  • guess i'm unlucky.

  • farout this has brought tears down my face n im a male its so me n the way u sing it makes me stop n think its awesome realy awesome

  • what are the chords?

  • Hey, Why there is no video response?

    It's right here: "Catrien Maxwell "Unlucky" band mix"

    Adorable song!

  • I want to hear you on the radio

  • so darn touching... <3

  • every lyric. i feel this way. all the time.

    thank you. <3

  • great!! u r great!

  • can you get this off of youtube?

  • I simply love this song, but I just want to let you know that it somewhat lacks your usual emotions. Mostly it's because you didn't sing it at the time you had those feelings, and consequently, it's just a bit too cheerful sounding.

    But keep in mind this is still an Amazing, Amazing, song, and I love it anways!

  • I don't understand why can 1 person in youtube don't like this song ... YOU'RE JUST AMEZING !!! ♥

  • I think you're my new favorite person on YouTube!

  • what are the chords of this song? i love it!

  • Honey ur beautifull more then the sunlight behind u :-) the song is just amazing.. /wave

  • This sent chills through me.

  • this song really is amazing. i really love your singing and i can connect with almost every one of your songs. im singing and writing songs to but i just started like im really not good but i love everything you do, your sorta my example.. so thank you so much for all your songs and videos.

  • wow, i need this on mp3

  • You just got a new subscriber :)

  • i listen to this song like every day ive never really commented on your videos but i started listening to you a looonnnnggg time ago i started with bathwater which was right where i was at at that time and now this song is right where im at now to. im trying to get past it and this song touches some stuff i couldn't even verbalize before so i guess this is thank you so so much for your songs =)

  • This video is like

    my ex wrote it

    so scary^^

  • this was uploaded on my birthday :]

  • I really hope you don't feel like this anymore. But it's good you put it up anyways, cause I think a lot of girls can relate. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • you are beautiful!!

  • Well I'm not exactly sure how you had these thoughts but I'm glad they're gone now. Not only are you lucky to be so beautiful and have such a perfect voice, but whatever guy ends up with you has got to be one of the luckiest guys on earth. He gets to listen to your beautiful voice whenever he wants. Plus, I'm sure he'll have some songs written about him. You're amazing.

  • Damn.

  • This song is really amazing! I'm posting it on my blog :) Hope you don't mind! xx

  • naaaawwwwwwww!!! you're so cute!

  • i think its good to express however you feel. and if you feel depressed it makes for a good song!

  • if i am unlucky to be in love with you so be it ... i dont care....mmmmmmmmuah love ya

  • Wow .. Your very talented.

  • How do I articulate what I want to say?? You are one of the most amazing, heartfelt artists that I've ever heard. And I know this isn't a current feeling, but this need be said just in case you ever go back to this place.... You are simply Amazing. You beautiful. There is so much depth to you. You don't understand that your voice and your messages makes people feel not alone. And that in itself, is a testament to who you are as a person. Don't ever forget that.

  • umm, you're GORGEOUS, an AMAZING singer, and AWESOME at playing guitar. How could you possibly think you're not a catch? =)

  • I like this song because if the opposite of every line is what's actually true :(

  • like, :))

  • I'm really starting to feel a little unlucky :)

    I think many people can identify with this song of yours at some point... You're brilliant...

  • I'm really starting to feel a little unlucky :)

  • Great song, but I do not understand the phrase "And I know I am no beauty", because you are more beautiful than any girl I know. I am glad you think differently now though. Every girl deserves to think highly of themselves. God Bless, shalom aleicheum, namaste, or, if you are an athiest, "have a great day, beautiful".

  • utterly amazing..

    

  • Very nice - to say the least.

    Modesty - when sincere - what can be better? Humility, self worth and loftiness, together they climb, lean upon one another, clearing through all the cobwebs, the illusions and the grime, until they find what needs to be found, so close, and yet so far.

  • This song is amazing! It's a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics being sung by a beautiful voice. You are such a good singer! As @BelovedbytheNight said...you've just won yourself TWO new subscribers and fans! Keep it up! You'll go far! (:

  • this song sucks not because its a bad song or because u can't sing its because the content of the song hits close to home is all... :/

  • Your music is beautiful. I first heard your cover of 'Breaking The Habit' and I fell in love with it. You're truly amazing and I can really relate to this song even though I'm a guy. I also loved your original song 'Cannibal'. You have an amazing voice, I can't stop listening, honestly. I'm one of your many fans as of now. Take care and keep up the great work.

