Mirah - Telephone Wires

[Elizabomb]

she's wonderful, her mistakes followed by a little smirk is so genuine.

[Torn2Bitz]

i love this version!

[jollysuck]

Wow, someone obviously didn't practice... Beautiful song, but still. PRACTICE!

[teafountains]

saw her three nights ago. she got off stage and danced with us at the end. she is so lovely.

[xmikywayx]

Haha she played that on my birthday(:

I love this song.

[Himannv]

I love this song.. Sure, this version has a few mistakes in it, but its a fantastic song and her voice is amazingly tranquil. Cheers.

[BlackJacketJones]

Disappointing.

[batalisto]

Like her way of singing :D

[essjane]

argh, she is perfect.

[belovedmakesmusic]

asaturn thats like the nicest thing anyone has done for anyone on the interweb.

[irlandescarrete]

i like your song and your voice is sweet

[Giblets12]

what guitar is that? fucking amazing

[EQUUSREIN]

ok.....dont burst a vein child.........

[EQUUSREIN]

seriously, do u even kno what nigger means u ass

[puppii95]

ouuh..

[XDMissPringleXD]

ummm no

[asaturn]

seems nervous. still plays it better than most anyone else could.

[holdmiester]

you guys are being mean even if it is in the defense of this amazing women. just chillax

[twilightfan531]

aw shes adorable

[haubsen]

maybe practise before u give a gig

rafl sad one

[lilcarmelskin8]

What a let down.

[akaPastel]

She was great live. She's so cute and giggly!

[wtfeezey]

all giggly and what not i like how she didnt stop

[vickorya0822]

soldtodying clearly said it the best.

[babizinha]

cute!

[Graaaainy]

Did you notice Its a complex song to play on guitar? You have no sense of music.

[mMusiCc12]

faggot you try playing that and tell me it's easy

[weetzybat]

aaaah its MIRAH!!

[rxqueen22]

i love her flaws, her genuine spirit. It makes her more real, it makes her such an amazing artist.

[Tigerlilym2]

um hmm. My thoughts exactly. :)

[soldtodying]

she's so honest in her music.

i find the mistakes make it all the more endearing.

[BENJI127]

Her mistakes are totally understandable. This performance was probably a while after she wrote this song; some artists forget even their own work.

It's cute, really, and the crowd even helps her out a bit.

So, quite bitching and enjoy the music. =]

[idkmybffjv]

She uses the same progressions over and over. It's the same progression a lot of pop punk bands use, but with power chords instead of fingerplucking. Either she designed her songs to be infectiously familiar, or she can't/doesn't want to write complex melodies.

I love Advisory Committe and You Think it's Like This but Really It's like That or whatever the fuck it's called.

[pinkrox606]

is that her? the same gurl that sings the garden? i pictured her um thinner.........

[Ambee630]

and some how slightly more gothicish... O-o

[npoc]

whats that matter?

listen to the music.

superficial fuck.

[Pike25x99]

Or don't. It kinda blows.

[npoc]

well, either or.

[STEPHENBIGBUTTN]

yeah me too when you here her sing she sounds really preety but no =[

[telephonewirecalls]

Don't tell me you discovered her music becuase of So You Think You Can Dance.

[MrsNezbit]

Well, I did. And I don't even watch the show. Just got lucky and caught the one episode. Very glad I'm did, because I find I really like her.

[TehPwnererJr]

Are you people serious? Anyone who is honestly a fan of her music wouldn't mind if she hasn't sat down and learned a particular song especially when she is producing such beautiful music. People who expect an exact set don't know what indie music is about, they don't understand flow and experimentation.

[Jimdaniels1]

I love when they make little mistakes, it's so endearing. I like her a lot.

[Pike25x99]

I like musicians that practice. It's not a difficult song to play. Talentless.

[Brianjonestown]

actually Pike, she's a very talented songwriter. Put up some of your own songs before you call anyone talent-free and I'll watch, I promise.

