This is true, james overton. I could not agree more! She can walk the walk all the way through. We've got a genuine person of gold here. Thanks, Lauren, for sharing your multiple talents with us.
I still sit and sing/play along to this... I saw several of your shows in SF, and now live in Maine. "Whichever coast. There'll be room there for ghosts " could not be more succinctly accurate to my life, had I written it myself. I miss you. Miss the shows. Miss the whiskey before you go on stage. Miss life before 'Rona. But as i sit here, watching these absolutely insane East coast sunsets, I'm glad I got to meet you, and listen to you and Natalie sing this live. Thanks for everything, Lauren. You're pretty great.
I still play along and sing with this probably every other day... there's something melancholy yet cathartic about it for me. Like a healthy relationship end... no one is mad at each other, yet you're still heart broken. When you played this live I was just amazed. Still feel spoiled to have you as a local artist.
As much as I loved the MTF version - with the outside ambient noises and eerie banjo - I must confess I like this version better. It's cleaner and the lyrics are left free to shine, and such nice lyrics they are too :) hope you win!
Lauren, this song changed my perspective on life. I've been a fan for like six years, but teaching myself to play and sing this song keeps me sane. Thank you for that
WOW I can't believe how long it's been since I last listened to this song. It was my favorite song my first year of college. I named a short play after it.
Hi Lauren, Beautiful rendition of this song - nice warm guitar sound. Loved the version you did years ago with Nat - those serendipitous background noise - children's shouts, bird chirps & caws. :-) And, of course, bowed banjo.
What kind of crazy curmudgeon of a person would ever dislike this? It baffles me. Those 11 individuals are surely insane. Your talent awes and inspires me. Keep creating your beautiful music.
I remember when I first heard this with "My Terrible Friend" and it was my favorite track from what you guys did together. You one upped it here...very well done! :)
Holy hell. She just successfully covered her own song. Loyal to the original but adding something new. The heavy reverb even calls up the outside recording, background noise from the first one. Lauren, you are as ever, at the top of my list of women I'd cross state lines to kidnap.
You are so freakin' cool, dude. And this song always gives me huge feels. Probably because you put the feels into playing it, like a goddamn professional. 💜
As Lauren already said it's an ES-339. Basically a shrunk ES-335 although I think the Eip version has some switching options that the full fat Gibson doesn't have, coil splits etc. Quite a nice guitar.
What tuning is your guitar in for this song? I play along in standard tuning and it doesn't sound right... Also Is that reverb you're using or a different effect?
Lauren's honestly one of the best lyricists this country has to offer

If life was a meritocracy then Lauren would be the most famous artist on this Earth.

Seconded. It's so incredibly good, deep, profoundly lyrical, yet not even remotely pretentious, so singular.

Great song :) I sometimes forget that I'm subbed to you, Lauren, but whenever a video of yours pops up I always know I'm in for a treat ^-^
Fuck yes I listened to this song like 800 times in high school. I'm in college now and this version is just as pleasing
Lauren, this song changed my perspective on life. I've been a fan for like six years, but teaching myself to play and sing this song keeps me sane. Thank you for that
Great song. Beautifully performed. Such a nice, warm tone on that guitar, and the tiny bit of reverb on your vocal.. It just sounds wonderful. Bravo.
What a song, she's incredible. I'm speechless.
One of my favorite songs, some of the absolute bets lyrics, and so masterfully done. Man, Lauren. You stun me every time.
This is still my favorite of your songs. Glad you chose this one, best wishes.
One of my favorites. This version is great! Gold star as always.
WOW I can't believe how long it's been since I last listened to this song. It was my favorite song my first year of college. I named a short play after it.
this song.. one of the best songs ever born into this world. thank you from the bottom of my heart
I wish I could meet you and hear you sing in person. I cant think of any other lyricists that captivate as much as your talent
The world needs more Lauren O'Connell, or at least i do, I love seeing whenever there is a new video.
Hi Lauren,
Beautiful rendition of this song - nice warm guitar sound. Loved the version you did years ago with Nat - those serendipitous background noise - children's shouts, bird chirps & caws. :-) And, of course, bowed banjo.
Fantastic Lauren. One of my favorites. I really hope you win. You deserve it.
My Terrible Friend's songs were great. This is one of the best. Keep the good music!
Love this one! Hope you win!
Love the guitar work. One of my favorite bits of songwriting.
This represents the perfect harmony of every element the awesome song should have:) One does not come closer to perfection than this.
Love love love always will be one of my all time faves
Ohhhh wow. I really like the feel the electric guitar gives this song!
Beautiful, Lauren. Best of luck with the contest! Would love to see a NPR Tiny Desk Concert from you!
Your soul shines through, thank you.
This song has helped pull me through a lot. I love it, its very special to me and I'm so glad to see it revisited.

