Bruce Cover- I'm on Fire

[whovianfloovian]

I absolutely love you musically, your "Oh Death" is one of the most powerful things I've heard... but this song gives me the creeps. Always has done. Anyone else notice how horrible the lyrics are? I'm amazed that Bruce Springsteen got away with this.

[kingle]

Still one of my favorite covers you've ever put up on here. Even if I've never listened to much (or any) Bruce Springsteen

[meckiweiss]

best cover ever!!! i love it!

[alxkss]

Joooooooooder, E S P E C T A C U L A R !!!!! Thank you gracias

[sevenender]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah i love it

[eloyart]

Talent...you have it. Well done....

(ps..dude hitting things is cute)

[TCFrankfurt]

 Awsome .

I like this Song .

[DominickValenti]

like the music, and the rant at the end is epic! going now to check out more of your stuff and to see if you are going to play anywhere around Michigan/Chicago area.

[Darkina85]

Really good job! :)

[MrMonkknight]

mmmmmmhmmmmhhm hey beautiful your exciting... ps not the best video you have done, ps tell the snag to leave you alone so you can put out a clean cut. great voice did you enjoy london?

[Quixotic1018]

Worthy of the boss, himself. Love your covers

[dovermoreno]

I've watched this video before but I never realized how funny those cut-away clips of you at the end were. There you are, talking nice and calm then BAM ! ...cut to a darker Lauren deadpanning forcefully "AWESOME !" "LIES, I HAVE TWO !"

It reminded me of a comical Gestapo interrogation of a French underground operative. I half expected the next cut-away to be of you with an eyepatch and a scar on your cheek yelling, "LIES ! SIGN ZEE PAPERS OR VEE VILL KILL ZEE GIRL TONIGHT !"

[LaurenOC12]

@dovermoreno One day I'll release the Eyepatch Gestapo Director's Cut.

[higinovsc]

very god

[shukishadymon135]

your music moves me. =)

[stepowers]

Everything That you do is pretty sweet.. thanks

[coringajoey]

what program you use to edit video friend ...

thanks... sorry to bother.

[heneymusic]

checkout my version on my page! :)

[bigdjindustriez]

Very nice job. Nice Gretsch too.

[RolandBoyden]

Hey. I never believe in posting on a video just to say "nice job" or something but I thought I'd go ahead and say I think this is the best cover of this song I've scene. Just the right amount of production work.

[fantasmagorico76]

Well this version is so briliant....great job. Heat off.

[bribric5]

Awsome!!!!! Just Awsome.

[BeneDCar]

Love It! :)

[huora5000]

terrible

[woodsterix]

ah i thought this was going to be kasabian... lauren you should soo do kasbians fire.

[rogerdabadge82]

great cover, but "levers and gears" is still my fav.

[vulpix66]

Because Levers and Gears is an original, and her originals are always awesome.

[onesmallgiant]

this is such a great cover. fantastic job! you're amazing XD

[Dedeurklink]

I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow and i'm fucking scared but i will sing this song till i go into that specific room/

OOOOOOOOH YES I'M ON FIRE DENTISTS GUYS

[Dedeurklink]

@Dedeurklink haha man i really did that. anyways lauren you are awesome. very nice cover

[tobiezguba]

beautifully arranged! nice one!

[luisricardofc]

You are very good!

[imlaycitybob]

Very cool... 5*****... i'm subscribing.

[Pwny912]

Brilliant.

[Superstarpaulrogers]

Great job here. The harmonica is a perfect touch. Thank you

[askhermusic]

great job

[yuppy64]

I know I said something on this a while ago and I'm probably just reiterating, I'm going to say it (again) anyway.

This is brilliant, reminds me heavily of my favourite musician M. Ward and sounds a lot like his music at stages, which makes me jealous and sounds great, I'd say he's just a bit more nimble on the guitar and aside from that there's not many ways to tell you two apart.

[SHAKEDOWN72]

Loved it....very clever. x

[entangledgiraffes]

This is really awesome!

You know who also does great covers?

The Entangled Giraffes!

Just kidding, you're great!

(no, seriously. check out our videos.)

But no, you're super!

[OMGRUNITSYOU]

great can i know the chords?

[Nostalgiahatesme]

How do I get an mp3 of this?

[LaurenOC12]

I really don't have mp3s of covers. I don't really understand copyright law, but I'm sort of afraid of it.

[Allikatanne]

would you care much if I ripped this, and converted it to mp3 for my own use? :]

[LaurenOC12]

If you know how, I say go to town.

[Superstarpaulrogers]

Right on dear, love the harmonica, I am a huge Bob Dylan fan and just really like what you did here.

