Kimya Dawson - Lullaby for the Taken

[bubsadoozy]

The most raw lyrics I've heard in so long. So unapologetic. I didn't give her a chance before, now i'm going on a video viewing rampage via the suggestion box.

[idahliaify]

I love how whenever she makes a mistake, no one gives a f*ck and neither does she. She just laughs it off and starts singing again and talking to her fans. Plus it's not one of those things that hits national headlines, unlike people like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. Plus she has such a laid back voice! She has suck a beautiful voice and such amazing talent! I love Kimya :3

[thaity44]

the word is real..really ..feel can u feel me?

[yonimiller]

The second verse about the Grandma is one of the most beautiful things iv'e heard

[KeDDyJoO]

i love how she never records her voice and make her sound like a freaking robot she leaves her beautiful voice alone :) 

[AshPashokayy]

can everyone just take a chill pill and stop fighting, if you don't like the song don't listen to it.

[Wdfdude]

I love how her songs are so symbolic and not fake like a lot of artists now-a-days.

[wonchisonvarity]

that song comes straight from the heart

[MamaKRamsey]

I Love John & Kimya! They Rock My House Down Forever!

[JeremiahAlesana]

Did she mess up on the "Tuesday night" part, or is that how the song goes?

[coolnesss16]

The thing i like about Kimya is that even though she's obviously not the best singer in the world or guitar player (and if your looking for that your obviously not going to like her music or get into it much) but she is one of the most honest. And when comes down to it for her it's all about the lyrics. The more your able to connect to them the more she finds a way into your heart. Not only as an artist but a person.

[Ratfinkpie]

I love when the audience sings with her :3

[facadeolho]

can i put you in my music box

[corymbea]

good fun sitting behind her during movies

[emodeathangel2]

@PurpleShoes737 This song sounds like a divorce. The ending makes me happy and loved.. <3

[candiburgess09]

I completely LOVE her!!! Her music puts a smile on my face!!!

[clueless301]

dude... I'm a black guy.  I was watching Juno. I heard this song. I googled the song. I found her. I have favorited hmmmmmmm like 7 of her songs in 20 mins.

[lys71090]

@clueless301 besides the black guy part im all in that comment

[TeenageSkin]

@grasspants you do realize that by using the word "dyke", its implied that the woman is butch, correct? on a side note, you are invited to go fuck yourself.

[XXTeganandSaraXX]

i almost cry when she says that stuff about her grandma...

[venturesomeness]

I keep crying at this :'( just the part with, "Chin up girl, you've got to be strong, and know when you're singing i'm singing along"

[emodeathangel2]

@venturesomeness it's okay. I always cry at the end. It's like a lyrical hug that makes me feel warm inside

[PleaseReadBooks]

Jesus Christ, Kimya you are so amazing. Yes, I know I am not speaking to her...

It's brave for a girl to be this naked and honest and I respect it so much.

Thank you for saying what some of us can't articulate.

[LittleIngenue]

.........<3

[Cielolaah123]

my fiance and i love her sooooo much!!!

[ilovesaraleader]

kimya is amazing, a 21st century female bob dylan, amazing writer, awesome voice... just makes me sit listen and appreciate, and then want to play anything... thanks Kimya

[lemmingsonsaleagain]

@ilovesaraleader I totally agree, her voice is beautifull and the songs acheingly heartfelt check out townes van zandt

[7ier]

kimya dawson is awesome.  'nuff said.

[deppleo1]

Kimya will change youre life!!!!!!! ooh take a look at my favorites maybe youll 'whack' haha stupid fuckers...KIMYA FUCKING ROCKS...

[m8mitorr]

this suks

[jefftipps]

you suck, gaybo.

[jefftipps]

Your probably into the most over produced non sense on the planet.

Some of her lyrics are abstract but if you listen carefully its quite easy to hear the meaning of this song, and as someone who's best friend is in a custody battle for his own child i can tell you there's quite an obvious and important message in these lyrics.

By far the best female vocalist since Niko, i never get bored of her melodies and airs

[m8mitorr]

she's not even singing!!! she's just saying it. anyone can do that, numb nutz!!!

[jefftipps]

Its called "recitative" and not everyone can do it "numb nutz".

Dude i heard the pish you've been favouriting on your profile and from that point on i've decided that your not worthy of an opinion on what good music is, i mean "raise the roof jam session at my house with gabe bondoc and passion" - i was right with my first comment, you're into over produced cock-fests, you'll never get it, best thing for you is probably suicide ya tasteless cunt.

[m8mitorr]

like u are worthy?? i seen ur favorites. its all like worst this, worst that. what the fck is that? K wait i change my mind. u are worthy of finding the WORST SHIT EVER!!!! dumb bitch

[jefftipps]

Yeah mate "the worst" videos are steeped in irony, they're funny, but i wouldn't expect anyone with your shitty taste in music to get irony.

[m8mitorr]

the only thing ironic here is you and that dumb bitch singing have a thing for shitty fckn music

[jefftipps]

Thats coincidence not irony.

You don't get it, by that comment you've proved it.

And "fckn" is fucking, you've got 26 letters at your disposal on your keyboard, use them, grow some taste then come back.

[jefftipps]

Passion and Danny Duet (Acoustic) - Refiner's Fire. Mate if ya wanna start with the "FCKN FAG" nonsense - do me a favour first, look at that video on your homepage then when your boner subsides and the cum's forming a sticky seal in your underwear you can go to your bathroom, look in the mirror and give yourself a good old fashioned gay bashing, cause if anyones a fag here its you dude, you and them 2 pole smokers in that video, wouldnt be surprised if you were one of them. Tasteless yahoo.

[lothsdrow]

yeah man its soo hard to sing, just saying it in that way is sooooo much easier!!!!!...thats why she has already made 6 solo albums!!!! maybe you can try it out too??? you said anyone can do it...so you try making an album then!!!

[jefftipps]

Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault.

[kelliieex3]

i love the fact that she's just as good live as she is in her album, some artists tend to sound really bad live but she's just amazing anywhere<3

and that's what i call real talent.

[themack911]

[singxmex2xsleep]

[JustBreath24]

Absolutly! I want to see her live SO SO bad.

[1987ian]

[superpersonthesecond]

I LOVE THIS SONG! kimya dawson makes my day every day.

[wittie3]

are her lyrics based on events that have happened to her? maybe it's a stupid question but i'd like to know

thanks!

[ayemaynedayyy]

if her songs aren't based on things that happened to her, then she has one hell of an imagination, haha (:

[J450njenk]

yeah i think the song is

i think her nephew skyler got taken by her brothers wife.. or something allong those lines (:

[yonimiller]

Whoa! the verse with her Grandma is amazing. So moving.

[bdby4lyf]

You play the guitar really well! wish i was as talented as you!

[acorn2taco]

just wish she would play at the normal speed

:(

[ajedogawa1916]

i always play this song on my guitar! im using G C D G but it seems like shes using another one... can someone tell me what chords shes using?

[stringwhore]

a minor?

[furyandfilth]

D7 instead of D

[elrynx2]

All the songs sound the same of hers.

[SPEWfreeSnog]

at the begining maybe..but after listeing alot, youll hear erach tune is different, and beautful!

[thisisjessica]

Love this videos :D you can easily see the chords shes playing :D

[MegaPerfectJesus]

You can see the beginnings of a smile creep across her face when everyone joins in on the chorus. That is the magic of music right there.

[jagertime420]

i like the chorus when everybody joins in

[dathers28]

wonderful

[evathedivalicious]

LOVE.
