  • You should try out for American Idol- wait no, you're too good for that reality TV trash!!!!!

  • you are cute :)

  • bravo darling. easily the best cover of a Decemberists song, thank you for an enjoyable 2 1/2 minutes. and your super cute too!!

  • @Bouyeah be gay

  • well done

  • fantastic version of this song

  • Youve got a beast within, waiting to breathe. Open those pipes girl ;]

  • @rumoroo agreed. this is a fun song. if it was Sleepless by The Decemberists, it would be more apporpriate to be timid. but no need for that in this song. you have a wonderful voice. PROJECT MORE. i bet you can belt out something amazing.

  • wow. very well done!

  • amazing!!

  • you have a beautiful voice

  • Well done. I enjoyed the minor changes in the lyrics you made.

  • i never usually comment on videos but KryKslr you are a idiot!!....that was a really good song covered brilliantly!

  • Fantastic, 5*. I had to learn this song after hearing you do it. good job

  • great song, great singing, I believe you........

  • KryKslr = Jealous.

    Very pretty cover.

  • your voice is beautiful, but pay attention to the strumming pattern of the original song, specifically the bit with Am and Em.

  • "Dirty son"? You should have kept the lyrics "dirty daughter". It sounds better with two syllables. And it would make more sense when you say "my sweet untouched Miranda". I hate it when someone of the opposite sex of the person who wrote the song changes the lyrics from "her" to "him", or "girl" to "boy" when covering the song. Other than that minor flaw, this is a good cover.

  • And she didnt change the lyrics to here, there, and everywhere.

    I guess I wouldnt change the beatles either, but still

  • @Jonmad17

    I agree, though at least she was consistent. I was watching a cover of Fiona Apple's Paper bag and the guy covering it was changing the lyrics all over the place. At one point, he sang "I thought she was a man but she was just a little girl."

    What?

  • @Jonmad17 Yeah, to say nothing of the lost alliteration. It's easy to sympathise with the agency problem though, if you're adopting the storyteller's perspective, a gender switch isn't natural for everyone.

    It's a very enjoyable cover, anyway.

  • you have a lovely voice:)

  • Bravissima!!!!!!

  • good cover, try slowing down abit next time thought :)

  • I've listened to this video about once a week for about 2 years..love the cover!

  • i lOVE yOUR vOICE bEAUTIFUL sONG! i lOVE yOUR pOSTERS aS wELL!!!

  • Would be great if you knew the song before you recorded it, otherwise it's just a pretty girl reading. Nice but unremarkable

  • Pretty good.

  • What really confuses me is there are so many videos like this. People who can sing and play well, but none of them memorize the song. They're always reading lyrics and/or music from the screen in front of them. Maybe it's just me, but I just find that distracting, no matter how good the person is. Why cover a song you don't genuinely know and love?

  • Hey there! Gread Voice gives it a litte church style haha :D

    No, its good - guitar is ok to sing along, but! Would be great to hear the song with the right strumming and chords :))

    bye

  • Not bad. I like Colin Meloy but I always thought many of the Decembrist's songs would sound better w/ a female vocal.

  • aaw, I was just learning this, and now I dont think I can ever do it as much justice as you have. beautiful.

  • i love your voice :)

    and the song, you know, that too.

  • IMO, better than the original.

  • this beautiful song i always will remember as sung with your voice. nothing else is possible.

  • Great song, beautiful voice and cute girl. :)

  • I love the minor key!!! Great job!

  • this is my favorite cover of yours, everrr.

    <3

  • you have a very beautiful voice. keep it up :)

  • You changed daughter to son but it sounds wonderful! keep it up!!

  • I am madly, deeply, passionately in love with you. If I held you close, would you sing this to me every night? X-D

  • HOLY CREEPER!!

  • You couldn't understand.

  • What do you mean i wouldn't understand??

  • Pink Floyd, the who, youre great!^^

  • You do this perfectly. I am subscribing. Absolutely stunning.

