Cover: The Lakes of Canada

[1114gabby]

Very nice! Love your vocals.Wondering what kind of guitar that is...you seem to use it in all the videos so it must be your standby.

[Yeshuasgirl1]

Aw, I used to watch your vids back when I was still stripping, before I had an experience with Jesus and became a christian...now this song means so much more to me.

[Nabeel9999]

I really enjoyed your version of this little known song. Through your video I am inspired to learn this song. Thanks

[TimberWolf212]

Wow! That was very nice! Can't help but notice though,.....Do you play the guitar in both left & right handed? Or was this filmed in a mirror? I noticed while just watching several of your other videos that you play right handed as well,...........A Great video performance!

[Waylander7475]

hi, just happen to stumble across this video. reasonably new to the song, but i really like your cover, the song obviously meant something to you.

[1111BLAKE1111]

im a straight guy. and i love thins song. is that wrong? hey, im not afraid o admit it. great cover.

[Arkanix]

Sorry...this is just the dumbest thing I ever heard. Im a straight guy and I like this song. Is that ok? Are you serious?

LOL. I did get a laugh out of that though. Hehehe...from now on don't look towards music to confirm your sexuality. Just enjoy it.

*Chuckles* The song is great and she performs it well.

[Squirrel347]

easily the best cover of this song. and better than the original. karen's voice is too high on this.

[mohammertime]

You think so? I think karen was absolutely divine on this actually. That said this is a beautiful version

[canadiansl]

i found you by...luck, thanks for the music. when my band starts playing gigs, i would like you to warm up our crowd,

in toronto, most likely. are you gigging? -S.

[kontuartine]

[Dreadzo05]

WOW !!

[olivertwist123456]

you have a fantastic voice!! I love this song! do you write original music? and I also life sufjan stevens cover of this

[MacMan0002]

Great cover Ning! Can't wait till you release your CD and/or more youtube videos.

[daisypaste]

this sounds really beautiful. this is one of my favorite songs, but now i love it even more than before.

[weezer44]

I do agree. You sing it better than the original. Great job.

Your husband is a very lucky man.

[kungfumohamed]

its better than the origenal we keep listening to it always...great job

[Muesliriegel1]

hey great job, thanks :o)

[canajian]

Beautiful!!!

*****

[Penhappy101]

Beautiful--I have a question-did you have someone singing back-up on the chorus--or tape over, or chorus setting on sound board?

Next: I wait for you to build to a crescendo, but it was barely there...prefer a little more intensity towards end, add dynamic to your voice-song. Love it, & wow can you ever play the guitar-& you look so young, lol, I hope you do not mind my suggestion...?

[ricekenn]

All of her stuff is good...

Somebody get her a freakin' concert hall and put her on... PBS SOUNDSTAGE!

...now you're freakin' talking...

WITH AN AWESOME BAND TOO>>>

7 or 8 stars...

[richparman]

WOW!!! You are spectacular.

[billybbob18]

Amazing. When i close my eyes while listening to this, I feel like i am in another world!

[IgWannA2]

you have the most amazing voice <3

[PIANOMAN720]

I needed my fix of your beautiful voice, it makes me feel like summer is near. AWESOME JOB !!!

[eventhorizon899]

I know what you mean. I need my daily fix of this young lady. This is the best version I've heard of this song!!

[PIANOMAN720]

yea it puts in in another place ! it relaxes me, she is going to make it ,she has a lot of talent !

[Spitfireseven]

Were you once left handed?

[DavidMed58]

cool :) :D

[tahirphysio]

why u avoid looking towards cam nin?

And is this song lip synch.?

[ShinobiDuh]

i think it makes her look more peacefull than if she was looking at the camera

[Gerald3lou]

hermosa voz y tambien tus expreciones.

[deknongkhai]

very nice

[justemoi35000]

tres jolie voix bravo !!!

[popopopghghgh]

shes beautiful and she can play. lovely

[coopermazy]

What type of acoustic do you use and what type of strings do you use?

I like the sound and am currently experimenting with different strings for different tones/sounds etc...

[matthigney]

by the sound sof it medium gauge strings, really dosnt matter what manufacturer you get them from of course the more money you pump into it the longer it will last.

