"Giving Up" (Ingrid Michaelson Cover)

[JulieLefkowitz]

You're voice is beautiful!

[LAshlieH]

You're kind of the reason I picked up a ukulele and learned to play. I didn't think I could learn by just using the internet but you inspired me. This is one of the first songs I've learned to play along with painfully obvious. So thank you. :)

[LAshlieH]

This is still one of my favorite covers of this song. ever. At least a hundred of these views are mine. :P

I saw you when you stopped in Asheville, NC and it was so fun. :)

[JennieRaeUrban]

This is so great! I can't believe I just found this. :)

[orangesho13es]

This is one of my absolute favorite songs from Ingrid. I can't believe I haven't watched this video more than once since the time you uploaded it. What was I thinking?!? Thank you for such an amazing cover, Lauren.

[swimmersgirl]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[lotchken]

can you please sing Where the road meets the sun by Katie Herzig and Mathew Perryman Jones ? I think you'd be perfect for that song... : )

[AlexisUnger]

aww this is quite cute.

[dancinerd]

I can't decide if I like your version or Ingrid's better. :) You're kind of my musical inspiration. Thank you for being so freaking amazing, and I hope we get to see you on the tubes sooon!!!! <3

[LAshlieH]

I loved this song before but you sing it so well. Its very pretty. One of my favorites. : )

[audidita]

i spy John and Hank! :D

[souledout20]

i lover this song very much.. awesome job!

[leebeegee]

i love this song! you fit her style perfectly.

[chr1steh]

Lovely cover! And you even look a little like IngridMichaelson!

[yayhitbyatrolley]

haha i thought that too! :)

[Qcumbers57]

you sound awesome!

Whats the strum pattern?

[devilishlypure]

I don't know, can you tell by watching?

[pythonfan001]

its D DU UDU

i think.

[Mapsp2]

=D that was awesome, what kind of guitar strings does your guitar have? Because I want to buy one but I don't know which strings I should pick , Thanks!

[devilishlypure]

D'Addario Lights!

[Mapsp2]

Thanks!!! =D

[gabimookie]

what are the chords?!?!

[gabimookie]

Please!

[gabimookie]

whoops never mind I should have looked in the side bar!

[Fensterplaetzchen]

awesomeischschsisch

[CallidoraLBlack]

Beautiful, Lauren :o)

[flyfall8]

That song made me want to cry!

[YayitsRuthayy]

woooo ingrid michaelson!

[partyweetow]

That was lovely. Have you ever covered Top Of The World by the Dixie Chicks?

[CrazyClaire88]

Beautiful, Lauren - never heard you voice like this before! you're so talented :D

[TheFallenWind]

I really love your tone in this song. The song itself was a wonderful choice for your vocal range.

[pliskin215]

You should do a cover of Eet by Regina Spektor. I think you do an amazing job of it =)

[penguinsrule8000]

I totally agree :D

[swimmersgirl]

I love Regina Spektor!

[avidhpfan]

Agreed!

[Minkusia]

This is beautiful, Lauren. Altough it made me sad :')

[scentoflime]

Cute. I'm with the other commenter; I'd love to hear a Tegan and Sara cover.

[memoirsofagenevieve]

I love them :)

[summerdaze121]

I love this song and you did awesome!

[devilishlypure]

Thank you. :)

[ThatFamousDorkyGirl]

I love it...5 stars! <3

[iwishiwereaWeasley]

Very nice :)

[emmfan09]

Yay I love this song, I'm so happy you covered it, Lauren :D You are awesome.

[LAshlieH]

I really like this song and your cover is so pretty, you did a great job. I've been singing it all day long.

[ReggieUnderbelly]

I'd love to hear you cover a Tegan and Sara song.

[spannerxxxxx]

Agreeed!

[memoirsofagenevieve]

I love them :)

[fanfan101]

Although i love your smiley side it's really cool to see a different side of you once in awile.

