O Death (Traditional)

[cessaleehope]

that was soooo cool!!!!

[KawaHato]

this is so good!

[mugofdoom]

You should definitely do a cover of Tom Dooley. It would be stellar.

[MrZacBlake]

holy Crap i can see your other Eye .....thought you only had one there for a lil bit ;p BTW i love your music

[kNzXD3]

i'm in love <3 !

[ArcanaIntellego]

Great job, tnx from Italy

[ShadowDia]

All the awards!

[Althoughnesslessland]

She doesn't play instruments. She plays with them instead.

[OpieTheRipper]

There needs to be women like this in Florida.

[shovster67]

@OpieTheRipper Also In Manitoba Canada!!!

[gwentland1]

Outstanding, Great Job!!!

[818TUCAN818]

Hello i'm in GREAT NEED of this song, and i love your rendition of it seeing as it is public domain and this is your song i was wondering if i could get your permission to use this song in a video im making?

[DontGetVaginal]

I normally like your songs, but this one doesn't hold a candle to the Ralph Stanley version. Though thats probably because he is so old the song has so much more impact.

[joeygsmom]

dear jesus...otherworldly and strangely moving. Good job on the song, Im just not sure what feelings this evokes.Youre a cool chick.

[deadmandrunk]

Interesting use of the instruments at the beginning, especially the plucking of the guitar strings.

[Bigmanbam44]

you are amazing 

[monostidtabarnak]

I wondered where this was going, and then the slide and drum came in... Epic WIN. All the way.

[TheLarns]

one of a kind

[darkshadowfuq]

I've watched this video 3 times in a row. It's stuck now. If I get caught singing at work again, I'm blaming you. --note-- my singing voice is NOWHERE NEAR as good as,,well,,,anybody

[darkshadowfuq]

That was awesome.

[undadoginc]

damn...this is...amazing!

[whovianfloovian]

One hundred and forty six people are tone deaf....

[whovianfloovian]

Absolutely my favourite version of this song. It's so deliciously creepy, nails down your spine stuff.

[ralvinsilver]

About two days still listening the same song

[kookookamou]

Chilling. stunningly beautiful cover.

[accdron]

Your feel and interpretation is so good. Your work with Nataly Dawn on Waits' 'Diamonds and Gold' is one of my favorites - the bowed banjo is haunting. This interpretation of Oh Death is superb!

[gypsyqueen85]

Wow! Very talented, amazing being able to play all these instruments and have a lovely voice on top of that. Would pay big bucks to see her in concert.

[frank198109]

Awesome version! Good job!

[ireal1985]

You are amazing

[sing1mgs]

What a beautiful version of this song. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and talent. A powerful rendition of this traditional song filled with so much atmosphere.

[undertherose831]

Just absolute genius. i LOVE this. So glad i found this.

[HideYourKids100]

And I thought I was amazing because I could play guitar...

[chlorr]

GIRL you are talented! this is a very unique rendition. love it, love your voice, as another musician i am very impressed and i love everything about what you've done to make this song your own.

[LaDyTrOn85]

You are the most talented young woman I have ever had the privilege of opening my ears up to. I've never seen anyone play a banjo with a fiddle bow (White Noise). Impressive work, missus. Please never stop. It puts the biggest smile upon my face.

[Euzin0]

Que Bostaaaaa

[GustheGunGuy]

Holy sh*t, you're pretty talented. Anywhere I can get the guitar tuning/chord progression?

[Ghostlyghostgamer]

I feel sad for the 142 people who thought this song was exclusive to Supernatural.

[AlexanderBartlett]

Ten kinds of awesome right here!

[Bisbonian]

Well done. Creepy powerful.

[SCriverdiver]

She has a beautiful voice. I like the drums.

[elismusicshow]

Awesome version!

[ferbicus]

Totally missed the point of the song... I don't care how many people don't like this comment, it's the truth. Good job, but the whole mystique of this song is the acapella vocals of Ralph Stanley. I'm not saying you did a bad job at all, just that I don't like the instruments being involved.

[CoreyHollywood]

I always though about using a batton on an electric guitar. Did you do the video edit yourself too? Its really good

[leonelcont]

O Death, good song great singer

[shovster67]

The more I listen to this song about Death the more I begin to understand Life.

[3SkatingLibras]

This is amazing! Congratulations ;D

[newaccountdebzbd]

Awesomely talented sisters!

[ViolareAngelus]

You're a beautiful soul. Thank you. -tips hat-

[EmoLight13]

1 woman band....... she plays every instrument and sings..... AMAZING!

[newtimes2020]

@ Swash: yeah, agree. She's acquitted herself quite nicely here. Good job.

[AllKindsaGirls]

i've watched this video of yours a few times over the last year or so, enjoyed it every time to say the least. your take on this traditional song is very unique, and your musical diversity is inspiring. finally had to tell you what a good job your doing, keep it up! :)

[bodybag3b]

[jsullivaniii]

[IpCrackle]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. You have some amazing talent.

