- Fun fact! Colin Meloy (writer of this song) was born and raised in Helena, MT, where I live. I did not know this when I covered this song. How numinous! :)
Thanks for listening. :)
I can be found on Fakebook here:

came back to hear this song again, 12 years later... your beautiful voice and innocence are mesmerizing
come back, I've been living with your covers for so many years
Hey! Phil? Phil Connors? I thought that was you!
Wow... I never thought I could love this song more, but after this, I do. I, too, would be pleased if I were Colin.
This is what i call real music no dancing about like on x factor can not stand the program, keep on doing what you do thanks for letting us hear your wonderful singing
I genuinely didn't think anyone could bring anything more to the decemberists music being as brilliant as they are. I was mistaken, this is awesome. It equals the original!
Still in love with this!!
I love your cover, I like the decemberists but collin meloy's voice wears on my ears, it's great to hear a chill cover with a pretty voice.
Remember all the effort that used to go into recording music for upload to UA-cam... actual mics
I listen to this version all the time, i checked your page from time to time disappointed you were taking a hiatus! i seemed to had missed you by about a year, but kept coming back to listen to your covers of Shiny (over and over and over) , Street Spirit, Stray Cat, and red riding hood! Glad to see you are back ! your covers are beautiful.
This is still my favorite interpretation of this song.
I love this so, so much! You are amazing!
This is lovely and mellow. Great cover!
i also left you a comment that hasn't appeared. thanks tube. basically, you're so good, the bands should thank you for covering them. you've turned me onto things i may have not added to my collection..but your versions are even better to me in a lot of cases. bust some richard marx or nelson, i bet you could even make them enjoyable, and that's nearly impossible.
Your voice is a precious instrument. Together with your guitar talent makes a beautiful
blend of awesome music !
You made my day.
I never search for original song, because i love your version
Sorry about my english with Google translate lol
love it.
I cannot wait for an album Brooke.
This cover is a classic all by itself. Still, please remember that YOUR VOICE is above and beyond your guitar-playing (as good as it may be).
Great vocals, keep it up. Dig your covers
Please come back. Your covers are amazing!

really, really awesome.
I really like the original but absolutely love this and all your covers.. Your voice is soothing. Hope you keep singing and playing. love from florida
I meant to mention that your (or anyone's) guitar-playing can only be considered a backdrop or accompaniment for your singing. You have a distinctive sort of "breathlesness" that is both somehow "laid back" and intense at the same time. It's indescribable. I wish you best for your career.
You should do more Decemberists covers. This is amazing
Really enjoyed this cover.
Your voice. 😍
@mckendo83 - Nice! the Decemberists are from Helena, too, where I live now (Montana).
wow brooke... i really liked it. Nice job.
I love this song, but his voice kind of grates on me in this one. Your voice is really perfect for this song.
Sweet voice. Saludos desde chile
great voice, and nice interpretation :)
really awesome :)
Really really nice. I love Decemberists, though I haven't heard this song before. You performed it superbly. P.S. nice website.
you've got great feeling while you sing :)
lovely,thanks.
I like you people :)
Thanks for the kindness
Thanks so much guys :)
kgargano - Colin Meloy actually found this already and wrote me a really nice myspace message. It's funny, I live in his hometown, in the same neighborhood where he grew up, which I didn't even know until he told me.
Thank you, that's a really cool description that makes me sound awesome! :)
The Decemberists are great, very beautiful music! And here we have an awesome cover of yours! :) Maybe you don't like the kinda muted sound of your guitar, but I think exactly this is YOUR special and unique sound! Damn, I love your music!
Kris
so im officially in love with your voice, just thought you should know :)
You Are Pretty Amazing 💜
I love that song. I'd like to do it sometime for sure. :)
💙
Thanks everyone! I've tried replying individually to some of you but the tube says no, not allowed, then cackles maniacally. Lets see if this one sneaks past.
dear god..
its useless to say how yr voice is beautiful since everyone has already done that.. and the guitar is great too.. this makes me feel really sad about my decemberists covers.
thanks peeps :)
@kyle02 - the guitar pickup? I can't remember the name of it off-hand.. you can buy mine off me if you want. I don't use it anymore. private message me if you like.
I'm not usually into seeing peoples' renditions of songs, but your covers are seriously amazing. I'm also not a fan of "American Idol", but you would do some serious good if you auditioned. I think people need to hear you more on the mainstream.
Thanks Robert and everybody :)
Robert, you can get the chords to this if you follow the link I put in the description there.
very different from the original. I Like both. You have a nice voice :)
thanks. you, and everyone. :) did you find my website? all the MP3s are there. the link is in the video description.
I've never heard the World on Fire cover. I'm not a big fan of their version of Dear Prudence, but I may cover the original one of these days. thanks for the wishes of happiness. same to you :)
@thebrooke forgot to mention fade into you - which is how i found you in the first place. I heard your version of shiny before i had heard colin meloys even haha so you turned me on the the decemberists.
haha. i sorta figured it out after watching the rest of your videos... the ring is a dead giveaway!
hope to see more videos soon!
If I remember... It's like a B but only two strings of it (so the last three strings are open), then Em -- and you go back and forth between for that measure or whatever it is.
hope that made sense. :)
@mckendo83 - thanks :) I am trying to come out of hiatus... as funding allows. but I have a facebook now, and am seriously making an album this year if it kills me. come visit! ...facebook.../TheBrooke.TheBand

