O Valencia- The Decemberists - Ukulele Cover by Harper Phillips

Dear People,
This is a rather amazing song that touched my heart, so I learned it on my ukulele! I have a capo on five if you like it too.

also, I'm trying to go to lillith fair in Denver, voting starts next month, and I'll have all the info on how to do that on my facebook fan page. If you haven't fanned up yet, your support would mean a lot to me. If you already have, well that just means the world!

Lastly, thanks Justin's nut butter for putting me on your website! pretty cool!

Harper Phillips
who loves you and don't forget it!

Wow, I literally got shivers from this. You have a beautiful voice and amazing camera prescence. I love your version of this song :) The Decemberists are like one of my favourite bands and this song is one of my fave by them.

Harper. I love your stuff. You vocals are great is your playing and your personality. I am subbing I am looking forward to featuring one of your videos on my ukuDaily website. The sound quality on this one was just a bit distorted or I would have picked it. Post some more stuff soon!

wow that was really good keep playing music and keep singing dont let that talent go to wayste.. (:

[dohertyrp]

ditto the comment on Zooey Deschanel!! I think she is super pretty... natural beauty and you could be her twin. i'm not sure if it's your voice or how pretty you are but the entire presentation is super amazing. you have some serious talent... go for your dreams and make it big if that is a dream! i found about you via the justins nut butter video... fyi i think its funny you sing about nut butter.

So, Itunes tells me that out of 90,000 songs, this song is the one I listen to the most. 11 months of practice on the uke and I still can't get the singing to correspond with the notes right-most frustrating thing ever because it is in my head playing along as I screw it up.

Great job, and green with envy here- hopefully at some point I will have a video reply (groan)

Such a beautiful voice, and a creative take on a classic Decemberists' tune... I LOVE it. Your voice has that easy-flowing, rainy-day, Norah Jones kind of grace....... You need to get signed....
