Blood Bank - Bon Iver Cover

[jensenleigh1]

Do Skinny love!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abovebiscuitcrumbs]

you cover all the same songs i would cover.....if i was half as good as you, that is. hah.

[JonilTionko]

wow. this cover is beautiful! The harmonies were lovely and the guitar was nice and subtle.

Might I add that your "sick" voice sounds cool! lol :P

[Tubobber]

What you do is amazing - your beautiful voice and all that emotion flowing out of you, and such a master of your guitar - wow, so sweet!!

[Pannenberg]

Kina this is my favorite of your covers. I love Bon Iver so much, but I honestly will risk the blasphemy and say I like this version better

[comebolsas]

Please teach us a picture in a bikini

[BrittonDeJong]

@comebolsas "Teach us a picture in a bikini?" d.u.m.b.a.s.s

[PaigeLovesYou88]

Please do Holocene:)

[kymmmmberly]

You're all idiots. It's meant to be like that. if you hear Bon Ivers original thats the whole beauty of the song, all the layers of harmonies.

[takattack93]

the voices are just layered aren't they? like the original version? i dunno what the fuss is about. =S

[a7xmetalhead16]

would be great except for awful job editting your voice

[barrimellon]

You are over-editing this and other songs way too much. Forget that background echoed vocals stuff.

[squaregumrocket]

do more bon iver PLEASE. the older stuff is sooo great but i'd even appreciate something new like towers or holocene. x

[comeonskinnylovex]

Made the hairs stand up on my neck.

[LeprechaunLyd]

I can't express how much I love this and you.

[ArseneWengerIsGod]

You would get it! (b/c I'm mature, that's my comment)

[royboy2108]

great cover.... well done. Can you tell, what tuning are you using and chords, as the tabs on the internet are all over the place.

[freeaswelleverbe]

you have such a beautiful voice, but i don't like your omission of the F word. the use of it in bon iver's original version is so painstakingly heartbreaking and poignant... almost poetic. however, your version is amazing all the same. love your originality and smoothness kg!

[theloudown]

Absolutely brilliant :)



[theloudown]

Absolutely brilliant :)

[ClaudB89]

i usually really dislike covers, however this is truly well done. i'm happy to have found you.

[helentheswimstar]

PLEASE KINA, DO AN AGNES OBEL COVER. ANY OF HER SONGS. THEY ARE ALL AMAZING. PLEAAAAAAASE!!!! YOU WILL MAKE MY DAY!!!

[jessbaur]

Sometimes, i wonder if artists understand the impact they have on people's lives. I just came across your music and in five minutes you've already made a huge impact on my life. Never stop singing, strumming it's people exactly like you that encourages people exactly like us to keep going, keep living. You help people in amazing ways and i really hope you know this. Thank you so much for that because now, in this moment i know that i am fine even when my world's crashing down. All the best love.

[jeromeharewood]

@jessbaur Thank you for writing that it is absolutely amazing ... :)

[kinatime]

@jessbaur can't tell you how much that means to me. thank you and i wish you the best with everything <3

[klinii]

i like this song so much without the drums - great cover kina!

[davidoff013]

Yay, you also did a cover of my favorite Bon Iver song! :)

[musiclovingprep]

This is my favorite song by Bon Iver. Kina, you made it just as beautiful! I think you two should duo together!!

[schedivy]

i sit, play black ops, smoke cigarettes, and listen to this. and at this moment in time i can ask for nothing more, mostly due to wonderful music. so thank you kina grannis for that.

[DrunkMunkeeJosh]

@schedivy lol this is so not a black ops tune haha, machete VIP, now thats a black ops tune ;)

[InArmour]

great cover! im just roaming through a lot of acoustic vids checkin out the youtube world. I just put some of my songs up ! if you get the time check them out and let me know what you think. it would mean a lot ! beautiful video

[hottoepicker]

my name is sunny, and I dont know a Matilda.

i have been coming across your videos and i have admired them

i will be buying tickets to your ny show

i have enjoyed harmonizing with you

[TheStreamsideMusic]

Vernon actually uses the F word the first time.

then the second time, he uses the lyric "im in love with your honor"

[trixiesant]

i remember when you first uploaded this video. it helped me cope a bit with a really terrible break up with my boyfriend and best friend i was going through. so, thanks you again. also, this inspired me to cover blood bank for youtube too. and when you commented on it, it made my day! haha. if anyone wants to check it out, please go on my page and go ahead:) anyways, i've written a novel. goodnight:)

[kaseyvdb]

you have an unreal voice i wish you wouldnt edit the hell out of it

[NazimUddin15]

@kaseyvdb She just adds more layers of her voice onto the original because she doesnt have any back-up singers =)

[TheKimmynator]

@kaseyvdb hmmz i dont mind the edits >> i think they add a nice feel to it

[justinhertzmusic]

Love this song, love when you cover it. Come back to Madison, WI soon please. K? Thanks :-)

[fangsc]

Dress

[greatalex12345]

You know it's good girl.. but if your gonna use that much reverb on the vocals don't use it on every layer it's like your singing in my shower. come to think of it keep up the good work

[The8oh8]

PLEASE DO Re: Stacks!

