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.
Was looking trough spotify to find this song and could not find it. This song has got me trough hard times so i was suprised it was not on your playlist.
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 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! :)
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. 💜
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. 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.
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
The world needs more Lauren O'Connell, or at least i do, I love seeing whenever there is a new video.

One of my favorites. This version is great! Gold star as always.
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.
Love this one! Hope you win!
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
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 ^-^
My Terrible Friend's songs were great. This is one of the best. Keep the good music!
this song.. one of the best songs ever born into this world. thank you from the bottom of my heart
Fantastic vibrato on that guitar. Awesome job.
Your soul shines through, thank you.
Love love love always will be one of my all time faves
This represents the perfect harmony of every element the awesome song should have:) One does not come closer to perfection than this.
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.
this style hits me pretty hard, voice is excellent too. I'd goto a live show if theres one in NY anytime

Fantastic Lauren. One of my favorites. I really hope you win. You deserve it.

Beautiful song.
Used to be obsessed with this song. It's coming back. full force.
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.
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.
Merci, Lauren . Une de mes chansons préférées de tous les temps.
Love the guitar work. One of my favorite bits of songwriting.
Play it loud through headphones - awesome!
WOW!!!
One of my absolute favorite songs of yours! Love this version, though I do miss the cawing birds in the original recording :)
Was looking trough spotify to find this song and could not find it. This song has got me trough hard times so i was suprised it was not on your playlist.
I love your voice so much
This is one of my favs of yours, Lauren

I would love to see you perform an NPR Tiny Desk concert.
I just love this song!
Yup, still love this song.
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.
Beautiful, Lauren. Best of luck with the contest! Would love to see a NPR Tiny Desk Concert from you!
Good Luck in the contest, Lauren! I see they have started doing some judging of the 5,000+ entries. I hope you make it!
