Flume

I got a new guitar. Steel under my fingertips excites me. The quality of this video does NOT excite me. (I was too lazy to use neither handy sony video camera, nor beautiful Canon 550D.) Instead, I opened up the laptop and recorded straight from the MacBook Pro iSight Cam.

I learned and recorded this track today. Bon Iver make some really nice atmospheric songs...

On a completely unrelated note,
If you feel like supporting me, I'm trying to win a competition to become a body 'shape ambassador'. There's a little cash prize. I want to win it so I can give all my winnings to my grandparents - my grandpop had a stroke, went into ICU and was hospitalised for weeks. Anything helps at this point. So if you have a few seconds (and positive vibes) you wouldn't mind giving me, please click on the link and vote:

I would be so eternally grateful.

Voted for you!!!!!! :)

Relaxing song! I just had a stressful job interview and this put me at peace :)

OH and I was wondering... Are you the girl who wrote the "If I wrote a letter to myself" song? The one that's on DIsneykid1's video called "Ill be your sea" ?

[babyporridge]

@landth78 Yes, that was me :)

@1flushednugget Very well stated compliment for Nikk ...Hope this ode gives you a kick ! Miss Pinoy Porridge is sure fun to know Commanding language like Edgar A. Poe ! This raven haired siren lures mates by the score Then dances away, Nevermore , Nevermore .

You are amazing, fantastic and awesome. Your humour and intelligence shine through your wonderfully sweet voice and cheekiness. I also admire your simple, and playful video style and hope you get more recognition for the quality you share with the world.

Heartfelt thanks

What a lonely world it would be without you!

I liked how you panned the two tracks to both the right and left, although I think the pan isolated the sound too much. I'd probably keep the pan, but have less isolation.

I LOVE this video. U r so beautiful. Ur voice is .... Omg... More than beautiful...

[SPLEclipse]

Beautifully done...except your high E string is a tad sharp (or your index finger is pressing down on the fretboard too hard). Sorry...stuff like that drives me nuts.

[KennyWrites]

[delanabanana]

I am my mother's only one It's enough I wear my garment so it shows Now you know Only love is all maroon Gluey feathers on a flume Sky is womb and she's the moon I am my mother on the wall, with us all I move in water, shore to shore; Nothing's more Only love is all maroon Lapping lakes like leary loons Leaving rope burns -- Reddish ruse Only love is all maroon Gluey feathers on a flume Sky is womb and she's the moon