[mourge101]

@The8oh8 I would have a heart attack if she did...

[BalletDancerrr]

When I play this song, I also don't like to use the profanity so I just say "It messes with your honor, and it teases your head"

This cover is beautiful! Very well done :)

[ibgkeeper692]

an amazing cover, congrats are in order!

[mariejyssicamegan]

so, so, so lovely :) maybe my favorite cover of yours

-jyssikinerd

[kingofska108]

defintley my favorite cover from kina

[cbruce91]

beautiful voice:) its lovely to hear a female sing it for a change!!

[cbruce91]

beautiful voice! its nice to here a female sing it!

[keezyybaby]

wow, you are absolutely amazing. i adore all of your covers; you can tell each of the songs, obviously, but also that they each have your personal touch to it. love it!

[LoJebesh]

Kina, this is one of my favourite songs and I'm always sceptic about covers, but you did the most wonderful job and gave me the chills so bad <3

[murmurrrr]

I actually came across Bon Iver though this cover of you, now he is one of my favorite artists of all time and I listen to him 24/7, give his Album to all my friends on their B-day to spread his awesome music. All thanks to you :]

[cakes37]

I....love?...you.

.

.

yea

[bangerr04]

beautiful voice mannn

[captainbadd]

Great job.

[chibacca]

Kina, even without the layers you said you wanted to add, this sounds perfect. Quite chilling. Honestly, this song won me over, and now I'm addicted to all of your other songs too. You have a remarkable voice.

[ZmoneyProducts]

i'm not going to lie. this made me wanna cry.

[crackitysmack]

i reallly REALLY want to be able to play this song... kina, is there anyway you could tell me what the strum pattern is and the chords? i just started playing guitar but what ive found online doesnt seem to sound right. =[

[MelodiesEnchanted]

@crackitysmack i really wanted to play it too, so i looked it up on ultimate guitar and i found one version. i don't think i can post the website so if you go to ultimateguitar (dot) com and search blood bank, click on version 2 and that should help you. (: be sure to tune your guitar to the correct tuning and to use the chords that are there. for the strumming i do: down, down, up, up, down. hope that helps!! (:

[crackitysmack]

@MelodiesEnchanted thank you!!! haha i actually figured it out by the time i got this, but thanks anyway! i love this song =]

[musicaaa26]

Okay okay okay okay okay...

I loooooooooooove your voice, you're Awesome!

I made a cover of it too, but no link with yours :p I admit it haha

[flysnare]

awesome as can be ...

[sicilysky]

Amazing- i would buy this.

[alexvoegele]

this is a really great recording, kina. I would rather hear you play without all of the effects though. unplugged, I'm sure you sound even more amazing.

[eutixismenimazi]

those 70 people who disliked this video needs to go to an ear doctor .. Seriously Your amazing BTW !

[JLActeRixJL]

your interpretation is great really great.

[303username]

i love the way the beat sounds kinda like a heart.

[AJDaughterofGod]

I like your version better than Bon Iver!!!!!! you did great girl! :)

[maddieeeeeeeeeeee]

you cover all my favourite songs!

i absolutely love youuuu!!!!

xxxxxxx

[FluffyKris]

You never cease to stun me.

[savannamilbee]

i have watched this, well, probably around 12 times in the past two days.

it's so very soothing.

[Astrobasego91]

second a hobo. very inspirational artist... you have an amazing voice, and you perform beautifully. never ever ever stop what you are doing.

[musiclovewishes]

Simply beautiful...I could listen to you all day. Nearly every one of your covers is a personal favourite of mine, and I love your original music (plus your duet with Tyler Hilton made my day). Thanks :)

[bubber1977]

Love your creativity!

[mindbywonder]

Could you do Wolves part 1 & 2.... :) It's another great song by him! Please?. It'd be great...

[kahnt]

nice cabinet at the back. looks old but sturdy.

[Tswiftlove55]

beautiful :)

[jaxel10]

It would be awesome if you made a CD of your cover songs! I would defiantly buy it!

[leigha10405]

This is amazing song.......

[SebringGirl]

wow. Holy shat. You are one TALENTED young lady. I am impressed!!!

[Samuraikaoboi]

キナちゃんへ：愛してます。結婚してください。

[LMBKBEEN]

you are unbelievably talented

[malachijung]

i love this, very well done. You have a very talented voice.

