"Painfully Obvious" (Original)

[EricRmd]

you're fucking awesome



[maxxruby]

how do you play this on gittttar?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

[devilishlypure]

@maxxruby With the chords posted in the video description... they're the same as on the uke!

[tomris9and3quarters]

i was just listening to this song with my 6 year old brother

he likes it so much that he stole my ipod,

thanks lauren :/

[distractabledreamer]

What tuning did you use for this?

[devilishlypure]

@distractabledreamer GCEA

[cmarie159]

@distractabledreamer you could always use a capo to raise it up a few steps. (;

[ahoypeyton]

This was fantastic live(: You're amazing.

[puddinginthemorning]

I want to sing this song for my Variety Show at my school, but I only have the version with you singing on my iPod and I need an instruemental version :( Poo.

[LlyriaKins]

I watched you play this live in Dallas last Sunday... It was awesome.

[EmergencyProgramOne]

Yay this song came out on my birthday! Best birthday gift ever!

[100kokokute]

Guys who like Harry Potter are awesome. Guys who like Harry Potter AND can admit it around all their guy friends are perfect.

[kaytayyy]

so... you got this kiss, right? :D

[XxMrsCoreyFeldmanxX]

I saw you in Chicago. :D I love this song so much...It's true, guys who like Harry Potter couldn't get any hotter!

[MrsJasperHale08]

This song really makes me happy especially today because I met a boy who likes Harry Potter and weird enough also likes me o.O that rarely happens actually this is the FIRST time that has happened. Bad news: we live about 17-18 hours away from each other and that distance probably won't be getting closer anytime soon...guess we will just have to stay up all night on skype together ^_^

[CatIsADinosaur]

I love this song. You're an amazing singer.

And guys who like Harry Potter are defenitly the hottest around.

[TaggiInTrouble]

i love harry potter and i love you

[DeirdreMcAleese]

I love this song! It's great! I'm your fan from abroad, lol. I enjoy listening to your songs.

[dvdtrainingvideo]

If you sell a CD / DVD, Kunaki is great for packaging and duplication.

Here's a tip to get more from Kunaki.

I always have Kunaki ship direct to me. That way I can include bonus CD or DVD content in with every order I sent to a customer. I always send a couple bonus items that are related in some way to the original item purchased. I have lots of upsells on CD and DVD which makes this super easy. It's also extremely powerful and effective. People love getting more than they ordered!

[jconradi2345]

i looove this song!

[myxgiftxisxmyxsong]

Lauren Fairweather, you are so dang cute!! =D

[mvapj]

I really like this song. :) and I feel the same way about liking guys who like Harry Potter xP :) Awesome ukelele playing :) :)

[charlottepoet]

loved it :)

[kira902k]

Ah, I'm trying to learn ukulele and although I can play the chords to this song, I just can't figure out the freaking strumming pattern! It's killing me.

I love this song though, and I'm dying to play it. Rawr!

[cubyegrl4]

if u go on tour, ny would love to have you!

[devilishlypure]

I know! I play in NY all the time.

[cubyegrl4]

really?! When?

[devilishlypure]

Every couple months or so for the last three or four years?

[penguin112493]

I was watching this again because I was trying to figure out if I like the sound of the tenor ukulele, and an ad for a What Is Your Patronus? quiz came up under you, and that just made me really happy :)

[paperxxhearts000]

Hahaha this song is so awesome and hilarious. xD

[motalinda]

OMG this is friggin genious hahahahah you crack me up girl!!! hahahahah

[codygx123]

wow awesome i subcribed 4 videos ago!!! your great!

[VickturMovies]

Lol. I like GIRLS who like Harry Potter.

[applebritta]

I've been watching your videos for a while and I didn't notice until now. Your hair is extremely lovely :) Are the Moaning Myrtles touring? I NEED wizard rock now. I haven't been to a wrock concert in over a year, and I've never seen you guys live.

[devilishlypure]

We can only tour over the summer because we're at school right now! Next year! :)

[applebritta]

Cool! I hope the Portland area isn't too far.

[ilovegrintt]

You should come to Vancouver or Seattle :D I love your music!

