I wish my friends were the intellectual, folk-loving type. This is something you instantly get that feeling of "oh my god, I need to share this with as many people as possible before I die" with.
2021, first came across this years and years ago. Still a great song. Years ago I listened to it when I was alone and in a hole, now I have a family and I see it differently, maybe I can teach this to my daughters when they get in that weird spot in high school. Thank you for writing this, I have listened to this song for a really damn long time, and I have always found comfort in it. Da da da daaaa
I'm more of a classic rock, funk, and metal kind of listener, yet I find your music mesmerizing. Thank you for the time, love and commitment you make to creating, performing, capturing and sharing this piece of you with us. I hope you raise the funds you need for your next effort via your pledge drive (see Lauren's latest RUclips post).
I just discovered you... and this song -- listened to it 3 times in a row. Very moving song! Thanks for writing and expressing your thoughts through these beautiful lyrics. I am now a fan.
Impressive, and amazing. You've got the voice, you've got the guitar skills, and you've got the writing skills. I think you're one of the first people I've seen on RUclips to bring that much to the table right off the bat. Looking forward to more stuff from you, as it can only get better.
Wow, another talented singer/songwriter. I'm definitely subscribing to you. By the way, not to sound creepy but may I say that you have incredibly beautiful eyes.
Wow. Your soul has a voice, and your voice has a soul. I know singers/musicians on youtube often get praised when they aren't that good (chocolate rain) but you deserve it. Loved the song, loved the lyrics, and your voice is brilliant. You got me.
ive been soo down latley i thought i would never be happy again but listening to your songs wsa the only thing that lifted me up so please keep making beautiful music.............
I love this song so much. The 2 best parts? A) Your hat, and B) The way you sing the "On all but you and I" part. Amazing. I could listen to it all day.
I recently bought Sitting in Chairs (the album that this song comes from) and I would like to say that it is amazing. I usually don't pay much attention to acoustic singer/songwriter music, but Lauren always manages to do more with less and stand out well above the typical (average) stuff. There is significant character in Lauren's voice and mastery in the lyrics and guitar work. The room where the album version of this song was recorded has some lively natural reverb that works really well with the song and is the kind of nuance that music fans like me love to consider. Lauren, if you're reading this, I'm a new fan and love your music . I've really enjoyed getting to know your back catalogue. Looking forward to seeing what 2016 will bring for you and your work with Nataly.
Your so good, I wish that the whole world knew what talent was. You've got a gift of singing, writing, and playing any instrument you play. You lucky, and beautiful, and every one should know it
but crazy's just crazy and oh, so it makes me not an ounce less sincere. your lyrics really connect with me and i think a lot of people would agree that your personality really shines though your music. please never stop music.
I love this song soooo much. I may have already commented on it, but I thought I'd say so again. There's something about your lyrics that I can always relate to.
i stumbled apon ur videos today, which is wierd cuz i don't really listen to this type of music, but i couldn't stop listening becuz u have a beautiful voice. what i'm trying to get to :P is this one is my favorite thus far.
You are a brilliant lyricist, Lauren. "But my soul's got a voice And a black telephone And it calls me at night When I am alone And it's ranting and raving in languages I can't speak" is some fine writing. Of your songs, I think this one is my favorite.
It's obvious you're really nervous when you play your songs, but you really don't have to, these songs are are beautiful and youre voice fits them perfectly, just keep on going like that. It's like a regeneration break when I listen to you sing. Thank you for that...
Hi! So I was trying to get rid of this addiction for this Japanese heavy metal band I have by listening to other music but none of it was as good as the Japanese Metal band so I was giving up hope that I'd ever stop listening to the same Japanese Heavy Metal group for the rest of my life. And then a miracle happened and I stumbled upon your music! With your help I am now able to listen to other music. Thanks Lauren! p.s. It sounds like I'm joking but I'm not. Seriously. Thanks!
Your eyes are stunning. They are amazing. It makes me wish I had blue eyes. As blues as the sky, as cold as ice. The things dreams are made of. Just pure speechlessness amazement.
your music is absolutely beautiful. i want to wish you good luck in your music career although i highly doubt you need it! i also love how you are just yourself in these videos too many artists now-a-days put up a wall so to speak and dont let us get to know the real them.
2024 and still coming back to this
One of my favorites of hers. Wish it was on Spotify.
Keep coming back to this one.
15 yrs ago. This is an oldie.
I frequently end up back here. Everything that has passed since is brilliant, but I still love this
this song is so good that i caught myself singing it in my kitchen even though i hadnt heard the lyrics in over a decade

I listened to this song back in 2009, and I thought about it the other day and here I am again. Still amazing

You are a brilliant lyricist, Lauren.
"But my soul's got a voice
And a black telephone
And it calls me at night
When I am alone
And it's ranting and raving in languages I can't speak" is some fine writing.
Of your songs, I think this one is my favorite.
You rocks girl!!! Beautiful
This one in particular is so good that it hurts. It tears me up just to listen to it but you are so worth it.
this is such a perfect day for a perfect song like this.
As fellow guitar picker I gotta tell you this is one of the best chord progression I have heard in awhile.
|Rev.

Damnit, I love this!! The voice, the lyrics, the melody, the guitar! a big heart from Chris
You are amazing!
