[buriedinmyyard]

What did that girl yell? 

[Jellybid]

which album is this froM?

[hqwad]

is this available on mp3 or itunes anywhere??

[boywunder343]

great song...i am not a fan of augusten burroughs...his books are really not that good at all

[wojo4hitz]

well, sounds like you're in the minority, but you're entitled to your opinion!

[mudvaynechick]

This song is so beautiful and I love what Augusten says in the previous video about the effect the song had on him.

[Speak64]

3:23 Gah, beautiful.

[ataoldotcom]

i know i cant be the only one who thinks this. BUT...this is very much a Sara song. just the way the melody progesses and the structure of the song. it has Sara's folky feel. but im sure it could be bc it is acoustic

[bornadisaster911]

this was a great performance once she got going.

at the beginning shes probably thinking "fuck fuck fuckkk i should have actually practiced!!" haha

[Speak64]

haha Why start now?

[bloodymaria78]

@bornadisaster911 you like it hum, hahah all the time. just wait...

[Natalie5709]

Was that her personal guitar? I've never seen it before.

[chefbranham]

it.s a small bodied gibson acoustic. her and sara use the same ones for acoustic songs and whatnot.

[Natalie5709]

Really? I thought it was an art & lutherie.

[Natalie5709]

Ya, it's an art & lutherie.

[motdepasse5]

It's an Art & Lutherie Ami.

[Natalie5709]

Ok, thank you. I wasn't sure if it was a folk or an ami.

[lynneho]

Does any one know if this will be released on any future albums?

[wojo4hitz]

no, it was on the audiobook for "a wolf at the table," and that will most likely be it.

[bloodymaria78]

@wojo4hitz what else

[wojo4hitz]

@bloodymaria78 umm what what else?

[enachick04]

MMMm LOVE love LOVE!!! <3

[laurageee]

the best ever!

[wojo4hitz]

;-D

[xyzkelsey]

did tegan write this song or did augusten write it?

silly question, i know but whatever

[wojo4hitz]

tegan wrote it... augusten asked her to read his book and then write a song for his audiobook. i have another video where tegan talks about writing the song... ;)

[xyzkelsey]

okay thanks! i love her songwriting, i wish i could write like her.

oh & i love your videos - btw :)

[wojo4hitz]

oh, thanks! :)

[DannyLovah]

i was just reading an interview that billboard did with tegan and she said it was actually a letter she sent him and then turned it into a song! she says he cried when he read it!

[chefbranham]

what is the book "A Wolf At The Table" about.?

Cuz I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this song and Tegan is my favorite.[sorry Sara Lovers.] but what.s the book about & is it worth reading.?

[wojo4hitz]

it's very good, but it's very dark... it's about augusten's father, and the impact he had on augusten's very early childhood. his dad was a sociopath... he was one person in public, and another, very sinister, person in public. as you can imagine, that's the kind of thing that scars a person for life...

[megbasketball09]

@chefbranham its worth ireading a thousand times over!

[ralin42]

Amazing

I love your Tegan and Sara videos.

[wojo4hitz]

thank you!  :)

[avrilrocks007]

WoW i love tegan!

[projoX]

she sounds absolutely unbelievable!

thanks for putting this up! you have the best t and s videos :D

[looneydai]

isn't she beautiful

[wojo4hitz]

aww, thank you! you're welcome!

[bornadisaster911]

so i finally stopped being lazy and i bought A Wolf At The Talbe.

im almost done..only like 50 more pages.

ive been reading it for two days and im completely consumed in it.

but anyways, my point is, this song is sooo more emotional and meaningful now that i read the book.

and once i come up with some extra money, i am going out and buying the rest of his books!! he is amazing.

[electricbixxh]

he is amazing...may i suggest Magical Thinking...great short stories

[bornadisaster911]

haha yea i just finished Running with Scissors and i literally just got back from the book store and i got Magical Thinking and Possible Side Effects.

i was torn between which one to read first, but because of your suggestion, ill start Magical Thinking first.

thanks!! =) haha

[jjaaddee112233]

This is AMAZING!

And when you watch it in high quality in full screen it feels like you're there!

I love tegan!

[wojo4hitz]

lol... you;re welcome!

[HappieEmoKid]

tegan's voice is amazing and so is she =]

and i love it whenever they mess up lol

[wojo4hitz2]

LOL.... me too. i've actually started a playlist of videos of them messing up. hee...

[winkedinkie]

Ahhhhh, that was worth the wait. :)

How in the heck do you keep the camera so steady? I have to use both hands and use my breasts as a rest.

And is it just me or is youtube not allowing the videos to be viewed in high quality format any longer? I haven't been able to have that option recently and it's bumming me out.

[wojo4hitz]

lol... i had my right foot up on the chair, and i was holding the camera in my right hand and bracing it against my knee (seriously uncomfortable position, really, i started shaking after a bit and was also jammed into marchingstars... she totally loved me for it, of course. ;)

and yeah, i was wondering what happened to the high quality option? i recorded it in high quality, dammit, AND it took me hours to upload it BECAUSE it's high quality... you ought to be able to watch it that way!!!

[winkedinkie]

Hahhaha. What we have to go through to fulfill our personal needs eh?

My camera has 1080 resolution yet, it still needs the option to view in better quality or else it's just not the same.

Your video needs the high quality option still. Still awesome nonetheless.

[wojo4hitz]

p.s. i also have no boobs to use as a rest, so lucky you. ;)

[winkedinkie]

I don't either but I have to use what little ones I have.

[wojo4hitz]

oh, and found this in the FAQ: In a nutshell, the blue text to manually switch between playback quality is no longer visible with Internet Explorer. It is still visible with Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc. Videos will play in HQ (as long as they were HQ before) if you have your "video playback quality" option in your "my account" settings set to either "Always high quality" or "dynamic." I don't know for sure if this was intentional or a bug. Being that it

only effects IE...probably a bug.

[winkedinkie]

OMG!!!!! Thank you for that! I just changed my setting. I hated having to manually switch each video I watched.

Geez, this looks so much better now.

Thank you! X)

[wojo4hitz]

welcome!! i still can't figure out why *mine* don't look better, since i've changed my setting to always high quality... blah! computers hate me.

[winkedinkie]

Computers hate you...but I still love youuuu. :)

[wojo4hitz]

lol... thanks! i need the support at this moment. still working on video #4. soon!!!
