Sarah Jarosz "My Muse"

[JourneyHome]

Outstanding - creativity flows through Sarah straight from the source

[1PhilHarmonic]

Thank you Sarah for discovering why you are here.

I'm still trying to figure out why I am.

Peace & Music

[seeker111168]

YES!!! I love everything this girl does...I have'nt found a song yet by her that is bad or boreing...Awesome gift to us!

[davekelly1957]

@seeker111168 Just one actually, I don't like the Radiohead cover she does. I don't like Radiohead and I don't think Sarah can make it any more palatable. But lots of her generation seem to be profoundly influenced by that band (Chris Thile to name but one). I don't see it bringing anything relevant to Americana or Bluegrass.

[greg25ism]

I ll say only 3 words....amazing...amazing...a­mazing!

[melodicdreamer72]

I seem to be able to just go from one Sarah Jarosz video to another; pressing the thumbs up button.

[MSTVism]

Wow, I listened to this song for the first time and was in shock. I have never heard anything so lovely.

[rifle2701]

very soothing indeed!!

[captainironears]

Absolutely love this song, I cry every time. Sarah is just so incredible.

[coopercity1]

she is not using any pick ups..

[Nativegirl1985]

REPLAY!!! 

[coopercity1]

Beautiful voice, and melody. Can

Anyone tell me what kind of guitar

This is?

[joeypalin]

All great comments...but my favorite thing about her? She is fantastic live. Incredible singer/song writer!!

[mjt11860]

i love the erie & mystical chord progressions. kind of reminds me of led zeppelin. fantastic!!

[MrTbowow]

got my heart!!!!!!!!

[kwamveil]

hooch to be a transition piece this stop said

[adamlayman1986]

Somone posted a comment stating this song sounds like Nick Drake "day is done". Not even close to the same. Drake's song is in a minor key, and never transitions to a major, her song is completely in a major key. Huge difference, yeah the instrumentation, as in the way they play the strings sounds sort of similar, but this girl is a force of music to be reckoned with, and did NOT steal from Drake. Just wanted to clear that up.

On a seperate note I love Sara Jarosz!!

[shadyspot1]

Sarah- I play your CD in my truck every time I drive. I find your voice and stringed instruments to be the perfect combination to delight my earbones. Actually, it makes me a bit emotional if that makes sense. I heard you on PHC a month or so ago and ordered your CD straightaway, well, 2 CD's actually. I would love to hear you in concert some day. Thank you for so much listening pleasure! Can't wait for the next CD!

[CRAXYFINGERS76]

This girl is simply amazing. It's really refreshing to see young artists with real talent these days.

[SuperbCurmudgeon]

I just discovered Sarah and I am in love!

[CBSSOM]

This song is so awesome! I wish I wrote it

[grizzledgizzard]

simply beautiful

[OHBCPicker]

Just a guess ...but it may be an octave mandolin. If you capo your mandolin at the 3rd fret like she has, you will be exactly an octave above her and can play along with her

[Flanneljack]

look, I just heard this song, and I really like this girl but it sounds way too much like nick drake's "day is done" its on youtube

[CRAXYFINGERS76]

@Flanneljack seriously? No comparison.

[TheLeastDiseased]

She's just amazing.

[wwwgraham]

This song is worthy of Joni Mitchell and I've never said that about any artist before.

[AcousticMax]

@wwwgraham saw her in London tonight and I thought exactly the same thing.I've seen so many people live but I knew I was in the presence of something special from the first song. :o)

[sund7cuU]

lordy this song devastates me........

Sarah's about a year older than Miley Cyrus, just to put things in perspective here....

[HousleyMike]

@sund7cuU -- A sly blooming comment, LOL.

[OOKYDOOK]

Stunning talent!

[mindop1]

she is going to be one of the great artists in this times

[mindop1]

my prefer new artist now she is going to be one of the great artist in this times

[TheMadCheeseGrater]

I like everything about this song and her performance.

I stumbled onto the Music Fog channel about five hours ago and am truly impressed by their competency at producing music videos. Thank you, Music Fog...and Sarah Jarosz, Sons of Bill, Catherine MacLellan, Carrie Rodriguez, Terri Hendrix, subdudes, 11 Bones, The Difibulators, and on and on and on...

