[ImaginePeace1111]

Does anyone know what chords she is using in this song?

[happyhippos4449grrl]

I <3 her songs but they all sound very similar :/

[badsalad313]

Holy schnikies, how does she strum? She's so AWESOME xD

[funnyboneTEEHEE]

That's really kimya dawson?

[moonbeam885]

Her songs always make me smile and nod my head :)

[CelloPlaya08]

lol Alicia Keys

[sunrise351]

How can you dislike this?

[AsylumAttendee]

I am so glad she is going on tour this year :)

[GorillazBeatles]

@AsylumAttendee She is? Yes! Colorado, Kimya!

[AsylumAttendee]

@GorillazBeatles She isn't coming to Colorado this year :'( But I will see her dammit. I must...

[GorillazBeatles]

@AsylumAttendee I really want to see her, and my friend won't see a concert till she comes to Colorado.

[MarkwithaQ]

@Hankyhonkytonk lulz

[michelesoars]

Kimya, you're a rock star -- you speak to my soul : )!

[mandiiiedancerxo]

the things i would do to meet this woman

[Diux626]

OmG :D

you're awesome n__n

thanks for making this a great & happy day

[YogiRAWR]

I want Kimya to adopt me

[Loogie130]

WHY ARE THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS LAUGHING?! D:<

[MeetTheCryptid]

@Loogie130 'Cause some of the lyrics are pretty funny XD

[xX2301Xx]

whats up with ur strumming??

[MissBeachBabe55]

@xX2301Xx It seems to be her way of doing it. I've never seen it either. But that's how she plays guitar, and I guess it works..... I got my boyfriend to check it our (he's a guitarist) and he was like "that's weird." but hey. it floats her boat- and makes the songs that extra bit special : )

[whatthechump]

@xX2301Xx let her be herself.. we all strum differently ;)

[Emmasosha]

I'd rather go with friends then go alone.

[chickennugget25]

Ugh shes so fuckin fantastic! I cant get over it!

[misslaverton]

i'd die to see kimya live. she's so refreshingly unfake and i love the way her lyrics are...they're like wonderful little daydreams

[whatthechump]

@misslaverton you speak the TRUTH.

[skittlesvamp16]

she's amazing.

[HRGROCK]

what did she say in the begining about aliecia keys? (sry if i mispelled i dont listen to any song by her)

[ninjarock765]

@HRGROCK

she believes that someone airbrushes honey on alicia keys' vocal chords...and something involving that. X3

[PR0peace]

*hearts*

[joshwa12341]

thanks for uploading, ctscase, amazing vids.

[brandyface]

So hankhonkytonk, I'm guessing you like country music, beer, tractors, cheap lawn chairs, getting fat, living in a trailer in the middle of nowhere, mudding, making out with your sister, and old crusty sluts? Funny.

[Loogie130]

I like listening to her songs when I'm high

[intheemaking]

she is beyond words.

[fun3kid]

i like her hair

[tiki2188]

Fuck pretentiousness and just enjoy the simple things.

Shame so many people hate this because its weird or different sounding...this stuff is true

[gvilleskate34]

I wonder if when she closes her eyes when she's singing she thinks of the movie she made up in her head when she wrote songs like these and sings from what she sees in the movie? thatd be cool

[effik3]

jesus christ this is beautiful stuff

[CaitlinNicoleMusic]

whoa look at her hand it looks like its having a muscle spasm thats how fast she is :O

[FicklishxXxTicklish]

She's beautiful.

And the way she says "Crystal light" kinda made my day =J

[bille77]

TE - RI - BLE

[54TreeHugger]

@ctscase

um, no?

She says it at the end of the song.

x]

[ctscase]

@54TreeHugger Hahaha, silly me. I hadn't watched the video in ages and ages.

[KalvinSmart]

1 person cares about being cool

[54TreeHugger]

Cha cha cha <3

:DD

[ctscase]

@54TreeHugger Is this a reference to "Rainbows?" If so, really??

[glamgurl100]

I wonder if her kid knows how awesome her mom is. Luckiest kid in the world! I love her. <3

[kangaroo662]

Kimya dawson if you can hear me... come to carbondale, IL home of southern Illinois university. We have a very active underground music scene and i would see to it personally that you got freaked out and fucked up as you saw fit!

[dedly10]

how could you say suck mean things! What did she do to you, she makes people happy so sod off. Kimya dawson rocks!

[ikukairi]

Watching her sing this makes me cry. <3

[chrissyshizzlexo]

aahe, i love her ;]

[weirdgirl420]

shes.. so cool :D

[HankHonkyTonk]

So let me get this straight...you and your little puff of hair think this is singing? GTK. Shave that shitty hair and learn to sing for real. Easy Butch..someday someone will love you...you don't have to attempt being unique with this lame shit. Not to mention all these douches commenting on you are just as ignorant. Gee what is that your strumming? Like 2 chords??? What a breath of fresh air.