Also, this is a good song to try to do that for because it's naturally a less happy song.

Great cover :) im soo jealous of your voice! ♥

-Tia

[weneedharrypotter]

This song is lovely.

[twofive25]

Great cover! It would have been better if you had worn a green shirt though, just saying.

[RebeccaInTheTARDIS]

Amazing song, beautifully played <3

[BibaRed]

Lauren, you are a total goddess in all aspects, but in the nicest way possible it'd be awesome if you got some singing lessons so you can control the fantastic thing that is your voice. This totally isn't a dig and I hope you're not offended, but I just think you're not doing yourself justice.

Lovely song!

[devilishlypure]

Thank you. I've taken them in the past and they haven't done anything for me, so I probably won't continue to pay somebody who probably won't even be able to help me.

[BibaRed]

That is fair enough! Money is always an issue, and I often find lessons can badly affect how much you enjoy something, and enjoyment is the key thing here :)

[BasketKiwi]

Yay for Imogen Heap and Ingrid Michaelson in the same week!

And for Lauren! Yay for Lauren!

Happy almost-Halloween!

n.n

[ianswertobob]

I love Ingrid Michaelson! Her songs are always so fantastic. <3 Thanks for covering one for us!

~Kiera

[EnglebertKiwi]

You look sooooo sad ! Smile !

Yeah, I'm kidding. You can't and shouldn't smile to every song, and especially sad songs.

[lunatunarox]

absolutely beautiful.

[sisinead]

oh i was so pleased when you picked this song, Ingrid Michaelson isnt very well known in here in Australia, so i dont get to hear her very often outside my own music collection, is she big over there?

[devilishlypure]

Sigh.

[sarahbull]

This song was absolutely fantastic. You are fantastic! Beautiful! 5 stars!!

[enialis02]

Lauren Fairweather takes guitars and makes mortals weep. Mwuaahaha

[whitefluffyhat]

I love Ingrid Michaelson.

I love Lauren Fairweather.

AND THE TWO OF THEM JUST COINCIDED.

I'm speechless. <3

[superj0kes]

this was really beautiful! thank you for creating such great art and putting it out for the world to see (regardless of who the song is originally by). i had never heard this song before, but i loved your rendition.

[laadylazarus]

This is beautiful, Lauren. I love this song, and I'm a tough judge of covers in general, but yours was really super fantastic =]

[candyandapples]

I LOVE THIS SONG! And you played it so well! :)<3.

[squalledprincess]

That was beautiful..it made me cry. Thanks for posting this, Lauren, you are wonderful.

[lindseyclark08]

This song is so close to my heart, thank you for doing it justice. Gahh, this song makes me so sad.

[devilishlypure]

Aw, it makes me sad too. Thank you for not telling me that I should be smiling while I sing it.

[lindseyclark08]

Ah, I think this is probably the last song in which I would be smiling while singing. You're okay, Lauren. You don't have to be smiley all the time.

[BroadwayLove727]

ingrid michaelson is amazinggg

this sounds great.

you should definitely do some of her songs on the uke =]

[zomghorcrux]

That made my heart go all kinds of mushy... You're incredible, Lauren!

[muggle394]

I love your voice, Lauren. You're so talented. And don't listen to those people. I think it's way better to not smile at all than to fake smile.

[iwantaweasleysweater]

You're so good. *Is jealous*

[swimmersgirl]

Lauren, wow this is so beautiful. One of my favorites yet.

And I think it makes perfect sense not to (fake) smile. It's not like you don't smile enough as it it :P I loved the emotion of this video, both in the song and your playing it!

[carrottop12292]

I love Ingrid Michaelson! I'm going to sing a long with you now.

[HAMSTERk]

Wow. This is beautiful, and I especially like the verse around 2:14. Your voice sounds amazing in this :)

[dupunka]

Other than "You and I" this is my favorite Ingrid song. I saw this in the sub. box and was like, "Hella Yes!"