[Syllerd5]

@LaurenOC12

It's not that hard, there are a lot of programs on the internet you can download to do that.

btw; nice!

[invisiblefiend]

How do yu do that

[beerzippy]

Well I have watched all the covers of this clssic song... and as a limy.. I like yours the most....

when you come to England.. I hope you come to Manchester, cos we Rock.. and we will love you..baby..

[REDFTW]

Great video! Sorry your UK trip did not work out :-(

Would have been great to see you live.

[skip8619]

Does anyone know the chords/strumming pattern for this song, I've seen a couple versions but none of them made sense to me. Thanks

[elvisjimpa100]

Yeah

[kustudio]

fantastic

[bored2hell]

[LittleQueen7]

First off, you guys are cute.

Second, my ears are on fire.

Wait now. That doesn't sound like how I meant to express.. the self. That is me. What?

Whatever. I mean I loved it.

Cheers, keep doing what you're doing. It's working for ya -- noooog time. That was supposed to say big time but I thought it sounded way cool so I left it. Haha.. ooh kay.. aand super long erratic comment for the win.

[classicryan]

[robynjames2007]

[coldnnor402]

Lauren, I too got your CD today in the mail. Your not kidding one bit, YOU are on Fire, This is one of the most fantastic first CD's every heard. my face is sore from smiling all day, hope you are having a great time. Again, thank you so much, time now for me to find my socks, ya, you blew them off too, lol.... damn I love your music, don't ever stop.

[BrainSlugh]

Just got the CD - it's excellent! My favorite new song is Bystander...great job!

[TheFloaty]

Amazing

[Wallwart]

Nice job!

[sweetnspicy17]

just curious what kind of guitar do you play

[LaurenOC12]

That is a Gretsch Rancher. So, a big-ass acoustic-electric.

[gbrooks2]

Aah! Love Gretsch guitars. Pretty sure my other electrics have just gathered dust since I bough my White Falcon.

[tinasflossing]

WOW!

I just got your CD in the mail.

Excellent work.

You have a great talent.

1988 is fantastic.

[milliradian]

I have three excuses for not ordering yet. But I'm gonna do it right now!

[kalkid1]

lol love the end bits where you talk a bit and prove that you just a normal person and not some doped up loser like another artist i know not saying names chris get off the pot your not my friend when your on it

[missmuhlis]

I adore this cover. I prefer it over the orignal.[:

[ZacharyMJ]

I think you definitely wanna stay in London a bit longer than the end of April so I can come see you. Please. Pleeeease.

[C0LDF1RE]

Brilliant!

[MichelleRocksOut]

That was great! You make me want to learn how to play the harmonica!!! I think I will!!!

[HelloKittyPwns17]

you make my soul smile.

..and my face. it smiles too.

[RupertsCrystals]

Nice work, Lauren. Good job with the overdubbing.

Now you've reminded me of something I was going to purchase...

[panthermartin]

really nice.

[BrainSlugh]

On another note, you should really do a cover of Field Below by Regina Spektor.

[pgl0897]

Lauren... if you have London dates up and coming, please, please, please do a seperate video to let us know dates and remind us nearer the time. Don't do what a certain other youtube musician did, and assume we're motivated enough to check her website/video info bars on a regular basis. Don't want to miss out on seeing you!

Many Thanks!!

[LaurenOC12]

Mm. Good call.

[rodaroux]

wow the song is A_W_E_S_O_M_E!!!

one i want to say...is..sometimes i feel your way of speaking..is similar to Julia's :D

am i wrong??;))

XXX

[LaurenOC12]

You are not the first to say so. Ehhh we spend a lot of time together.

[BrainSlugh]

Great cover!

I want my CD...:(

[LaurenOC12]

GETTING SHIPPED TOMORROW I SWEAR

[BrainSlugh]

Good...I was getting worried you were some kind of con artist.

[gwydion75]

Lovin this. Lovin it. Great job :)

[gbrooks2]

I'm not a Springsteen fan, but damn... great cover.

[Kiioko]

Favorited! Because the cover was AMAZING and your editing skills are amusingly awesome. ^^

[Guitarhero75]

[Kara024]

Lauren! love the new video. love the album also :)

[battycrease1992]

Never do it again....never, please leave it to a male Bruce Springsteen.

[spacephace]

never in the history of youtube has "too much plaid" been a more appropriate tag.

sounded good, dude.

[fooooooga]

Awesome. You tend to cover songs I don't know yet but love after hearing you play them. This was one song I already loved though, and I think you did it beautifully.