Fantastic vibrato on that guitar. Awesome job.
One of my favorite songs of all time! C'est beau!
Amazing work Lauren! Love this song, its so beautiful to see it done again! I hope you win! x
this style hits me pretty hard, voice is excellent too. I'd goto a live show if theres one in NY anytime
What kind of crazy curmudgeon of a person would ever dislike this? It baffles me. Those 11 individuals are surely insane. Your talent awes and inspires me. Keep creating your beautiful music.
This is one of my favs of yours, Lauren
Had to listen again after hearing your new one
One of my absolute favorite songs of yours! Love this version, though I do miss the cawing birds in the original recording :)
I love your music so much. I've been supporting you for 5 years
wow what an under rated artist wtf
It seems like forever since you uploaded a video, and this one is no exception to your greatness! Loved it!
Good Luck in the contest, Lauren! I see they have started doing some judging of the 5,000+ entries. I hope you make it!
I remember when I first heard this with "My Terrible Friend" and it was my favorite track from what you guys did together. You one upped it here...very well done! :)
Absolutely lovely
MAN that song makes my eyes leak. So beautiful
Love this song! Awesome, Lauren!
Holy hell. She just successfully covered her own song. Loyal to the original but adding something new. The heavy reverb even calls up the outside recording, background noise from the first one. Lauren, you are as ever, at the top of my list of women I'd cross state lines to kidnap.
I love your voice so much... greetings from Germany! Best wishes!
This is one of my favorite songs. I hope it works out!
I would love to see you perform an NPR Tiny Desk concert.
Great work! good luck in the contest!
You are so freakin' cool, dude. And this song always gives me huge feels. Probably because you put the feels into playing it, like a goddamn professional. 💜
If you don't win this contest, we riot.
Just two words. LOVED IT!
Merci, Lauren . Une de mes chansons préférées de tous les temps.
Made me so happy to hear this again. Also, pleasantly surprised that I still know the lyrics to this.
Love this song!

I like this version much better than the one under My Terrible Friend available on iTunes. When can I buy this one? It's just gorgeous!
Nice job Lauren, I can see you've improved your guitar chops - solid stuff!
So good.
still a favorite
So Good.
Sublime perfection.
I wish so badly this was on spotify
Only you should have brought me in on this. I do really good crow sounds. ;)
splendida voce..complimenti
wow goes right to my heart
In my hundreds of years of interactive time travel I have gained the perspective to call this as one of the best songs that ever was.
meu deus que voz é essa !!!
Ah.. 4 tears ago, when we were young...
Still sends me to an
Avalanche of memories. Must have been a rough time in your life
This song is so underrated.
I would love to hear you do a version of Richard Thompson's The Calvary Cross.
CAW CAW!
Really cool version of my favorite song, I love the tremolo effect! What kind of amp are you using here?
Beautiful voice :-)
Is that an Epiphone Casino? Just bought one for my birthday! :) I love it. (Beautiful song btw, as great as always, awesome)
Thank you! It's actually an ES-339.
As Lauren already said it's an ES-339. Basically a shrunk ES-335 although I think the Eip version has some switching options that the full fat Gibson doesn't have, coil splits etc. Quite a nice guitar.
Oh my goodness is that a BIC #2 mechanical pencil? As an artist, do you prefer .5 or .7mm?
tenés una voz muy linda te quiero mucho!!!!
Still remember the 1st songs u put on youtube with only a few views. And now... see yaa
What tuning is your guitar in for this song? I play along in standard tuning and it doesn't sound right... Also Is that reverb you're using or a different effect?
Like it from "My Terrible Friend" LOVED it here :)
Lauren-chan, long time no listen!
Good luck!!