[Pike25x99]

She may be a talented songwriter, she just can't play live obviously. Just a fact. Proof is in the video.

[Brianjonestown]

"Proof" is in 1:34 of footage consisting of little more than tuning a guitar?? C'mon kid, grow up. The fact that you're intimidated by talented women shouldn't also prevent you from thinking.

[Pike25x99]

Kid? You little twirp fool. I should spank you. I just had the wife listen & asked her what she noticed most & she said "The Mistakes." Just like all the other comments saying the same thing. I didn't even have to cue her. Vindication is mine! Now go outside and swing or something.

[Brianjonestown]

LOL "twirp"? "the wife"?? Hmmm...a woman-hater who can't spell. But hey, there are a lot of you on youtube, so run off and circle-jerk with your pals, okay? This page is for thinkers.

[Pike25x99]

HAHA. That is the most moronic thing I have ever heard. This page is where I go to slum w/ the stupid. It's people like you who have dropped it down to the point where it is.

rationalresponders.c o m is for the thinkers.

[Brianjonestown]

You still here, kid?

[Pike25x99]

And who the hell would want to see her sit & "tune a guitar?" C'mon. Do that shit backstage. Or on stage so you don't have to actually play your instrument. That's it. I have it figured out now.

Reading all your comments on your page show me what you are. You can go away now.

[Seedr0]

Stop using "kid" as an insult.

A "kid" would have brains enough to get a better argument, thanks.

[Brianjonestown]

"A "kid" would have brains enough to get a better argument, thanks."

Well, if that's true then it's not an insult, is it? This would make it a term of respect.

Perhaps next time you could try thinking a little more before you post, kiddo.

[Seedr0]

Are you saying you aren't using kid as an insult?

Oh, and once again nice job with the brilliant, original and well formed argument.

[Brianjonestown]

If you really need to ask that question, it won't make a difference one way or another.

As regards your faint-praise insult, I presented an argument here some months ago. You make great claims for yourself as arbiter of brilliance, originality and construction, yet your own argument hasn't appeared. So take all the time you need.

[Seedr0]

It does make a difference, it either means you are being completely irrelevant, or you like character based attacks instead of valid arguments.

I don't care about your past argument, my argument has appeared, blatantly, my argument is that you use age as an insult and that you shouldn't.

You should be thanking me for helping with your arguing skills, but instead you are just proving them worse by repeating THE SAME character based attack. Sad.

[Brianjonestown]

Sorry kid, nothing sad going on hear except your invincible stupidity. An empty and petulant admonition is no argument. You remain the one who jumped in apropos of nothing while ignoring the previous exchange. Learn to wait your turn and bring something tangible to the table the next time you think about approaching adults.

[UnholyProductions666]

i will stab the next person in the jaw to say " post your own stuff and prove your better"

WHEN PEOPLE INSULT A VIDEO< THEYRE NOT ALWAYS SAYING THEY CAN DO BETTER

[Brianjonestown]

Hey little jaw-stabber, there's nothing wrong with slagging a video. But this guy went a lot further than that: It's not a difficult song to play. Talentless.

...which thoroughly deserves a "post-or-shut-up" response. So stab away.

[UnholyProductions666]

i understand that there is nothing wrong with giving your opinion on a video. (I'm A master at that) It's the fact that you said "Post your own stuff and prove your better" and whatever else you said. I don't care if you've insulted the video, I'm merely stating that it

s almost irritating when people say that. Not everyone is trying to say they can do better. That was all I was saying

[Pike25x99]

Please do.

[kgtwin2]

Exactly

[Sweeper5]

This girl has talent as a singer, but not very much as a guitarist. The most shocking thing is that anyone would perform something that they haven't yet learned. There simply is no excuse for not being prepared before perfoming publicly. Yes, mistakes will happen, but this is a case of simply "not knowing" the material.

