James (new original song!)

[isaiahezekiel25]

@riffroof, Gosh, those classics, haven't heard her rendition in years. Man, what I would do to hear her version of Sade's Kiss Of Life.

[ysabellabrave]

@isaiahezekiel25 I had that up here before I had to remove it for copyright issues.

[isaiahezekiel25]

@riffroof, good to hear. Would love to see more videos of her. She's an inspiration.

[isaiahezekiel25]

I just read the lyrics. Are you implying a demise is imminent?

[riffroof]

@isaiahezekiel25,

Although she has been ill for a long time, MaryAnne is very much alive. I know that your good wishes and prayers for her and for her family will mean a lot to her. Regarding her lyrics to this and two other original songs, MaryAnne posted a video with some explanations on her ysabellabrave talk channel a while back. Enjoy!

[isaiahezekiel25]

This is really good. I agree, this is one of the best. However I do like the classics as well. Where are they anyway, in a safe?

[riffroof]

@isaiahezekiel25,

In December 2008, both MaryAnne's YouTube channels were suspended due to copyright issues. After they were reinstated, all of her cover songs on YouTube were made private. MaryAnne provided a more detailed explanation in her 2008 "Happy Mother's Day" video on her ysabellabravetalk channel.

[positivesoldier]

Ssssso beautiful. I love you.

[therabbitslayerr]

i wish my sis would love me as much as you love your brother

[KyHazard]

This remains my fav!

[bigboppa8]

Honestly do not know what it is, but song haunts me in many wonderful ways. Your beautiful, talented and mesmerizing!!! The video is simple, sweet and works in many many ways. Your in my top 10 so keep it up Ysabellalicious :}

[TinksiehTink]

I feel a little Kate Bush-y listening to this song, it is really good!

[CHADOW66]

beautiful

[artistpodguy]

So so so glad to have you in my life.

Believe it or not I love you.

[sugar62108]

My own brother is moving to Oregon from California next weekend, so I found this song very appropriate right now. We've never lived more than 45 minutes apart in nearly 24 years...Please pray for my family as we adjust to this, YB. Much appreciated!

[Lupitamihita]

I don't know how I missed this song. Love it. You are one classy dame.

[yunazzi]

i miss your old songs :(

[Altinget]

Really cool.

I like the way you start with a sound that is blended with the word "James", you almost don't notice it.

[Clamchucker]

This is one of your best . . .

[bndock]

that still a good song

[noahsstarship]

Im so glad you got to visit and see your brother James last summer MaryAnne. I know it made you so Happy. I pray you will get to do it again. Family is so important, when there is Love.

[stephenburtondepp]

I like it you really can sing and you look like Marilyn Monroe

[CelSlade]

wow! got goosebumps! I cant believe Ive never come accross you before- well- Im a convert. And I absolutely adore your Dream a little Dream version. It's one of my fav songs and your take an it is amazing. As are you.

[oxtheravenxo]

Really one of the best songs in the whole wide world. But it´s only my opinion. Real worth listening to, anyway.

[michelle82478]

pretty song.

made me sad, but I liked it.

[jwwetzel]

weiird you wrote a song about me and you don't even know me!! hmm, flattering nonetheless! :)

[CatFlashBlue]

duh it was for her BROTHER hehe. Long lost are you?

[jwwetzel]

haha yep!

[st2hallock]

you , your voice, and your cat are awesome

[richard833]

why is this so sexy for your brother? lol

[xmisfitkittenx]

This song is truly beautiful just like you :)

I love you Ysabella :D

Your songs and advice keep me going :)

[therabbitslayerr]

i love this fucking song!!

[Martastic00]

That's amazing Ysabella! Is there a history behind the song - although, if it's too personal that's quite alright. Thank you for your music - when I'm upset I play one of your videos and am able to smile.

[jobubbles10]

why do you recommend headphones?

Nice song and Voice!

[lifesavid]

I am James but unfortunately not your brother. You are an angel and I surely hope you have achieved much happiness and success for your talent warrents it.