[44GlenCoco]

Flowingly beautiful!

[brookpluse]

i've missed hearing your voice

[kittyandpoodle]

Well done. Love Bruce, and you covered him quite well!

[DannyCav1]

Nicely done

[GideonXer]

[colourfulbuttons]

i love springy.

[youngwithoutyouth]

I vote that Mr. Jeff 'ere is rather, kinda hot. :)

*ahem* in other news,

bring on April!

[funkwurm]

I like your sound Lauren, I really do.

And yay for better sound quality than some of your other videos :)

[HeksjeA]

I LOVE Bruce's music and this is a really great version of the song! Actually you made it into a totally different song, but in a good way.

Oh, if you're into covers.. could you do "Nanana" by The Kelly Family (European band, dont think you know them)? I love that song...

[wizzer570]

is that a jumbo gretsch it looks like mine btw nice video

[jessiemoi]

Lovelyy! London!! Eeeee I really want to seee youu! Yayyy!

[LissieLuu]

Ugh! I hate you! Not really. I actually really love you. Which is why I hate you. Not really. I just hate the fact that you will be in london the second half of April, because I will not be in London until the second half of may. Stay a month please? ;)

In other news, you are amazing.

[LaurenOC12]

Hmm. Come a month early? April and May are pretty similar. You probably won't know the difference.

[LissieLuu]

I wish. But I think that your other fans in London would agree with me. haha. There. I believe I win. Check and mate.

[lukeseed]

very well done. thanks for all the wonderful videos

[jazztrio2008]

[ilovemyipodnanoyesh]

hmmm, this is quite fantastic.

[JEEEZ123]

[8Tails]

This. Except with with "extremely" rather than "pretty".

[micahs3g]

Lauren... this is damn amazing love.

[kayisforkaren]

so wonderful

:D

[luckystrike1]

Love it, thanks.

[lordkodath]

breathtaking..thank you. :)

[malarian]

Nice cover of a great song. Thank you.

Greetings from Berlin / Germany

[yuppy64]

:D

Very nice, I think this is the first thing I've seen from you since I started watching, because I don't remember subscribing, but great work, I particulalrly liked the the reverb sounding harmony on "I'm on fire" and the the harmonica in the bridge type thing.

Do you play harmonica? I don't but I have seven of them, I asked be because it sounded really simple what you did, which fitted (fat, past tense of fit) really well where it was, reminded me of M. Ward, which means I loved this.

[xxitsmyfault]

fit is both past and present tense.

not trying to be a smart ass. :) just seemed like you would probably be interested in knowing.

[yuppy64]

:D

I'm not sure I ever realised that, I just like using 'fat' where I shouldn't.

It wouldn't fit!

[LaurenOC12]

a) Thanks!

b) I guess I sort of play harmonica. If you have a diatonic harmonica (which is most harmonicas I think), there are virtually no wrong notes within a given key, as long as you sort of have a feel for it. So it's easy to pretend you know what you're doing.

(I don't.)

[yuppy64]

Very nice reply :D You addressed me very well.

I like how well this turned out despite you stumming and singing very quietly, sound quality is great with the new mic, how'd you come to possess that? And what model is it?

I'm a super ametuer music producer so I know a little about the printing and stuff of many discs, so hope that's turned/turns out really well.

Lastly, the little guitar solo thing is nice, but I think is a little uncomfortable on top of the soft backing, just a little.

[yuppy64]

Hah, sorry, ran out of characters but felt I needed to clarafy a little better, with the guitar solo, I thought that could have been more effective on top of a stronger backing for that bit, which would add a bit of contrast, but perhaps ruin the flow the whole thing, which is nice.

You should do stuff with harmonica more, if you want, you'd suit it and you'd get better.

I liked your editing on the info at the end, good shot.

[LaurenOC12]

a) Thanks, I pride myself.

b) Samson CO3U USB mic. Works well, easy to use, bought it online with my own cash + donations from generous subscribers.

c) The guitar bits turned out a little louder and more prominent than I intended. Probably should have gone back and fixed it. But, you know, I didn't. What I'm saying is, you're right.

d) I'm trying to get better at harmonica without actually learning concrete things. I should probably try a little harder.

e) Thanks.

[yuppy64]

Well I really enjoyed it, much more that the Tori Amos version :D

And lastly, (on this video, I'm going to keep pestering you until you ask me to stop and prove that you're serious) thanks for you correspondence! I'm sending you some extra luck and sincerely hope everything works out super!

Or brilliantly, super doens't really hold much water, or praise or whatever it is I'm trying to convey.

<3

[coldnnor402]