[imnotuniqueimmonique]

You sounded lovely doing this cover, I really enjoy your head voice. Very nice mix in this song.

[Punk2021]

This was great, you cover her very well, I think her music suits you.

You should check out Marit Larsen, I think you would like and I would love to hear a cover from one of her songs

[devilishlypure]

Sorry. Just trying to be serious and not push the fake smiles constantly for once. I guess I should go back to that since so many people are commenting on it.

[pulsexx]

Dude you sound just like Jimi Hendrix.

Tear that shit up, babe.

[jackamazing]

Awh, this is so great. I've been hoping you would cover this song since last summer, when I first heard it. (:

[myshangrila]

Another incredible one by Lauren :)

This made my day much better.

[thelasthorcruxx]

Awh, I love this.

May I request Macy's Day Parade by Green Day? :)

[JustMargaret]

God, Lauren. Your everything is pretty. :)

[patchiefan]

It's beautiful - you sang this song beautifully :) You should cover Ingrid Michaelson's "You and I". Thanks Lauren <3

[sweetlovesong]

YES.

Oh my goodness, Lauren, this is so good.

You sound great, and I love Ingrid.

This video is all sorts of win.

<3

[cocolovesHP]

Wow...lauren you sound amazing.....even more amazing then normal. This was truly beautiful. thank you.

[TickyRoot]

Purty! I like the subtleness of it.

[itjusmar]

I really liked this!!

I think you should cover a Kelly Clarkson song!!!

=]]

[PrincessPotato]

I <3 Ingrid Michaelson

[tdcmoncton]

Enchanting voice. :)

[penguin112493]

This is awesome, I love it :)

As for requests, I will have to say some Lucas Carpenter, although I doubt that he has any chords up. Maybe Julia Nunes?

[kayzzkatherine]

My friend introduced me to Ingrid like 3 weeks a go and now I hear about her everywhere. Great job and great song:)

[JoanIsNotTheMaid]

I felt like doing the harmony. This is one of my favorite songs.

[socomeoncourage]

you did a fantastic job, Lauren. BUT... you skipped the most important two words of the song!! "I am giving up FOR YOU" at the very end of the song. After listening to the song quite a few times (I love Ingrid), I realized that she may be saying that she's giving up on greener grasses in order to be with this person (for you). That's the beauty of multiple perspectives.

DFTBA

-Alyssa =)

[devilishlypure]

Yeah, I couldn't do justice to the end of the song so I just left it out.

[LAshlieH]

Lauren, this is amazing! It's so pretty. I love it, great job.

[reb1391]

loved it!

[raidonthestadiar]

Ultimate guitar is evil and virusy! I think. Not sure.

[wytherwings]

this is beautiful!! really amazing cover =]

[RaddishxEarrings]

I love your voice. :] This song is so pretty.

[Fensterplaetzchen]

yay, like

[alycemhm]

This is beautiful ♡ Truly amazing.

You should check out Sherree Chamberlain, I love her music so much. I don't think she has any chords released, though.

[lexaguitar16]

what about some mountain goats? :)

this pretty much MADE my day. i love ingrid so much. and you did a FANTASTICALLY AMAZING job on it. :D

[eeks1120]

Awesome job!!

[madeofawesome55]

wow, i just fell inlove with you. lol your voice sounds great. you might sing a song from takingbacksunday well. :)

[seeker932]

Oh, I love Ingrid Michaelson! This is an awesome cover!

[paperxxhearts000]

I agree! Ingrid is awesome. xD

[electricmermaids]

That CD is so wonderful to listen to. I love all the songs on it. All the lyrics for the new songs are so beautiful.

Very nice cover. :)

Requests? What about something from Howie Day? I can give you a specific song if you want.

[hamsandwhich25]

I think this is the best cover you've done so far.

Just personal opinion. Honestly, this was amazing. :)

[girlygirlk8e]

Seeing her Nov 2nd in Nashville!

