Leesha Harvey-- Wounds (Original)

[BigSailorRobT]

When are some new songs coming out (since your 2nd CD)?

[cadwalladee]

dishes...! Nice song, Leesha...

[lefthooklyrics]

NICE

[jonxjquee]

i'm so buying her cd when it comes out (btw this actually means something coming from someone who pirates all his music)

[LeeshaHarvey]

I'll take that as the highest form of compliment then! :D

[mny152]

you're great

[sashmirpu]

your music blows me away:)

[twohandband]

I'm impressed.

I'm speechless.

I'm jealous of your husband.

Some guys have all the luck.

[yelloness]

You make beautiful music and beautiful lyrics. There's life around every word you sing, thank you for making the world a better place by filling it with meaningful music =)

[tjkoz22]

I love it, Leesha! Great imagery, nice chord progression & melody, too.

[scottstapp122]

nice....you have wonderful voice! can't wait for your album to be released ;-)

[yanman77]

Please...come on don't do the dishes just yet...play us another one! Beautiful song...

[whataboutredlorry]

The lyrics are very beautiful and show a great lyric-writing maturity and sensibility.

The lyrics could even work just on their own as a poem - which is not true for all songs, and shows the real strength of the words.

[Jimbobis]

Great job! Thanks for sharing!!

[sleepymango]

I like!

[donnaeleo]

this is real talent...you go girl!!

[04sw]

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thank you so much, Clare!

[DAVIDDAMIENR]

Thank You for Sharing !!!!

[winger1212]

Wonderful.

[LeeshaHarvey]

The illustrious winger watched one of my vids? Cool! Thanks so much for stopping by! I certainly appreciate it.

[winger1212]

maryann712 told me I had to have a listen. She was right. You are amazing.

[peteranthonyuk]

wonderful song

[mobitz57]

Ha, still tons of smoking vids ----------->

I wonder if they dig up those vids from the comments, also?

Potato, corn, monkey...let's see if that changes anything!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Ha, ha, ha! :D

[noliketoregister]

I love puzzles, so this smoking related videos thing got me going. I figure, if you search for a video the results show text from the description, starting from the end and counting backwards up the description about 160 characters are displayed. In this videos case the following:

busted, these wounds can be trusted Blowing away all the smoke from the mirrors (Chorus) © 2008 Leesha Harvey...Leesha Harvey Wounds Original Acoustic Female

So do you see the female blowing smoke connection?

[mobitz57]

hey, great sleuthing! you may be on to something! ha! :)

[KrisShred]

Congratz on your website Leesha, the design looks very beautiful! :) Keep the good things coming!

Kris

[MDunclestinky]

Again - Totally wowed by the song craft. Great Friggin' song.

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks so much. It means a lot coming from a fellow songwriter like yourself!

[mobitz57]

Do I count as the occasional stalker?

[mobitz57]

And what's up with all the smoking videos over there----->

?

[zzzzzzzzap]

So good to hear this Leesha, as well as news that everything else is going well for you. Keep up the good work. Peace

[zenkonami]

So good to hear you again, Leesha. This one is so buoyant and happy, musically. Don't hold me to it, but I may take a stab at covering it if it's alright by you =D

[lauriesknitting]

Great new song, Leesh! Can't wait to see you next weekend! Don't forget your guitar! Laurie

[LeeshaHarvey]

You think I'll have room for the guitar? I would hate for it to accidentally get put in storage or auctioned off or something! Ha, ha! :D

Looking forward to seeing you all!

[dagiffy]

I cruised in here from the Great Ronald Jenkees web site! Seeing as how he's the greatest thing that ever lived, be it animal, vegetable or mineral, you are gonna be FAMOUS! woo HOO! btw thanks for putting your songs on Amie!

[rodneyfenske]

Great song Leesha... I love the proverb... you rock. 5*'s

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks so much! It's a great proverb, isn't it? One to commit to memory!

[ScribbleTunes]

Hey Leesha! This is great! The rhythm, the singing, the lyrics- it all goes together really well. Congratulations on the new website, it looks great! I just added you as a friend on MySpace as well. Take care!

Scribble

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks Scribble! I accepted your friend request! :)

[EstebanChurches]

Cool new song. I like the parts where you stop and slap the wood. I don't know why the music industry is in shambles. If talent scouts want to find talent all they have to do is browse through YouTube and find you. Great songwriting!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks EstebanChurches... I'm really enjoying being an independent musician! I think it's the route to go!  ;-)

[aleishar]

lol. You gotta do dishes now..hehe. I know the feeling. ;) Great song and I just checked out your new website! Cool!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks for checking out my website, Aleisha! I really appreciate it! :D

[noliketoregister]

After a few listens I am reminded of Aesop's fable "The Tortoise and the Birds." It's not a well known fable, but a good one. Basing your lyrics on proverbs is wise for this bestows a timeless quality to them that is very appealing. It doesn't hurt that your music is enchanting and the performance is top notch as well. Oops, I better not boost your ego too high or the sun will melt your wings.

