SFAH 31: Something

[ammiles43]

Takes my breath away to listen to this. Abby you're a genius and thank you so much for letting us witness you pull these gems in the rough from your hat. I love that you don't pretty them up (or down), they're just the fountain of you. Each has something amazing in it, and some like this one totally sparkle with human spirit.

[didgidu]

You´re an amazing genius,.....really!

The way you built up the song is great please never Stop making music.

greetings from Germany..

[chaipinay]

love it

[cjwaywell]

Nice

[wowiwsh]

i lurv this one...

u look really passionate while u sang it...

[trappedillusions]

I think this is beautiful.

[delidoodle]

it was great. i'm so glad i understand some shred of what it means to you. cool night last night

[songsfromahat]

yeah, cool night, I'm glad you know too.

[rawthought]

There's something...about a great original song. Great song, it's quite moving. That's something.

[darksideofdarkness]

Abby, I really sorry you couldn't send new songs, but I'm happy you put Something as your default video... it deserves it! This one was sent in the middle of a 'sandwich' of other 2 songs, so it had half of views than the other two, even being the best of the three, and even one of the 2 better of SongsFromAHat (along with "Life of a Sidekick"). Hope you can return soon!

[RutterKeanne]

Ohkayy , I just have too sayy i dont comment people usually YOur pretty ggood im plalying the guitar now just learning im going to sing the song you just sung. too my dad :]

Well I love this song

[nursedude01]

"How can I clap with a bagel in my hands"

Pure genious uttered by my then 7 year old daughter watching a jazz band in a coffee house. I wanted to write the song to this title, but you are much more qualified than me.

[Apefactory]

Very beautiful and fantastic lyrics! You're very talented in putting it into words, that's for sure ;) Hope you'll continue like this and I wish you the best of luck.

[Maddaxe111]

I agree one of your best.

[justinnsayne]

Great song! I think it's one of your best. Another one of my favorites is Guitar Hero, and to be able to write such different styles of music so well, really shows your musical range and talent.

[StacyWithoutTheE88]

nice.

this is a really good song.

:)

[magyarmag]

Loved this!

[MousketeerMaiden]

you put so much of your heart into that, I loved it :]

Song Suggestion:

"like strawberry starbursts"

[Indrina]

I know you say the strings are dead, but I kind of like it.. actually, I really like it. The guitar sounds more mellow that way. Both my guitars have a mellower sound, so obviously I must like it.

Pretty song. Great title!

[jingmo]

Very nice Abby... thanks for the awesome music

[darksideofdarkness]

Abby this song is great, is so catchy... so "sticky" in the good sense. The other day I woke up singing "there's something..." with sliding strings in the background. Mostly I like it because is so "your style". Your voice sounds natural this time. Only what I say is Congratulations!

[laurenhufford]

i love this song!

"one and one is poo."

[Heto107]

most beautiful song I've ever heard.

I feel like a girl now...

[MathiasT]

That was great!!!

"Just because you can doesn't mean you should"

[wingsonwater]

I think I've already told you I loved this one, but I have to say again: it's great. Particularly the guitar - it really wouldn't be the same without it, it sets up the atmosphere so well. And I really like the subject matter, too!

[rogue0567]

aw. I liked this one a lot.

"2 plus 2 equals nothing"

[MatAtMac]

I Liked Your Song very nice!

[Seralaughs16]

Geez you have an amazing talent..

[djbertt]

Wow, great song. Don't care if you don't post on sundays if the songs are like this. Thnx!

[Benjaminatize]

That was great, Abby!!

[antt45]

"there's a fly in my soup"

love the song ^-^

[embraceyourinnerdork]

great song :]

"please tell your pants that it isn't polite to point!"

[Cmed1970]

do you mean parents?

[indyguy101]

'a street concer won't be nothing but you; it's ruined'

You have a way with words missy.

[prettyprincesse125]

"dancing in the rain"

[MaureenD716]

[steven630]

"my flesh is missing"

[steven630]

"my dog meadow"

[RiddleFlowOn]

nice one. i like "it's ruined." perfect reversal of the emotional attachment to indefinable qualities that the rest of the song hails.

song title: "Filthy Scarecrow"

[TinnedAwesome]

Title: "Where did my Mojo go?"

