[mroutdoorsy]

i wish that too

[krabbers]

still lovely

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you so much Krabbers! That means a lot coming from you. This is one of my favourite songs ever.

[kavadale]

your cover is the best, thx

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you so much! It's a wonderful song, and I really enjoyed covering it. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[tux325]

what type of strings do you use on your koaloha and would you happen to have tabs for your solo in the begining?

[fourteentwelve]

I use the standard Koaloha strings that came with it - they're almost exactly the same as Worth Clear strings though, so you can get the same sound with them.

I don't have any tab for the solo at the beginning - I just played whatever felt right at the time. I can tab it out and send it to you though if you're interested?

[puppydood]

This is a great song, I haven't heard the original yet so I'm off to the link to listen now. Are you using a particular picking pattern?

[fourteentwelve]

Thanks for your comment! It's a lovely song. I hope you like the original. I wasn't using a particular picking pattern - I think it was a bit different every time I played it, and the pattern was a bit different depending on what chord I played. It was really just what felt right at the time.

[2ruby202]

I have been quite obsessed with song too. You have done a great intrepretation of it :)

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much! I loved your interpretation of it too!

[UnluckyMum]

Im so behind with watching stuff, sorry ! Anyway, love this version- the picking is fabulous :)

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. And I know the feeling about being behind watching stuff... I always seem to be at least three days behind, and it's so hard to catch up! Thanks for watching!

[koukikstone]

very nice! この歌を聴いていると、とても穏やかな気持ちになれます。　It's a wonderful song.

Thank you so much Shas! I'm really glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

[UKISOCIETY]

Such a great interpretation on the uke! And your voice conveys such emotion, Michelle! 5*

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much Alan. I loved your version of it too!  It's an easy song to sing with emotion - it's such a wonderful song.

[monsterbazz]

And again a very emotional and wonderful version of a great song (and from a fellow ukulelelist :-) ). The emotional energy you put into your videos is truly fantastic and touches me every time! Glad I found your YouTube channel, Michelle.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you Sebi for such a lovely comment. You always say the nicest things, and I appreciate your comments so much!

[phillipsderek]

Very nice! The instrumental outro was a nice touch and the Koaloha sounds great!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you Derek. I was playing around with an instrumental version to begin with so I could get the tune right, so then I thought I'd put a bit of that at the beginning and end. I'm glad you liked it. And yes, I love my Koaloha!

[LStrachey]

great job on an impressive song!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much Michael. Great seeing you again the other night too.

[mugambismonkey]

Lovely! I also can't get this song out of my head. I keep a printout of the lyrics under my computer keyboard and play it several times a day.... :-) Very nice picking!

[fourteentwelve]

That's exactly how I felt.... couldn't get it out of my head (not that I wanted to!) I'd love to hear your cover of it! I'm sure you'd do it really beautifully.

[MisanthropeJackalope]

Oh wow, beautifully covered. I love your take on the strumming/picking. Great job-- five stars =)

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much! It's such a beautiful song.

How did your move to NZ go?

[Sheepstar15]

Aww this is great. Sounds so heartfelt. Another fab video :)

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much Anna.  It was definitely heartfelt. I think it's one of those songs that everyone can relate to in some way.

[keonepax]

Love, love, love this song, and you played it so beautifully!!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you John! I love this song too. It kept going round and round in my head, so I just had to cover it.

[irvingjohn]

Amazing picking. Great cover!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you so much John! I loved your cover of it too. It's such a beautiful song, isn't it? I love your comment of best song ever written. It's definitely one of my all-time favourites now.

[mjs004]

This is so heartfelt! It really shows that you have internalized this song! This is so Beautiful Michelle!

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you very much Michael! Yes, I definitely internalised this song. It's such a beautiful song, and definitely the cover that I have most enjoyed doing.

[fourteentwelve]

Thank you so much Krabbers! It's such an amazingly beautiful song I felt very nervous covering it. But I haven't been able to get it out of my head since I first heard it. I'm really glad you liked it. You are an amazing songwriter, and I feel privileged to have been lucky enough to hear and enjoy your songs and be able to cover one.

(By the way, for some reason your comment came through on my page as spam - I don't know what YouTube is thinking sometimes).