[hego19]

Come to Ireland for a tour its by far the best

[hermionecortez]

@applebritta There's a tour this summer, in case you haven't heard yet! =)

[mizoxyclean912]

So, I was having a beyond awful morning, sitting through my Geology Lecture, and at the end I was walking to the front of class to turn in my "pop quiz" (hence the bad day) and when I was walking out...I saw a pin on the floor. I bent over to pick it up and it was a "Prefects are Hot" Moaning Murtles pin....needless to say it made me smile and so happy to realize that someone else in my class/university likes your music! :) Thank you!

[spress15]

P.P.S. Forgot to say... I LOVE ukulele!

[spress15]

Fantastic! Great song, you've really got some inspiration flowing thru you. Keep on!

P.S. hope you're feeling better as time goes on.

[nbrisendine]

[aylark]

[devilishlypure]

Which video? I'm not really sure what's wrong...

[YOitsNat]

[siriusismyhero]

I love the vid Lauren! I like it even better than the original song.

[devilishlypure]

Better than the recording of it I did a few years ago, you mean? Aw, thanks. :)

[memoirsofagenevieve]

Your vocals have gotten amazing!

[candygranger101]

[flyfall8]

[TVC722]

[dgs72]

I'm a 4th grade teacher and I played this song for one of my students and a year later it's still her favorite song!

[acm4bass]

well done. the dementors kiss line was debateable, but you have amazing charisma.

[devilishlypure]

Yeah, I know the last note of that line was flat, but as I said in the video description: "I didn't really try to get it perfect because I thought it would be funnier this way." I'm glad you liked it though! :D Thanks for watching.

[ordinaryface]

This song was stuck in my head all night, it's amazing :-) I HAVE TO BUY YOUR CD!!! soon or im afraid i might die lol :-)

[hendandra]

I just would like to say, that you are freaking amazing. I lovbe all of your music and I think you;re so funny and just over all amazing. :) please just keep being awesome and DFTBA! Not that you ever would ^^

[alexjamesss]

I was in Elizabethtown all weekend.

I MISS YOU.

This song is amazing.

[devilishlypure]

Whaaat?! Why didn't I see you? I spent the past four days in my room watching Buffy by myself. :(

[alexjamesss]

Ahh! I was camping at Hershey Conewago, so like, right next to Elizabethtown. Same exit. I wanted to see what you were up to but I had no internet and no way of reaching you! Poo.

[devilishlypure]

Aww. I'm sending you my phone number and that will never happen again.

[SenorLeviathan]

Aah Lauren, I love this song! I listen to it all the time. You're so adorable. It makes the song even better! :D

[seeyourvoice]

LAUREN. I love this song!

[tralalalalaland]

this is amazing. :)

[air1cat]

this is brilliant (:

[kira902k]

I love this song so much. And its great on ukulele. and your acting. xD

Oh yeah! I still want to send something for your wall. I gotta do that...

[creativemachine]

I really enjoyed that, Lauren. It's always good to see the music you put up here. You've grown as a musician and it shows. Keep up the awesome work!

[littlephoenix1115]

the New Uke sounds amazing... Kala Lacewood Tenor?...

[devilishlypure]

Yep! I love it. I got it from musicguymic on ebay.

[littlephoenix1115]

brilliant...

i just ordered the solid acacia tenor at my store... i'm so excited

[canheat1]

Another excellent tune as usual, Lauren. Sounds even better with time. Keep it up :D

[mysterialite]

Haha, this is awesome. I totally agree, Potter nerds are the best to date. :-) I'm assuming that giving us chords is giving us permission to cover it?

I'll be sending you some wall art this week. What you have so far looks good!

[devilishlypure]

Haha, you guys always have permission to cover my stuff. Sometimes, the songs I write have weird chords that I don't know the names of, so I prefer not to write those out for you guys.

[XxDawlishxX]

we came to see you last august but we were really late and you were done by the time we got there. i showed all of the people who came this song after and they all love you now!! haha we're so stupid none of them got to see you....

this is so different! IDK if i like it. LOVE the song though<3 amazing

[CullenCrazy93]

This is defiently one of my favorites of yours...

I love all of you songs - solo and Myrtles

But this has gotta be one of the best :)

I love it

[clover13x]

lauren seriously your yet to make a song i don't love :) loving your music so much it's like the soundtrack to my life :)

oh and im trying to make you an idex card when i can think of something interesting :)

[DeeLamps]

I made an index card for your wall! I'm going to mail it on tuesday. Hopefully you'll like it.

(Ps. I love the song! And I love it even more on the uke!)

