[ndiboomer]

My Mother died of breast cancer in 1995. This made me remember the rough times, and the good times as well, and they all bring tears, because they were all good times in the end.

THANK YOU NATALY AND LAUREN!

This is gold.

[Eichel1972]

I love You !!

[MarcfromTreasureNet1]

I don't get all of the excitement- I I think it is kind of GAY!

[Halle123clubpeng]

Does this make me sound like a brat when i say ..:

I wish there was more of Natalys singing. :(

I said it. There. Said and doneeee.

But i love Lauren too.(:

[ArchersBowHaveBroken]

I like that at 3:02 she flashes a micro-expression of happiness after she says "so much to live for"

[Xoebear]

You guys should TOTALLY do a Love Rollercoaster cover!! I think you'd sound beautiful, as seen from the rest of your videos. ;)

[kd5hoh]

@Xoebear Good song but...

[LivithiumRocker]

I saw you on a car commercial

[Eliemarieee]

Dear Nataly and Lauren,

Please never stop what you do.

Sincerely,

Elie

[Dapperdan2009]

i loooooooveee this song.

[ND3L0]

Nataly looks like my friend Jessi but sounds like my friend Nellamie. <3 Great mix of amazing beauty! <3

[rjgrace]

Whoa! Don't know who is writing the lyrics, but keep it up, please. Songs with such theological depth are priceless, specially when they sound so damned good.

[IxTASTExBETTER]

This song makes me so emotional. It's absolutely beautiful. <3

[MrWmkahlor]

these kids are what we need to see what music is all about, Crazy kookie and fun. nataly Jack and lauren are very good and should be very famous soon- very soon. If I had the ability to buy them soap I'd be their manager

[RainbowzXD1]

@MrWmkahlor In my eyes they are already famous.

[jbruder]

This project is really exciting. I look forward to picking up the EP in the next couple of days.

Anyone know the name of the song in the road trip portion?

[dalekenjarvis]

The lyrics are perfect!!

[OurFathersTorch]

"Question with boldness even the very existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." --Thomas Jefferson

[Dave1152HIS]

I love you guys! Thank you so much for the joy you bring to a sometime dreary world.

I thing God has blessed you and I will be praying for your continued success. And I agree with so many others, you are cute, all of you, even Jack!

[Dave1152HIS]

I love you guys! Thank you so much for the joy you bring to a sometime dreary world.

I thing God has blessed you and I will be praying for your continued success.

[Americanguy822]

I think we always tend to see the prayers that don't get answered and ignore the ones that do. And sometimes god not answering our prayers is the best move.

[epicpwnftw]

Amazing songs, amazing videos.. Love it.

[ZechsMerquise73]

"In the old testament we'd get fire and torment

But the new one says something 'bout healing"

Most, if not all, of the scriptures people associate with "fire and torment" are found in the new testament. The "old one" talks equally about a restored earth (IE, "healing") as the new testament.

I had the opportunity to wait in an oncology ward while my friend went in for his chemo treatment one day. Its the saddest place I've ever been. The nurses didn't want me there, I looked so sad.

[LylaRochelle]

I love this, so much. :)

[BrotherJonny]

simple and simply beautiful. i love you nataly. =)

[jocularity13]

I've finally found lyrics to describe how I feel as I am seeing the world in new eyes after losing my religion. I'm actually at peace now. Very well written and performed.

[pabloven64]

I really wanted to say something poignant about "Dying to Live", but in lieu of that, I'll just say.. ahem... Wow! :-)

[chucm998]

I never said she sounded like Justin beiber, but she could pass as the little dipshits very pretty older sister

[infinitelycloser]

God Nataly is so beautiful <3 Love her singing too :)

[luvmissa]

I keep thinking about this song, over and over and over. Even a month in, it still haunts me. Keep it coming.

Cheers,

Missa

[Moosegumps]

Beautiful hand! Oh, the song is great too.

[chucm998]

you kinda look like justin beiber

[friolief]

@chucm998 NO. JUST NO. //ANGSSTTTT//

[angle021]

I keep coming back to listen to this =) It's amazing, lyrics and all.

[lollerskatez1]

I would love to play this song..... Could you send me some chords or post em somewhere? I would very much appreciate it!

[AnitaCal]

listening to an old kate nash song?!

[pinkbecky]

Your songs are so interestingly constructed. You present us with a beautiful, heartbreaking song where I'm almost brought to tears, but once it ends the video turns into a comedic outake of your lives which ends up making me laugh until my stomach hurts. Love it. <3

[tabitwin]

hah! i live in northern indiana and we have a taqueria and a tapas restaurant

[pvn52]

Nat- This is songwriting at its best. The words and music are so finely and beautifully crafted. Brilliant work. Extraordinary, really. And an emotional break though... My thoughts are with you.

