Tangled Up Kites

[jahoppes]

I love this song :)

[trackstud0913]

1:30 - 1:37 "I lack violins to make sorrows of sins, so I guess it must be alright..."

I have heard that as life goes, we learn that God gave us all we need in the end when we were created. If you haven't got the tool for the job, the job doesn't need to be done. We're all sinners. No changing that. Just let those kites fly and hold their strings like they were keeping your ship afloat amongst a storm. Our scars make us who we are, and yours are beautiful.

[Chikarinki]

You look so much like Ingrid Michaelson in those glasses. (: Anyway, you're voice is wonderful. :3

[juliajane05]

Your lyrics are so philosophical--makes me realize I'm not the only one who thinks that way... Amazing how you put abtract words/thoughts in such a fashion that can depict a thought in such a tangible

[littleboss44]

OMG Lauren loving the glasses!!!!! And loving ya'!

[mdkay1995]

You are definitely the display of what kind of person SHOULD be discovered on youtube. not sombody like Beiber who is crap at music.

But out of curiosity becasue of the deepness and thought behind your lyrics, how young are you? 

[moneyquickeasy]

@mdkay1995 She was about 18 when she recorded this video. She is now 22.

[ALTERED13TH]

The lyrics are nice but why do you shift to the third person in the second verse? The rest of the song is all in the first person, except for the chorus, which is personal and it seems awkward to shift to third person unless of course you are singing that verse to another person.

[TBCHQ]

wonderful :)

[Bliza139]

this is fantastic. along with all of your other songs or course.

[IcculusMcMuffin]

it's an honor to listen to you. thank you for being you.

[IcculusMcMuffin]

it's an honor to listen to your music. thank you for being you.

[CDRJoc]

I think you're awesome.

Amazingly awesome.

That's all there is.

[bobc1976]

I've commented on this before.......but I've come in tonight, unlike any other, and found myself listening to this again....awesome just dont cut it....one of the best songs I've ever heard!!!

[wowiamoiko]

this is the type of song I could never cover because it's just so perfect.

[evilsushix]

"But I lack violins

To make sorrows of sins"

That is just... an amazing line. Great song.

[2ruby202]

In my humble opinion, when it comes to achingly beautiful songs I didn't think anyone could come close to Deb Talan and then you come along and blow that theory right out of the water. I am GUTTED that your first album is no longer available :(

[ekbyrd1]

suchhh a fantastic song.

weird of me to notice, I know, but the lighting kind of matches the tone of the song.

much love for it. <3 :)

[lostbreakers]

My favorite song from that album! So nice and peacfull and the lyrics are exceptional. Great job! Love the album! Keep at it!

[manonjerome1975]

It's so interesting to see you grow, both as a artist and a woman. You look so young here! And still wonderful as well:)

[ZechsMerquise73]

I thought this said 'Tangled Up Kittens'. I'm disapointed.

[LaurenOC12]

Yeah, I had to pull that video. PETA threatened legal action.

[loveleathchupla]

^.^ lol

[protagonist14]

they always ruin other people's fun don't they?

[LaurenOC12]

Also shut down my ferret racquetball league.

[protagonist14]

Those bastards.And that was my choice for a good competitive sport.How bout using monkeys?Technically,they're more related to humans (or is that the other way around?) and PETA would have no power over you.

[natesrry]

@LaurenOC12 they could do nothing, rename it please =(

[anmargow279]

this song is so beautiful. she is so awesome.

[emmurepoop]

You should really do a song with ace enders. seriosly.... contact him.

[gregorybrandt]

My 14.68 is in the mail. I hope this song is on it.

PS. I am paying in pennies.

You look really beautiful with these glasses..:o)

[LaurenOC12]

Thank you sir.

[ThomasRaymann]

You´re welcome. :o)

I wasn´t going to be as anyone else and tell you how great is your music...but I changed mi mind...you´re really wonderful. Especially in this song...you kind of remind me of my very firts girfriend, my very first love...and I just couldn´t fight off the tears.

