This isn't a love song, it's a song about love. This song truly brings out the raw emotions and everyone can relate to the simple words. Kate herself is beautiful as is her voice.
i've heard this a million times over and played it too,but for some reason i get it now. i love how naive the song is. i think its hearing a live version, it's more raw and stripped.
In this era of "X Factor" and manufactured "groups" and karaoke singers, it is great to hear Kate. She is very taleneted. On one of the Hootenays, I thought she was the best performer. I hope she is around for a long time and keeps these "WAGS" and talentless wannabes away.
she is singing about a wren she saw in her nanna`s garden, although she knows a bird cannot indeed love her in a normal kind of way she still yearns to lead the life of a small feathered creature fluttering from hedge to tree, the lyrics she removed said " I wish I had a beak" and "I wish your nest was my nest and we could eat worms together".
sounds much better than original and brittersrules is right - all the lighting, guitars, voice and music convey beautiful, powerful emotion well done psycho 05
Fuuuuuuuck!! when does she think to come to Mexico???!!!! why she does not understand that we need her to perform here?!!! Pleaaaaaaase!!! come to Mexico!!!!
Quality.....Living in the Middle East right now but Kate gets alot of airtime out here. Good Album. Foundations is funny, Birds is Clever, this is beautiful.....reminds me of The Cranberies. Good to see a lack of Americanism in the singing. No offence intended, but its good to hear...
Yeah I know.......im not sure what your point is? My point is she sings in a voice that represents where she is from, not that wanky American tone most singers use.....
this is what makes great music. Not particulary musically advanced, nor is she an brilliant musician, but the raw emotion she sends accross is just incredible. She's earned huge respect from me with this song. so beautiful
Sometimes beautiful things makes me have a mental block because this song is too wonderful and i can't listenin' so many times coz it makes me cry inside...
i know you'll never read this becci... but for my sake i hope you do... this basically is what i think i would write if i could... i'm not going to say this to you or send it but i do love you and i know you'll never love me
I discovered Kate about a weeks ago and bought her CD en route to Amsterdam today. Her lyrics and timing are amazing. Love "The Nicest Thing". Best track on the CD. She cannot do anything wrong in my eyes and ears.
170672346 dont reply to that i watched this vid weeks ago and all i cud c was your name all over the comments, i decide to watch it again and ur bloody here again in polite words plz leave (fuck OFF) and stop ur campaign against kate i wud like 2 c genuine posts from other users go away
MD200666. I explained several times before, but clearly, you are unable to understand a simple, basic principle. I made one brief, initial comment, and since, have only replied to other user comments directed towards me - ironically including yourself. Have you grasped it yet ?

you are a complete tit you hav written about 50 comments alone on this video jus f off and let people who enjoy her work talk to each other and enjoy her music, you say you a talent spotter obviously you are not cause she has a re3cord deal and is doing well or are you trying to tell me u hav more power then her record label i dont think so, sod off plz i want to come here and listen to constructive comments from fans not a sad jealous plonker who thinks he is simon cowell
Oh, it's you again MD200666. The one who can't come up with a constructive comment in Kate's defence and who always, without exception, resorts to foul language and abuse. The one who wants to stop free speech on YouTube.
If I were campaigning against Kate, I would be plastering my comments all over her other videos here, also MySpace and any other blog I could find. I'm not doing that, for the reasons stated. Got it yet ?
What is good music? What I think or what you think it should be? I like Kate Nash, her album currently in my favourites. Some obviously don't seem to like her singing style and how she got into the music industry. If you don't like it don't listen to it, simple. I don't like heavy metal but I don't go around slating it. I find her music true, from the heart and I relate to it, she defiantly does not deserve the comments regarding her talent. She has talent, it just might not be to your taste.
Hello ruffrice, thanks for your reply. I did explain in previous posts that I don't listen to it or view it. Why ? It's not a question of taste - it's because she has absolutely zero talent. Literally any one of you out there could do what Kate does in terms of 'playing','singing','composing'inside a fortnight.

