  • I just realized that this song was uploaded the day before my birthday ♥

    Was this secretly a gift to me? :'D

  • You sing soo good. I heard about u from my best friend. She said"there's a girl on stardoll(you know the website) and she has a YouTube account called katethegreat19. she's really good so you should look her up" so I did and here I am.

  • Angelic...Stunning....Beautifu­l

  • For me it's rare to listen to a song that brings me to tears (In a good way). I enjoyed listening to this song. Thank you for this, cheers!

  • You make a man want to pay child support.

  • I can just imagine myself sitting in the medieval times watching you perform this. Not sure why, but it's a soothing thought.

    Life is too difficult nowadays. We need to be simpler.

  • Absolutely perfect. So reminiscent of Grave of the Fireflies. I've gotten the sheet music and I'm learning it right now. <3

  • This is beautiful, it reminds me of my grandmother so much. :') Thank you, this made me really happy

  • i LOVE your videos and i LOVE your songs; I WANT YOU TO BECOME SUPER FAMOUS AND SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • there's something special about your voice! its like your taking us all to the medieval age. it's beutiful :')

  • wow. i am speechless.... so beautiful.... i miss my daddy.

  • thats  nice how u did it for ur mom

  • Absolutely wonderful job Kate; I am a big fan of yours and hope to puchase your CD soon. As far as the vocals are concerned, I think they turned out great; they capture the feel of the song perfectly in my opinion. One of my favorites for sure. Keep it up!

  • This version is so pure and powerful.And sad, now i need to hug my mom .

  • @SuperDesdemona ...and do it frequently; you make many friends throughout your life--but, you only have one mother.

  • This song brought tears to my eyes. I've never actually heard words sung to the melody, so it was a brilliant surprise.

  • something about this just makes me happy :)

  • home is where the heart is. nice work kate :)

  • You've made me cry. Are you happy now? Gosh, I'm so homesick.

  • so sweet...

  • i cant find itsumo nando demo on here anymore. and it also got cleared off of my ipod, i cant find it anywhere now D:

  • @inuyasharulez1 you can find it still on my erutanmusic website, I host all of my songs there for download ^^ There are also a few unreleased tracks there as well as another track that youtube made me remove (Gently as She Goes) On my website go to "The Songs" and then to "covers" :)

  • @katethegreat19 does this mean I won't be allowed to use Gently as She Goes for the audio on a video I'm going to make?? :'(

  • @KawaiiStrawberryPro No, it's probably okay O.O; I'm watched like a hawk because I've gotten prior strikes from youtube for uploading my cover songs, and also because of my channel's moderate size. But I don't think they watch everyone that closely ^^;;;

  • @katethegreat19 Oh okay that's good!~

  • Once again a wonderful performance Kate, it has just as much emotion put in to it as your songs usually do, it's a very calm and mellow song, not something found often anymore, and something there needs to be more of. Thanks for doing your part to keep music good.

  • This is beautiful Kate. After hearing this i started crying.

  • Thank you so much! This makes me think of my childhood. My parents are moving to another state and it will be the very first time I spend the holidays without them close by. Even though I am married, have kids of my own, a home of my own. This song reminds of my first true home with my parents. There were sometimes tears, sometimes anger, but most of it was filled with laughter. Thank you for reminding me of that.

  • Sir Henry Bishop was a good melody writer... I will always remember this melody along side the Japanese lyrics in Grave of the Fireflys!

  • Really beautifully sung! ^_^ <3

  • You did it perfectly... Sometimes simplicity is what's needed. Music is a bit like writing a book that way- When you can't add a note or take one away without everything falling apart, you know it's been done right. This? It was done right.

    Also, one person is obviously deaf.

  • dont be so critical of ur work its still amazing

  • You should go on one of those reality singing tv competitions and kick butt

  • I think the beautiful and sweet message is lost in the simplicity and generic overuse of the song itself, but you've done a good job, reminding us that with a little dusting off and some creativity, something we heard a million times before suddenly comes to mean something so much more sincere and pure.

    Thank you for the reminder, Kate. :)

  • I'm now positive this woman's goal is to make me cry. XD

    You have a voice of extraordinary beauty. Your mother is so blessed to have such a wonderful daughter!

  • Beautiful. I love that it is a simple piece, especially because of its main subject. You don't need a lot of fluff for such a self-explanatory concept. A "need I say more?" sort of thinking ^^ Great work as always!

  • What an awesome videooo!!!!! *0* I don't know how i didn't see it befooooore!!!! Thanks for this beautiful song Kate :D

  • aw, I wanna go home. thanks kate, it was a wonderful piece

  • i comment almost never but felt i should say your work is very impressive. Keep it up.

  • Here I am again!

  • how could someone dislike this

  • Grave of the Fireflies= Sad but beautiful film. This= Just beautiful :)

  • Goosebumps! Your voice is so beautiful. :]

  • So lovely! The style reminds me a lot of the traditional songs and hymns that Aled Jones often sings. Because of it's simplicity, it leans heavily on the abilities of the instrumentalist(s) and singer. And, well... I have yet to hear you disappoint!

  • It's always a pleasure to hear a song sung by you. It's so refreshing to hear a new song up with your voice.

  • Yay! NEW SONG! Absolutely beautiful as always. ^_^

  • kate??

    can you again cover "Istumo Nando Demo"?? pleas...i love the song from you!:))

  • oh, don't feel bad about how this turned out to be.. :)) it still is very enjoyable to listen to. its a wonder that most simple melodies give the warmest thoughts and lullabies to its listeners. and the pictures that you chose match the song as well! xD antique stuff can make anyone feel so homy~

  • Absolutely stunning.

  • i'm sure this is super redundant, but i love this as always! this is particularly relevant in my life right now since i recently left home for the first time to come to college... it's all so new and i think of home often! thanks for giving me something beautiful to listen to when i feel homesick! <3

  • Wow i cant find words.. You are just to amazing!!

  • amazing ! :) 

  • Kate can you cover somewhere over the rainbow?

    I'm so comforted listening to this right now, as the song means exactly that.

    I just got home from a 8 hour bus ride, and I am glad to be home. <3

    Listening to this song is just like the icing on a cake ^_^

  • So beautiful...I was moved so much that I felt like a five year old girl again waiting for mommy to get home from work. This was a masterpiece of true love. You did a wonderful job hon. And I'm grateful to of be able to hear it and that you provide us with a piece of your heart and soul.

  • It's very beautiful, I have never hear this song before but I like your version of the song

  • Didn't know the song before because I haven't seen "Grave of the Fireflies" yet. Nicely done Kate but hard to believe that it should be so difficult. It seems that you had no problems at all to sing it.

    Keep on going :-)

  • perfect!
