My Dd wrote a song, it might might not be brilliant but considering i bought her that guitar at Xmas and she taught hersrlf to play its not too shabby

I've liked and commented on her vid. She has a lovely voice and plays really well.

VelvetRose · 13/05/2015 20:02

How fab! I loved the song and her voice is really gorgeous. Reminds me of a sort of cross between Kirsty McColl and Edi Reader! Well done Beki!

Branleuse · 13/05/2015 20:14

shes lovely, and sounds great

BitOfFun · 13/05/2015 20:21

What a beautiful voice she's got! She should be very successful.

TheoriginalLEM · 13/05/2015 20:55

oh bless you all - she sort of surprised herself with her voice, she has never really shown any interest in singing before then sort of realised she could sing, started messing about with her DP's guitar and then i bought her one for xmas. I am Envy that she can play it even, i can just about manage twinkle little star!

She is happy to be doing it as a hobby and isn't planning on making a career from it, she loves doing the open mike stuff and was thrilled when she was asked to sing as part of a daytime thing in a pub and got paid - all of a tenner :)

I am so proud of her, none of her friends were around on her first open mike event and she wouldnt let her DP go because she gets the giggles when he watches her play so she pitched up all on her own!

Sorry, she is my PFB :) her little sister likes to sing (she is only 9) but very honestly i don't think she will be following in her big sisters footsteps (earplugs!!)

She has a great voice and I love the song. Believe me, I wouldn't say that if I didn't think it! I've seen so many really bad YouTube videos and would just not comment if I didn't like it.

FirstWeTakeManhattan · 13/05/2015 21:00

Gosh - she's good. She has an appealing 'something' that actually comes across in a mere Youtube link.

Good luck to her - it's a hard road, but she's obviously talented.

BitOfFun · 13/05/2015 21:02

I had the tune going round in my head afterwards even after just one listen- that's the sign of a talented songwriter!

TheoriginalLEM · 13/05/2015 21:04

I have to say BoF that is has turned into a bit of an earworm for me today :) but in a good way

Really enjoyed that Smile

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 13/05/2015 22:16

Have come back for another listen now that I am in child-free peace and quiet! I love it even more the second time! Really wistful beautiful words so eloquently sung! Her voice thoroughly complements the style and arrangement of the song too, and the guitar playing just outstanding! Really love it!

arethereanyleftatall · 13/05/2015 22:18

I wasn't expecting that!! She's got a gorgeous voice.

NorfolkEnchance · 14/05/2015 00:16

Fantastic! You must be so proud LEM

MiscellaneousAssortment · 14/05/2015 00:33

Just lovely :) lyrics, voice quality and singing style, well done your fab Dd.

Katymac · 16/05/2015 09:54

How is this going LEM has she had lots of views and lots of likes - she deserves them.

DeidreChambersWhatACoincidence · 16/05/2015 10:00

Wow! She's so talented. Her song is lovely Smile

madhairday · 16/05/2015 10:04

She's lovely and so talented LEM. You should be proud :)

PrettyLittleMitty · 16/05/2015 10:11

Honestly, I was expecting it to be a bit crap but I thought it was bloody brilliant! Always wary when parents post stuff their children have done but this was definitely worth sharing.

Your DD has a real talent, good luck to her.

FortySixandTwo · 16/05/2015 10:25

What a beautiful voice ! you must be so proud, Her voice reminds me a little of the Be Good Tanyas.