[pvn52]

[GeeEmOh]

this reminds me so much of feist

[fluxstringer]

Nataly, Lauren, what a delicate thread you weave. To write and perform a song about this subject without it becoming morose or sugary is true mastery !

[fluxstringer]

@WadeC0 How does discussing your hatred of Apple add to the discussion of this video?

God, I even run into this stuff on Mac sites. If you hate the system simply chose not to participate.

[aignerclark]

thank you.

[ilovebroadway19]

However, it is a wonderful song that sparked many emotions in me.

[ilovebroadway19]

Is it just me, or am i the only person that knew right off the back that they were referring to cancer? When they talk about waiting for poison to cure us, they refer to the chemo, and dying to live, refers to all of the treatments that make them weaker, in hope that It'll cure the cancer. When you have cancer, you tend to turn your back on the lord for a while, thinking that he doesn't care. That's why they say "if i were god, i'd do this" and they start doubting his listening.

[0007asj]

u r very pretty

[DonkeyCanMoo]

this is so in the same tower as ray lamontagne...no better!

love it.

i'm gonna make every1 i know listen.

idc if they dont want to. THEY WILL!!! lol

BEAutiFULL!

[bigwilli25]

You guys show no life in your videos. It's dull. Give it some energy

[nitro0555]

@bigwilli25 Have you noticed what this song is about? It would be totally inappropriate to make a happy song out of this..

[dudusagaz]

You have a very beautiful face I'm your fan owns the angelic voice

[InkyDeadblood]

Loved the song, and I loved the little "Bird and The Bee" Cameo at the end.

[jaw0405]

wow ur voice is so unique,love this song though!!!!

[caspodawg]

I like you guys because your music is pure. :)

[zaratejosecarlos]

Nice ovation

[loveOtacos]

its really pretty i love her voice its amzing its a really pretty song too i am gonna try to get it on i tunes:) good job

[Littlebizzer]

I love this song.... the melody is beautiful! :) <3

[LittleBigBabytiger28]

I love that you have emotion when you sing. Other people are very boring when they don`t give you that feel. And I enjoy listening and watching you sing! And the name of the song is to die for LOL. But I rather live to listen to you sing.

[hAirharehair]

I love you guys! =D

[fourunerr]

i didnt mean nataly you.. i mean your friend..sings to fast and country..

[fourunerr]

hi nataly and new friend...i love tour music...but with all your respect.. your sweet voice is hypnoticing...your friend makes your vids. look to country.. music...sorry

try not so much to sheryl crow..

[OhAnnaVapours]

The line "when we pray are we just closing our eyes" (at 2:34) is pure genius to me. It says so much about praying. On one hand, it's nice that you can always take a moment to "meditate" and relax (closing your eyes and avoiding stress), but on the other hand it's a question about how much of a difference praying makes as opposed to action. When we pray, are we avoiding confrontations and effort? Are we taking the easy way out? Are we ignoring the pain and suffering we see by not acting on it?

[jakass317]

@OhAnnaVapours they didnt write it. the whole album (ep) Room for ghost are covers

[OhAnnaVapours]

@jakass317 I don't think this song is a cover... Holy Roller Novocaine is by Kings of Leon, and Diamonds and Gold is by Tom Waits, but as far as I can see, The Daylight Here, When I Decide, and Dying To Live are by Nataly Dawn and Lauren O'Connell.

[LIAxx7]

@jakass317 Who wrote Dying to Live then?

[singstaryo]

@LIAxx7 Uhm, they wrote it.

[JohnJohnisrad]

This is absolutely beautiful. I love this. 

[kornxgurl]

tweaker, duh! very good voices though! well done

[silmikaf]

This is what you get when you collaborate two geniuses like Nataly and Lauren, I could hardly breathing. Love it!

[veggiet2009]

I have to be honest, I haven't been much of a fan of this folksy new colab, but this song I like...

[AHproductions2008]

watch her nose.....AWESOME song by the way

[SONGSTICKS]

God I love Natalies singing.. such emotion and boy is she cute too !!!

[poultryhead]

beautiful

[katyagorm]

"they'd be like I DON'T NEED A MASSAGE WHY WOULD I GO THERE?" roflmao i love both of your girls' humor. you seem like badass chicks to hang out with.

[pcbp1981]

I just love your voice Nataly - and the bonus is that my daughter at 2 years is completely quiet when she hears this song! Love it!!

[jesjoc31]

your lyrics and tone are very powerful and yet the song has a fragile sound to it and the piano and guitar parts totaly enhanced that effect all in all it was amazing and keep up the good work

[PengPROducktions]

im crying :C

[Minireb123]

Nataly, your voice continues to be one of the most peaceful voices I've ever heard.