[xcherryflavoredx]

Holy crap- Ysabella, you are just purely amazing!!! You need to become the next Marilyn. Let us know if there's a new CD, pwease!!!!!!!! xxx

[canisaymore]

wow once more! i love all of her new stuff!where can i get the cd!!!

[jamierourketen]

she is pretty,but this song goes nowhere. sounds very 80s

[canvasofdreams75]

you look so beautiful

[nwilliams1001]

This is so beautiful and charming. Even though it was made last year, I still love watching. You look gorgeous in this video Ysabella and the song is wonderful. Definitely my favourite of all your originals.

[HOORAYHONCRAY]

wow!where did you come from.There was i happily getting James tracks and this appears!?Love the track-stetienne meets Goldfrapp with class.Very talented lady.Keep it going!

[sandra1731]

You look a bit like Marilyn Monroe, really beautiful - just like your vioce, it's wonderful!

[John70M]

This style is a reserve for the stars with a big money at the MUSIC EXPERIMENTAL!!!

[JuliousJive]

Marry me

[CatFlashBlue]

What the hell! Do you even know her in person?

[weweewew]

Does it matter ? :)

[CatFlashBlue]

Hmm... If it's one of those "love at first sight" I guess not... it's just kind creepy and all "online predator" if you know what I mean.

[Anonandon]

I second that emotion - your voice is amazing!

p.s. as you've disabled comments on some other videos may I just say your version of "love me two times" is both musically and visually incredible

best of luck whatever you decide, please email me if you ever put out a cd!

[John70M]

This style leave to END of career.

[diegopiratacba]

te amo ysabelle !!!

[ClutchPedalReturnSpr]

Hello Ysabella, I hadn't Thought about them in a long time,but I am glad the scary monsters in the dark are long gone.

From Crabb,Texas, with love,

CLutchPedalReturnSpring

[enchiladah]

Why don't you make your own Cd?

[phyllodough]

ysabella, I stubled upon your videos while looking up Blue Bayou. This video proves to me you have some real talent ... I wonder how much of you is made up of vocal chords and ham! Nice work, I hope to visit your entire collection soon... BTW, where is the album?

[adrianalimalima]

yeah, you're good!

[CatFlashBlue]

You make seem like you're talking to him... you know... 'beyond the grave'. I don't mean to bring up the question, but did something happen to him?

[serialthriller1968]

This was breathtaking.

[bellezeki]

I stumbled upon your work totally by mistake, but I'm so grateful- everything has a purpose. You are beautiful, including your spirit. Keep on rockin'.

[Firebabie211]

I watch your videos here and there and I think you are amazing, you're talented in so many ways, which I'm sure you've heard a million times. It was this song made me want to cry though. The lyrics are beautiful - sad but hopeful. God bless (him & you).

[OsvaldoPaese]

This is great!

[marshmallow163]

luv it!

[AppleHouse]

Omg, wtf, how can one person be so talented. So not fair..

[scottmanrox]

Awesome, I love you. :)

[badboydeano]

I adore this video it's very Madonna.

[alphanumeric1971]

I get more of a annie lennox vibe myself

[JustTheWayYouAre]

I love this video and get more of an Ysabella Brave vibe than anything.

[glazeguy]

Nice work, cool vid, keep em comin'...

[nadax]

i love you ysabella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lorearmus]

Unfortunately, some individuals feel that they have to be negative to be heard. They want to be 'different' and stand out from the rest. Most don't realize that all they are doing is showing their jealousy and pettiness; others do and don't care.

By the way, if you were to...=P

[vaughnd13]

cool vid and I like the song

[apowellz]

Wait a minute... I want to hear the original!

How could the original beat this?!

[FSA1990]

adequate

[ynda20]

I love the variety of moods you can display. The lyrics in this appears to me to be a very sad (indeed almost spooky) but it is sung in a way to disguise the true sadness. Separation, illness (or worse?). Wow. Excellent. I like the Super-8mm camera effect too: Excellent production values. Keep up the original music work (as well as the covers!)

