  • Seriously, I still come back to this video to listen to this song ... Thumbs up if you think it should be put on iTunes or at least released on it's own video. Lovely song <3 :)

  • like if you are watching this in 2012!!

  • This is my favourite song. In the world. -KayleyHydeArmy

  • It is just too beautiful. That is the only way I can say it. Beautiful.

  • this song gave me the chills

  • from jackii and peter.

  • lol liane.

  • CHORDS?

    

  • @20PoundsOfBingoWings They're on her myspace. /lianeandthemusic

  • An old friend of mine died last fall; I loved this song and the book before, but they're more meaningful for me now. It's been really cathartic listening to this every once in a while. Keep being awesome!

  • great

  • Chords please? :)

  • This song is the definition of awesome

  • I prefer Hank's guitar in his, but your voice suits it so much better. Beautiful :')

  • This is honestly my favorite song ever.

  • I love looking for Alaska and love this song.(:

  • I have gone to Borders/Barnes and Noble a million times, picked up Looking For Alaska, set it down with the thought that I had to finish like seven other books first and I never noticed it was by John Green. EVER, it's ridiculous because I was watching Hayley which lead me to this, then I heard of VlogBrothers from you and Elmfy and then I remember this book that I saw that apparently this guy wrote and so yeah. Basically this means that my life is just like one big circle that just keeps going!

  • lyrics?!

  • I love this song.

  • I first heard this on So Jokes, and I'm absolutely in love with Hank Green's version, but then I found out that it was originally your song so I came over here to watch it. Yours gave me chills. No joke. Wow. So gorgeous, Liane. I think your voice really could cure AIDS.

  • Wow.

    That's all I can say.

    I've read the book five times. FIVE TIMES and just the feelings and emotions,, it's like I'm reading it for the first time again. I love the song!! You should put it like on iTunes ahaha. (:

  • this was my first 5AG video... haha so glad i found it

  • Brilliant! Your voice is so pretty!

  • this song never gets old liane

    it's beautiful

  • chordsss? :D

  • 1. This song is one of my favourite songs of all time.

    2. The Dresden Dolls are definitely amazing.

    :D

  • I still can´t believe you wrote that so quickly, its an amazing song...

  • I really love this song so much, I've listened to it loads of time. Both your version and Hank's.

  • i think the 6 people who thumb downed (?) this video must have sneezed and clicked the wrong button, cuz this song is my absolute favorite thing in the entire world, like ever, well technically Looking For Alaska is my favorite, but your a very close second. <3

  • @Thatkidonthecouch Maybe they thumbed down because it's Liane.

  • Hey, I just read the book LfA in the English lessons and it was soo awesome. I do really love it. Today my teacher showed us this song and I was neary crying cuz I was reading the last pages again and then this song - and I thought: I have to get the chords! But I couldnt find them =( can u help me? I dont think that it would sound as good as yours, but I'd really love to try to play this song.

    and I like your voice! =)

    best wishes from germany ^.^

  • I've watched this so so so many times. I watched it when it was first posted, and I still watch it almost every day. This song - and the book, don't get me wrong - get me very, very emotional. Your voice is absolutely perfect in this; it's got a great kind of raw quality and I feel like you were feeling the same emotions I'm feeling right now as you sang it. I really, really need to thank you for this, because it inspires me every time I hear it.

  • this is so amazing! brougt tears to my eyes and looking for alaska is my favorite book also

    actually harry potter is my favortie book but looking alaska is a close second :)

  • nice one :) could you gove the guitarr tabs to me ?

  • Yes, this song definately captures the mood of the book, it's hard to explain. I love it. :) You're voice is great, and Hank's cover was awesome. :D

  • that song was truely amazing. looking for alaska is my favorite book. some ppl make crappy vids about the book, but this so far has been the only one that I respect, u honored the book in a beautiful way. great job!

  • You have a beautiful voice! I love the song too, you really capture the mood of the book.

  • this made me cry, please release on itunes its just not the same with hanks voice !

  • u have a beautifal voise i liked the song twas very pleasent

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you for this song.

    That is all.

  • I had no idea you wrote this!! I LOVE this song so much, you have no idea.

  • It definitely is, and I expressed my love for it in a comment a moment ago.

    Not wanting to tarnish my love of the song, I had to push criticism off to a reply.

    Man oh MAN I like your singing voice, but Hank is much. Much. MUCH better at actually pacing his singing-- Your words and the chords never quite match, and the pacing stilts a lot.