[loquaciousbunny]

A pleasure to listen to!

[shovster67]

It's quite awsome that she can play all those insrtuments so well and sing with such authority. Well done. Two thumbs up Lauren!

[newaccountdebzbd]

[whompasaurus]

the only thing more beautiful than your face is the sound that comes out of it.

[jaguar447]

beautiful

[brotherriley]

Wow. That's all I can say.

[swashbuckler691]

I believe Ralph Stanley would approve.

[chlorr]

@swashbuckler691 i'm almost certain that he would.

[SeansAMAN]

it's super creative. it's messed up sounding... but it's super creative.

[MegaGamehunters]

Supernatural Brought me Here. :)

[sleepwalker4u]

you and your band almost all look alike... awesome song

[515742617000027]

Charley Patton's Oh Death beats ALL

[MrEarcheese]

@515742617000027 Subjective.

[DingoPalehorse]

Awesome! This chick has it all.

[RoseWood1488]

innovative version, Beautiful.

[AnEducation]

Excellent!

[B7Guzman]

I'm not very fond of this rendition. I don't think your voice fits the song. I think it's a very good effort though. Maybe I feel it's not your style? But I really like your other videos.

[ciaobebbo050]

Brilliant

[andipoetic]

Playing guitar like a violin? I had no idea that would work but it sounds so amazing!! This whole this is amazing..it's the best version I've ever heard!

[jojoGjoy]

the only good thing in this video is her voice and all the rest SOCKS !!

[melodicanify]

Talk about talent! I love when people can do all their own instrumentals and vocals like this. :)

[piranah88]

Disliked her voice, loved the instrumental version. And she doesn't say DEATH. Enunciate your "th" sound, girly.

[rowan1325]

Loved it. Great video

[divine0enigma]

Silly woman, those aren't cellos.

[SoftSailz]

awesome vid.

[tortison]

[unclean6666]

[uchihazer00]

MUINTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO  SHOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW DESCUPA O EZAGERO ^^'

[killbosby]

I can not put into words how badly I would love to jam out with you. seriously. There isn't a song on your channel I don't simply adore. bravo.

[jimmylee123able]

A great rendition of a great folk song

[JonT423]

Your amazing!!!!!!!! I loved this the only complaint i got is that wasnt all the lyrics.

[shazziemel]

Very talented. A one woman band.



[danieldulen]

never seen so much talent in my life

[Lqiora]

ahahaha i lol when I watched this video xD

[Trebor6645]

Lovely interpretation of an excellent song. A much heavier bluesy version is; Lovechild - Death same lyrics their own tune,

[CptFlailing]

At first I wasn't sure if I like this song or not. It has now become my new crack. Awesome job! Now to go kick death in the balls and steal his iPod so I can have this song also!

[TheL00M]

Amazing job, Lauren!

[f2fbassist2]

really love that song, and you did an outstanding job of preforming it

[tacobenderboy]

amazing!!!!!! was the slide guitar in an open tuning? open g?

[kenbrock61]

interesting.. couple suggestions. . harmonics too. .but it's wild. . and worthy. . could be brilliant. .

[kenbrock61]

brilliant..

[SchwarzerWind]

Damn....just damn. You're incredible!

[wendell0067]

Absolutely Amazing



[BenDuvallIrwin]

Good job, you put an interesting spin on an old song while retaining the original emotion.

[89MasonDixon]

119 people don't know talent when they hear it.

[rmw247]

i love her facial expressions when she sings :)

[ErikePC1]

verry verry awesome

[AlyssonHell]

Awesomeness all around on this video.

[TheLittleMissDead]

HOW ARE YOU IN 3 PLACES AT ONCE!

[MrEarcheese]

@TheLittleMissDead She? There's 3 people - triplets! Lauren, Laura and Lauri.

[TheLittleMissDead]

@MrEarcheese OMG!

[ttreiop]

awesome. way to upstage those crazy asian kids with their triple guitars playing mario or whatever. :D

[twitchey93]

Ok you have songs on itunes but not this one why!!!! This has been drivin me nuts all day the one version they played on supernatural isnt half as good as yours. PLEASE put this on itunes

[artickman]

I'm pretty impressed, that's REALLY good cover.

[legatolaurel]

Great cover! You did a killer good job of this.

[MrMikenotts01]

bollocks to this - listen to CHARLEY PATTON: the original, not this whitebread shite copy

[darkwatershadow]

@MrMikenotts01 Not a Charley Patton cover, just a folk song. 

[theevilbaby01]

I really liked it

[beamdude61]

This actually rocks... I am old hehe and old school bluegrass this wench ROCKS

[thetheraine]

This is great Lauren, I hope someone good signs you up...good luck... ; )

[geofferychaucer]

You, ma'am, are a badass!!! I love it!