  • woww, i like your version better than the orginal.

    amazing voice.

    and i could be wrong, but is that a beatles poster in the back? :D

  • I wish I had 1/10th the vocal talent that you have.

  • amazing, what can I say?

    you should totally try some Bob Dylan covers

  • wow...you sound just like the female voice in the track "Mariner's Revenge" which is a huge compliment :)

  • no...she's better :)

  • You have a *Beautifull* voice and i LOVE this song :)

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX :)

  • Great :)

  • The space beetwen

  • loveeee it. good taste in music and youve got musical talent, keep it up

  • pls don´t stop !!! continue making it, beautiful voice, congratulation, from chile greeting 4 you...o como se escriba saludos...

  • good job but slow it down a bit your rushing it

  • this is really great

    good job :)

  • Easier on the eyes than Colin Meloy! ;)

  • An Angel's voice :) You sound perfectly :) I've listened your cover for about 10 times and not gonna stop. Beautiful.

  • That was great

    Please never sell out

    that would be a travesty

  • This is much better than the original version.

  • Blasphemy! I'll admit she's good, but I'm far to smitten with the Decemberists to ever think anyone better.

  • I thought the original sounded too much like "Losing My Religion".

  • 2 guys boood you on this but i for one know exactly what you mean. but i still like it better. she's good though. kinda reminds me of my sister n shit. like creeeeeeeepy reminds me.

  • aww i really liked it!!! u have a really nice soft voice!

  • i just got that this is a suicide love song

  • Great! :)

  • once again i loovve the way u do this song. you no wat would be really awesome?.. if you did a cover for road by nick drake. its my fav and i think it would go really well wit your voice. :] if you dside your gonna do it comment me bck so i can check it out. thnx <3

  • That's a good suggestion, actually. Would love to hear you cover Nick Drake!

  • Wow !

  • Bravoooo!!

  • That was really great. I prefer your version to the song, it made it seem more sad, but in a good way! :)

  • lovely voice, you need a better guitar!!

  • You have an amazing voice. Wow... That's all I've got to say. Great job on the song!

  • Hi Princess, I love the vocal`s ,and the voice, I am but a humble UK (IRISH) Tattoo artist, but I think you have a gorgous voice. I am sorry to say I don`t live in LONDON any more as I used to have contacts in Sony/R.C.A and I am staying away from london for the sake of my sanity! But I assure you you have a lovely voice and should you decide to sign ,please make sure your Artist & Repertoire agent is top spec! Good luck Girl!

  • u need a RECORD DEAL OR AN AGENT ER SUMTHING!! I wonder if Colin Meloy looks at youtube vids of ppl covering their songs

  • How I love this song.. and I really prefer you version to every other. Dunno how often I already listened to this song.. it's just awesome. Thank you for sharing it!

  • woow,, that was amazing. this is pbly one of my favorite songs now (evn tho i my dad just showed it to me like this afternoon) and btw i like your cover WAAY better than the original.. your voice has a great tone. unfortunatly guitar is one of the only instuments i don't play and i'd REALLY like ta get my own version out there.. if you happen ta no of ware i could get the karaoke version on the net that wood b tly awsomenestic. plz comment back!..

  • Hey, I actually don't know where you could find the karaoke version, but if you got the chords off the net I bet you could play it on piano or whatever instrument suits you. Or this could be your first attempt at guitar! :) good luck!

  • thanks for actually commenting bck,, i wasn't sure if you wood but thanks for the advice... i think i might go ahead and try ta teach myself guitar. (i already take 2many music lessons : piano, violen, and i just started voice yesterday) I think guitar wood b funnical. :) and btw.. WEN you make it big {i no you will} just remember that I was your biggest fan back wen you we're just a youtube star!! :) ~ Abigail (13)

  • haha,, so i finally created my own video of dis.. on piano... [8 months l8a]

    it was worth it..

  • We know ...and were sad you did it & shes actually good unlike someone

  • love ur voice, and how u turned the lyrics around... great job!

