I Love this song and i heard it the first time from your video on the CI site...i thought it was so amazing...really good...in my opinion, you didn't get the call because you are WAY too god for CI! =] A-m-a-z-i-n-g! Keep up th great work!
Me too, I find myself singing this song all the time. You are incredible and I watched CI just to see you as I was so sure you would be at the top! What a loss for ci. i have a hard time to watch it now when I see that talent that they picked over you. ticks me off! Please stay with it, you have an amazing talent!!!
yay!!! I have missed your lovely voice so much! I still play your cover of Fire Door all the time. This is a beautiful song...you are an amazing vocalist as well as songwriter!
i actually consider myself an above average vocalist...... that is until i heard your ci audition, i then knew why i didnt get the call but you should have, you are an unbelievable talent opal.
You are amazingly unique. I find myself constantly coming back to relisten to your song. Great lyrics as well. You really are the whole package, and if Canadian Idol doesn't snatch you up quick, then I honestly don't know what they're looking for.
well when I heard you didn't make it I wasn't surprised I didn't make it...If you can't get through then I am not sure who can!!!!! check out my vid if you like :)
My friends and I listened to your song over and over again. That's not even my type of music. My sister is trying out for Canadian Idol too.
Anyways, your song is beautifully painted, such a beautiful metaphor. It brings tears to the eyes. You sound like an angel. You know the true meaning of music. We see your passion for it. It's heartwarming. I think that if you do not make it to Canadian Idol, someone is very much missing out on a pearl.
Incredible; amazing talent and a true idol! I hope you grace us with your voice again. If you record or have recorded, please let us know where we can get a cd; I will definitely be first in line.
Hey I just saw this on the website for Canadian Idol. I said it there and will again here.. this gave me chills. You're a rare find in that you can actually sing. Your voice is pure and feeling radiates from each word sung. I hope you make it, all the best to you. Either way, I'll look for your CD.
It's a great song, beautifully performed (nice guitar playing!). But your lyrics say "comfort" in the first stanza, while you sing "kindness." Which one do you prefer?
You're completely right! I remember writing it with comfort, but then everytime I sing it the word "kindness" automatically comes out. I can't help it. I'll edit my lyrics to reflect that. Sometimes songs have a life of their own and I have to honor that.
This is a beautiful, powerful, and touching song. Thanks for including the lyrics.
You are an amazing song writer who adds layers of meaning to her songs, yet the songs are simple and refreshing and unique. The lyrics are light as air, but dig deeper too.
You look so stunning in this clip... sexy and cute and pretty all at the same time.
And your voice and nuances are your own... so Opal... gorgeous.
nice song

People like you should be famous, not fags like Justin Beiber with no talent. I hope to see you in the media. You'll be discovered.
