Ode to Optophobia (Original by Danielle Ate the Sandwich)

[akikogenho]

I sing this in the shower all the time :I

[DOZGraff]

SUBSCROOBED!

[corndawg25]

wow...so adorable!

[bracelets4nathan]

You are great, for real!!! I am excited I discovered ur videos! love the peed pants part

[euromaniac123]

This is an awesome song p.s. she's really cute

[HelmetedSherpa]

Who is Hector?

And can I get a hug too? :P

[blume6546]

YOU ARE CLEVER AS FUCK

[happinessisicecream]

you are basically the reason I want to become better at guitar :)

[TheInvisibleMute]

1,000th person to favorite this video!!

[conconcan1]

i'm obsessed with you now...

geez.

[madison1234566]

this is so funny, because I just watched your chris brown/justin beiber cover and you actually did dance with a cardboard cut out. lol

[93jjb]

Your so cute..... and your voice makes me want to marry you

[AmandalinMusic]

This is the very first song I EVER heard by you. And it's been years now and I still love it to death. You're just as beautiful as your music.

[cherishsaaays]

Yay, she's on Zune. :3

[UkaleqEnth]

This is the only song that has ever made me both laugh and cry. <3

[stormcloud847]

I quote the beginning of this video all the time because I can never seem to go to bed before 4 these day.

[TheRedSoxFanChip]

Haunting and beautiful. I feel sad for the octophobics. They'll never get to see how magical you are!

[Curly7714]

Hector is a lucky man!

[TaylorThis]

What is optophobia?

[SongfromBohemia]

@TaylorThis The fear of opening one's eyes.

[laibw]

beautiful voice, beautiful song

beautiful everything!!!

[homegrowntwinkie]

Am I the only one that doesnt like her music?

Sure, she's talented, theres no doubt about it. and She's gorgeous. I'm even sure she's a nice person.

But I don't like her sound..

[BizarreCelebration22]

@homegrowntwinkie no you aren't the only one. This song kind of bores me. The tune is like the same thing over and over

[sonoflove07]

@homegrowntwinkie um... 1) boo

2) if you don't like it, why are you posting here

3) she's got the self confidence so your opinion doesn't affect her... but still. If you don' t like it, why not just move on. Obviously, she does music and there are plenty of people who do like her, and her music. Why post a negative post just to post a negative post?

[homegrowntwinkie]

@sonoflove07

1. Alright?

2. I'm posting because I can post my own opinion however and wherever I damn well please.

3. I'm not trying to affect her. A friend told me about her, so I listened to her. I'm not impressed with her music.

Why argue a point that isn't going to change anything? like her music all you want. I wanted to see if anyone agreed with me. and Whatdyaknow, someone does.

[Omghxcbbqimo]

@homegrowntwinkie You're probably not the only one who doesn't like her music, but still, you're voicing an unwanted opinion. The least you could do would be to offer constructive criticsm, but just saying you don't like it makes you seem a bit of a jerk.

[homegrowntwinkie]

@Omghxcbbqimo Voicing an unwanted opinion...Damn, ain't that a shame. Get over it. The last I could do would be to offer constructive criticism? On what? how she should create her own music? If she likes that sound, and she wants that sound, then by all means, she should GO for that SOUND. Just because I don't like something, doesn't mean that it isn't good. She has a beautiful voice, and good lyrics, and the guitar is soothing. Now please, fuck off, but this music isn't for me.

[TheGreenBabe7]

I'm in love with this song! i feel that this is the perfect love song. And this is the way i feel about my boyfriend.

Your amazing. i Just found your music the other day but now i have all your albums. I live in Fort Collins and i really wished i would have seen your open mic nights. truly amazing!

[CyranoOctavious]

did you say "someone's" cooking in the oven?

[kbrabs33]

i stumbled upon ya music listening to pomplamoose and i love it<333 absolutely breath taking and you are as well :}

[gordoncaldwell]

"My vision isn't quite 20-20, but you're the only thing that's focused in my view"

One of the best lines ever.

[chaysebandit]

you remind me of a girl here in Australia... but you are just gorgeous. i love that you are just you without hesitation. <3 your music. Youre voice is amazing x

[JavierCastellan]

that was absolutely beautiful <3

[bastlake]

Some manner of hybrid between Natalie Portman and Steven Colbert

[pipsucks]

fuck. and thats a good fuck.

[cheezmuffins]

8 people have never ridden in a 95 crown victoria

[thelaynie]

This is absolutely breathtaking- simple, quiet, and yet overwhelmingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing. :D

[robokatiebot]

YES humor can be infused into a love song

have my babies?

[joelwrussell]

I want to mount you and make something lovely happen to your bottom half.