[kenshinnokoi26]

i absolutely love you and your songs.. you're amazing.

[Mike1375]

Very nice. I had to play it a couple times to get used to it, but it is becoming a favorite. It is copywrited, so may I have permission to make a copy for my collection?

[BippityBoppityBop]

You look so old hollywood glamour. I think this might be my favorite song of yours.

[LeeshaHarvey]

You wrote, recorded, and produced the song and then did the music video all yourself! That's amazing, girl! Keep up the amazing work!

It's sort of like a cross between Annie Lennox and Madonna, with Marilyn Monroe looks. ;-)

[terclaeys]

I think this is a really interesting piece. Love the versatility you show in your work. The more stylized approach works with the subject and angst in the song. You have a great eye and ear for your work.

[starsearchreject]

I like it - reminds me a bit of Tori Amos:)

[vharrild]

this is terrible

[fallman242]

What's terrible? That you'll never have a small fraction of Ysabella's talent? Or that its over your head?

[renethel]

you are a better version of MaDonna! Rock on Ysabella!

[ellisdrecords]

beautiful, just take the "Madonna" out of it and add a bit more "you"

[faithsalon]

you scare me.

[heerolocke]

Excellent song, very catchy and ambient. I watched Machine and keep singing the chorus randomly during the day.

[loveabeyta]

this not to be mean...but...do u smoke? ya know..weed...im seriously not trying to be mean..but sometimes you look like u are out of it...seriously

[BippityBoppityBop]

I think this is my favorite ysabella song!

[MarilynFinland]

I love this! And your cute Marilyn -look ;)

[lorearmus]

The longing haunts this song but at the same time there's a constant bubbly flow. Hard to describe. Nice interplay of emotions. Love the song.

[slkisstephanie]

you are soo talented...i had only listened to the re-makes that you have done...but this is soo new and fresh...I can't say which I love best...keep it up!

[superasn]

hello.. has any music label signed you yet?

[SororityGirl08]

you are starting to remind me alot of a new madonna..... maybe its the short blonde hair but your sound is making that transition aswell... i'm loving it all.... keep it up!!!

[zorba573]

I come back and watch James time after time, this video is the greatest I've seen of your work. It is unbeleiveable. Great creativity and art!

[mvmays]

This is wonderful creativity coupled with lovely vocals and arrangement. 5 Star Performance in my book any day....

Michael

[espressotruths]

= / It always makes me sad when you use a lot of echo, cause then it makes it hard to hear the clarity of your beautiful voice.

[Meko5]

Even after so long this is still one of my absolute favorites, so original and great!!

[Sweet123321lover]

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE MUSIC!

[artistpodguy]

Am so looking forward to more original art from you beautiful. Love and Respect from a fan from Arlington Virginia.

[Fingersallabout]

Thanks for allowing my video response...as a songwriter, it's great to have talent like yourself helping to promote my stuff! Thanks to those who check it out, and especially to you, MaryAnne!

[songpidgeon]

cool editing! awesome stuff!

kisses,

Sarah

[albazhou]

you're look amazing! kind of like Roxie from Chicago, but 100000 times better. I'm so jealous, I wish I could sing like you!

[triceyhopson]

omg....you are totally seriouys. i love this song. james should be so damn proud! i love you!!!!

[Nefftyda]

This is so beautiful! I love it, it's been stuck in my head all day.

[Robinho1479]

this is seriously good. you have a great voice, great looks and the song is really good too. The more i listen to it the better it gets, and the more the echo makes sense. you've done really well. Your voice is familiar yet different, if that makes any sense. Really well done and good luck for the future.

[funeralmonkey]

I love your voice! Your music is so cool.Someone needs to get you a record deal soon....

[nurfla]

Somebody already has!

