[theybfw]

[Koato]

[jeanluc6430]

Are you having another East coast tour sometime, soon?

[nightfrailer]

How do you say Lemon Pudding?

[LaurenOC12]

@nightfrailer "Dropkick Sandwich"

[nightfrailer]

@LaurenOC12 Noted. Merry Christmas, with your sandwiches and your puddings.

[jebro]

You really sing the way you feel inside! Love it!

[AtotheDamn]

one of the best songs evar.

[glyncharles]

are we losing something in translation?

[alanjenk1]

unreal thank you for the great music

[kurtandblaine4ever]

Your voice is so lovely. Gorgeous.

[hoserhosfelt]

I always watch your videos when i wake up, remind me to buy you on Itunes so i can listen to you on way to class

[unklewink]

When I've had a crappy day, I click on this song. It's my current "quiet place". Pure magic, Lauren! Thank you for doing this!

[ph0bicc]

Maybe one day you'll read this and notice I've probably commented on every single video you've ever posted. I love you, Lauren and despite I promised myself I've never be a mad fan girl- I am. Thank you so much for making such wonderful music. You've moved so many people.

[lsnook]

Can I just favorite your channel? lol dude you are really good. But really the only reason I am saying that is because I like people with my same name. Not really. But kinda.

[logansdad26]

Amazing.

[abubacar]

wow! chills through the entire song. Good job!

[sroar]

and now i can breathe again.

[glyncharles]

shall we go forth and procreate?

[Archieloverful]

Loved it 

[moneyquickeasy]

You have crazy pretty eyes ... and voice

[melcromz]

Love, love ,love this....brought back a lot of memories..I almost forgot this song and hearing it here made me appreciate the Zombies and my life more...

[joshuapickenpaugh]

Great stuff! I think a duet with you and Tom Waits would be really interesting...thanks for posting!

[ElricoKing]

Will you play at my wedding? I have no clue who it'll be with or when. But the one part I know is you should play there.

[Evilov3]

i love this version of the song! You make it 100 times better than the original. this version is the guy i love and my song.. i love you Lauren. Tu est extraordinaire!

[Ethan098766]

i want your piano like bad.

[LaurenOC12]

@Ethan098766 Me too! It's actually Nataly Dawn's piano. I wish it were mine.

[Ethan098766]

@LaurenOC12 Are you and nataly still working on stuff together cuz i really liked the daylight here ive used lyrics from it like 4 times for my facebook status's

[Hellbrought]

This is beautiful. Is there any place where a fellow pianist could catch of glimpse of the sheet music? I really like this and I think it's be nice to learn.

Thanks for posting this!

-Lici

[LaurenOC12]

@Hellbrought Thank you! Unfortunately, I'm not too good with sheet music so I don't have any. I think you can see my hands for the major sections of it though, if you're the patient type.

[Theblizzardking]

My gosh, this gal's beautiful!

[any1particular]

Great x 100 million billion! And more! :^|

[1234w00t5678]

I love your rendition of the song. It makes the beautiful melody stand out more than the original one I found in the sidebar. I haven't really been into the Zombies, I mean I know a couple of songs and have performed Time of the Season once(bass guitar and vocals), but I hadn't heard of this song before. Great work, and I like your taste in music. If you ever cross the Atlantic to visit the Netherlands, I'd be awesome to jam. Great to hear you're advancing in your musical career, all the best!

[unklewink]

Absolutely enchanting!

[mpalin11]

you have BEAUTIFUL eyes. I just had to say that.

[Szeksp]

So.. so.. so sensitive. Hearttouching. Keep doing such stuff - such amaizing stuff.

[death1281]

How do you say 'C'est magnifique'?

[LaurenOC12]

@death1281 "Lemon pudding"

[nightfrailer]

Such a great sound, nice full piano and the thready 78 phonograph voice, so contained, constrained. What?

[TheFiveIronFanatic]

Why does this only have 13,000 views!? Fantastic stuff, thanks for sharing your talents.