[Omghxcbbqimo]

@joelwrussell Dumbass.

[VLoganV]

Yes! The answer is Yes!

But since I know you're not singing to me, I'll go cry myself to sleep now

[sk8er9al]

I'm trying to buy this song but I can't on Itunes cause they dont have itunes in my country :(

[historiesinrust]

Some of the best song writing I've come across in awhile. And that's some seriously gorgeous singing for four in the morning.

[Demonichazev21]

this was epic :) great singin

[StellaSmithian]

hah, I feel just like the lyrics of this song right now, and its near halloween. Go figure. Thanks.

[devin81022]

I peed my pants I wuved it so much.

[LEESHtheBOSS]

This is mine and my girlfriends song! i freakin love you danielle

[dilari]

phiepphiew !

[hawkseye17]

Will you merry me?

[batgirl1415]

This is silly... yet INCREDIBLY touching.

[MsHahax]

i would say I wish I could see you on TV rising to the fame you deserve but that's a lie.. I'd rather have you as the guilty pleasure I indulge in daily as I think myself to sleep.

I love you Danielle; Wish you were a londoner (minus the English accent of course- your voice is too beautiful) x

[MustLovePoop]

danielle if you were bread I'd be your mayonnaise, how's that for poopetry

[stormcloud847]

if you grew to be too old and scared to dream, i would whisper the wells of the things you once believed in until you fell asleep

[roobadoob]

who could say no to you? "you can do it, kid!"

[roobadoob]

who could say no to you? "you can do it, kid!"

[laralissa1121]

:( brokEN. i love this song.

[jpatton525]

Clearly i just discovered you. I love this song. it's amazing.

[HARON08]

She's...perfect.

[pffemeraude]

Fabulouuuuus huhu !!!

[MrAlexbradley]

[annienomadepoet]

Beautiful voice, amazing lyrics, dreamy musical styling and really funny:) You're the whole package. A major talent. I'll be listening for you on the radio. I wish you much luck....

[360artworks]

You need to project your voice stronger, with More energy

[cidoleche]

oh my god i wav you ^_^

[DespoticaIvy]

Makes me want to sing too :) If only I could just get motivated! Very beautiful, and fun, and inspiring ;)

[xvolereepoterex]

Your style of music reminds me so much of priscilla ahn. I absolutely love it. Nice job and beautiful music. Keep em coming!! =)

[westboundelephant]

Your music reminds me of artists like Iron & Wine and Ben Gibbard, especially Ben's group All-Time Quarterback; Really good

[bloodninja72]

is this on itunes?

[KlarissaWeeber]

Your music has the innocence of a child's knowledge to it. Its a language every one can understand.

[TOMMASOGAVAZZI]

you're amazing!

[ediblecrayon]

"If you grew to be too old and scared to dream, I would whisper the wills of the things you once believed in until you fell asleep" wow. Sooo wonderful

What are the chords for this? I'd love to learn it.

[Wiggzzzz]

that bend you hit at the end of singing "wanted" inspires me musically more than any band, song, verse or note ive ever heard. i also intend to do a garage rock cover of afterwards. but on a less creepy note, the question of all questions (i beg for your response) who was dumb, and who was dumber?

[thenamesGodswife]

8 dislikes = 8 people who obviously dont know music or the magic of Danielle

[Kyletheepicness]

Only you can make a jock strap romanticish...

[wowiamoiko]

I wish I could write songs like this.

[NickNewhook]

Your music is great. Silky vocals teamed with the subtle ambiguity.

[brandixlynn]

I have to admit that I have a slight crush... XD

[Mederic005]

Can you give me your chord?:D I will learn it for sure!:D Nice song!

[snackk]

xfcvb

[snackk]

this made a girl who can't sleep, smile.

[WallflowerChild]

For some reason this song made me tear up...

Mind and voice, you are amazing.

[McFly1020]

[patlax325]

[TickTockTeeks]

[natasharupp00]

i still absolutely love this song

[rawaabakhsh]

i would die to see a song combination between

YOU + OWL CITY !!

oh my god please please it would be the best song ever!

[gordoncaldwell]

this may just be my favourite video/song of yours...it's no secret that you're talented, but it takes an extra amount of talent to make pant peeing fit in a song haha the prescription line is also amazing.

loves it!

[sneakyfitch]

I just realized that the entire song is 2 chords...

You're ridiculous :)

[missalexisjohnson]

This is soooo cute :)

[bloodsling]

lucky neighbors :)

[kenjajesfeelit]

wow. kenja loves yor buteeful heart. peace. stay calm, fight nice.

[carla989898]

i love ur music do u have any albums????

[overheadmarker]

Your songs make me feel so happy and yet somehow so sorrowful at the same tiime.