  • you  remind me of missy higgins

  • good sad song =[

  • I can't believe you only have 5k visitors to this? OMFG you are incredible! This song is a heart felt tribute to all those that can't stand something about themselves! GO GIRL!

  • dude you are too good. shoot me a message or something if youre ever near sac i'd want to jam! this song is amazing!

  • I want to be "UNLUCKY"... You are a very talented woman!

  • WOW I almost cried. It is so touching and sad. I mean it`s a great song (it blew my mind), but so so sad :( You are amazing and beautiful and super talented and I know that every boy would be lucky and more than happy to have you as his girl, and who wouldn`t-then he is really really stupid!

    Best wishes, best luck and lots of love,

    Rozalia ♥

  • really nice song...

    very good voice

    i;ve added u, pls chk some of vids if u can , let me know wot u reckon

  • this is such a good song....and i thnk any guy would be lucky 2 be with u...ur an inpirational person and u r my idol and i want 2 be just like you when im older <333

  • Its easy to see you sing from the heart no doubt

    feelings inside gotta let um all out

    express your feelings through your voice

    keep on writing Its your life your right your choice

    lol that was top of the head n felt like sayin it after hearin ur song :)

    ps glad u dont feel like this anymore n check out my song ive jus realed n let me kno wot ya think! thanks x

  • very good song. But very sad. =(

    You're a great musician though. Keep it up. =)

  • amazing.......!!!!!!!!! This u've composed just to tell u, you've an amazing talent to mould your feelings and compile them into such beautiful verses with such nice melody............what to tell.........!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's simply amazing,,fantastic& stupendous!!!!!!!!

  • Wow.. I really don't know how to describe what I'm feeling after hearing this song.. Just WOW!! -3-3

  • I had mentioned that "Cannibal" was probably my favourite song of yours, I think I just changed my mind! Still love it but "Unlucky" is just incredibly beautiful and melodic, I can't stop singing it. By the way, modesty is a virtue and a rare commodity these days but to think that you actually felt the way the song goes is unbelievable. I just wish I had been "unlucky" enough to meet you at the right time, besides talented you're a sweetheart and totally hot. Girl, I'd marry you in a heartbeat.

  • Behind every strong woman is a jerk who made her that way. Guess something similar happened to you? Beautiful song btw

  • I think your experiences that made you feel this way at one point and time are what made you who you are today; which is a very talented artist who is able to convey it all to us. Beautiful performance. :-)

  • Pssshhhh Any boy with a girlfriend who is so pretty, AND talented is VERY lucky!

    Seriously though, how many people can write so many amazing songs? :D Love the melody!

  • The greatest music from great artists come when they write music that expose their feelings. All great composers from the great classic composers to the great blues and rhythm and blues, to great rock artists. My favorites right now are Regina Spektor and Ben Folds. If a song comes at a good or bad time in your life, write it and share it because chances are we will love it. You have got the talent to do it.

  • I know you no longer feel this way about yourself, but I can't see why you would have felt this way to begin with. I know we all see ourselves different than others see us and we all have our insecurities, but you are such a beautiful and amazing person that you should never feel like anyone would be unlucky just to meet you, let alone end up with you for the rest of his life.

  • You are amazing, and so talented! I love your songs ^^,

  • Great song! =) I love your singing voice.

  • Bubble Love xxx

  • Woah, this makes me cry.

  • you amazing, in every way,

  • the lyrics are sad and tounching :( the song is beautiful

    i can feel the emotion.

  • I like the music you write. I relate to a lot of it. You're crazy talented and I'm jealous of your acoustic skills.. You have no idea how much crap I would get if anyone I knew, knew that I listened to music like yours, because, well, it doesn't suit my "image" at all hahah. Keep writing good music, there's not much out there anymore.

  • Wonderful. Just wonderful. The song is almost as beautiful as you are. With that said, I can't for the life of me fathom how you once thought the lyrics to be true. You're talented, gorgeous, and seem like a total sweetheart; as has been said before, "unlucky" is the LAST thing the man who manages to capture your heart should consider himself. Anyway, congratulations! You've just won yourself a new fan, subscriber, and, if you don't mind me hurling a request your way, friend. Take care, dear. =)

  • @BelovedbytheNight Aw, thanks! You're so sweet!

