Looking for Alaska - Cover by Hank Green

Strawberry hill :(

[ItsTheDrivewayBaby]

This was such an amazing book, and so is the song. It left me speechless and with tears in my eyes. It's hard for me to explain how I feel about it.. it was so.. pure. Enlightening. I feel different.

[DUBSTEPnHOUSE]

Im pretty sure John Green wrote the book

[xmikywayx]

@DUBSTEPnHOUSE You are correct, good sir

[Daphuhnuh]

God, I don't know why this story makes me so fucking emotional, but it does. I read this book twice and cried each time. And now this song.

Gotta love John and Hank.

[xxxmrstaylorlautnerx]

I cried at the book and this just made me cry even more. Beautiful.

[HariSlate]

Just... it's a beautiful song to accompany a beautiful book. That is the only way of putting it.

<3... lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelo­velovelovelovelovelovelovelove­lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelo­velovelovelove!!!!!!!

[mrloulou97]

But see, when I hear something as good and pure as this is, it makes me think. And I think that for as good as a book can be, no matter how funny or well written, it is less important than what it inspires. I believe a book cannot be very good if it doesn't inspire others and change them, even if it's in the tiniest measure. This book, one of my all time favorites, is only so good as what it brings into the world through others, weither it's a beautiful song like this or paintings or ideas

[HariSlate]

@mrloulou97 Thank you so much. I have been trying to put that into words for so long (since I read Paper Towns), and you have managed to master the combination of words that I have never been capable of mustering.

[mrloulou97]

@HariSlate Thanks :D It's good to know my words do some good, especially since I want to be a writer :)

[mrloulou97]

ASDFGHJKL WHY SO AMAZING, JOHN

[mark4851]

Fucking wow

[rainabraina]

Thanks! I was looking for the lyrics and I found them! It's one of my favorite songs.

[TheHyperTheory]

BEST FREAKING SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheEvetscipELP]

I wish there was a karaoke/instrumental version of this, I really want to cover it, but I can't play the guitar :(

[xmikywayx]

@TheEvetscipELP I could try and make one. :)

[TheEvetscipELP]

@xmikywayx Nah it's cool, I've found one better, my best friend's girlfriend knows the ukulele, so we can cover it and give it the Molly Lewis treatment :P

[HariSlate]

@TheEvetscipELP Or the Charlie McDonnell treatment...

[rockyrigby]

;_;

[SMSVideoWarehouse]

@rockyrigby I know how you feel.

[RPHSNerdyfun311]

I want this to be played at my funeral..

[Monkeysonfireonpluto]

I wish this was on itunes :(

[xmikywayx]

@Monkeysonfireonpluto Buying the whole album is worth it. :)

[VGMaster17]

Even though we were never told that miles could sing or play that guitar, I can totally picture him playing / singing this down at the smoking hole.

[xSobhan]

there is no instrumental bridge in this version

[myworldPWNs]

you knwo, this song makes much more sense when you read the book....

[justsarax]

@theshootingcupcake Aw, well, at least it's worth the wait! I read it the first time when I was eleven, but I didn't completely grasp it until I read it again a few years later.

[MoonFIame]

I cry ever time I listen to this song.

@xmikywayx for the description, you could put gb minor instead of f#. It's technically the same thing. ^^

Thanks for uploading!

[xmikywayx]

@IvianaTheSignPainter Haha thanks, but I just copied and pasted the chords directly from Liane's blog, which is linked below it. :)

[starrynight472]

I should have learned that if you listen to the same song over and over again and you tear up, you’ll eventually start crying the next hundredth time.

[weheartcrayons]

I love this song and i love this book!!

[xmikywayx]

@TheShootingCupcake That's a shame! I read it when I was 12, I think... It's an excellent book, so it's worth the wait. Be patient. :)

[rawrrar3]

@TheShootingCupcake i read it when i was 12. i is really inappropriate..... but i dont regret reading it. Alaska changed my life. im really sorry you cant read it.

[starrynight472]

@TheShootingCupcake Don't worry, I'm 14, I read it maybe... 5 months ago? It's not THAT bad...

[MoonFIame]

@TheShootingCupcake When you do read it, you will love it! I couldn't put it down!

[rdadancer11]

@TheShootingCupcake That stinks! I'm 13 and I read it. Its a little innapropriate, but if you take it in a mature way it's not that bad. But if you have to wait, believe me it's worth it!

[Hannahoot]

@TheShootingCupcake I read it when I was 13. If you're an average 13 year old who knows about sexual relations and are mature enough to handle it being brought up every so often (and also swearing) you should be fine.

[TheShootingCupcake]

@Hannahoot yeah she let me read it after i asked again. its aweosme. i read it like a month ago x)

[TheGarrettsee]

@TheShootingCupcake ............ read it anyway

[AlphabetSpagetty]

"Yes this is the rest of the video" Just made me L-O-L.

Beautiful song for a beautiful book <3

[oneorangespider]

i think Hank and Liane should sing a duet.

[iluveplkw3]

Chordss???

[Commacine]

Heh, I played this on my radio station just now.

[XkittykatkidX]

anybody know the chords for this, or where i can find them? :)

[cloebaby97]

I just realized how epic your username is. :D

I loves the song :D

[holybobstaff123]

This was so awesome, I ejaculated a little.

[Tardis910]

They better use this song in the movie. It's that great.

[MusicMeg2012]

This should totally be movie too

[TheDoorsRule]

Theyre making one

[MusicMeg2012]

@TheDoorsRule really??? who's they??? when's it coming out??? =)

[JayeNelson]

@MusicMeg2012 Paramount Pictures bought the rights in 2005 and it's expected to come out in 2010 but it's still in production.

[MusicMeg2012]

French the Llama that's great! Can't wait to see it =)

[cloebaby97]

They've moved it back a bit....it said between now and 2013.

[TheDoorsRule]

The people who made Juno..

Johns wriitng the script

[LetTheDreamBegin]

@TheDoorsRule No, John's writing the screen play for Paper Towns. He has absolutely nothing to do with the Looking for Alaska movie.

[TisPatar]

such a great song. and a great book. ahhh

[nomielpenguino]

French the llama! This song is parfait!!

[muggle394]

AAAH! this is SOO good! I love it when Liane sings it, but Hank does such a good job at this! *listens to it again*

[WolfWatcher23]

I wish they would make this movie, it was an amazing book.

[Rivvets]

They are. The title was change to Famous Last words, though.

[xogaaraxo]

It makes more sense when sung by a boy, but I like the original a little better XD

Both are amazing though!

[iminslytherin]

[WolfWatcher23]