I think that's called talent.

[MegandNia]

Tabss Please?

[KenivaDaSk8a]

"if u peed ur pants id still love you"

unconditional love!!!

awesome!

[metallikealuminium]

Crown Victoria? Adam Baldwin? :D

Just sayin

I'm in love with you :L sorry - it's just the way it's gotta be :D

[HNpedersenTube]

your absolutely amazing. this song was very touchy.

[FredFerdberger]

perhaps you could write a song about a guy who is in love with a talented woman he will never meet and even if he did meet her, he is too old for her would be rejected out right. How about that for a song?

[Aladinsarsipius]

Is it Just me or is everything you do Awesome I must Have your albums. Keep it up :-)

[dcroxcox]

love

[123SarahT]

Gah. I'm in love with your music. Listening to you sing makes me want to sing. You just have one of those voices, I guess :)

[MrRollerboard]

u r FREAKING AMAZING

[snowleopard772]

lmfaao "something's cooking in the oven"

[ProdigalPunker]

May I ask you what microphone you are recording with in this video?

[maestrocma13]

needs a bit of spit and polish - but a very fine song!!!

[iloveplatypuses]

what chords are those?

[monstahface]

I had a music-love crush on you when you first put this up, moved on broken hearted in the face of my own tomfoolery, and have now returned to bask in your superbness unashamed. You are wicked cool.

[TheIkarians]

Danielle is one of my heroes!

[Tamrin460000]

Great stuff I'm always up till silly o'clock in the morning

[LeighanaG]

you are so talented. I love this song. have you ever heard of gregory and the hawk? you have a very similar style. it's wonderful.

[Kazakor]

Don't you agree that people who wear glasses are better than everyone else? You are a doll, by the way. Any chance I might be able to entice you with my 16-year-old son? He bathes regularly and plays the drums. Think about it. No pressure.

[arthurandroid]

No, she's into older guys. At least that's what I tell myself :-). Seriously I'm enthralled: she's talented, funny, and gorgeous not really my type.

[Kazakor]

Well, thank God, because I am clearly an older guy. 48. Who the hell let that happen? Just who is in charge around here? Shouldn't something be done?

But, you are right, she is talented, funny and gorgeous, but you failed to mention that she is also intelligent which puts me one smooch on the ass ahead in this race, Mister Droid and that should count for something.

[cantstopmyshine]

You're my new favorite artist on Youtube :)

[Kennady]

This is natural, God given talent! AMAZING! I love your style.

[3BabyyGEE]

wen you go l0w you sownd lika man

[lifeiswonderfulmraz]

[stopxherxbreath]

I love this song<3333

[TheAurelion]

[threecolorbird]

I listen to/ quote this song every 5 seconds.

It makes my day every single time! =]

[TheLessie11]

[maaaude]

[KINGOFDEZSTREETZ]

Oh my god.....why are you so amazing? i would love to meet you one day :D i feel like you would not have a care in the world

[TheBrooklynRadio]

Very sweet song. Nicely written, humorous and honest, which is a nice balance.

"The magic word is every word, so just say it"

Peace

[some1sosik]

=)

i was only going to leave that smily face as a comment but youtube told me it was too short and wouldnt let me post it alone

[sopranootano18]

i just finished listening to this again and was about to write "this is totally my favorite song" and then i realized i wrote that two days ago... yikes. obsessed.

[sopranootano18]

i think this is most definitely my favorite so far... and i'm so glad there are so many other videos of yours to listen to!! hooray!!

[deliascuttie]

you make my life worth living. :]

thanks for everything

i listen to you almost everyday,

you are certainly amazing.

[8smellyjelly8]

you have the voice of an angel

[matchingsky]

Aww...!!!!!!!!!! u know u make me shut up. i mean even the things constantly going on in my mind freeze wen i listen 2 ur songs.

[Purashii]

this is adorable, thank you :)

[linoc182]

Jeff Daniels the actor ?!?

[garenzy]

harry dunn?

[LouieFxH]

Love the adlibs in the middle. So cute.

[austentravis81]

Yeah, wow... Is it weird to say that I just kind of fell in love with you?

[FredFerdberger]

I felt the same way. A lot of people feel like you actually. Check out her other songs and you'll see a lot of "Marry Me", "I love you" etc. She has the voice of a Siren.

[thatrez]

I didn't know what Optophobia was and googled it and was pleasantly surprised to find Danielle's video as the 2nd result optophobia...

[Wiggzzzz]

i can see the disappointment in your face when u didnt hit the notes you wanted haha but dw im the only one who knows! you were just wonderful

[godsentkiller]

sweet voice thats pretty angelic if i were to die would not mind your voice accompaning me to the land of wherever im going