  • @catrienmaxwell Heh, you're welcome! Just statin' some facts. :)

  • Hey, wow you have an amazing voice and amazing talent. So I'm glad you don't feel like this anymore, because you have so much going for you, and any boy would be very lucky to be with you :)

  • WOW!!!! Thank you for sharing your experience for what it is. This song is just amaaaazing. can't stop listenin to it. No shame for the way you're made...thanks

  • WOW!!!! Thank you for sharing your experience for what it is. This song is just amaaaazing. can't stop listenin to it. No shame for the way you're made...thanks

  • good sound & good voice! Little melancholy song But i like it,I'm from TOKYO

  • Hey,

    I think it's really good! I was just having all sorts of ideas to add up to your guitars and vocals. What would you say if I were to record extra drums, bass and guitars to give the song more power? I would love to have a youtube collaboration with you for this song.. Let me know what you think!

    Sam

  • @samhuisman That would be amazing!!

  • @catrienmaxwell

    With your permission I'd also like to have a go at this? Excellent song by the way - which I think we can all relate to (at some point we have ALL had these feelings) :-)

  • @BrianJ1962 please let me know if you do something with it!

  • @terminatorgir

    I shall - I'll send it to Catrien (her song after all) so she can decide if she wants it out there ;-)

  • great song and voice!

  • Dear, you are lovely, and though I don't know you, I am proud of you, for your talents, and for your sweet soul. Who shares love with you will be blessed :) Take care and be well.

    Namaste

  • Wow. This is beautiful, Catrien. I love the melody and your voice. Great job. My favorite since Under the Influence, which I still miss btw ;-)

  • just wondering what is your nationality?

  • @ccrespin246775 Black and white! Like chocolate and vanilla swirled ice cream, the best kind hahahah

  • what is the strumming pattern? :)

  • This was beautiful. Your voice is amazing, almost pretty much cried.

  • great!

  • I LOVE THE SONG AS ALWAYS

  • incredible song catrien... i think as girls we always feel like this at one point in our lives! relateable to soooo many. great song, sounds great, and you look amazing with no makeup! hah once again, loveeeeeeee it!

  • its awesome...........

  • Yay for finally being able to get the whole song! (Blegh at the content though, *hug)

    Despite the negative nature of the lyrics, this song is still wonderful.

  • @hawaiitshirtman What? You did get the whole song before!

  • @catrienmaxwell I only got half of it =) You didn't want to spoil me too much. haha

  • @hawaiitshirtman What?! Noooo, I swear it was the whole thing. That is so weird!

  • i actually love this.. i guess maybe i can relate to it. also, what guitar do you use? it sounds so nice and im looking into buying myself a gooden :)

  • Beautiful Catrien. Your voice is especially wonderful!! I'm glad to have found a fellow YouTube songwriter!

  • Hi, in spite of the depessive theme it is a very nice song ! Even depression is a feeling that can be sung in a song ! Good made, girl !

    Best regards from medianmusic

  • love your songs ...love your voice ...youre a grear singer ;) ...really ..love it ;)

  • Actually, it is cool to hear these kind of songs from time to time. It's just a way to help people to go through strange feeling that sometimes seems over-whelming. It's good to hear happy songs, but sad or angry songs are good as well to create a balance.

  • This song is sad but amazingly beautiful. I'm glad you no longer see yourself this way. Lately I've been feeling kind of this way and this song I can really relate to. The guy who falls in love with you will be very lucky. =)

  • Catrien, it's good to hear that you have moved beyond the feelings expressed in this song. But it's sad that you ever felt this way. Next time you start feeling so down or doubting in yourself just think about the amazing gift that God has given you and the very bright future that is ahead of you!!

  • You meet sad in this video... I hope to be wrong.

    I wish you the better!!!!

  • I think you are very talented and have star quality looks too. I hope that you do something with your musically skills and don't get discouraged and give up. When you look into the camera, your eyes are mesmerizing. You need a good agent. Go for it. Remember, Cher and Lady Ga Ga started where you are right now. Look where they went/are right now! You could be them. It's up to you. Don't let anyone try to stop you.

  • Wow. Your originals never fail to impress me. Ever. EVER! This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I've been going through a similar period in my life lately, and this song is incredible. But just to let you know, you're beautiful without make-up. And I know whoever falls in love with you will be extremely lucky. You're amazing. Keep it up.

  • I LOVE IT CATRIEN!

    you are so talented.

    it's sad but still so beautiful.

    could i pretty please get the cordsss?

    i really wanna make a cover!