[BirdsAreRealNeat]

im james not yur brother but iknow this was retten fo rme

[GoneIsGone]

Oh, this is a very moving song. The lyrics are wonderful. I have two brothers, and miss them like crazy, now that we've moved so far away. Still, some bonds can never be broken.

[inkrambles]

I like you and I wish you success.

[e11e6275]

a little too much echo i think

alittle less and it would be reallllyy good!

[ueberRegenbogen]

Too much reverb for my ears.

Nice song, though. :)

[hiddenmind]

wow again!

[therabbitslayer]

I love this song! Your brother has a good name ;)

[xtrawld]

Ya, I do enjoy this one better....I catch myself singing a bit of this song at least once a week. Different strokes for different folks I presume, but you still do an awesome job every time you sing/make a vid. :)

[Ruhe1986]

Absolutely magnificent vid. I'm guessing your brother is in the military or just lives abroad. Were you really going to go visit him?

[MissDemeter]

Gah, I listen to this every day. You look so bloody gorgeous in this one. And I loooooove the breathiness of your voice in this.

[zejeblue]

You. Are. _Amazing_

I love you.

[User314082]

What happened to James? has he passed on?

[mariayaneza]

You are soooo cute! Come visit my page sometime. I'm 12 and I write my own songs too :)

[theremixphilly]

nice- sorry so late- but I like it- beautifully sweet yet dark too

[mmrknelsen]

Dark!! That is the word I was not thinking of, there is something that lurks underneath the surface of this music. It's fantastic, I liked Ysabella somewhat before, but I am crazy about her original music

[michrohe]

I can't wait until you have a CD out!

[sala19843714]

true dat!

[irpogo]

WOW-

more original works please--wow.

[bunnierabbits]

i hear tori amos and kate bush as influences. nice taste.

[cybervigilante]

And it's even better since my name is James ;') Reminded me of my older sister, who I miss, though.

[3vil1]

Trance-y. I like!

[3vil1]

Are you trying to sound like Bjork?

[1hitwoon]

yeah I can t wait !!

how did you make the beat which program do you use?

[TearsAndRoses]

ok me headphone were unplugged lol.sorry im half asleep ann^^

anyway great video.you rules ! love ya^^

[TearsAndRoses]

there's a problem with the video.i cant hear the sound of it...when i can of all others..so ye...any ideas dear?i rly love that one and wonder why cant hear it anymore.

[xkxk2929]

I love this song!

[Watabird]

Your the best! You're so cute at the end!

[nds87]

More than welcome. And thank you for sharing your wonderful voice. Hearing this song made me want to get back in touch with my sister, we had a bad falling out but have mended fences and are glad to be involved in each others lives, its silly i know but thanks for helping(hug).

[nds87]

did u record and edit the song urself for the backing tracks or was done in a professional studio? it was quite good

[wolfgangss]

friggin WOW you are awsome!!! this song is GREAT!

[FuhQTube]

Hey Ysabella... long time listener, first time writer... :-) Do you have the lyrics to this song online somewhere?

[bodyandbrain]

how long did this take you to make? this is definely the best video on your channel. Great songwriter

[cooldood42]

i think iv commented on this video before but my god what a good song

[starpuck]

Ya' know...That was really good!

[Moonchimes]

Hauntingly beautiful. 5 stars and favorited.~Moonchime

[looklemonade]

Woah, it seriously reminds me of Alanis Morisette.. it's great though, I love it!

[majorgeek]

Excellent! It reminds me of something between Portishead or Kosheen. Love your voice on these original songs!

[TJOHZ]

I really like it...wish I could save it to my P.C. or MP3 player.

[cybervigilante]

Actually, you can save flvs to your computer, but the Macromedia folks have made that obtuse for some reason. You can even get codecs to play them bigger and better looking on WMP. You just have to search google for "download or grab flv" and you'll find software. Splitting the soundtrack off isn't that hard, either, although I think the presentation is a lot of it. But you can always remember that ;')

[enticia]

'Love' that this is an 'original' piece! I am the last of eleven children 3 brothers and 7 sisters. James is the 10th child in my family. It is also the name of my landlord... and a wild cat I adopted as a kitten last fall from his backyard! Not to mention that 'is' my favourite book in the bible! Blessings... E!