[MelonieQuaQua]

Bon Iver is my favorite. I never thought anyone could cover one of the band's songs and do a good job. I am so impressed with this though. The harmonies are beautiful.

[phospholipasec]

Hey Kina,

Can you do Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer"?

Thanks, love ya.

[myownremote]

=] great One

[blakbobspacepirate13]

lovely david archuletta? eh.... he ruined the high school i go to....

it's a fantastic cover though.

you and your voice are beautiful.

[TheSecretflies]

Why'd he ruin the high school you went too?

[melialou]

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

one of my favorites of Bon Iver.

this is really amazing.

i wish i had your voice. (:

[blakbobspacepirate13]

amelia! you have a nice voice. (: i love you.

[melialou]

@blakbobspacepirate13 thank you maxwell(:

[CobsDocs]

Kina, very impressive, as always, never disappointing, smiles, Ron in Haliburton Canada

[TurnAnAce]

You are so good it's incredible!

[alexandersupertrampb]

so lovely.

[Toddstheman]

i <3 KG

love,

mysterio

[leapofmoo]

hey kina! i was just catching up on your videos (college applications took over my life temporarily), i love bon ivor (skinny love?) and your cover!

I was wondering if you knew if the person that got proposed to said yes???

[cutulutu]

how can u kiss while having a candy bar in your mouth??? hmm!!!

[ruairihair]

Bon Iver has skillzzz, thats how =P

[cutulutu]

wow, have to learn this..must be a good move with the ladies..it should say ..kids don't try this with your girl..."only for pros" :)

[kwkuik]

Wouw it sounds amazing!

I must admit you have a briljant taste for music. Not only Bon Iver but i saw Simon and Garfunkel, The Fray, John Mayer, the Beatles Iron And Wine, and much more! if you sing it looks so freakin' easy!

Keep on going! i i hope to hear more of your covers and own music!

grtz koen

[sullycake]

Do a cover of "us" by Regina Spektor. Tis my faves.

[fallenshocker]

I owe you another thanks Kina for turning me onto Bon Iver. Between listening to all your songs and now Bon Iver's I'm not getting much done, which is a good thing. Amazing cover as usual, always love the emotion you put into your work.

[gazelle88]

you ruined this song

[decade03]

yes, she did

[kmunmun]

serious goose bumps from watching this video, you do him so much justice

[rowin09]

your awesome. ..its not really my type of music but i recognize talent when i see it

[AylaKayBug]

Amazing

[ahobonameddave]

Everytime I watch one of your videos it makes me want to pick up my guitar. Thanks for the inspiration, you have a beautiful gift with music

[Jerbearpavich1]

I just fallen in love with her!!!

[wildwillows456]

good job! you are soo lucky your pretty, you can sing, play gutair, and you have cute clothes! YOUR GREAT!

[VICTORIANO50]

Eres espectacular -GRACIAS-

[Killcupidsaaki17]

I love this! Lol, I've been watching your vids for a while now, and every time I think of a song I might want to cover, you've like done it! I also find it amusing we both go by Kina and play guitar with such similar tastes in music! XD

[jottysmith]

i love bon iver and to be totally honest... you beat him. your cover is just beautiful.. <3

[Greggory111]

I absolutely love this

[consolationprizes1]

oh my gosh, I love bon iver and I can't belive you did a cover of their music.  it's the best cover of that song i've heard.

[mbot565]

@consolationprizes1: Kina also covered Flume a year ago, I think you'll like that too.

[MaiaX3]

DID YOU SAY DANIEL BEDDINGFIELD?

[sleeperspy1]

ur gorgeous =)

[hmyersmusic]

She said "I'm in love with your honor" probably because she didn't want to say the word "fuck". So chill out, if you know the song so well, do it yourself. Kina, you did a wonderful job. (:

[Octavarium99]

@hmyersmusic Well said, but I think Justin using that word is the most poignant part of the song. I think it does take away from the song if it's omitted...

[eLiLLy815]

BEAUTIFUL!

You and your music !

[mariboe]

I loooooooooooove this cover!! Can you play Ingrid Michaelson's The Way I Am?! Thanks! :)

Hugs from Norway!

[PCephR]

I love this song too!!

[souledout20]

wow.. perfect =)

[r0sah11]

this is amazing, its so hard to capture bon iver's beauty and you pretty much managed it! good work

check out my pieces if you have time, would love to hear what you think

xx

[LennyJay16]

Please cover Skinny Love by Bon Iver! You have an amazing voice. :)

[TheAutomaticfish]

I love this! So amazing. Better than Bon Iver's! ...Almost. ;)

[popeums]

oh! or even better for the holidays "winter song"- Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson

I think it would suit you very well

[popeums]

You should cover "For Emma" - Bon Iver

[jesskaps]

yes, after listening to Bon Iver's original several times... I keep coming back to yours, Kina. it seems so much more meaningful to me when you sing it.