  • @alliebaileyyy Em, C, G, D the whole way through, except for the bridge which is:

    C, Am, C, D,

    C, Am, C, Am, D

  • Beautiful lyrics <3

  • o by the way i kept listening to this, and i realized how much potential there is for a duet in this song.. you should try it out get a guy to sing opposing lyrics back and forth with you.. o and when can i expect a cd? :P i'll be waiting to buy it :)

  • amazing song Catrien, i subscribed to your channel after i seen your first video for a reason... keep it up, and whatever boy you are in love with is a lucky guy. hope to hear more soon :)

  • Amazing as usual, Catrien. :) I'm glad you're feeling better. The guy that somehow manages to get an angel like yourself to fall in love with him is soooooo LUCKY. Keep smiling!

  • you look beautiful with or without makeup

  • @jeffboyy1 and are you telling me im unlucky?

    you are perfect the way you are

  • this is truly a beautiful song.. We all feel like this at different points in our lives and you having the courage to write it all out and present it to the world is truly courageous. I write songs also, but mine don't have the same depth. Good luck in all your future songwriting endeavors :)

  • Yet another amazing song. I'm glad you don't feel so awful about yourself. We all go through moments and it shows in one way or another (like through songs), but it's when we don't dwell too long in those depressions that we come out stronger human beings for it. Honestly, this song is incredible. Sometimes it's nice to kind of beat up on yourself. It's like if you can take all the punishing you give yourself, you can definitely put up with what other people throw at you. Keep writing, hun.

  • i love your sonqs so much i wish we could download them so i could hear them all the time!

  • Hey, Great voice... don't worry about what people think. As writers, we write to deal with the way we feel in a given moment. The moment passes and we have a song which serves as a photograph of our feelings in a given moment. Keep it up!!!

  • little youtube family. lol

  • this song is so incredibly beautiful. i hope you never have this feeling again, you don't deserve it. but at the same time, something flawless came out of that night.. you're making others feel so much better about their lives by posting such amazing music. thankyou<3

  • I'm glad you did feel that way once upon a time otherwise we wouldn't have this great song ;-) But I'm also glad that you know better now cause you have everything to say and your a beauty even without the make-up ! Keep it up

  • This is just a no make-up song really.

    Thank you for showing your emotions to us all.

    Like the guitar playing

  • I wish I was that unlucky. :)

  • Great song!

  • You look cute.

  • you are truly amazing!

    i am always blown away by your music.

    this song is genius! i can relate soo much.

    keep on writing(:

    p.s.

    you don't need make-up, girl!

    you're gorgeous! <3

  • This is a truly amazing song! You are one of the best youtube singers I know :)

    Oh, and btw! Could you do a cover of a song by Tokio Hotel? I would be really happy if you could. And sorry if my english isn't the best, I'm from Sweden ^^'

  • i was very "lucky" to here this awesome song.

    And i would love to be the unlucky guy for you... hehe

    Ima cover this song if its alright. im gonna try my best.

  • This song... It's like I've been writing this song on the pages of my life for the past few years. Kinda cuts deep. Great song. P.s. You look great with no makeup.

  • It's called the blues; it's part of life. The sooner in ones life they recognize that it will not always be a bed of roses, then the better off they will be. Good song.

  • No make-up is the way forward hehe I don't wear it anyway :) Even though it's depressing, it's an amazing song- you have soo much talent... Keep posting !! xx

  • Hi Catrien Unlucky a 5/5 ★s Fav

  • This is a beautiful song, even if it has a negative type of viewpoint. I hope you can change yourself (as you see fit) for the better. I'm trying to do the same, kinda. I'm sure someone must've already said this but the guy that falls in love with you is definitely lucky. : )

  • Your songs are all meaningful. You definitely have a pessimistic view on most experiences in them, but that shows how sensitive you are and you see beyond clichés and cheesy stuff. That's why I enjoy listening to your originals :)

  • Super ! ! ! ! ! !

  • Luckily you seem to feel better about yourself now :) You are beautiful, hopefully you understand it too.

  • I love this song...i think it's my favourite out of all of your originals....obviously i don't love that you felt like this. I glad you're happy again...we've all experienced down times :/ Your music is so emotional and heartfelt (Y) thumbs up :)

  • hey this song is kinda punky lyrics i like it mucho - sing it punk cat !!!!! either way keep writing this stuff when you're in all types of moods ps. you're a beauty and you got the a lot to say ;)

  • Incredible! Love it! In fact I am speechless! Good job!