Thanks Mellidy for all those lovely descriptive words. Do you write lyrics? You should. :)
@mentalbane98 - thanks very much. :) keep practicing! I started when I was 13 and it sucked for the first year or so, before the fingers started really cooperating. :)
oh. my GOD!!! UA-cam is so messed up these days. I keep replying to these comments, and they keep not showing up. I reply again. Again, no showy uppy. I'm sorry guys.. I'm just not in the mood to re-re-reply right now. if this goes through, then I'll try.
Thank you. I'm glad it's official! :)
wow
thank you
I thought I heard a second voice too, an octave down. You mean like at 1:41? I think the low guitar strings create that illusion whene'er that melody line comes up.
On a different note though, you have a good ecclectic musical output. I wonder who you think are your favorite bands. I would like to hear you cover Siouxsie and the Banshees, if you are interested. Their covers of "Wheels on Fire" and "Dear Prudence" are different enough to warrant covering in the Siouxsie Sioux version, in my humble opinion.
Thank you. :)
I, like, just wish you would sing to me forever.
Thanks! :)
noooo... don't feel sad! thanks though. Are your covers on youtube? I go check. :)
gprentice303: Somebody beat you to it kid. But thanks for askin. :)~
and thanks for the enthusiastic comment. :)
if you want my covers, I posted them all on my site recently. just go to the link which is on my youtube profile/channel, and from there, go to 'music'.
You're a godess.
thank you. :)
If only I could remember, without having a guitar handy.. It's been so long.
HOW THE FAMILY DOING? HOPEFULY GREAT .YOU NOW I LOVE TO HEAR YOUR VERSION OF OTHER SONG,OH AND HOW OLD ARE YOU?
I mean I posted them as MP3s. also some that aren't on youtube.
Thanks! And I wouldn't disagree that my vocal skills surpass my guitar skills. I think most peoples' vocal skills surpass my guitar skills. :)
Sounds layered with a second voice in places. Did you change the delay? Whatever you did, it sounds gooooood.
Lovely song -- I'd never heard it before, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Only one thing remains now... an original Brooke tune for us to hear!
thanks :)
Please please PLEASE tell me what chords and/or notes you play. I'm trying to learn this song on piano and it would be greatly appreciated
Dang it...You're married aye?! Well, okay. Duly noted. Sad that I doubt I will ever meet a lovely girl who can play the guitar half as well as you, but I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Thanks! I thought nobody called things snazzy anymore but me. :)
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C :P
i think umm... yeah... i think im going to marry you. is that okay?? :) but really, wowie wowow!!! so good.
hey.. what about you covering engine driver by decemberists? I would love to hear it with yr voice..
well, just an idea, you probably are busy with the album thingy and stuff.. but it would be really nice anyway.
it's on my channel, but it's /thebrooke13
You really remind me of Emily Haines from Metric when you sing.
Fcking nice/////////////////
wow. that's all i can say.
Wish i had a girlfriend like you, i could die in peace listening to your voice as i fade
Sweet, sweet vocal. Try Across The Universe by John Lennon. Maybe some Karen Carpenter too...
How old are you.
Excuse my clumsy but sincere praise.
HA! nice suggestions. don't tempt me.
that's silly... but I'll take it. hehee, thanks! :)