What would I give to meet someone like you...You are simply brilliant (and not for just one day in 1988.) :o)

By the way, if anythink I wrote doesn´t make sense, forget it....my English probably isn´t that good.:o)

[bbullock]

@ThomasRaymann I would argue she always looks beautiful...

Wow...this was nothing else but just impressing...

Really a great song, talked to my heart in a way!

Very calming voice as well, please keep it up :-)

Greetings...

[pgl0897]

Beautiful simplicity. You got great lyrics. This is the best lyric i've heard in a song for a long time: "But it feels like there's little to show, For time that you've spent on things that no one can know". Great stuff.

[easydp]

sounds great. nice mood to it.

[CHaaSTiiTy]

well i cant sing

but i really wish i could make up pretty things on guitar like you can

[rodrigogrohl]

Just lovely!

[05hutk]

i love your lyrics and voice.

your amazing!

xx.

[minodul]

:)

J'aime bien cette chanson !

[youcantkillnick]

I <3 that you have a hole in your shirt... :D

[ianconcidine]

I think it might be a Champion symbol

[0hhelleur]

yes.

[charlesdavud]

i like your music.

[pancakeycakes]

I'm not one to comment on videos, but I thought I should tell you that your songwriting is beautiful and surprising. The song's lovely but I especially like your lyrics.

[nickhaysmusic]

This song makes my life so much better. The lilt of the progression is genius. Thanks so much for your sound!

[serenataorg]

I also like your lyrics, the music fits really well too!

[michaeldmiller]

Damn. I love your lyrics. This is really great stuff.

[bored2hell]

[BoGaRtLiIt2]

[MindlessZombie2006]

Just moves me, like Jewel's songs around the 'Pieces of You' time frame

[wiggsj93]

you are talented...keep it up I'll be listening :) I just subscribed!!

[mindfulmusic78]

You know I really love your lyrics and style,you rock as a songwriter and I look forward to all your songs!!!

[RuckusAmsel]

you remind me SO MUCH of Sarah Harmer. but slightly better

[genericallymashed]

I love this, your voice is amazing. Pure talent.

[HashyBee]

Nice work.

[milkduds920]

youre amazing. ive been listening to julia for about 6 monthes and u both are amazing, but you definetly have much more meaningful lyrics.

[bigbluesmartie]

seriously, this is magical. I've had this in my head all day. Well done and thanks!

[thezenofjen]

it's true. you write great lyrics.

this song reminds me of damien rice. i love it.

[RuckusAmsel]

your voice is just so fuckin' cool - just in case you didn't know before

[amille88]

I always knew you're lyrics were amazing, and your voice, and your guitar playing, but I'm glad other people are finally starting to realize. Cause you deserve it.

[caller789]

so are you gonna start creepy stalking her too like you do Julia?

[amille88]

excuse me? you really need to leave people alone. I've been listening to Lauren's music for quite some time now. and I just happen to really enjoy it. is that a crime? and as for telling me to get a life...you need to get a life. I happen to have one. thank you. I work as a CNA at a nursing home. I work my butt off everyday caring for the elderly. and I go to college. not that you deserve to know anything about me, but whatever. go away.

[caller789]

i didn't tell you to get a life.

your video response to julia is creepy though.

congratulations you go to college.

[amille88]

honestly, leave me alone. it was "creepy" because I have a bad camera. stop being a jerk and go away. this is supposed to be about Lauren....seriously. just stop.

[ProjectSugarCube]

I like it, it has a raw sort of quality that just makes it pop out to me.

Also, the chorus is both simple and profound, which is always good. It's message is clean and full of a truth that only the experienced can recognize to it's full potential.

In shorter words--it's lovely.

[makafeke]

This is so great :)

[Darrwin235]

I have a shirt that looks just like that.... Great song! :)

[jonlia6]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[LaurenOC12]

D is totally in my top 5 favorite letters.

[jonlia6]

Agree : ) A is good to :D

[onelastks928]