  • This is a great song even though it has a really sad message.

    You have an amazing voice and I'm really glad you don't feel like this anymore because you're so talented and beautiful!

  • Your still beautiful without your makeup.

  • Yea we all know that feeling.. I've written a couple of those songs myself..

    - Some of them are actually incredibly beautiful if you look a bit differently at them..

    =) I don't think I'll throw them at youtube though... Not as some of my first original ones though ;) hehe..

  • Hello CATRIEN! It's CBFALL! I can totally relate to your song from a male perspective! It's really cool and very accurate to how I feel most of the time!

  • I'm happy you put the preface in there. Voice and guitar sounded great. Lyrics and melody were wonderful too.

    'That guy' will be lucky indeed to fall in love with you.

  • its nice to hear u talking and see u smiling again :) and the song is amazing. but i can see why ur mom doesn't like it so much. But i like it! :)

  • Aww Catrien. I can relate to this song. So thank you. You're so beautiful even without getting all dressed up :) Beautiful voice, as always!

  • @Unvergesslichh Thank you so much. :)

  • well that song is great! very talented girl, great voice...love it

    marcel

  • i'm so happy that you finally feeling so much better. you look like your so happy now. and of course the song was extremely beautiful as always, just like you even without the make-up...lol

  • Everyday with you is golden

    Cuz to me your oh so sweet

    And just to see you in the morning

    It's a dream come true for me

    Baby you know that your beautiful

    To me perfect in every way

    Just the sound of your gorgeous voice

    Leaves me speechless everyday

    :) this is how ur music makes me feel

  • @Teeeeeeeeem AWW that was so sweet. :D

  • @catrienmaxwell :D you really are amazing and stunning! :) u really do put a smile on me everytime i go on youtube :P. All the way from New Zealand, love your music! ^_^

  • Any man would be so proud to be the one your holding

    Any man would never have a doubt cuz he's got the best fish in the sea

    My head will always lean to ur side, knowing that everyone can see,

    Can see that ur with me

    but baby, i'd never make you feel alone

  • Ofcourse i want to show off the one i love

    Everything we do together would never ever be enough

    All i want is to see you, just to hold you

    I'm not ever walking away, I'm so happy to be with you

    Whatever boy who'll one day fall in love with you

    Is so lucky

    He'd be so lucky

    Just like an angel singing her sweet melody

    Don't be sorry

    He'd be so lucky

  • As a parent I can see why your mom hates the lyrics. They are hard to listen to from that perspective. But all that aside, this is a great song. I was just thinking the other day how incredible it is that Youtube allows us a glimpse of talented young artists like yourself develping your craft, when in my day we would never have had the opportunity. We are all lucky to be part of your 'little Youtube family!'

  • amazing song!!

    nice work!!

  • this is what making music is all about. getting this feeling out and let other people relate so that they can get this feeling out too. love this song!

  • its hard to believe someone SO beautiful and SO talented like you could have ever felt this way. good to hear you don't anymore b/c there's no reason you ever should, not you! (or anyone, i guess, lol... although i feel this way, but in my case i think it does apply). beautiful song, you're seriously amazing at writing!!

  • Wonderful song. The sad one's are always my favourites!

  • @Tidinrw Aren't they all sad? Hahaha. And thank you. :)

  • woooot <3 it!!!!!!!

  • who ever falls in love with you will be the luckiest unlucky guy

  • this is an amazing song :-) great job

  • I used to have negative thoughts and I think the best way to handle it is to suppress them, whanever it comes, it's suppressed and go.............

  • @plaplaandtoto Oh no! Don't keep them  inside, they will eat you alive. :(

  • Whoa Cat, that was flawless!

  • so the conclusion cat, its not about beauty/make up stuff, its about guitar, argue on something we jam, can't play guitar we play badminton,tennis, jogging, etc stuff

    take care my sweet sis o mine

  • im such a huge fan of your music. your voice is so unique and i can feel the emotion in all your songs. keep them comin!

  • Beautiful song and voice! I love it!

  • I don't care about no make since I favor people not wearing any. However, I really like this song. There are times we look at ourselves, criticize and move on to be better than what we were before. So never apologize for those periods in your life they are the preludes to a new you.

  • @IsaiahOs Not apologizing at all!

  • @IsaiahOs

    well said :)