[MrProgrock]

@HankHonkyTonk GTFO or die plz

[kuroi1tsuki]

@HankHonkyTonk you're a dick.

[slashluva4evr]

@HankHonkyTonk why are you even watching this if you just want to belittle her? are you that insecure that you have to seek out people to bully? c'mon guys, get a grip

[bananas0123]

@HankHonkyTonk

hello there, i would like to let you know that you are a very hateful person. just because you dont like someone or something doesnt mean you have to let the whole world know. so take a deep breath and learn to be nice. it will come in handy i promise.

[CJumpinpandolphins]

@HankHonkyTonk wow you just made yourself sound like the biggest douche bag in the world. your cool.

[loveiangel]

@HankHonkyTonk

I am so sorry that you have such a sucky life that your only option for amusement is to downgrade others.

[ScarytheIrishTerry]

@HankHonkyTonk So let me get this straight...you and your little honkytonk think you're pretty badass? Try listening to more than just one song. Maybe if you did, and stop being an ignorant ass, someone may just sort of have feelings for you. Only for your money, though. And I bet you can't even do your do-re-mi's without breakin a damn string, fool. Her songs are utter creativity. if you played guitar all you'd probably do is a shit ton of covers.

[PsychofanGal]

I love her. Seriously.

Why can't more artists be like her?

[neoninagirl]

she motivates me.

[BROOKEnLOLLYZ]

WoW

Shes The Greatest :)

Ih Look Up To Her :D

[ElSchiel]

whoo! seizure hand! amazin!

[DragonWolf1772]

[CapoeiraPiper]

[deltacomccullum]

[ThatLoudGuyMike]

Thank you! You are amazing!

[momochankb]

the way she strums is so... interesting. :) she is so awesome!

[Kisses2BillKaulitz]

i love her music! im so tired of hearing rap and lady gaga lol her music is so much more powerful than that crap

[Iepsjuh]

lady gaga is so awful!

couple weeks ago i heard a pretty good cover by a rock band of her song paparazzi

that one was quite cool though

[kiranblood]

wow she closes her eyes i never knew that

[VeniceVuoleVolare]

ya know, singin so fast is pretty much easier with your eyes closed.

[kiranblood]

i can sing fast with my eyes open i mean i was'nt "dissing"kimya i'm just saying i never noticed that

[Morigraz]

It's kinda admireable: She's singing so fast but you can understand every single word very clearly! I bet she has a muscular tongue... hehe...

I mean it's really great music, so poetic in some way

[beaogden]

she's a new yorker....... we speak clearly and quickly........ and now she lives in washington. a brilliant life! the beer is one of her most intense songs..... <3 kimya

[Jazzabella10]

loose lips is way more intense lol! all of her songs are fuckn wicked though.

[mollysthename]

i think 12 26 is her most intense song

or that i've heard

[crescentfreshbret]

She's got a lot of intense songs.

[annamolly8691]

is she mulatto?

[BeatFreak16]

its like every song she writes is a little story from my life.

[gAcisseJ]

She is cool =)

More like amazing.

[larryboyjoe]

[MissSykesable]

Hahaha i love that "cha cha cha" at the end.

Kimyas so honest and down to earth i love it <3

[VoodooEule]

Spielt sie das ganze Lied über nur einen Akkord?

[nirvanalover14]

[MrMimaliciousDelic]

[nirvanalover14]

[MrMimaliciousDelic]

[battyangel]

Ah I love her songs :D

Her voice sounds comforting when she sings :3

[deetardeded]

love herrr.

her hand thats strumming is trippy. she does that so perfect...

[ohmyskyylarm]

I'M SKYYLAR!

but im the baby of the winter!

[panthershark1]

Its all bout the lyrics mang

[mindat21]

these all sound the same.

[Dennison15]

Its what shes saying

[RyantheRinoceros]

she is so cool :)

[musicfavorites4me]

Lol "cha-cha cha"

[chiefcountingcoup]

yeah lyrically she is gifted but id like to see more spirit through the acoustic guitar...reminds me of ac/dc good lyrics but can only play 3 frets and 4 chords.....

[daniiidee2010]

Some of the most simple chord progressions make the best songs. I get what you are saying, but if you look back at all the great artists through history a lot of the shit they played was so simple, and I think it's the simplicity of it that made it so perfect. That's just my opinion though :D

[amkskate]

do you know what chords she playing i cant find them anywere and i want to play this so bad

[crescentfreshbret]

It sounds like just G and C to me. She's using a capo and sounds like she's playing in an open tuning, but you can play this song with just standard open G and C chords- I just tried it out. Or you could use barre chords if you want :)

[MurderByLisa]

mannn i love her so much!