[mobo0515]

always wonderful!

[That80sGuy1972]

Wow! Beutiful, brilliant... and now TALENTED!

I have a brother who I love very much too, so I actually felt this song deeply.

[Clarachk]

WONDERFUL! I have a brother too, whom I miss... A LOT. I love this song and think it's brilliantly inspiring. It brought me back to a place in my life I cherish with all my heart. Thank you for sharing this with us Ysy! p.s... it's in my fave's now. ;0)

[SoulSeekerHS]

Well, unarguably people seem to like it.

Not my cup of tea tho... I just love all the old soul, jazz etc classics you do, and would love to see original material from you in that style. But well, I dont wana put down your effords. I dont have to like it to respect you for it.

Cheers

[JustinSk8er]

SOOOOOOOO GOOD MAKE MORE I LOVE IT!!!!

[INSAINNIKKI]

Oh My god this was so good i wish i could write songs like that i was gonna write a song for school but i dunno what to write about so i gave up and am doing an artwork, but that is awesome!

INSAINNIKKI

[queentut5]

This needs to be remixed professionally and on the radio!! You need a record label. You're incredible.

[corpuswow]

Bravo! YOU DID It! You finally Did It! Your singing and video was absolutely Top Notch. This video show cases your absoulte talent! Congratulations. I'll link this one on my website.

[ReliableInsider]

Thee at three. What chubby cheeks, and such love.

[captainslimmi]

love it love it love it!!!!

[shugerthief]

shredder looks exactly like my jax. <3

[jojocinema]

Yes, another beautiful song and you looked gorgeous in a kinda Marilyn Monroe--since it was done in black & white. Keep up the good work!!

jojocinema

[tacobellgurlie20]

wow! you out did yourself! this is amazing!

[lovevsabsence]

not my cup of tea.

you look pretty though.

[MKindle]

Jesus, i've fallen in love with yiu right now. Certainly my favorite! It was a hard pickbefore, but now you've raised your own bar.

[ayshia2u]

LOVED IT! definantly unique in every aspect.

[transuerutherford]

as always, GREAT, nice to see real talent

[chronaden]

Was like Bowie, Björk and Lynch all rolled up in a nice little package, loved it! :)

[cwhedon]

Y....Very nice(as always) and as to those who slam and put down, they are usually those who can't do! Keep it up and never let the bastards get you down!

[bodyandbrain]

you have haters?! i just cannot believe that, i have listened to you music for ages now and love your own songs. My favourite now is fade into you,

best wishes,

[KristieFlamingo]

I love watching all your videos and what is great and a dilemma at the same time for me is that you post regularly. usually i like to watch one or two videos over and over again, but with so many new things to watch, i end up staying on the computer longer than i intended to. loveeeee you!

[oneirik]

I love this song.... but i *hate* the clap. I hate it in any song so I'm not attacking you or anything lol. Please tell me you're pursuing something in either theater or music...

[louietheactor]

I couldnt get this out of my head all day and before i went to sleep and today and.... ha as soon as i woke up i had to watch it :D :D:D

ahhhhh I like it...

but then again ...

I like all of your videos

[SWEETDEE007]

so beautiful! brava! brava! ysabellabrave!!! brava!

[cervie77]

This reminds me very much of Tori Amos, I like it.

How's this Cordless deal treating you Maryanne?

Lot of haters on you lately.

Ah, the price of fame.

[wickeddarkness]

:) I listened to this yesterday and it kept playing in my head when I was trying to fall asleep ^^

[brindlegirltwist]

You are so beautiful...

[nicolasprov]

you look very out of time :) Do you wish you were on the 50s? Amazing picture, outstanding your brother must be like awesome sis, he must be proud.