[paulmtrierweiler]

Love it,minus the it

[glyncharles]

i'm serious about a duet. something traditional, something Irish.

[glyncharles]

after seeing the show in San Francisco, i have to tell you that I am Lauren O'Connell groupie for life. it was sooo hot, i don't know how you did it. and finally, no mic, no PA, just raw performance.awesome talent, awesome show.xoxoxox

[SKAman635]

Freakin great

[royalicecream]

how could i miss this? love it!

[chalkeyminimus]

I have been listening to so much of your music lately and I mean this in the best possible way, but nobody should be that talented.

You have a gift. Your music just does something magical inside of me that I can't quite explain. Please don't ever stop.

[glyncharles]

ok i rsvped, just so you know how much acid to put in the punch.

[nickg131]

Your voice is so beautiful...I love the jazz feel you put into it. It's haunting...and absolutely beautiful.

[IzzysHomeVideos]

Truly genius. Our young American Leonard Cohen.

[Gorstagg]

Can you just audition for The Voice™ already hehe.. want to hear you sing on the national TV!

[mcginnmusic]

nice job. love the zombies.

[bcwest619]

You really make amazing music. I'm not a Zombies fan, but I was really blown away by your version of this song, so powerful. Great job as always, I truely LOVE you r music.

[PainfullyMinty]

I love this song and I love you for singing it!

[MangoTreeRecords]

This is kick ass; yet again you don't fail to bring the awesome. Very well done.

[glyncharles]

would you duet with me?

[glyncharles]

lovely, really...  july1 San Francisco venue address is???

[LaurenOC12]

@glyncharles Thank you! You have to RSVP to get the address for the SF show.

[HappyAtheist76]

One word to sum up this whole video: Beautiful <3 :D

[thebaldyoldfart]

that was beautiful i'm 61.when i was a teenager i loved this song i haven't heard it for so long thank you all the best in your future

[iSeeMyScissors]

Wow, when I was cleaning my room today, I found a note from almost two years ago. It said that I should not forget to check her music out. Glad I found her again! :D

[ShaneFoxX]

marry me ?

[Scottenor]

Lauren... Please come to Hawaii!

[stuka1966]

I'm no poet. But it sounds great.

[dabeel]

Just heard From KC Turner that you'll be in SF with Danielle Ate the Sandwich. How cool is that!........look forward to your songs in person........Doug in Oakland

[MrZelrok]

Good music.

[hannahvolck]

beautiful

[jdogface]

your voice is like beauty incarnate....

[gemulon]

Your covers are always wonderful, but I'm mostly jealous of your songwriting skills.

[ShinerNL]

Just beautiful. So Lauren...when will you come over to Holland to tour ? :)

Grtz, Edwin

[pixelvale]

I love the sepia/muted colors in the video, very little distraction from listening to this beautiful song. Cafe939 is a cool venue, small and intimate. I hope you have a nice time in Boston. I wish I had known sooner, I would have come see you play!

Cheers

[Jatokae]

Absolutely beautiful. Love the Zombies. :) Keep up the great work!

[raynebowlocket]

no dc :( i'm going to be at the dc show and got SUPER EXCITED to see which shows.

[blackleatherrain]

First, I'd like to point out that I love this old piano. There's a timbre to these older instruments that cannot be matched or duplicated.

One of my favorite things about discovering great artists like yourself is that they invariably lead me to other great music. Case in point, I'd never heard of the Zombies and had never heard of this song until I listened to this beautiful cover. Any chance of more East Coast tour dates this year? huh huh huh? Maybe a Lauren show alone? :D

[a120068020]

Pure class - Thanks Lauren!

[charlottemunster]

Beautiful! I love your voice to begin with, but this is just amazing!!!

[ChrisMillerMusic11]

I don't want to be that guy, but would it be at all possible for you to record a Bruce Springsteen cover in memory of Clarence Clemons?

[LaurenOC12]

@ChrisMillerMusic11 I'm thinking about it. Might not be a song heavily featuring the Big Man, but maaayyyyyybe.