[LeeshaHarvey]

I'm going to have to check out that fable... I've read Aesop's Fables, but that was years ago... and my memory is a little rusty! :D But the wings melting sounds like Icarus!

[noliketoregister]

There is a lovely site (aesops-fables . org . uk) that has a complete list of the fables. I've been slowly reviewing them all, in between listening to your stuff and collecting old movies and tv shows into playlists for my channel. Well that about sums up my life at the moment, lol. Well I gotta go do the dishes.

[texxlakota]

Love the song. Great to hear another one of your originals. You definitely have a gift for it. Can't wait for the CD.

[LeeshaHarvey]

I'm glad you like it! Thanks for listening!

[ruthcbutler]

So nice to hear your voice and feel your rhythm again!! Thanks. ")

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks Ruth!

[TERUKO5]

Nice! (And have a good time at your gig.) 5*****

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks! I am looking forward to it!

[keithcraigo]

Great job, that's a nice song.

[grafikschwarzmarkt]

I'm sooo happy to hear that you really want to record a CD! I hope there is a way to get it - as i am from Switzerland. :)

[LeeshaHarvey]

If and when this CD gets done, I will definitely put all the tracks online to purchase--so you should be able to get them even in Switzerland! Thanks! ;-)

[victorolden]

This is the very good work

you is excellent

and your voice is wonderful

and everything very touchingly is professional (excuse for my poor English)

Your friend Olden]

[LeeshaHarvey]

I understand you perfectly, Olden! Thank you!

[nHisImage]

Leesha-

Welcome back, my friend. Love the new song and am so proud of you. You went from never doing a single gig to preparing to do a full length one in a handful of months. And now you have your own site and an album coming out! Look at God! Praise be to Him. I thank Him for you, you remind me that He is faithful to fulfill His promises and even our dreams.

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thank you, Omar! His faithfulness is indeed mind-blowing, especially considering that there was a time in my life where I thought I would never be able to play piano again (due to an injury)... and then just as quickly as I thought I'd lost it, He gave it back to me "pressed down, shaken together and running over"! What kind of grace is this? What a gracious, loving Father we have!

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Amen to that, Sister!

[SojaRenate]

gheheh and now back to the dishes, life never stops ;-)

Another great song! sometimes a bit hard to understand for me as a non-native speaker but thats okay 5 stars anyway!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Yes, I even have more dishes to wash now. ;-) Thanks for listening even though it doesn't make sense! :D

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

As always, a concise telling. Your transparency allows your words to flow so true and close to your soul that you automatically touch the same place in ours. The common thread of Truth and humanity sewn with precision and knowing binds your listeners. We feel as though we know you because you so eloquently express the tuggings of our own hearts. Melody, lyric and spirit all in accord once more. You're brilliant, but remember - there will always be dishes to do along the way! ~Jon

[LeeshaHarvey]

Jon, I tell you, your comments get more and more poetic! You could right the guide to "How to leave uplifting, inspiring comments on YouTube that will make a musician's day!" Appreciative and humbled as always...Leesha.

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Well, the words flow easily when properly inspired. Thanks Leesha.

[30framessec]

Leesha, I hope you achieve all the success you every wanted to have from your music. I know from this song the message is clear that whatever happens you will be grounded in the faith that always holds you close to the people you love.

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thank you--that is such an encouragment to me!

[Flap999]

Wow! Very nice!

[ourmathew]

Very very nice!

[glenncelliott]

once again you come up with a winner! Nice work!

[GrannyPanties30]

Yes!! It has been to long since you posted. But, I understand how busy life can be. Good luck on all the new ventures!

Another Great song Leesha! I cant wait till you have a CD!

olden

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thank you Olden!

[naitrose07]

I think is my new favorite...it has such a great chord progression and just sounds like a time weathered song that has already proven its worth. You can really tell your musical influences in this. Glad to see your back! I'm hoping that I will have a few more vids up soon, but I hate using the webcam it's hard to get relatively decent sound quality with it. Aces to you by the way for this 5 star work.

[LeeshaHarvey]

Looking forward to more songs from you, Naitrose07! Thanks for the great compliment!

[babs2002ukus]

[drmlabs]

"Critics and mockers" and

"Fans and well wishers"

great lyrics in those lines there. Very nice tune, thanks for posting!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks for listening! Glad you liked it!

