Ode to my Family - Tamara Laporte - Cranberries

[agapemom1952]

I listened to almost all the covers, then to the Cranberries, and I can honestly say you sang it better than any of them! You took what sounded like a mediocre song and turned it into the beautiful song it is! Keep singing Willowing you are awesome!

Lieve Tamara,

Wat ben je een kanjer en wat een prachtig lied, ontroerend, jammer, dat oma dit niet heeft mogen horen.

Groeten van je tante Hester

Wat heb je een leuk gezinnetje.

[EddieCurrentFan]

[alaskafolkart]

LOL..was just watching your rants in the description. So funny. I feel the same way. I film these hd films of Alaska, and they look like crap unless you click on the little HD link. Then it takes forever for them to load on my machine.

Your video is beautiful anyway.

[Clarachk]

GORGEOUS! One of my fave tunes. My Dad used to see the Cranberries when they were wee in the bars in Northern Ireland. He frequented the bars where they did regular gigs. I love this particular album and you did a smashing job! Reminds me of sitting in my bedroom as a teen with a tape recorder and this track or another.. trying to do what you put together here. I love it!!!! FIVE STARS GIRLY GIRL!

[1JustBreathe]

WOW! Are you joking? What talent! Beautiful!

[willowing]

hee hee. :)))) thank you angel!!! x

[burgernfries45]

Made a mistake. the 10,000 Maniacs song is called "Like the Weather". You still rule!

[burgernfries45]

That was beautiful. You have such range, and an unbelievably expressive voice. I wish I had a cd of your singing to add to my collection of painting music. If you take requests, I think you could do amazing things with Suzanne Vega's "Small Blue Thing" and 10,000 Maniacs "Rainy Day". Just a thought.

[sweetisobella]

Tam, You did it again, you're an amazing singer and pionist (sp).

Is there no end to this beautiful ladies tallent??  I doubt it...

I agree about the bad quality of some videos, mine are so clear at home but when they go on YouTube they look sooooo blury :o(

Sort yourselves out YouTube !!!

Love to you Tam xx jo xx

[willowing]

thank you so much sweet isobella (i love your username!!) i know the vid quality here is maddening!!

[lucyjohnny123]

You gave me goose bumps. Beautiful ;-)

[willowing]

aw. thank you! x

[daligoddess2006]

The angels surround you my dear. They lend you their voices. Or, could it be that you are truly an angel yourself? Yep. That's it. You hang out with the angels because you are an angel in human clothing.

[willowing]

ehehe. thanks kim. not sure about me an angel though! ;) i got lots of demon in me. ;)

[lisacole690]

beautiful :) ... xoxo

[willowing]

hey lisa. thank you. blowing kisses!!! xoxoxo

[ginnykaren]