[scottvanhook]

WOW!



[zeke1234ish]

[cinnamonstar181]

Good job!!!

[klGugood]

really really well done.

well constructed and lovely voice.

[MethosUSMC]

[cptnlechuck]

if I was Death I'd give you a fright every now and then just to hear you sing this song.

[MrJohn6429]

her and mystery guitar man should make a song :)

[BrewManPhilly]

I just played this 10x in a row. Very catchy tune. I think I'll make this my annual birthday song.

[bigthundergunz]

That's awesome! Very impressive! Thank you.

[robertperkins0313]

I wish we could do a song together. You are realy good. I love to sing but I cant play an instrument at all. Very Nice Job

[rliparulo]

Wow, fantastic. Very talented.

[VchaosTheoryV]

Great song! i like the other version as well, but this is more contemporary, not a bad thing

[13randoK]

will you marry me?????? im in love

[FinalBreathofAnalog]

beautiful girl beautiful song

[mcbob32]

i apollogize, i wrote that at the beginning of the song, but after it got going i liked it.

[tokyoluv97]

What dont you do? honestly. Amazing voice miss lady

[mcbob32]

why did you have to butcher a perfectly good song????

[ZaJaClt]

@mcbob32 "calls the wambulance"

[holyise]

@mcbob32 Exactly what song are you referring to? the one that thousands of people have been remaking for almost a hundred years? or some cheap remake?

[DreadFugitiveMind]

@mcbob32 please show us your version =) let's see how you do

[DebShaw]

I love this lady's voice!

[KittyFooFo0]

I'm glad for your success. I did not make it to SXSW, but I did make it to Las Vegas with an award for documentary film competition. Thank you for your help. Be well, and all the best.

[dirt311]

You are very talented.

[yellow4neck]

nice job, i loved it !

[TheOgieMoran]

Everyone shut up! I'm trying to listen to the song!

[AuralJRockInvasion]

This and Jen Titus's rendition are easily my favorites.

[bearbooty101]

this was horrible

[TruthInTheLieStack]

you have some serious talent, but I assume you already knew that. great cover.

[Finnigan934]

ur super cool this song is great i like u lots

[flamegecko]

Pizza pizza you cant walk, but oh you sure can walk :L

[Norirusher]

simplesmente FODA ! . ;x

[gatsby5555]

Gonna be honest, didn't like it at first... but it definately has grown on me. Good job! :)

[futinc]

Drop the body right off it's frame, both earth & worms have there claim. ;)

[dnmehay]

@futinc "there" => "their" (?) Or is this some weird post-Gaelic dialect of English that I didn't know existed?

[loshejas]

You should know that after hearing this song I fell in love with your music. Good job and gratz !! :)

[jedigandhi]

Fantastic job! Play on!

[mephestopheles71]

WOW! This is hands down the most amazing version of this song I've ever heard!

[Babs44sun]

My god...this is fantastic!

[EllieBainbridge]

You are incredibly talented x

[twitchey93]

I love how your doing random shit with a violin bow and tapping on the frets and making it sound good!!!

[MrOldAndy]

I have it on good authority that this is what DEATH plays on his iPod when he's doing his rounds.

.

:)

[Brookelinnified]

@MrOldAndy freakin' AWESOME!!!

[mikeqigong]

@MrOldAndy You are so right..

[Operationraptortalon]

@MrOldAndy I didn't but now that I've found it I'll put it on, thank you.

See you soon ;)

[Fouremyleofceres]

Oh baby, You have the voice/

You just have never lived it once.

I know The couplet doesn't rhyme

You just weren't that sad

until another time

[ladyplumeria1]

this is beautiful, have you ever been to the Galax Fiddlers Convention?

[westems23]

I've seen Ralph Stanley do this live, and next to his haunting voice i would have to say you did a great job. Keep it up

[SophiaGorgeous]

just perfect!

[Nihmy]

I just thought you might like to know the song is not quite that old and there is an original artist who can be credited. Lloyd Chandler (1986-1978) under the title "Conversation with Death"

[mysteryshrimp]

@Nihmy Maybe. He was the earliest that we know of to sing it. Like so many of the songs of this general age and genre, there are several different versions floating around, and we might know who wrote or found a particular version. However, like House of the Rising Sun and Scotch and Soda, we're not certain who wrote the original.

The Wichita Eagle: "No one has the foggiest idea who wrote (Oh, Death)" said Joe Wilson, director of the National Council for Traditional Arts in Washington, D.C"

[Saltyember]

"there is a war"~Leonard Cohen, if you aren't aware of this song now you are.

ps. why don't you tour your way out to eastern canada (I guarantee it'll be good time)

[WhisperSister]

Wow... I am thoroughly amazed. This is absolutely stunning. So much feeling and insane talent. So stoked to have found your channel!

Sweet Dear Lord, I think I'm in love.