[CasualtiesofArt]

"Forget that first impression/just give me wizard rock!"

Hell yes. Lauren, we have almost the exact same style of hair. Yours is just a bit darker. I feel like we have a connection now.

[twinkletoes121]

This is an awesome song, Lauren!! Actually, it could totally pass for the story of my life...lol.

[InLikeALion3]

Amazing as usual, Lauren.

<3

[CoconuttyScent]

I love this song.

And I LOVE the last sentence, it gives me hope

[Cheeselena]

this was so cute. playing it on uke was adorable. your acting was hilarious. just overall a really good video! the end was cute :D thanks for not ftba

[reb1391]

love this song, and i agree guys who like harry potter are hot

[pinstripers16]

I like this song! Just out of curiosity, why did you do this video with the Uke instead of the guitar? You've been using the uke a lot lately and I miss your guitar. I also miss you. :)

[devilishlypure]

This song is really difficult for me to play on guitar, which is why I have never played it live. Yesterday, I figured out that it's much easier on ukulele and was able to play it for the video. :)

[lindseyreviews]

i think it's painfully obvious that this song is full of win.

[righteousemusic]

Learn how to play first before you think you the bomb!

[thewhompingwillows]

The bomb? Is this 1993?

[devilishlypure]

Yep. This guy's also upset that I wouldn't post his unrelated music videos in my video responses, so I'm expecting all kinds of fun hater comments from him. It might as well be 1993. He probably acted like this back then too.

[yoeddy1970]

If he keeps making hater comments he will probably have your 10,000 subscribers all over his channel giving all of his videos one star.

I looked at some of his videos. They don't relate at all to your style of music!

I mailed something for your wall on Friday.

Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend!

[LadyPhoeNix1984]

i could use a guy who likes Harry Potter :\

Love this song! :)

[craazydina]

hahah love the lyrics!

[hpfan124]

This is awesome!!

[righteousemusic]

Cool video

[VickturMovies]

You know, youtubers like you are just the definition of made of awesome.

[ashleysmashli]

this is my favourite of your songs.

[Minkusia]

This is one of my absolute favorites of your songs! :D

[lovelyvoices0]

Awesome!!!!!! :D

[tomtom164]

love the postcards in the back

[devilishlypure]

Aren't they awesome? I love my subscribers.

[nothingbutrain]

This is kind of awesome :)

[madeofawesome55]

love love love this song, i used to sing it in front of my friends and they thought i was crazy..lol good times.

[ChappStickMan]

Are you still accepting artwork for your background?

[devilishlypure]

Yep! The video says February 2010 and it is definitely still September 2009! XD

[ChappStickMan]

Haha, sorry, I just wasn't sure if to many people already sent one in. I'll definitly be sending one now! Thanks!

[devilishlypure]

Yeah, there is a freaking ton of wall space left! Not all of it's in the camera shot, but there is a lot. :)

[ChappStickMan]

Haha, great! Expect one for me very soon! :D

[iAmortentia]

aw, hope mine comes in all right. <3

i listen to this song too much if not 24/7 on my iPod.

[DoogieRace]

This is one of my favorite songs!

But I was understanding "I like ice, you like Harry Potter, to me they couldn't get any harder..." all the time... Fail ^^

[SchessyTv]

This my favorite song from you.

I sang along.

*comment on the index cards* :)

No I think they're really pretty, actually.

That was an awesome idea of yours Lauren.

[devilishlypure]

Aw, aren't they? I wrote a blog entry last night gushing about how happy I am that people are doing this for me.

[eragonlover1]

I love that so much!

You and Nina should come back to NC! That concert was awesome!

[98smithg]

lyrics could have easily come from a whiney emo kid, but we shall let it go lol

[devilishlypure]

Did you read the video description? In case you didn't, here. "This is one of my sillier songs, written to exaggerate a point." If you notice, I'm also acting ridiculous to emphasize the fact that the song is a little bit ridiculous. So thank you, I guess. That's exactly what I was going for.

[98smithg]

i see, some sort of ironic hypocosey, very good. Guarded critueqe is always more usfull than blind fanboism at least.

[eoin68]

cool song :)

[VicMorrowsGhost]

Awesome. This is one of my faves.

[wolfied16]

YAYYYY I sent a bunch of pictures and I see several up there! SOOOOO exciting!

