I saw this for the first time back in 2007 I think and, It reminds me that you´re so good. Hope everythings is great in your career and your life! You deserve it!
I'm in love with your voice+songs. Please grace Austin, TX sometime with your presence; I'll be sure to clap my hands off and spread the word like an old school newspaper boy
I've heard this song several times, and I love it!! Though I have one question... what colour are your eyes?!?! I really tell, but they're real pretty! Loves!! x
i think youre amazing ive just downloaded this song from i-tunes so im gonna keep an ear out for anything. this song is a gift the lyrics are perfect and youre voice is definatly a gift that you were meant to give to us all and we will treasure it forever
I love that new york sidewalk cd you made. I love when that person Rosie keeps yelling out for you to play this tune. I love the way you respond to her so much!!!
I caught you on the CD Baby Podcast... wow, I hope you take this the right way... you have an old soul. This song touched my 48 year old heart. Thanks, Dan Lueders
Hi, i found ya frew a discussion on Flickr, and dawn, this is absolutly perfect! i really love your songs and your style. i wanted to put a link to the page brought me here but i kinda lost it. anyway, please continue, i'll come around often and if one day you can be found in the disc-shop, tell me that and i'll wright you a cheq! :) pleased to meet you, good bye!
ok Allison, do not listen to people who say you don't have the vocals for your songs. Part of what makes them yours (for me) is that they are sung by you. Take Bright Eyes for example, when I first heard them I was like "dude, this guy can't sing for ****! But I appreciate their music because it's unique and it's their own sound.
You may not be a Mariah Carey or Celine Dion but who the hell wants another one of those around? I want original and different and girl thats you!
This is a great song, and I mean it has hit written all over it, but unfortunately for another singer. You really don't have the vocal chops or phrasing to deliver this song properly.
Your best bet is to submit it to a publisher who can work it and you can live off the subsequent composer royalties. Either that or you will need a fair amount of time with a vocal coach or use a lot of studio trickery to compensate for your vocal shortcomings (like Paula Abdul did on her albums).
annnnd you obviously dont know the style very well. vocals like hers are what makes this unique. like reylady27 says, vocals arent all about sounding ridiculous and poppy. her vocals are very original and soft and beautiful. in no way, should she change it. its the style you have to understand. its not poppy. and its not what you listen to on the radio everyday (although it should be!)
Anyways, beautiful song Allison! I'm buying your EP as I type this. Love your songwriting!
like ZeClassiqu said "Those lyrics really hit home" is very right, i can get your full emotion and i know how it feels to be left behind or forgotin. wow 1 trillion out of 10
Ally..find and listen to The Lovin Spoonful's "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" youTube IT and try that song in your own style..just like "In My Room"..I think you would do a nice job on it..try it!...I've been in Radio and Records for 25 years...I'd like to hear you try that! :-)
wow,I just found you tonight,and i'm listing to all your songs,and I love all the covers!! But for some reasone this one hit me,I really like it,alot!thanks Tim.
i love this song. you are fabulous. kind of edie brekell (brickell? brickel? whatever) ish. But better and not so commercial. Very very nice. keep doing that that you are doing.
boy is THAT person a jerk. Too bad they apparently missed all the beautiful lyric. That was so sweet and sad, it brought tears to my eyes. I wish you the best. And I LOVE your voice.
Great videos, I just pretty much watched all of them. Love them, is there anywhere to get the tabs, or chord pattern used in some of the songs? Especially 'I'm Ready' I love that song.
oh, so happy for new allison video! the video quality is so much better - it almost looks like it's been post-processed.
i love the walking bass line in the song. it's humbling listening to how good you are on the guitar. the vocals and lyrics are awesome too. staggeringly good all told. so excited for new videos - you should so get back into the weekly videos again :)
hey i have the chords... i don't know if allison will like me to post them here... so if you want them, just send me a message and i'll give them to you
I saw this for the first time back in 2007 I think and, It reminds me that you´re so good. Hope everythings is great in your career and your life! You deserve it!
