Weighing My Heavy Heart (original) - Stephanie Strand

[PimpyC]

I want to spend money on your music! When is an album coming? How about you just send me a cd-r full?

[astror116]

I really have enjoyed listening to your music. You have a fantastic voice and an extremely rare talent for writing words that are all at once poetic and sensible, which allows listeners to relate so well. Keep going, because there is no telling how soon you will be able to express your music to the nation and the world. The music industry can be discouraging, but do not allow yourself to be scared away by their skepticism.

Your hair looks just like that, now! This was pre short-hair-Steph?

Nope, this was post short hair ... um ... I can't remember the date now. But it was clearly before I moved. Probably only a few months before.

[phvalue323]

I dig this like a grave. :)

[phvalue323]

Thats a womans voice; maybe its the mic; either way, it calls to the man in me. hehehe :)

[BDRPr0ducti0ns]

Damn, your good.

[GaryNull]

You should be on the radio instead of that awful monotomous horrible Norah Jones.

God I wanna rip my head off when I hear her.

[musicgeniusno1]

Love it,such talent :)

[dominuscampeiro]

hey beauty, very nice voice!

[KarenEng]

I love this song! Very bluesy! You have a fantastic voice! ;)

[torstenq]

Brilliant song! And your channel is one of the best music channels I´ve seen on youtube! *****

[WowKablamo]

This made me melt, oh my god

This sort of music has seemed to be put away and not cared for anymore, you have a real talent

[dredlockMiki]

Nicely done Stephanie (^_^)

peace

~Miki~

[honkytonklover]

I love it, you're awesome.

[dunskie]

Where have I been? I missed this.

Such a Stephstrand fan.

You are a true blues singer Steph.

Love ya. Merry Christmas Hun.

[stephstrand]

Many thanks, Danny.

Same to you!

[amccann7]

your voice and style is so unique. Love your originals.

[FateEternal]

You rock!! Cool effect on the mic. Is the reverb cranked up? You wrote that that long ago? Sounds like it could be a really old song that you did a version of! In other words, it sounds like it would've been on the radio long ago, but is not a classic. :)

[FateEternal]

not a classic = your original song that sounds like it could be a classic. :)

[jaredcicon]

Hey Steph,

Also check out "Words Of Love".

J.C.

[jaredcicon]

BTW, loved the Beatles cover you did.

[jaredcicon]

If any Folk Singer/Songwriter stars from the 60's & 70's happen accross your channel, I am sure they sigh a collective sigh of relief upon hearing your voice. Relief that you weren't born 30 years sooner. Many of them would have been displaced on the charts by you Steph.

Your style is such a compliment and almost spooky emulation of the great folk singers of years past, yet with a wonderful/original strength/style that is truly all your own.

I could listen to you sing all day.

Jared

[jaredcicon]

Steph,

Do me a favor. Go to Itunes and search the Mama's & the Papas. Then go their their smash hit "Dream a Little Dream"[of me]. It is from the 70's.

When you hear it, I know you will recognize it. It is in continuous use in one form or another either as a cover or the original recordng in feature films advertising etc.

I think you could totally smash this mega-standard. I would really love to hear you cover it. It is one that you could def. do with just you and your guitar.

[guitaress1]

Cool

[DAVIDDAMIENR]

Very Soulful

DDR

[dereknp81]

wicked

[mysticfm]

You clearly were born with some serious blues DNA. Even in something like this that you wrote when quite young, the sound is still really authentic. And I sure do like how you can sing with a sort of relaxed, carefree abandon and still be hitting all of your notes right on the money.

[davelovesmusic]

A fine original song Steph!

[mysticcynic]

You always have such a great sound! Really like your phrasing of 'weighing my heavy heart'.

[serenataorg]

Groovy blues! I've been tuning my guitar down to D as well lately. Then I'll be playing with someone and tell them that I'm playing a G when I'm really playing an F... I guess I have a hard time keeping track!

[stephstrand]

You know I've often wondered about that. It sounds slightly confusing!