Great video. LOVE LOVE LOVE her.

[JustAnne27]

this just made me cry. you're amazing and talented..

[xGlowFliesx]

I loooove this =]

I think I may listen to it over and over again.

[MissPussyKatz]

I fully love you for covering an Ingrid Michealson...This song is awesome and you did it real justice =)

[ItsBenCracknell]

You like requests!?

What!? How did I not know this?

For months I've been thinking that you singing Boats and Birds (Gregory and the Hawk) would be amazing!

And Send Me On My Way by Rusted Roots.

I know you won't do them, it just puts a smile on my face when I picture you singing them.

Once again, an amazing job.

[craisins95]

Beautiful cover. Such a great song.

[Lidespam]

Ahhh!! I loove that you did an Ingrid Michaelson cover :D:D <3<3<3

[sojimmie11]

Wonderful job, as usual!

Song idea: I will go sailing no more (from Toy Story)

[tiicklemyfancy]

OH MY GODD. This kind of just made my heart skip a beat. this is my favorite muggle song ever. :) :) i was going to cover it but decided not to because I didn't think I could really pull off the singing. but goshh this is bringing tears to my eyes. you are my favorite always!

[devilishlypure]

Aww, I'm so glad you like it!

[MoleGirlSays]

That was really awesome :-) U r such a good musician!

[jamesgordonuk]

I am torn on this song: I love the cover, but (and I know its because of the content) you have a sad face on for practically all of the video: and you're way too awesome to be sad.

Ok I know thats not true. But...you are awesome none the less. And sad!lauren is just something we don't see v. often.

Anyway: it really is a great cover. =)

[devilishlypure]

I'm not sad. It's just not a happy song and I thought that smiling during a sad song wouldn't make sense.

[sharizzle09]

LOVED! i have to disagree... I TOTALLY DONT THINK ITS A SAD SONG AT ALL! its totally romanticl. i think begging the person you want to spend your life with to accept all the less glamourous parts of the relationship like 'cups in the sink' .. and still holding on and holding on. giving up on looking for anyone else, 'greener grasses', and being doubtful- 'half empty glasses'. giving up on those things and giving your whole self to your love. im obbsessed with this song :]]] amazing job!

sharon

[Ziggystarla]

gah, lauren!! you are so cute. i love you and your voice. =]

[Niphai89]

Yay, I love Ingrid Michaelson, and this is one of her best songs <3. It's great to hear you sing it =D

[asimplecadence]

You're so amazing! I'm SO in love with Ingrid Michaelson! Did you get a chance to see her with Greg Holden? Ah-mazing!!

[starwarshippie]

That was really good, I don't know the original song but your voice is lovely.

[bittersweetjinx]

Very good Lauren! I like it!

[lovelyvoices0]

Great video!!!

[sierrahmist]

You're awesome Lauren.

This is so good!

[GeeEmOh]

love ingrid! :)

[S0cialGhost]

i want to comment some but i don't know what to say. I liked it yep.

[pinstripers16]

Great cover, Lauren! I love your voice with this song. Also you should cover some Armoured Bear Club. That band pwns!

[devilishlypure]

Haha, how do you cover your own band? XD Matt and I will work on videos for the armoured bearcub channel once he's not driving all over the country and I'm not stuck in a college dorm room.

[pinstripers16]

I once saw The Coffeemilk Children cover Draco and the Malfoys. It was pretty sweet. I look forward to Armoured Bearcub when Matt's back from tour. I also look forward to seeing you at WRockstock.

[devilishlypure]

That's awesome!!

I'm excited to see you tooo!

[xmadmomentsx]

this suited your voice best of many covers you've done & was loverly, but smile more :):) <3

[devilishlypure]

It's not exactly a happy song... check out my vlogs if you want smiling!

[VeryWittyName]

This just oozed cute

And after Ingrid, you gotta do Greg Holden. =D

[annatheHPtwerdfightr]

OMG -points to something in the background-