[ChrisMillerMusic11]

@LaurenOC12 That would be amazing. You would certainly make this fan happy.

[imbored200]

nice

[SKAman635]

Basically this is just badass

[BruteEngine]

Wicked mad skills! You are using the black keys!!!

[genbigs]

@LaurenOC12 Good looking? now? you've always been good looking Lauren! No doubts about it!PS. I'm still waiting form a tour date in Milano! ;-)

[RenegadeJ]

I'd definitely drive to wherever you are to jam with you!! =)

[davwms2]

Nice lamp! (And cool arrangement.)

[LaurenOC12]

@davwms2 Thank you! I've been trying to sneak items into the studio that will make it look more like the conservatory from Clue.

[bilong92]

This is wonderful. I got so excited when I saw this come up! Wow, a new Lauren O'Connell video AND a new Julia Nunes video nearly in the same week :D

[ChicCanyon87]

whats a myspace?

[spiralluv9797]

@ChicCanyon87 myspace is kinda like twitter or facebook... i think

i dont have a twitter, facebook or myspace so i might be wrong.

hope that helps

[LaurenOC12]

@ChicCanyon87 It's sort of like pita bread, but less bready.

[ChannelCassie]

I can tell you've been spending a lot of time with pomplamoose.

[Seaton6017]

@ChannelCassie Yayz.

[jimbronxny]

I love your music, your voice and your definitely a beautiful young lady

[calvingradchild2]

Lauren you makes me dream! I apologize

[SGD4ve]

Is it just me, or is that a really weird way to play the piano?

Either way, loved it :)

[StupedKid]

i can't wait to see ya in concert!

[daniellesmagic]

really, really nice! I love the intimacy of just your voice and the piano.

[moxido1965]

i like your music Lauren. Best regards from Argentina

[TheHorus6]

Julia Nunes and Lauren O'Connel Together Again ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[RuckusAmsel]

You're getting better looking. Neat.

[Seaton6017]

@RuckusAmsel Hahahaha, Seriously? Like, no really, seriously? Thats a strange backhanded compliment but a compliment nontheless, I suppose. I think she was always totally gorgeous and still is.

[RuckusAmsel]

@Seaton6017 ugh gross. I feel sick to my stomach knowing that my comment was seen in a negative light. It's completely VOID OF ANY backhanded intention. No where was there implication that she was ever less than beautiful before. She's always been sweet to look at and just keeps getting better. Can't a red blooded dude simply pay a superficial compliment?

[RuckusAmsel]

@Seaton6017 @LaurenOC12 I just got tired of stuff along the lines of ''you're great'', or ''you're amazing''. But just so you know Lauren, YOU'RE GREAT AND AMAZING with every song. I'm among those that believe you're too incredible NOT to be playing stadiums yet. Friends?

[LaurenOC12]

@RuckusAmsel Thank you. I've stopped practicing all of my instruments so that I can spend more time working on being good looking.

[Opuskrokus]

@LaurenOC12 Good! You are a girl after all. uh...

[Seaton6017]

@LaurenOC12 Hey, thats why I dropped out of college! :D We should enter pageants together.

[jrippin]

@LaurenOC12 You've always been good looking. Keep practicing your instruments. Seriously though I love your music, keep up the good work!

[vgbjason]

@LaurenOC12 I thought you were beautiful before, and you're still beautiful now :) don't listen to those people.

[ruinationmkII]

@LaurenOC12 Finally you've got your priorities straight! Quality music is a fool's dream from an era long since passed! Just pour some glitter on the floor and get rolling!! chop chop :3

PS- love your music!

[dockeryz]

@LaurenOC12 You look a lot better than Natalie IMHO.

[thenoiboi]

@LaurenOC12 though this goes against the spirit of your reply, i'd like to throw it out there that i've kind of always thought you were beautiful, on top of my being incredibly jealous or your musicianship.