[pgahiwatt]

She has a couple i reckon this is a Yamaha and try 11-50 or 11-52 strings-phosphore bronze- if too bland,go for the industry standard-d'addario ej 16,which are 12-53..nice bottom end but cant hear that here,unless its the eq on the recording or similar,or she doesnt hit the strings very hard which i suspect may be the case.Hope this helps.Cheers,Phil.

[wojtek0000]

i wanna nut on that soft face.

[Prema194]

There's a stillness and calmness in the eyes--like a perfectly placid pond in which to see one's reflection:)

[wojtek0000]

nice shotgun hanging on the wall.

[juangaoriginal]

nice! wonderfull...

sub to me...

you´re in my friends n´favorites...

[crashergs]

the reason is because she reversed the video thats why shes playing left handed.

[alpharagabash]

Awesome! Better than the original. I play left handed and I can play basic chorded songs right handed. I guess that comes from visiting all my right handed guitar playing friends. What made you do this left handed? Oh yeah I was thinking you look a little like Dayna Deluxe in this clip. Grrrrrrr! Die your hair red again. Birro Kudasia!

[blackfeather31]

I AM CONFUSED. are you left or right handed?

[Echdrum]

very very good job.  i am jealous impressed inspired

[scathmandra]

What a beautiful cover... did you figure the song out by ear or did you look it up?

[MorbidHybrid]

Really excellent cover. You got a really beautiful voice and face, your playing is really well done and it sounds like a studio version rather than a cover.

[Goldeneye1635]

Yeah, that's right. Karen is probably reading this just about now. Her voice sounds really good here but in general it is to high and birdlike.

[crashergs]

watching all your videos, your a very unique person, and living in japan really makes you much more different, id say maybe because you dont have much influence from our ridiculous culture. But your uniqueness prevails and its very beautiful. Why do you live in japan?

[Goldeneye1635]

Kind of sexy this one>

[treehamallama]

I cant get enough of this song. what are the chords?

"Oh laughing man, what have you won?

Don't tell me what cannot be done.

My little mouth, my winter lungs,

don't tell me what can't be done."

[Prema194]

The lyrics are really brilliant , one of IM best songs ever. Beautifully sung here!

[Rhaluka]

She is talented, love her stuff..

[TheThorak]

I cried... came back days later... buckets of rain - so much feeling... cried some more while smiling... your eyes say so much.

My ear is to the ground waiting for the next song. You make me want to search my own soul and deeper. A button pushed well past certainty, have no idea what it means to be just listening until I hear you sing. Close my eyes and just hear you.

[Jinright17]

Great song! What are the chords on that?

[zheetos]

has anyone ripped and up'd the audio? love the song, i have the original on my ipod but i'd rather hear this voice than karen peris's. :)

[rondon495]

Tottemo kirei-nah! Beautiful!

[conaa91]

I really love the way u sing !! =)

[j0771d]

maybe she can play left-handed ...

or the image might have been reversed (see her hair falling as usual over the left side of her face (elegantly of course,but i don't know how to say that in english), position of the couch relative to the door and the ornament of her guitar..)

or maybe all the other videos were the reversed ones :)

just my 0.02 :]

good interpretation btw

[lLoveYa]

if you had any videos Id subscribe to you because of that comment

[orosenberg]

haha. f'real that is a funny comment

[Imhotephp]

How did you do that, I mean playing another way? You must have been playing guitar since you were a child.

[wacheeto]

I like your voice!

[rmadmin]

Hmm... lefty? Did you magically change hands just for this song? *confused*

[VolodymyrGayovyy]

I hear two voices, excpecially it is noticable at the end. Does my mind play some tricks with me or maybe I shouldn't clean ears with the fork?

By the way, I enjoyed this song a lot.

Please, Confirm!&?

[harriswhistles]

I hear the two voices in places, too. I wonder if it's an effect of some kind, or an overdub of another vocal track, or someone singing along in the next room. :) Who knows?

[Archetype69]

One of the best things I've ever seen on youtube. I would not go this far as the guy in the video response did... but yeah, you're really inspiring! ;)

[huraboma]

pretty, both singer and cover. Thanks

[warboop]

wow you play both ways left and right your good

[true705]