<333333

[Baybeblu05]

awsome

[jeexbit]

Rock on Kimya!

[NekoKaiya]

Shes Awesome I love her songs !! (: heheh

[Kisses2BillKaulitz]

i love her and her songs! she is so unique! and i've never seen anyone play a guitar like that :)

[Thugnificent808]

you are sooooo awesome and this is coming form a THUG lol

[BigJermTheWurm]

lol

[LucyJoDavis]

Its so cute (:

Love it muchly.

[elrocky007]

*cry* lifes great but I just want to see her live but i know that i wont

[KaitlynHooligun]

i'm in love with the way she writes.

[CHICROCK5]

me too *drool*

[QuidamByMoonlight]

Cute. That's the best way I can describe her music. It's cute, and fun...like something you'd sing at a campfire...in fact, I have!

[crescentfreshbret]

Cute, fun, and yet powerful. Her lyrics, even in her more lighthearted fare like this, have such a resonance to them.

[dreamboatspetticoats]

I still cannot understand what is going on with her struming hand, it's amazing to watch! haha

one of my favorite songs of hers xx

[williestratton]

i know! it's so cool! it's s o hard to replicate!

[PetraInWonderland]

i love love love love love her(:

[AirportMonkey]

"And I'd rather go with friends than go alone."

She's so good.

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

this is kind of ironic because she's totally cool :D

[Blewbearie]

2:23 of pure genius.

<3.

[LittleM1021]

shes the best...hands down! haha

[sahmbedah]

Awesome...hands down!

[Galwaygrrl21]

Soymilllk: No, that's true, though only in infants. That's why there are warnings on bottles of soymilk stating "This is not infant formula." It can stunt the growth of certain parts of the brain (I can't be bothered to look it up to placate some youtube troll) which is why babies are either breast fed or fed formula.

ANYWAY. Pretty great song. Kimya's adorable; I really want to hug her.

[NinaBengtsson]

I love it, you said it! By the way, isn't love and understanding all that Kimya Dawson stands for? So stop writing stupid things to each other, be nice.

[JustBreath24]

@Galwaygrrl21 I got to hug her. I was filled with amazing-ness. I almost cried :)

[LoversWhoDiscover]

why would you even say something that mean

did she ever do anything to you?

if you have nothing nice to say please keep it to yourself

[locomotive0amber]

she is my favorite person!!!

i love all of her lyrics and songs

thats for the vid by the way

[TheRandomnessAgain]

.....

Parton me? But does anyone know the chords she is playing?

Its actually a very good song soymillk.

Maybe you should listen closer next time.

[sheikadi]

soymilk has been proven to shrink your brain and suppress your thyroid function.

[futrzak2143]

All songs of hers sound rather the same, but she's got nice voice plus I like the lyrics. She could use some more complex arrangements, from time to time.

[monkmonk123]

your right..but thats what i love about her. shes not great at guitar, and shes admitted it. but its okay. because shes just simple and very whatever about it. and i love it.

[tepuaha]

I love Kimya Dawsons style of singing. Shes so cute. :D

[CheckitOutYaw]

beautifull mind...

[onlywordsiknow]

seriously

[juronapod]

she sometimes uses lyrics from when she was a moldy peach like the first part it sais something about how New York is like a grave yard, well u mite not know this but they used 2 have a song called N.Y.C. is like a graveyard.

[iluvbfs]

n e 1 have the lyrics 2 this??

[iluvbfs]

My dad said I had to go do my math homework. Well, here's some math!!

AWE + SOME = KIMYA DAWSON

[luthergnomes]

"I am a rock tumbler, I've got rocks inside my head but just because they come out shining doesn't mean that they are diamonds."

I love her.

[missSomething221]

she's picking the strings with her fingers ! it must hurt..

[theatricalamity]

Not necessarily, if you're used to fingerpicking it's not bad at all.

[cirsti]

i think shes the coolest person out :)

[sallyheartjack]

she's such a beautiful person.

[crazyrareta]

Agreed, I wish I could play as well as her, and her lyrics are just inspiring. Some may think they sound like nonsense but they make more sense to me than any shit that comes out of most people. <3

[missSomething221]

I soooo agree !

[bevislame]

Your my favorite person in the world!

[scrawling]

I second that.

[PrettyLoather]

I know eh...she's just like, too cool.

[XoxoxCYxoxoX]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW shes AMAZING =]

[russasux]

what is the chord she uses for this?

[kc2207]

The chord shape is E.

[raaawrmonster]

i love kimya!!!

[mustkilln00bs]

i've always wondered why she sings with her eyes closed...oh well, i absolutely LOVE kimya!

[timoteo94yo]

lyrics on her eyelids:)

[kris10bridgettelol]

[timoteo94yo]