[Pike25x99]

Mistakes made it painful.

[gorramdoll]

this is really good despite the mistake.

[McGuyvers]

lol hahahaha... sounds sweet!;)

[melissery]

it just looks like she hasn't played it in awhile. not a big deal. i've seen bigger named artists have the same trouble, so who cares.

[amykasio]

omg people! this is a REALLY old song and someone probably requested that she play it for them and she probably hadn't played it in a very long time and was trying to remember how to play it because that's how mirah works. She tries to play songs you request!

[bweedly]

The problem with it is this -

The mistakes she makes are incredibly distracting, which ruins the flow of her music.

Artists like her (acoustic type people) are generally listened to because of their flow. After the video, all I remember are the mistakes.

[kmacattack3]

Can anyone tab this for me? haha

[kmacattack3]

so what she messed up! she's human, it happens. I bet you wouldn't even have the guts to go up there. Her voice was amazing.. she's amazing live. Kudos to her.

[deadwithindark]

also you should notice how she begins to pick up in the end.

[deadwithindark]

i'm sorry to say this dommiel, but i have to say your an idiot. not everyone sounds naturally good in public. plus, i believe these mistakes where intentional. to me it sounds like a person who is expressing there feelings to someone for the first time, which would seem awkward and shaky. i think the mistakes are beautiful. plus, it's the imperfections that makes something special.

[Dommiel]

She shouldn't aim so high if her skill level as a musician is lacking so much. She needs more practice for live performances and should probably look into getting a more skilled guitarist to work with her. I've heard a few of her songs, but this video was the first performance I've seen, and I must say I'm very disappointed in her, even though what I heard I didn't think much of.

[Drewb18c1]

god she sucks so much...freaking screwing up all over the place

jjjjkkkk

that's actually some pretty intricate guitarwork she can screw up all she wants...i'll still love her.

[girlboy18]

she is old but hot

[jvoigt82]

hahaha-fantastic comment

[rlburns666]

You are an idiot.

[jeanniefd]

mirah is fat

[adelebea]

she's a pig

[teafountains]

love her

seeing her next mo in chicago

[MichaelBradus]

Where is she playing in chicago??

[Drewb18c1]

dude...google it

[fratsdomino]

she is adorable.

[luciaxfixia]

mon chien

joue de la guitare mieux

que mirah hahaha

[vullita]

et quelle chansons joue ton chien?

[luciaxfixia]

je ne me

rappelle

pas

[dogsmusic]

i don't think she was high. i think she made mistakes cause she had to concentrate on the chord progression of the song; she basically had her eyes on the fretboard the whole time. you can't blame her. a lot of the chords were high up on the fretboard, she also was fingerpicking.

[kemstarporvida]

the mistakes add character...and she's real high? It's all around dope.

[gumdroplou]

Iron Horse is in SAcramento!!!!

[luciaxfixia]

esta mina canta como una gallina jejeje

[icountyoureyelashes]

yay human beings! and the triumph of beauty in humanity rather than production perfection.

[Seedr0]

I feel sorry for those who think this is flawed.

Those mistakes are artistically perfect.

[sk8wnec]

I've never seen her messed up live. Is she high or something?

[callom]

I think her mistake at the start makes the whole performance more charming.

[miriamleaman]

I think it is soooo cute how she seems to lose it for a second. Performing is hard and everyone(even the greatest like Mirah) are bound to make a mistake. She carries through with it well. If anything, the fact that she fumbles a little makes it better to watch live. I don't want to listen to anyone so superior to everyone else that they don't mess up a little.

[diosmio22]

this is a super embarassing video of her. they sould take this off. nothing against her or anything. i think she has written some of them prettest songs ever.

[buddude420]

i don't care as long as she still writing such a beautiful song like this. mirah is one of the best female artists out there

[garythetramp]

is she alright?

[kaceycash]

Hopefully one day i will get to enjoy Mirah live.