[ZaJaClt]

@LaurenOC12 LOL!! Girl,you be trollin ^^

[unklewink]

@LaurenOC12 Being good looking? If I were a plastic surgeon, I would refuse your money. You are beautiful just the way you are. Not just saying that to be nice either. ;)

[Saltyember]

@LaurenOC12 well... it shows... xP

little boozamahallismusicka in these, engage project

: supreme overlord close-up music film(or don't, whatever)

[katgirl21]

Can't wait to see your show in Boston! On my birthday! Yay! :D

[xinspirit]

well done, lauren

:-)

[dankoch2010]

I love this version. It's spooky and melancholy. The way you played it creates a very interesting mood and feel. Definitely not boring. I think the person who said you didn't play the "correct" chords was missing the point. I recorded a version of "Heart and Soul" where I changed up the chords to create the same feel. Many people also told me I didn't play it correctly. I say make music for the people who get it, and don't concern yourself with those who don't. Take care.

[LaurenOC12]

@dankoch2010 Oh man, I can only imagine the shredding some people would dish out for a different interpretation of "Heart and Soul." I admire your courage, and I agree with you.

[LaurenOC12]

@dankoch2010 PS Thanks!

[Slayermachete]

@LaurenOC12 I think your music is just as beautiful as you are :)

[LandSharkX]

Is it just me or does her voice sound so much more crisp and clear in this vid? ...oh. my. GOD that's a sexy sound!!!

P.S. I don't think anyone would mind seeing some 'behind the scenes' footage or something from the album recording ; )

(fingers crossed...makes clumsy typing)

[LaurenOC12]

@LandSharkX Thank you! I used a different vocal mic on this one than I usually do. It's an EHX ribbon mic and I love it.

[Dave9494]

Lauren, you inspired me to pick up my mic again and just record, record and record. Thanks

[k1lljan]

wao, perfect played piano and voice, so beautiful

[KAYreedy]

Ah. AH. AHH! Your show is on my birthday and in my area, but I can't go due to the fact that I have a jobbb. O horrible fate! (I wish you a fantastic show regardless)

[LaurenOC12]

@KAYreedy AH! Well, legally, you can't get fired for skipping work on your birthday. Right? Right??

[KAYreedy]

@LaurenOC12 O HO HO! If that is in fact the case then I will be there!

[LaurenOC12]

@KAYreedy I would check with a lawyer first, but I'm almost positive that your employer is required to buy you cupcakes and let you come to a Lauren O'Connell show.

[KAYreedy]

@LaurenOC12 SOUNDS LEGIT. I think I may get the day off sans legal dealings, though, so hopefully I'll see you there!

[godhatesyou5150]

four people are...

insert standard insult ( fags, retards, lil' john fans).

just kidding but I still would love to follow this oh so beautiful woman till the end of the earth if she let me

[ra2or1984]

Your voice is so beautiful...

[rah01kah]

wow that's really beautiful....thanks

[headwhop26]

0:10 boobies :]

[DragonChild49]

Yes! I've been waiting for you to post new music. <3 Your voice is beautiful and you're so talented. I can't wait to hear more. I wish I could go to one of your shows.

[gravytrainproduction]

Great cover, great voice. I hope you come over and tour in New Zealand sometime. I'd love to see you play live.

[cursivenight]

this is absolutely stunning. I love it. I could listen to it over and over.

[BruteEngine]

MARRY ME!!!!!

[anonynomnomnom]

i dunno i kinda like the fact you record stuff in your house. it has that trinity sessions kinda feel, ya dig?

[ruckfeigns]

yet another cover that's a better substitute for the original XD

[TenaciousZane]

lauren........my crush on you just continues to grow

[pumkinpi2]

You are very talented, And I have enjoyed most of what I have heard of your work. That is why I was surprised by this piece. It was nice, thoughtful, and sung with feeling, but consisted of the same set of verses, repeated in the dull manner so popular with common pop music. It is just that I've come to expect more from your lyrics. Any way, thanks for posting, and I wish you the best.

[audiolegend]

@pumkinpi2 This wasn't an original piece. She was covering a song by The Zombies.