  • I love the decemberists--great choice and beautiful cover. Like how you reversed the lyrics a little.

    Don't suppose you write your own songs, too? That't be awesome!

  • spectacular! great voice!

    from argentina! congratulations!

    teo

  • It was a bit rushed but besides that it was well done.

  • Yeah, I'm in love with your voice. Great job.

  • OMG, your voice is so beauiful...reall sweet and unique...amazing cover, keep it up!

  • Very well done, a very smooth performance. It gave me a different perspective on the song.

  • gr8 singing.

  • Of all the covers of this song I have heard on youtube your voice is by far the most beautiful!

  • nicely done

  • You have a beutiful voice! Try using a pick, I think it would sound better ;)

  • you play it way to fast, other then that you got potential. but this song cant be made bether then the original ;) not a bad try tho

  • wow... just wow... pretty sound, good playing... love it...

  • This is without a doubt the best cover of this song in youtube. I LOVE it.

  • wow... awesome :)

  • I click on people's cover versions of the song I'm looking for sometimes, and they are always terrible. I watched your video of "we both go down together" though and it was amazing. Do you perform outside of your computer room? It would really be a waste of talent if you didn't.

  • I really like it, Your voice is beautiful

  • Wow..you're THE Girl =) Keep it up, you're far better than many stupid chicks quackin' in tv!

  • I love it ! ! ! !

  • Amazing!

  • is that what i think i see in the background?!

    pink floyd

    the who

    THE BEATLES

    :D

    CHYEAH, LET'S BE FRIENDS!

  • Yeah that poster is from hot topic most likely. Good cover tho.

  • i love you

  • man thts a beautiful song. i loved it.

    mike

  • Beautiful voice!

  • wow your really good i almost like it better than the decemberists version nice cover

  • That's just so very very very good! Brilliant melody and voice. Prefer it by far, can't really stand the original song.

    That's just so awesome.. I love it.

  • Brilliant.

  • great voice!

    you should be proud of yourself :D

  • You're amazing. I really love your voice! Thanks for posting this!

  • yeah im not big on that real version but i really like yours its more mellow you can really get into the words more

  • very nice indeed. 5* and fav =)

  • you can sing really beautiful!!!

  • i have to say that i hate it when people rate someone creating something my view is its to be experianced not judged it is what it is no need for change or aulteration to suit a certin taste i have to say i enjoyed the experiance of viewing and would not ask for a thing to be changed i hope you enjoy make music as much as i enjoy experiancing it

  • your voice is amazingly beautiful. I really like the way you sing "oh, my love, my love"--for some reason it makes it sound like a traditional folk song.

  • im about to not watch any of your videos ever again...because once i watch them..i fall in love with your version of the song..and your voice...and i can never listen to the original song the same way again! lol....seriously...you have an amazing talent..dont let your gift go to waste! :)

  • You have a beautiful voice and what seems to be a great and very natural vocal technique, and it is evident that your voice is your primary instrument. Try not to let you playing the guitar rush you through the song - see if you can focus your energy on loud rather than fast - a pick can help here. Otherwise, great job, and beautiful voice! 3/5

  • great cover!

  • Loved it! Great job.

  • Awesome........... 5tars!

  • Just wanted to say you have a truly gorgeous voice, and excellent taste in music! I especially love your covers of "The Engine Driver" and Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow is a Long Time." Keep it up!

  • dammit.

    i just fell in love.

  • amazing!!! love your cover

  • beautiful, very well done

  • WHO ARE YOU?? After Dylan's "Tomorrow is a long time" (which I must have listened to at least ten thousand times) THIS! You are absolutely amazing! Beautiful! Wonderful! Gosh!

  • Rogue, every time I start listening to each of your songs I can't stop until it's finished, thank you very much!

  • you amaze me over and over again ( I cant see over your sucksess) i love your voice everything abaoute you im your new fan

  • sucksess? is that a pun? grow up

  • Vdub, I think it's a Dylan reference from Subterranean.