[devilishlypure]

Your box of photographs are absolutely beautiful. I want to put up the rest, I'm just waiting for more index cards so I can spread them out. Thank you so much! :D

[wolfied16]

Of course, no problem! The next time you're near St. Louis you should let me get pictures of you!

[devilishlypure]

That would be freaking awesome! Where are you gonna be the weekend of November 6-9th? XD Cause I hope you're going to Wrockstock.

[MichelleTells]

This has always been my favourte song of yours. It's on the CD in my car and I play it for IRL friends to freak them out hehe

You wrock Dobby's socks off :)

[orin12345678]

Yay, this is one of my favorite songs by you! So glad you uploaded it!

[spannerxxxxx]

This is so cute and I love the expressions you pull & ukelele

[JustMargaret]

Oh, my God. I love you. You are so... phenomenal. This is one of my favorite of your songs! I adore it! And I like the new uke.

Also... BOSS Scarhead poster! Sorry, I know you don't like when people comment about what's on your wall instead of what you're saying/ doing.... but seriously. It's so BOSS.

[devilishlypure]

Haha, I actually don't mind if people comment on the Scarhead Poster. It's much more personal when it's an independent show done by friends of mine than it is for some mass-produced multimillion dollar movie. That's why I put it up.

I'm glad you like the song too! :D

[emmfan09]

Lauren :) yay I really like this song. During this video I imagined a scenario in which: I walk past a girl's room, and she has this song playing, and we instantly become at least friends. It's 2:46 a.m., and I just moved out of my parent's house into the dorms a couple weeks ago. I think everyone in my floor is partying somewhere, and I am sitting in my dorm room, reading Catching Fire and now watching YouTube videos. Maybe I should give Dorks in a Box another listen. I love your songs! :D

[MichelleTells]

If I was in college you bet I'd blast painfully obvious from my dorm room. Maybe that scenario happened in your head, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

;)

[emmfan09]

Can we be best friends?! You definitely just used my senior quote in response to my comment hahaha YouTube rocks.

[MichelleTells]

YES! Let's be besties. :) Youtube does indeed rock.

[devilishlypure]

I love when things like this happen in comment threads. You guys are awesome! :D

[wytherwings]

this is one of my favorite songs on the album =]

[LeishaNerdfighter]

This was great! It gave me flashbacks of Summer '08 listening to Devil's Snare every single day in the car and singing really loudly to it. Good times.

[sweetlovesong]

this is my favorite song on your album.

i love the uke sound on this version.

<3

[arapanasati]

This and Nerdfighterlike are my favorite non-myrtle songs of yours =]

[crimsong19]

Sweet job with the song, Lauren! And I'm glad to see that the wall is coming along nicely!

[theycallmeluz]

Your songs are always really clever.

[d0bbyr0cksmys0cks]

Gah! I love this song! But don't you already have it on your channel? Although another version can never hurt ;)

[d0bbyr0cksmys0cks]

So I just looked through your video archives to see if you had this song up already, but you don't. And know I'm questioning my sanity because I could have sworn I've heard you sing this before, like vlog live. Hmmmm... I guess I'm just crazy.

[devilishlypure]

Before today, I couldn't successfully play and sing it live. And then I figured out that it's easier on ukulele, which is why I made this video. Though, you're the second person to think that... so maybe there's a failed attempt or something that I'm forgetting about!

[d0bbyr0cksmys0cks]

OH! OH! OH! I know where I heard you sing this live before! On your very first blogTV show!

Okay, I'm done commenting on your video. Sorry. And aw at the end <3

[orin12345678]

I think this song was on your Myspace page at some point, wasn't it?

[BriannaSmiles]

Ahh this is so great. I just love it! Lol. You are beyond epicly awesome Lauren. Siriusly! :P

[lunylvgd]

yay chords. I just learned ukulele like a month ago =)

[reinix]

omg, this is kinda cute.

love it! x

[hayleyghoover]

Always one of my faves. Oh, and I giggled out loud when you sort of tilt-nodded your head at the camera, as if, "No, really-- I like guys who like Harry Potter. I mean it."

[swimmersgirl]

oooh i love this so much!! gosh lauren you're superr awesome :D

[swimmersgirl]

oh and ps: *favorites*

[misspixie0220]

I LOVE this song! It comes on my iPod all the time, and I never skip over it! I can relate to it a lot! I don't think I could ever get into a relationship with someone that doesn't like HP. I'm way too obsessed. I hope to see you in Cape May sometime next year!