[CTP124]

every time I listen to this song I get covered in goosebumps..... in a good way ;)

[onexrocks]

MARRY ME!!!!!!!!!

[GreenEyez135]

@MyTerribleFriend I feel like the meaning in these lyrics are blatantly there... But I feel like I only grasp a portion of it. Could you possibly explain your thoughts on this song that you wrote?

[DaisyGraceA]

This song is so... perfect. When it's winter I'm gonna make it my ringtone :-P

[nbcuni]

Ok. I just listened to this song 5 times in a row. I should probably buy it.

[dandilla8D]

mm, i know that when i pray, im praying to my Savior! And I would way rather live for Him than for this world.

[onikiba]

@dandilla8D then why dont you kill yourself?

[ShawnLightfoot]

That's a beautifully constructed song you've got there, and I like the quality in your vocals. I could listen to this song for days.

[ttererauld]

I fell in love with this song.

[ataque33]

hey ladie! i like your song, du you have writte the lyrics?

De verdad, sigue componiendo musica "!

[MrGre8ness]

nataly, i was your mothers waiter today, and when i told her my dad is dying from brain cancer she told me to look your song up, i know now God hears me when i pray, faith is all i need, God bless you , ill pray for him.

[beeboxes]

what was the song at the end on the radio! arg!

[TaylorMattix]

@beeboxes It's called "Fucking Boyfriend" by The Bird and the Bee. :D

[beeboxes]

@TaylorMattix oh, awesome! i've never heard that one before. i'm a HUUGE fan of the bird and the bee.

[Peteisme1115]

@beeboxes if you ever find it let me know to >.<

[Nelenaluverfly]

shes not dull

shes not a fake that flirts with the camera

shes actually getting into the song

[CPMILLER]

I love the piano part in this, and of course the song! lol

[makilgore06]

@WadeC0 First off, fuck you. I offered to buy the music directly from the artist, in a different form factor, or any other way except iTunes. Just because you buy in to an anti-consumerist company whose only goal is to fragment the technology sector in to pieces to halt the flow of information UNLESS it goes through their servers, doesn't mean everybody else has to. And they can sell their music directly over PayPal. Get real, you're contributing to a terribly unethical company.

[SPDLST]

I love you girls. Your music is so deep. Xo

[angle021]

The chorus is amazing. And so is this line, "But we're full of the facts it's the cross on our backs."

[makilgore06]

@MacDimm First off, fuck you. Second off, iTunes isn't a purchase, but a lease, and your right to listen to, transport, or play the intellectual property on any other device is not guaranteed for life and can, in fact, be rescinded at any time. If I buy it, I own it. If I rip it, I own it. Either way I will own it, but I will not use Apple software for this reason among many, many others. A horrible, poisonous, anti-competitive, anti-consumer hipster machine; Apple can die in a fire.

[carlos1234567898765]

just bought it off itunes... <3

[cindya112]

i love the shirt.... return of the Yeti :) epic? i think yes

[carmelita01]

verry nice

[lusevenucky]

i must say that the nose flare is cute as hell...reminds me of birds of paradise....those extra amenities that add to the already intoxicating effect of sound and movement

[derekmasses]

"when we pray are we just closing our eyes"

best line.

I just came across your music tonight. It's a nice song but I think I enjoyed your facial expressions more. haha

[Zontertes]

my terrible friend showed up just in time. i ran out of cat power and belle & sebastian had to leave. thank you

[tbstrasser]

Another great song...and once again cheers from Eire!

[buttrock321]

Wow! I kind of luv u guys where I typically wouldn't.

[jlbksmith]

This is fantastic. Each song is better than the next. I'm whipped.

[Irflyrose]

why is her username that and why is her songs so sad??well some of them

[UncleFizzmo]

@Irflyrose

Because you're adopted/

[stormcloud847]

@Irflyrose her real name is Nataly Dawn, as is her real username natalydawn. this is a repost on the youtube account of a collab band between her and another girl, Lauren O'Connell.

[makilgore06]

Can I buy this CD like.. from you? I don't use iTunes, and won't as a matter of principle, but I would love to legally own your music. Or I can just rip it off of Youtube. Please message me if you'd prefer the former.

[MacDimm]

@makilgore06 So you're against legally purchasing music online, but are fine with ripping it off youtube?...........

[angle021]

This is so very precious. Love this.

[mousyrara113]

I  LOVE YOU

[ProducersDen]

Simple. Soulful. Very Nice.

[extravirginclean]

Moaning fart indigestion diarrhea gas chili peppers sounds..= music in this last generation?

[raefan180]

i really like your voice it's so pretty and the lyrics are awesome :)

[weezbird]

Brilliant!

[rkken2009]

I actually really liked this. Very talented, unique sound