    I hope. Ha.

  • Damn. Nice.

  • you are delightful, i love your voice ^__^

  • Chorus vocals sound so nice..

  • I never buy music, but if you recorded an album, i would definitely pay money for this song! you are amazing!

  • you have a great voice!

  • wow besides the obvious accolades to your beauty, and the beauty of your voice and the song, I really enjoyed the way thqat you made it personal, by changing the pronouns in the second verse. Needless to say thanks you for posting this.

  • ı say again and again.....

    you are wooondeerfuuul...

  • Oh thats one nice voice, I would love to hear that voice with the full band backing

  • you are soooooooo good!!!!!

  • Awesome.

    Sin City + Beatles + Decemberists

    damn

  • This is really good. It sounds nice, and i'm liking how you switched it to a girl's point of view.

    I also liked how you sang it in your own voice... (haha whenever i sing those songs (in the shower to the annoyance of my sister) i tend to copy his way of singing it.)

  • hahaha nice job fitting the parenthesis inside the parenthesis.

  • We both go down together.. already such a wonderful song, added with a beautiful voice ... speechless. Consider recording your own indie record. I'm interested to see where you could take it to.

  • Wonderful song ! And very beautiful voice.

    5 ***** from me with no doubts...

  • You have a beautiful voice, very talented!

  • nice voice!

  • That was really great. Thanks so much for posting this!

  • OMG. you are the perfect girl for one of my guyfriends?! haah. i think you have a sin city t-shirt on. and you have a beatles poster on your wall. hell i'll even marry you. and i'm a girl. dude you're AWESOME. and your voice is pretty. it sure kicks my voices ass.

  • Great cover. Just out of curiosity: why did you chose to change the gender pronouns in the third verse? It changes the song in interesting ways, and takes some of the darker subtext out of it. What was your thinking?

  • Well...I was mostly interested in the changes it lent to the song. I don't think it took away too much of the dark context (wouldn't want that, would we?) but I just thought that a girl singing it added an interesting twist. And, of course, I, too, am a girl, so that helped with the decision. :)

  • I guess it's pretty hard to lighten up a song about double suicide, eh? :)

    That one line "You wept but your soul was willing" always gives me a chill, because it's the sort of thing that a guy might say to himself if he was, er, coercing a woman in a disadvantaged position. But if the woman is the one with wealth and beauty, and she sings "I wept but my soul was willing", it's less menacing, more clearly a mutual love.

    Thanks so much for sharing your singing and playing - very inspiring!

  • Beautiful!

  • you are amazing...thank you for that heared this sound

  • how old are you?

  • you are such a beautiful girl with an amazingly beautiful voice. please slow down...

  • awesome awesome awesome awesome.

    you don't even need a voice-auto-tuner-thingee

    you'd kick american idol's ass...

    ur voice kicks mine haha.

    totally make the money while you can.

  • Really nice. That song is great and you do an amazing cover

    The poster of Pink Floyd is a good clue =)

    Brgds

    Daniel

  • you have the best in music... ever. nico, smiths, decemberists, and you do them amazing.

  • a pretty thing singing The Decemberists...what more can you ask for really?

  • Glad to see there's finally a girl who sings this song and realizes it isn't a love song.

  • DUH!!!!!! who thinks its a love song??

  • beautiful! and I don't just mean you, Shuber.

    I'm impressed.

  • Absolutely amazing.  Your are truly breathtaking.

  • I love this song! It's my favorite of theirs along with Yankee Bayonet.

    You are too pretty. Do you have a website or anything or is this just a hobby?

  • Nope, it's pretty much just a hobby. Glad you enjoy the music :) The decemberists pretty much rock my socks--i think my sister and i are going to post yankee bayonet up soon, that's one of my favorites as well.

  • This is just AWESOME. great song, great performance.

  • You have a fan.

  • will you marry me?
