I am always amazed at how you use things that are not usually thought of as instruments to make some incredible music. The world is your oyster girl go and take it!
This video has a certain "American Gothic" je ne sais quoi... the visual of you sitting there straight-faced, side-by-side on a folk print patterned couch with the Hokusai print on the wall behind you. Unintentional art is the greatest kind.
I'm really sorry but I lol'd at just your staring at through the camera. You're like "Hmmmmmm, peanut butter and jelly or jellyfish jell on a Krabby Patty?" :D
I never really have seen "famous" youtubers comment back on their comments so could you comment back on this one? thank you(: I love your music and everything you and just to know you take the time to write a silly little comment back means alot(: thank you<3 your talent is mesmerizing

This video reminds me of that painting with the austere looking farming couple and a pitchfork. Is it called 'American Gothic' or was that just a TV show?
Dear sweet and lovely song crafters, you should consider living next door to me. If you do, so much fun and warm desert humor will ensue. Either way, thanks for the sticky melodies.
I think I realized how upset I looked in the beginning of the video and overcompensated by looking a little bit too amused. Face is not my strong area.
Heh, I understand what you mean quite well. You explained in one of your 'FAQ' video that you make faces. It seems that many musicians are, including me with my own interesting tweaks and scrunches. Anyhow, I loved this video.
I do the same thing. Only I have a tendency of constantly closing my eyes and totally never paying attention to what my face ( that has a mind of it's own) is doing.
I do that all the time. Like I'll do something, or express what I'm thinking on my face, so then I have to make it look like I wasn't; and I always overdo it. Yeah.
I was trying to figure out why this sounded so familiar. I just put on Bright Eyes and realized... They first few second of singing here parallel "Train Under Water," when the song picks up a bit after one minute in.
God, I love youtube. To think all this wonderful music would have died in people's loungerooms if we had to rely on record companies and radio stations to get it to us. I'm off to subscribe to Benjamin now as this is a really great song :)
Great duo. Great chemistry. I think you two should do more music together. I was(am still) a big fan of both Steve Tannen and Deb Talan before they became The Weepies. I've been blown away by what they do together. Their shows have such an intimacy and warmth. You two have that. Do more!
I really love this song and both of your voices, the only thing I would (humbly) suggest is maybe just opening your mouth a little more while singing, Lauren.
So as I was watching it seemed like Mr Morey's voice was coming from you so for half the video I tried to pretend that your voices had been switched around. ^_^
I truly enjoy the legitimacy of your music. The honesty is palatable. I don't understand the stoic faces. Are you really uncomfortable showing yourselves? If it's an act, what message do you think it's sending? I wish I could "get it." Marius
Hey guys. everything is so good: the colors, the sound, the grins, the fish, the amplifyer, the toothpaste: it all matches with the wallpaper and mingles towards a warm pool of ART....!!!! So nice....!!!!
I like it!:)