[ogenmatic]

delightful artistry...such a pure vocal talent.

[ogenmatic]

delightful artistry...

[xeddiexR8]

My god, she is amazing! 

[humphreytech]

@PhantomGuitar1969

LOL man, you sound like you've got a shrine in your basement with her picture surrounded by candles and a romantic table set for two down there just waiting for the day when you two can be together :)

[PhantomGuitar1969]

@humphreytech ...lol i wouldnt go that far... but i wouldnt aske her to leave, thats for sure. ... But all joking aside, I was just amazed at her ability to capture such emotion and he playing ability, cuz likei stated i am a musician thats been at it for years, and u rarely come across such talent at such an early age - That's all. :) ....

[humphreytech]

John Lennon reincarnated.

[scottleeper]

I cannot get enough of this song.

[PhantomGuitar1969]

Cant quit listening to her. She is like an unbelieveable person. Has to be. no one can sound like that, and play with such heart and not be extraordinary. I wish i was "her muse"....

[rsphillips2]

this is my new favorite. come back to memphis

[PhantomGuitar1969]

no.. look closer, there s a pickup stuck to the guitar, toward the back.

[Mouldytone]

Sarah Jarosz knocks me out every time I hear her perform. Her album 'Song Up In Her Head' is completely wonderful and everyone should buy it. I`d also like to congratulate and thank MusicFog for presenting such beautifully recorded clips.

Tony

[mosiprop]

That instrument is often called an Octave Mandolin.. and Sarah plays it masterfully.

Her performance of this original song is soul-touching... it's so utterly beautiful.

I've become a huge Sarah Jarosz fan overnight... she has such original, pure music!

[Summerlandtopcat]

Absolutely wonderful, can't wait for the second album.

[KnottArena]

Beautiful song and performance.

[zachhartwell]

She has, in all of her songs, an immense grasp on dynamics. I think that's one of the marks of a great musician, that they can absolutely control everything about the dynamics of the song, being very deliberate.

[PopHorizonScanner]

Such a wonderful, mesmerizing tune from Sarah. Thanks, MusicFog, for capturing so many amazing performances, like this one, in superb audio and video quality. It is greatly appreciated.

[juicepgh412]

Nice song. Beautiful voice!

[toodance]

ooh. I think her innate musicality is astonishing and I'm engaged with admiration.

can't wait to find out what she'll conjure up next!

[9firefly9]

One of Sarah's best compositions to date. And the octave mando never sounded better. Thnx for posting this - it's a keeper!

[MrWubbie]

@red; I think it's a baritone guitar they usually have eight stings set in six courses.

[RedCedarRiverBand]

Two questions if anyone can help me out.

1) What kind of insturment is she playing? Is it a cross of a Mandolin and Guitar?

2)What kind of pickup is on that guitar and where can I get one. I have a Godin 5th Ave. Acoustic and i am looking to put a small pickup on it like that.

Thanks

[MusicFog]

@RedCedarRiverBand Sarah is playing an octave mandolin. Not sure on the pickup, but you're not hearing any of it in this recording---strictly microphones on this one.

[SmoothCriminal8568]

@MusicFog It's actually a mandocello

[zamelch]

@MusicFog aka mandola or mandicello

[gwoman6071]

@RedCedarRiverBand -- More specifically, she's playing a Fletcher Brock octave mandolin. Gorgeous instrument.

[dracomalfoyzgirl]

@RedCedarRiverBand its called a mandocello

[diptanshu]

@RedCedarRiverBand this pickup on the octave is a L R BAGGS radius... i have used it and its good with a preamp.

[jetsfan216]

@RedCedarRiverBand Not a mandolin, not sure other than that.

[zachbevill]

@RedCedarRiverBand the pickup looks like the Radius pickup made by LR Baggs.

[BERSERKERpoetry]

thank you for this. It's a wonderful performance and song. I like the direction her music is heading.

[fetermcblues]

very lovely and soulful .. !
