camera do you have? because im trying to make videos with a canon powershot elph and it sucks

[iluvuartsynerd]

i have a sony dcr pic-1000. it's nice.

[gasmath]

wow this wouldve been so much cooler if you did the high note on "time" and "Now"

[monicahxclaire]

i dont know why

but this video makes me happy

[bcbird]

I'm sorry but i'm going to have to agree on the creepy factor. The guitar sounds fine, but the double voice plus the in-proper speed are negatives.

[ITSanimeBIOTCH]

I actually really liked it. Someone said they didn't really like the multiple voices, but I actually thought that was one of the best things about it. You made it your own, and that's what's important. I am in love w/this song, so I personally thing you have great choice in music (go you ^_~) and I think the multiple voices really emphasized the meaning behind what you were trying to acomplish. Good job, hope to see more ^_~

[hectormdma]

Congrats Olivia. Keep on the right track. However, it would not be fair not to give you some feedback, coz I do believe you have talent. I loved the way you gave the song your personal touch and pace, you are experimenting with what you have at hand and that is fantastic! I have to agree with some comments on that there was no need to over-explote the effects, for you have a lovely voice. Anyway, try as many different things as you like, your 13...God!I wish as talented as you are at that age!

[easkylajaganshi]

I like your video a lot. But the multipul voices thing throws me off a little. I think it would sound a lot nicer if you just, you know, sang it without any effects on it. Still, really amazing!

[fendertele76091]

so ya this is incredible

screw anyone who says there is some flaw in this you made the song your own

but besides that this is probably one of the most artistic things i have seen from a teenager visually like ever

you have quite an eye you should deffinately persue the arts this was good

great camera angles and focus and everything

what do you shoot with??

[greendayfanholly]

i think this is really good ignore bad comments from people who dont know anything your 13 your voice will just get better and better and is already very good

[JohnWhite22422]

this is creepy but its only creepy because u suck

[iluvuartsynerd]

:( that's not very nice.

[daverod74]

@iluvuartsynerd I'm going to assume he generally isn't very nice, so don't pay him any mind. You did a great job with this. Keep it up!

[Tufty89]

JohnWhite22422, shut up.

its really good, seriuosly =]

[jkrincon]

Hello pretty lady, I gotta say I really liked your video and the editing is very good, congratulations.

[grazimj]

I suspect you had some help editing and shooting this. Either way its super impressive and you should be proud of yourself. Don't listen to idiots who criticize your voice or tempo. You made this song your own. WAY better than the karaoke videos people typically post - i.e. where they do their best impersonation of whatever singer with no creativity in th presentation. keep up the good work!

[iluvuartsynerd]

nope, i had no help whatsoever. i was bored one day and had just seen the movie and decided to do a cover, and then later to make a music video.

thank you. :)

[tinurbop]

AGREED! ;-P

[BlindTruths]

Uhm give up. You're voice is pretty mediocre. Very americanized everythings.

[iluvuartsynerd]

well thanks. :(

[chexck]

i can partialy agree with that....but i would put it this way

you made it sound really metalic. its gotta be more natural

[tro55]

ok, holy smokes, she's 13, what is the deal here bud? Who freaking cares, she sounds perfectly fine; lets see you do better!

[ratfecies]

good camera work, good song, but try singing it a little slower to when your not the singing the chorus, and the echo is kind of creepy, but otherwise great

[KatieRam]

you are a great singer as well! did you do all the instrumentation yourself, that's amazing talent!

by the way, i love this song.

[drewisleib]

This is amazing. Anyone who wants you to change anything doesn't get it. They are reincarnations of the people who told DiVinci that the Mona Lisa would be better with eyebrows and a more defined smile, or who told Kris Kristofferson that "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" was just too depressing a line. Keep rocking.

[tinurbop]

AGREED! ;-P

[DontLetGoxx]

did you do all that yourself?

that's pretty cool..

you've got a really nice voice but i'd say you could really improve it as well so keep at it! :)

[IIPURPOSEII]

creepy omg..

[deathinfinity08]

I can't believe anyone is telling you that something wasn't right in this video. Everything is perfect. It is a great interpretation of the song. Wow. I'm really impressed. If you put all that together by yourself, wow. Awesome.

[eponaswings]

Hm. The guitar was good, and I loved the video itself. However, I think you could improve your vocals quite a bit. Your voice is very breathy; try pushing more with your gut and really let the tone reverberate in your chest. Belt it, sister!

[wildbill9]

mhhhhhhh nice guitar !!!!

[seanhaugh]

Thats really good! Well done! If ya get a chance chech out my version of this song? THanks!

[WalkerDamon]

its like silent hill with indie music

[dismoiquetumaimes]

this is so cute, but the reverb is kinda creepy.

[orangecow965]

it sounds like one of those kids bop things! But a very good cover!

[danidanielle917]

Your really pretty and one of the vocal parts sounds okay, but the other sounds better, maybe you should just sing one part. Way better than what i could do. the video is amazing. you have a talent in making videos.

[hebby101]

I think I love you.

You are my hero

don't worry, I'm not a pedophile, I'm your age, but I think I love you, you're gorgeous and you have amazing talent.

[iluvuartsynerd]

haha, thanks.

[danidanielle917]

your very pretty.

[shalanebloom]

thats awesome :D:D

[japimportssuck]

Wow, Talent and looks! Great Combo! you'll make it.

nice work

[somescobe]

cool :)

[riverrat2011]

great vid...but it would have been better with just one of your voices HAHA!...great!

[iancar29]

very different .....but great ! well done !

[ungullable]

VIDEO was amazing

GUITAR PLAYING amazing

VOCALS? could have bin better !!

BUT AMAZING VIDEO ALL IN ALL

[musicforever8765]

[r0y2000]

[fuckerlump]

[fuckerlump]

[cheezsteak699]

good job!!!!!!

[vidjo08]

hahaha this isnt bad and its kinda cute..not many 13 year olds can make music like this

[mcclainx]

Cool, man. This actually sounds as if The Murmurs are covering it. Well done.

[sweettart2121]

wow this video was really cool

your pretty :)

[waz92]

This is cool, the arrangement is really interesting. And on a completely separate note, I love your ring. Thanks for posting!

[Peter50005]

[reallycoolgamer]

[Crystalguitar13]

love this! great job

[paisleythehpfan]

This is my favorite song and I love how you do it!

[pinklivy94]

pretty voice, bee

[ENandAHproductions]

sounds a little creepy when ur overlapping the harmony twice.. try making the melody a little louder.

[iluvuartsynerd]

The creepiness was kind of what I was going for.

[oilslick123]

then u did a good job.

[forevergymnast]

Oh, that was really good:)

[iluvartnerds]

how did u overlap ur voice?

[iluvuartsynerd]

Magic.

[thisisBO]

you use potatoe powers

[DitzyFilms]

Your really good! Way better then me, lol.

Btw, thanks for commenting on my video!

[SageAndBasil]

[caraboo2210]

[thisisBO]

whoah. that's awesome!!!

[balooga17]

that was amazing.

[royaltyishere4ever]

when did u make this? I dont think the song is the karaoke version is it?

[iluvuartsynerd]

I made this this weekend. What do you mean the karaoke version, exactly?

[royaltyishere4ever]

In the background Ihear someone else. Is it just the echo or the real artist?

[iluvuartsynerd]

It's me, just my echo.

[royaltyishere4ever]

oh ok