[tonymontana122333]

are you insane? bon iver is the best music out there right now,

plus she doesnt even sing the right words

it fucks with your honor!

[Vikkilewis]

Just because she gets some words muddled up doesn't mean it's a crap cover. Some may say it adds character to it...

[tonymontana122333]

he says it fucks with you honor the first time, not im in love with your honor, it changes the whole meaning of the song,

what she is most insecure about is what he loves.

[nicoolfearon]

calm down

[jay11111111100]

love this song, love ur cover just as much, you deserve to go somewhere

[SkankingJesus]

Where can i get a download of your cover of this song!?!?! I needs it!!!!! I might die! its beautiful! Bon Iver is love and you do this cover wonderfully.

[TroyAndThenSome]

bon ivers my life <3

you rock this song

"that secret that you know....."

[KradricxMEM]

when you use the guitar for percussion.. DAMNNN!

[sheplaysmusic]

this is so beautiful...my eyes are watering.

[sullycake]

It changes the meaning of the song when you changed "it fucks with your honor" to "i'm in love with your honor"! it changes the whole meaning and purpose of the song. tis makes me sad, but you have the loveliest voice since I can remember lovely lady :).

[davemband91]

Great song...found this song by Bon Iver about a year, so awesome KG did a cover of it:-D

Would be awesome if she did maybe a Joe Purdy or Ray Lamontagne cover.....or Amos Lee KG's voice would sound so great to there lyrics!

[Aubwee]

i love this.

omg.

you are beautiful and your voice is so pretty and i love bon iver aaannddd AAH this just rulezzzz <3 <3

[koolkiddd]

I like how you sang the "It f***s with your honor. It teases your heard" and just replaced it with "I'm in love with your honor."

[jussan6]

kinna you sing so lovely right in to the heart , you are the best

please come to sweden :)

[Jo0w]

Nice! I love Bon Iver, but your voice gives a whole other feel to the song.

Also, i love your dress, it's awesome.

[SteffanyMo]

kina♥

one of my ultimate favourites of yours, so incredible, see u in toronto!!

[Remedyz21]

Bon Iver = the soul of Northern Wisconsin.

You did well to cover this song. Amazing!

[scissortastic]

love

[Delicate93]

You are amazing, I love you.

[GeoStar13]

Good Cover :o)

Cheers

Geo

[quickattack]

Your videos are addicting, Kina. I can't stop at one.

Anyway, your "yucky" is so adorable. =) I like your sick voice.

- albert - crAziemutant - crazieLAmonster -

[TheMoffatron]

Holy shit I love you.

[homocore]

Hi kina! It sounds like your vocal folds were enflamed. It happens sometimes with weather changes, etc. A good homeopathic remedy that should help is if you pour some salt into a pot of water and bring it to a boil, and then stand over it with a towel over your head and just inhale the steam. Do that daily and you should be better in no time.

I mean, you're obviously fine now, since you were able to post a new video, but I wanted to leave that suggestion in case it happens again. :)

[groovie621]

Please marry me.

[katherine1331]

you're sooo beautiful, and your voice is nicer than anyone i know.

ps i love your hair. i might have to grow mine out now lol.

[Jiyin92]

try honey and water kina! <3

[goodwilltx]

i havent read through ALL the comments to see if it had been mentioned, but isn't it: "and it fucks with your honor'?

[Daddysgoog]

yeap, but she probably switched for youtube reasons .

[goodwilltx]

thanks.  i wasn't certain.

[Daddysgoog]

no probleem (:

[ghyt21]

kina seriously needs to be on the radio more. i think i would show up to work happier.

[CassiePretty09]

But I love that she's low-key and stays on youtube and has mini tours. Can you imagine if she suddenly became "too famous" by going on the radio and such? She wouldn't have time to go make youtube videos for us and there would be no meet and greets =(

[dannyoslo]

beautiful song ^^ and really diggin the background. what strings are you asking if i may ask?

[thawedge]

this is beautiful as always, kina! hope to see another video from you soon

xx

[megzlegzx]

i love this too much :)

[loconana93]

My respects Miss you sung wonderfully definitely with angel's way thank you kisses

[loconana93]

Mes respects mademoiselle vous chanté merveilleusement bien avec en plus une voie d'ange merci et bravo .

[CuttingEdge78]

I remember when Natasha was Daniel's sister.

[kateyotcha]

youre so beautiful, you amazing talented person!x

[Zinasoul]

Wow! You have such a beautiful voice!))

[kamikazesquad1234]

I dont play the guitar.

nice job!