    Regardless, a fantastic song, just had to get my daily bit of criticism out there.

  • I first heard this song as Hank's cover on So Jokes and I finally found the original! It's as good as I thought it would be.

  • I'm 8k miles away from my copy of LFA on alaskayoungday, and this is seriously the next best thing to the book. Amazing song.

  • Will this be released on iTunes?! I looove this song and I have So Jokes and I love Hanks version but I still really love it when you sing it! :D

  • It perfectly captures the spirit of the book...It could be as if Miles wrote it himself.

  • Amazing song :D

  • this is beautiful

  • i live in alaska

  • i love this book, alaska reminds me so much of my best friend, this song is great, im crying.

  • this song makes me want to cry and hug my bf lol psyco crazy much lol ^.^

  • I totally can't figure out the chords on this. I looked at the chords on your myspace, but it still doesn't sound right.

  • use a capo on the 2bd fret

  • Okay, so I completely did NOT know that my favorite song on Hank's So Jokes cd was not actually Hank's song...I feel kinda bad for that. Anyway, I love, Love, LOVE this song! It's AMAZING!!!

  • MY FAVORITE BOOK TOO!!

  • I love this. It totally caputres the sad yet beautiful text of Looking for Alaska

  • I'm doing an a'capella cover of your song for my book talk on Looking For Alaska. I hope you don't mind. I'm crediting you!

  • Watching this video it is clear you had no idea what an epic song you just created. It starts and ends like any old video but in the middle you have this beautiful work of art that has touched and inspired thousands of people. It's kind of amazing how casual you are about your creation.

  • I watched this months ago and thought this was pretty, but I just read the book and now... I started crying after the first few words. Beautiful, beautiful job, Liane.

  • This song makes me cry almost as hard as the book did. Thank you.

  • just recently finished looking for alaska.

    great song to go with a great book.

  • AWESOMENESS!!! gratz on being put onto the so jokes albem :]]] ur awesome

    go nerdfighters!

  • I love this song... You have an amazing voice!!!

  • absolutely amazing!

  • I actually love that candy bar! i wish you could get Liane singing that song on iTunes.

  • this song gives me goosebumbs but i love it ;]

  • Amazing book, amazing song, amazing voice - what's not to love? <3

  • It would be so awesome if I could play this on uke. :O

  • I love this song so so much

    I watch this video all the time

  • Same! and this song always gets stuck in my head

  • i had complatly forgot you wrote this! I love it on hank's CD but it skipped my mind that you had done it earlier, so cool! I can't believe I forgot you sang this, you're so good!

  • this is the best video that is no youtube. and i am NOT joking

  • amazing song! i love love love it

  • i love that book! great song!

  • I love this song, its just wonderful. Can I download it anywhere- itunes?

  • yes, if you type in hank green, it is on the so jokes album, but hank green sings it instead.

  • this is an amazing song! I love it.

  • Are you going to put your CD up on Itunes? I'd love to have the mp3 of this song on my Ipod. Your song is just beautiful. I love Hank's version too, but I think your version is better.

  • Wow, that is so good. Looking for Alaska is my favourite book too. This really sums it up. x

  • This is amazing. Simply amazing.

  • You are a great songwriter.

  • I heard this on Hanks album, and I didn't know it was by you! It's a briliant song =)

  • my brother sings this song around the house all the time, though i don't know if he's actually heard this version yet.

  • RIght on! Girls like guys that aren't afraid to cry.

  • Who thumbs downed you? lol

    Easily the saddest thing in a book. Sadder than anything I've seen in a movie too.

    Real life is another story however lol.

    Couldn't find it anywhere.

  • story time...

    so i was in my precal class, and i didnt have anything else to do.... so i wrote "and I'm still looking for you Alaska" on my desk. and i was like... w/e no one will notice. The next day, i looked at it again and underneath, someone had wrote, "and I'm still looking for John"....and i was like... OMFG. and then when i when i asked who it was (by writing on the desk) my teacher decided to move everyone around because he's a stupid jerkface.

  • Great song; glad to see Hank thinks so too!

  • hi =]

    my name is amanda and i'm a new fan of five awesome girls. i heard about you guys from john and hank green and i think this song is absolutely amazing. hank's cover on his album didn't do it justice. i really want to play this song for a project in my guitar class and i was wondering if you could share the music with me. i love this song, it made me cry when i first heard it and it's awesome. please and thank you!!!!