[pumkinpi2]

@audiolegend Silly me. Good to know. Count this as a retraction.

[snavidb]

You are wonderful and I can't handle the thought of both you and Danielle at the Sandwich in the same show!! Pure bliss!

[minixmoon]

Oh my god. You and Danielle together. Why do I not live in California.

[shaunpie]

<3

[WeooBeans]

Amazing.

[Staytec]

how does someone as beautiful as you create such beautiful music? not to sound like a creepy old man (because i'm only 20), but your music is just so wonderful!

[ArchersBowHaveBroken]

I'd care for you Lauren :D In the least internet-creepy way possible!

[bravenewface]

Hey Lauren.

In lieu of myspace and all of the awful that comes with it, I recommend you check out bandcamp(dot)com.

There's many of us hosting and selling our music from there and it's really user friendly for both the musician and the fans.

Cheers and thanks for posting!

[LaurenOC12]

@bravenewface I've thought about BandCamp, and it does look pretty great. I'm having a friend help me build my own website/webstore, so I'm probably just using MySpace until that's up and running.

[draoi99]

Wonderful. Some nice shots of your left boob there too, nice contours. Yeah, I've been on the internet too long. Really loved the song. Bless.

[Rotary5ive]

one of my fave songs...i love youuuuuu

[benorn]

You have till the end of July to swing into Missouri and get that bottle of coke I offered. After that you'll have to wait a whole year cause I'll be deployed.

[jackie77m]

fabulous as always! i LOVE your voice but i like your originals way more than the songs you cover.

[bigkj68]

Wow. Just wow

[sweetlikeADAM]

I like this, but I would like it more if the chord progressions were correct :b

[LaurenOC12]

@sweetlikeADAM Thanks dude, I'm glad you like it, but I'm curious-- what would a "correct" chord progression be here? Firstly, the original is almost entirely a capella, so the piano arrangement is a total concoction in the first place. Secondly, it's a cover. To like or dislike is always fair, but to declare something "correct" or "incorrect" is sort of missing the point, in my opinion.

I'd be open to a friendly discussion on this one.

[Rotary5ive]

@LaurenOC12 actually, there is a version the zombies recorded with full instrumentation, i sent the link to your inbox

[LaurenOC12]

@Rotary5ive Awesome, thanks! Checking it out.

[LaurenOC12]

@Rotary5ive Super sick. The tempo of the version on "Begin Here" always suggested a straight pop song but the production is so... not that. Cool to hear it that way.

[RebelWithAFrog]

@LaurenOC12 @sweetlikeADAM for a song with a vocal-centric aesthetic, the total concoction piano arrangement fits the melancholy mood of the song just fine. besides, feelings don’t have correct progressions anyways. that’s just the way i feel in a friendly discussion. :)

that and nice bangs...

[jpesce]

@LaurenOC12 great version, but actually there is a version that isnt a capella. check it out: /watch?v=mImpyDo2c1U

[city2O26]

Lauren, it's SOO awesome...... your voice, your singing with a light reverb...:) ^_^

You're nice!

[mybc3]

Nothing but the best ever comes from you Lauren!!! My heart leapt for joy when you said east-coast, but quickly shattered to pieces when you didn't say Tallahassee : ( #PantherGoTeam!

[genbigs]

Lauren you are still the best to me! Come playing here in Milano please!!!! P.s. Wonderful song and recording!!! ;-)

[MandieLJ]

Hey!! You're playing the back keys! Artistic growth!

[monkfish1968]

That was a truly wonderful recording, you are forever raising your game. Great to hear the positive news regarding the new album. I never wished I was American more than when you and Pomplamoose are annoumcing tour dates that I just can't get to! Don't forget the Europeans!

[joseu9]

When are you coming to East Los Angeles? I would really want to see you performe here :)

[ManofWonder82]

Just putting this out there for everyone, and Lauren to see, but I have to say this is better than the original. Seriously, blown out of the water with this one!

I had that feeling that you had posted something. It's like were connected or something but probably not....