Kate is the perfect example of how low the music business has sunk in order to accommodate the limited musical comprehension levels of the mass population, who follow the latest fad like sheep. It's sad that young people don't open their eyes and ears to what has gone on before, they would be truly inspired. The cream used to rise to the top - not anymore !
It seems you like causing a stir.... We all have a right to our opinions. Youtube is indeed a platform in which we can express that opinion. However you surprise me with your "in the good old days" attitude and your assumptions that every self affirmed fan of Kate must be a member of the "limited musical comprehension level of the mass population" society (your words). I am indeed intrigued of the artists you reference to as the cream?
Thanks for your acknowledgment that we are all entitled to our opinions ruffrice. The cream ? Gracie Fields, George Formby, Al Jolson, Old Mother Riley, to name but four.
I was being quite playful, no aggression intended. I was going to ask you why it was you were so upset about various College students not getting "a look in" or why the music industry is led only by collaborations of teenagers.
I think I explained my position in numerous previous comments. It's not really led by the teenagers, it is led by power brokers taking advantage of teenagers in a cultural desert. Have a good 2009 anyway !
Presume you mean - you do not 'accept' or 'believe' this concept - and there is a small typo there. You are correct in that people tend to listen to 'music' they enjoy. Comprehension levels are generally much lower now and people listen to increasingly simpler formats compared to popular music of the thirties / forties etc.
* I do not [feel] / [think] / [accept] / [believe] this concept ... all valid.
Yes and no. Technicality in certain modern music is extremely high. However simplicity can suggest refinement or even minimalism as much as a lowering of intelligence, if that is what you are indicating towards.
Count Basie's piano represents simplicity to me in his playing, but there is massive musical ability behind it, I don't see it here, but good luck to those who do !
170672346. Perhaps you made some point about the abilities of Kate Nash, but what is, and what truely matters in my opinion, is that with (as you say) the little knowledge of kate nash with her piano and guitar, she still makes beautiful songs. Very nice lyrics where a lot of people feel good about it. I mean, when I am a bit down and I listen to this song, sometimes I just cry, cuz its beautiful. So you don't have to be an enormous artist to make good music.
just a sweet song!

I was being quite playful, no aggression intended. I was going to ask you why it was you were so upset about various College students not getting "a look in" or why the music industry is led only by collaborations of teenagers.
But I didn't feel it would go anywhere.

I think I explained my position in numerous previous comments. It's not really led by the teenagers, it is led by power brokers taking advantage of teenagers in a cultural desert. Have a good 2009 anyway !

People tend to listen to music that they enjoy. I do not this concept is damaged (on a mass scale) in relation to teenaged youth.

Presume you mean - you do not 'accept' or 'believe' this concept - and there is a small typo there. You are correct in that people tend to listen to 'music' they enjoy. Comprehension levels are generally much lower now and people listen to increasingly simpler formats compared to popular music of the thirties / forties etc.

* I do not [feel] / [think] / [accept] / [believe] this concept ... all valid.
Yes and no. Technicality in certain modern music is extremely high. However simplicity can suggest refinement or even minimalism as much as a lowering of intelligence, if that is what you are indicating towards.

Count Basie's piano represents simplicity to me in his playing, but there is massive musical ability behind it, I don't see it here, but good luck to those who do !

If you mean the technicality in modern music part then you need to look a little further.
Or, if something is obviously wrong I'd love to hear what it is?

170672346. Perhaps you made some point about the abilities of Kate Nash, but what is, and what truely matters in my opinion, is that with (as you say) the little knowledge of kate nash with her piano and guitar, she still makes beautiful songs. Very nice lyrics where a lot of people feel good about it. I mean, when I am a bit down and I listen to this song, sometimes I just cry, cuz its beautiful. So you don't have to be an enormous artist to make good music.
