"Giving Up" (Ingrid Michaelson Cover)

Originally by Ingrid Michaelson, who is incredible. I've wanted to try this song for a while, and lately I've felt like I needed to do something a little different from what I would usually pick to cover, so this seemed like a good choice.

Requests are always welcome!

This is where I got the chords from, but I moved the capo up one fret. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/i/ingrid_michaelson/giving_up_ver4_crd.htm

you sound awesome!

Whats the strum pattern?

[devilishlypure]

I don't know, can you tell by watching?

[Mapsp2]

=D that was awesome, what kind of guitar strings does your guitar have? Because I want to buy one but I don't know which strings I should pick , Thanks!

[devilishlypure]

D'Addario Lights!

Lauren, you are a total goddess in all aspects, but in the nicest way possible it'd be awesome if you got some singing lessons so you can control the fantastic thing that is your voice. This totally isn't a dig and I hope you're not offended, but I just think you're not doing yourself justice.

Lovely song!

[devilishlypure]

Thank you. I've taken them in the past and they haven't done anything for me, so I probably won't continue to pay somebody who probably won't even be able to help me.

You should do a cover of Eet by Regina Spektor. I think you do an amazing job of it =)

[ReggieUnderbelly]

I'd love to hear you cover a Tegan and Sara song.

[JulieLefkowitz]

You're voice is beautiful!

You're kind of the reason I picked up a ukulele and learned to play. I didn't think I could learn by just using the internet but you inspired me. This is one of the first songs I've learned to play along with painfully obvious. So thank you. :)

[LAshlieH]

This is still one of my favorite covers of this song. ever. At least a hundred of these views are mine. :P

I saw you when you stopped in Asheville, NC and it was so fun.  :)

[JennieRaeUrban]

This is so great! I can't believe I just found this. :)

[orangesho13es]

This is one of my absolute favorite songs from Ingrid. I can't believe I haven't watched this video more than once since the time you uploaded it. What was I thinking?!? Thank you for such an amazing cover, Lauren.

[swimmersgirl]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[lotchken]

can you please sing Where the road meets the sun by Katie Herzig and Mathew Perryman Jones ? I think you'd be perfect for that song... : )

[AlexisUnger]

aww this is quite cute.

[dancinerd]

I can't decide if I like your version or Ingrid's better. :) You're kind of my musical inspiration. Thank you for being so freaking amazing, and I hope we get to see you on the tubes sooon!!!! <3

[LAshlieH]