[suuzzee5]

...and big congrats on the web site! It looks fantastic!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks for checking it out, suuzzee5!

[suuzzee5]

Leesha...this is so lovely! Your lyrics are astounding and the performance is, as always, peerless. As for that ending... lol...gotta go do some dishes...completely charming!

[jugnutgut]

IMO, your original songs are better than your covers. IOW, they are very very good. :)

[LeeshaHarvey]

That is a great compliment--thank you!

[Neumeg]

Thanks for coming back to your YouTube nation with another great song. Congrats on your continuing, and well deserved, success!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thank you!  It's good "to be back"! :D

[CasualDaveDotCom]

Great to have a new vid from ya, Leesha! Really cool tune, the lyrics are amazing, really well crafted, from the first stanza it's like a smack in the back of the head that says pay attention or you'll miss something! Dig the new website, Really nice setup that seems to fit you, casually elegant, and thanks for posting up those MP3's at such an accessible price, just curious, why is the one a penny more than the others? :)

[LeeshaHarvey]

The prices are different because I'm selling them through Amie Street, a site that has a built-in system that rewards people for buying tracks from unknown musicians. All songs start out free, then as more people download them, the price goes up. If listeners recommend the song to others, they get credit in their account to buy more songs... it's really cool! Check it out at amiestreet(dot)com.

[BarneyFife00]

Congrats on the gig!! Great tune by the way.

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks so much!

[Janzah]

wounds are?

[LeeshaHarvey]

Injuries, both physical and emotional. Being hurt. Does that help? :)

[Janzah]

wow thanks. I might just wanna write a song about that too. I love writing songs about weird english words. I once road a song about a "barbershop". so funny:P

keep up the singing and stuff!

[thiswaythat]

Leesha, you seem very comfortable as if the fame has settled on you well.

Great lyrics here!!

!! EVERYONE !!!

Go to the website and buy the songs! Yes, now, while she is doing the dishes, you can go spend some money to help support the new CD coming out!

Don't click the next video, i said go to her website... :))

(._.)

[Janzah]

I want a fan like you too! :)

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks for the promo, thiswaythat! :D

[fredthejunkman]

It's good to see you again. As always, wonderful lyrics. Would that I had your gift!

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks fredthejunkman! I hope I'm using it well!

[jkilcull]

i really like the strumming...

also great job on your website...

i am suggesting to all my friends who do web stuff that they check out PicLens Lite for their pictures... just go to their website to check it out...you may be interested...

i tried to send this through your regular Send Message link but...alas...i'm not a friend...

yet...

:)

[LeeshaHarvey]

Thanks for your suggestion!

[cyberwanderer]

Though I'm still trying to get my head around the proverb that inspired it, I like your song a lot. (You're so smart with your lyrics.)

I checked out your web-site... nice!

Best of luck with your upcoming headlining gig! I'd be there myself, but it'd be a three day drive, so, well... um, good as you are, uh, what with gas prices and all. (shrug) So hurry up with the CD, huh?! Can't wait for that! =D

Alright, I gotta go do some laundry now, so...

[LeeshaHarvey]

Yes, skip the drive!  Not worth it! :D Have you figured out the proverb yet?

[cyberwanderer]

Leesha, yes, I think I figured out that proverb. We should never trust anyone who tries to kiss us, and respect people who beat us up!

...Or is that an over-simplification? XD

[noliketoregister]

Salutations.

Excuse the intrusion, however perhaps an alternate translation might clear up your purported confusion.

Proverbs 27:6 (King James version)

"Faithful ARE the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy ARE deceitful."

Full caps used in lieu of italics.

Cheers :~)

[cyberwanderer]

noliketoregister, thanks for the clarification. All playfulness aside, here is where I truly have 'a heard time getting my ahead around' the Proverb Leesha puts out as this song's inspiration. ...Her music always fills me with an urge to compliment it. But now she's a throw me (us) a paradox... Compliments are kinds like 'kisses' ... And I have ZERO desire to 'wound'... So what's a poor paradoxically confused Sub like me to do?

'cause I REALLY LIKE THE SONG! =D

[stealth5976]

I Sent Ya A Message Your In My YouTube's Music Star's Vol.6 Series. I Will Add Your Site Link To my Website At Stealthysworld If Thats Ok With You Just Let Me Know! 5 Stars On Your New Song. Cheers And Take Care.

Dale

[LeeshaHarvey]

That's fine--thanks!

[gmdinformation]

You're gonna be big one day Leesha! (That don't mean lay off the pie!)

[LeeshaHarvey]

Ha, ha, ha! I laughed about that last line all day!  :D

[dangledog]

sooo much talent! Best Wishes from Oklerhomer!