-Sarah

[RandomNicholas]

I know all the words, but I can't really sing the chorus because I'm a heterosexual male. So I was just singing "I like --- who like Harry Potter. To me they couldn't get any hotter!..." Awesome song! Nice to hear you still singing some of your older music.

[chinareds54]

Why don't you just replace 'guys" with "girls"?

[LolaLuves]

I made a video of me making my index card for you and I'll send it in the mail soon and post the video up tomorrow :)

[7chobbers7]

im working on my index card so be expecting it soon lauren!

[pickles4muggles]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM DEVILS SNAREEE!! i'M SOOO SO SOS OS SOOSSO O SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSOOO HAPPY YOU POSTED IT! YAYYYY!

[pickles4muggles]

okayy and now I'M SUPER DUPER HAPPY THAT YOU PUT THE CHORDS UP! thank you thank you thank youuuuuuu

[devilishlypure]

Haha aw, your comment(s) made me smile. You're welcome!

[ThatFamousDorkyGirl]

hehehe i love it sweetheart! <3 Soo true n this song totally fits me haha...I am favoriting this video hehe

[wannabeinhogwarts]

Pretty new Uke!

I remember this song from when it was on your MySpace before you'd even named Devil's Snare. I've always loved it...partially because I feel the same way.

...and now its gonna be stuck in my head all night.

[ISnoggedHarry]

OMG I C MY INDEX CARD.

jk I didn't even send one. Look at me referencing your last video!

You're cute. And you're funny. And I miss you very, very much.

Really. <3

[devilishlypure]

Hahaha, nice one.

I miss you too, love. I hope you're doing well!

[Nagshain]

This has always been one of my favorite of your songs, the problem is< i sing song that i like, and it's a little weird if i sing about liking guys that like Harry Potter. I mean that doesn't stop me from singing, but you know, akward

[iAmortentia]

i love listening to this song on my iPod! <3 so true!

i love seeing your new wall, hope mine comes in soon, JUST stuck it in the mailbox, SIGH. unfortunately for the both of us it's currently a SATURDAY. yes, hope it gets there nicely. =)

[Shabogie456]

I started to listen to this song and my friends just looks at me and says "Wow that could be written about you" lol.

Love your songs

[HPhorsegirl]

Amazing. As always. :P This is definitely one of my favorite songs. <3

MISS YOU! :D

[CountryGirlColby]

lols Lauren i love this! i'm basically that way as well lols. All my friends say i have an unhealthy obsession, because i listen to the music and that he's fake so i shouldn't care. but i do and i love you! and Harry Potter!

[ordinaryface]

Your songs are all just so amazing, i loved it :-) It was brilliant

[CleverestWitch2188]

Lauren... that was seriously adorable. Like. Seriously. I'm glad it's not painful anymore. =]

I wanted to thank you for signing my cd at LeakyCon and taking the time to talk to me. You are a very lovely person.

-Sara

[Clouds1Apprentice]

This song is epicly amazing!!! Lauren, your amazing, I'll say it till my face turns blue. XD

[andrewcp]

[iwantaweasleysweater]

This makes me happy.

[RockstarRaquel]

Lauren, this is seriously my theme song. I jam out to this in the car all the time. I love it! I am so happy you made this video... I was going to make you a cardthingy about this song for your wall... I just need time to do it. :)

[CRUNKRacoon14]

*BANGS HEAD ON KEYBOARD*

WHY HAVENT I SENT AN INDEX CARD?!

HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN?!

*sniffle*

the song is amazing though. <3

[devilishlypure]

You still have time! The deadline is like, February 2010.

[ranger7theseries]

I believe there are programs for that. And I believe they involve 12 steps. jk ;) heheh Aw. :D

[dancinerd]

i love this song so much! the first time I heard it it was stuck in my head for hours!!!! thank you for writing this! my life in song!!!!

[coolstream1]

Wounds; time all heals!

[RaddishxEarrings]

I love this song; I sing it all the time. You write the best songs.

[BeingTheHunt]

I can relate to this song. I don't know any nerd girls =/

I'd jump at the chance to be Mr. Devilishlypure.

Any plans to move to the UK any time soon? =D

[jackiecan318]

Two thumbs up! (I like Harry Potter!)
