A Great Perhaps - Original Song

[iloveipodlinux]

She is beautiful. Stunning. And her voice...truly unreal. The lyrics are so methodical and the music composition has such a "Looking for Alaska" tone, this is honestly up to par with the book. If this story ever becomes a movie, record a master version of this song and send it to the studio - it would go SO well with the scene where Takumi and Pudge are setting off the fireworks and running like hell.

[balmandeel]

wow , chris amazing track , did u record a studio version ?? , did u write the lyrics urself ? , i know its based on the novel but great work man ,

i compose music as welll more of a piano man but the tempo at the beginning when u guys messed up was alot better than u ended up recording . it was on a 85 mp

[Voodooday2]

It is nice though the sound was better with the guitar further away from the mic, love the lyrics

[crazymactictac]

This song is amazing! Your singing is beautiful and the words are perfect! Is it okay that I recorded it and put it on my Ipod??

[agreatperhaps]

@crazymactictac Absolutely! And thank you so much!

-Chris

[evpinvestigations]

I believe you need a microphone for the vocals the music over powers a bit. Great Job, thumbs up

[RegiRevelry]

She's got a real nice voice, there! Really powerful lyrics and driving tone to the music. I like it. Lots.

I'm marathoning allll of your videos, now. I've an expectation of excellence, and strong hunch that expectations will be exceeded. :D

[lep1717]

i love this book, looking for alaska, and ive been fixated on the phrase"a great perhaps" ever since, i really loved this, thank you for creating it

Excellent job; kudos on getting John's nod of approval.

[Sandiedog11]

[arichtern]

I nominate you as best Nerdfighting singer ever. Do I have the power to even do that? OH well, I'm sure John and Hank would agree. His is such a beautiful song and your voice is made of 100% awsomeness.

[horsewhisperer990]

Wow. That was absolutelu amazing. I love Looking For Alaska, and your song totally represents the book. The singning and strumming and lyrics and all of those other components are flawless. I love it.

[8Tails]

Wow. That was one of the best songs about a book that isn't Harry Potter that I've ever heard.

[AlaskaYoung24]

That was amazing!!!

This is really awesome!

[poeticnight]

[riekathegifty]

"Ready?"

"Mmmhmm"

*Deep breath*

"No"

That's gold. Never forget to be awesome, but that would be hard because the combined awesomeness of you two is just too great to ever cease to exsist.

[agreatperhaps]

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you there ;)

-Chris

[RecycledPromise]

Great lyrics, and a lovely voice and guitar that bring it all together. do you have an mp3 download anywhere?

this song is pretty awesome

[ohmysydneydoll]

Great song! :] I'm glad that someone came up with a song for The Great Perhaps.

P.S. John, you totally did inspire this. (In a way haha) Yeah and jsyk, 'Looking For Alaska' is one of my favorite books. Totally un-pornographic. :D

[agreatperhaps]

t actually started as a poem ;)

But, yes, thanks to John's book showing me some insight into the world of Last Words, I'd not have been able to write it.

-Chris

[agreatperhaps]

it*

I'm such a typing noob.

[vlogbrothers]

Great song. Great singing! I'm very grateful if I inspired it in even a small way. Thanks for sharing this with me! -John

[agreatperhaps]

You really did. I emailed you a long time ago saying I was an aspiring writer and asked if you'd read some of my stuff. Well, you didn't due to legality business, but you did tell me to "keep writing." And that is just what I did.

-Chris

[manduhhxn]

[XOREILLA]

Awesome! Cannot wait to see more.

[ursazzeda]

You guys are adorable.