[the5regularguys]

I didn't think the guitar was that quiet.  Sounds fine to me.

Love the song.

My new regular song title will be: "My Life in Motion Pictures"

[SetaDeCard0]

Hi, Abby! That was a fantastic song! Those three chords stuck in my head. Nevertheless, I miss your good old naive funny (and sometimes weird) songs. My favourite is still "Guitar Hero". Can we have more of that, please? Cheer up and go for it! Title:

"Got 99 apples but a peach ain't one"

[tombino3]

Great song!

[katrinkatrinsen]

''You're my Great Perhaps''

[ReinyJ27]

one of my favorites! I think you're awesome!

[Jugglingdude]

"Gets Better With Each Pass"

[wingsonwater]

Yay! That was beautiful! You're getting better and better all the time, I think.

[godancergo]

"why is that mashmellow is green and why is it in my cocoa"

[lapair]

"My white mocha frapuccino."

[okais13]

"Minimum Wage"

[Chaiiotic]

Title Idea!

[Johnnymanx]

And another title suggestion:

"The one string down, five to go."

[buki909]

"Why aren't i famous yet?"

[CameronKabookie]

These are great! I can't wait for the next one! It's like a major dose of SFAH in one clumb! So awesome!

[soundingforsigns]

"Summertime"

[Probewitch]

Something perfect.

[eloisemidgen11]

I love how high you're playing your guitar. It makes me super happy, and not in a sarcastic way either.

Song?

"A Salty Sea-Shanty"

[littledagny]

Win!

[CHIBIrini]

i like it :)

[giiblet]

God I love this one, by far my favorite. You are truly amazing.

and uh... I suppose for titles

"Leave the window open when it rains"

or

"Here's an obnoxiously long title because I want you to learn how to read"

Don't ask why they're so pathetic.

[hubertfarmbuckle]

The G train on the H track

[FoggyGoat]

"Flutter bies and my best friend Jen"

[huckleberryfilms]

Well done! Uber creative.

And suggestion is:

"why did you go, teddy bear guy?"

[jef9786]

A strong song that stands on its own. Very nice.

[maggiehanna]

Hooray for Abby being back and then two songs back to back! Woo! Wonderful as always. :-)

"This is a Story"

[yaygeetar]

I might get yelled at by all of Abby's fans, but I can't really get into any of these songs.

The writing is pretty good, but maybe if someone else sang them, they'd be a lot better. Abby's voice works for the Kimya Dawson sounding songs, but other than that, it's kind of too much for me. Sorry.

[robtran]

Second song in a row that you just aced! Love it!

[livin4hymn]

"the camels are stampeding"

[xwhatwentwrong]

your past two songs have been amazing =] you should upload this one and dirty little secrets on myspace!!

[fallingdeath]

for those of you who didn't understand what I meant..I mean..I'm waiting to hear her one day signed, and getting noticed, because of how amazing Abby is.

[fallingdeath]

I'm still waiting to turn on my radio one day and hear you =]

[kidolight]

great job abby, it has that "something" (pun only somewhat intended) that's been lacking in your songs for awhile, seriously one of your best. So when are you going to experiment with different song styles again? I for one wanna hear abby simons rap, but maybe that's just me being cruel and unusual. Anyways, great tune and congrats on 30+ weeks of songs, seriously an accomplishment you should be proud of.

[monkeydo147]

"This title has nothing to do with the song, but I have no choice but use it"

[MrsTomFelton531]

can't*

[hubertfarmbuckle]

stop with the excuses you put on every song already

[sukrat69]

I agree man. I said the very same in the previous chapter and they put me a thumb down. Don't understand, it's a good advice.

For me, it will be a challenge anyway! Nobody force her to do this, so she has no excuse in front of anyone!

BTW, Abby: I love this song! It's a very good one, the best since a looong time for me!!

[cheezewheel]

^____^ brought a smile to my face, thank you <3
