I love when people sing without trying to sound super excellent. There's nothing like listening to someone sing with a beautifully trained voice, but hearing another human just sing and emote even when their vocals don't sound technically good is refreshing because most people who can't sing well don't sing at all.

Been coming to this here video for over 10 years now and just so grateful it’s still here. This was my best friend and I’s favorite song and to remember/honor him, I come back here often still to sing it to his spirit. Thank you!

i hope someday you get paid for being kimya dawson..... great line.

Still listening to this in 2022. This song makes me happy 😁

WHY IS THIS NOT ON MUSIC STREAMING SERVICES?!

Well *that* was a lot happier than some of her songs.

SUDDEN CHORUS OF PEOPLE! Life needs more of those.

I've heard a different version of this before, I never knew this one existed, when they start singing those little covers of other songs 😭 Kimyas music is ace

I love you Kimya Dawson. You are so beautiful and human you make me cry real tears. How cool are you? Know this , and please, never forget it my dear, with respect and with my hand upon my heart, YOU (Kimya) your music , your words, have had a profound effect upon my life. When l think of that l can truly say " Kimya Dawson is a human being. Not a human doing. "

you encapsulated kimya dawson perfectly

Her voice and the way she sings are so unique. So chilling :3 LOVE IT!

At 3:30 I almost cried laughing. I love this song, but that chorus of voices was so unexpected.

you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday i was almost sure i had gone insane dude, same

That whispered sample from Metallica's "One" is so unexpected and brilliant! I love Kimya.

I remember when I used to listen to this ALL the time. ~

Such a great video! And this is one of those songs that can take me immediately back to where I was when I first heard it. High school theater club hangout, watching Juno with my best friends. I'm so glad she gets paid for being Kimya Dawson!

this video was everything when I was in high school over 10 years ago and it still is

Man i miss her. I saw her live in April. I also got the oppertunity to hug her and take a picture with her :)

love this song!! i also love the newest edited version too, but i do always end up coming back to this video to hear about the mountains and the stream 🏔️

fifteen years later i still come back to this video and it always makes me smile

An elephant ear!!! Minnesota State Fair staple. Thank you for this.

I love how she randomly starts singing "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain :)

My mom would say "I hope some day you get paid for being Kimya Dawson" :)

So many memories in one video.

this song is the sheer definition of coolness

Absolutely awesome and so true to Kimya's music...I love it! Thanks so much for sharing!

I literally listen to this everyday; I love it so much

This song makes me really grateful to be alive. 🤞🏼

this song made my day

After watching this and listening 4 ages on end, remains my favorite video ever. I love it. Well done.

I love this song

This made me very happy. I heard this song live long before this version was released, but great images and editing! Kimya would love this! I hope she's seen it!

Very very awesome. And nice artwork. Love the look of it, lined loose leaf. I have seen this many times & am only just now commenting. Great motion effects too. Lovely.

This has got to be the most random song I have ever listened to..... I LOVE IT!! It just makes you so happy!

OMW THANK YOU REGINA SPEKTOR PLAYLIST! thx for introducing me to the awesomeness that is Kimya Dawson!

great job! the simplicity is perfect for this song! so innocent and cute! ^_^

she is so awesome, I discovered her while seeing juno

This defo one of my favourite videos on youtube, the video is amazing and reflects the song perfectly, thanks so much for cheering me up everytime im sad :)

thank you for making and posting this! i love the drawings. i found it when i was trying to find the original version of the song (the one on spotify has the cover sections removed)

I really love this video!! Faith in humanity restored!

I love this Crayola vid!!! Great illustrations plus awesome song.

The single most influential person ever. Truth.

This is so cool ... Love this !

This is amazing! The drawings are awesome. Great work!

Elephant ears are a type of fried dough snack. They tend to be long and flat, but given waves through the frying process. They're often cinnamon sugar flavored... like churros.

Aw, what a nice video! I think it reflects the idea behind Kimya's music: simple and awesome. Thanks!

I like going for hikes and riding bikes, playing video games in the mmiddle of the night...

Awesome video! Great drawings and I just love Kimya!!!

These drawings along with the song made me smile :)

whenever im depressed i listen to Kimya's songs, her voice and the lyrics always seem to cheer me up, especially this song and Loose Lips

You were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday It seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane What is it about you that has commandeered my brain? Maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way When I look at your face I can tell that you're not going to be stopping soon or even slowing down And if we keep up this pace pretty soon we'll know the name of every kid and every grown up booking house shows in their town And if home is really where the heart is Then we're the smartest kids I know Because wherever we are in this great big world We'll never be more than a few hours from home... And that's important because I need to travel I've had this itchin in my shoes since I was just a little kid And before I had a mini van I road the greyhound bus My mom would say "i hope some day you get paid for being kimya dawson" And now I do and it's not much But it's enough I've got my scrabble game, food on my plate, good friends and family And now there's you understanding why I do the things I do Knowing that you do them too makes me really happy On the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again On the road again Just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again From a distance, the world looks blue and green And the snow capped mountains white From a distance, the ocean meets the stream And the eagle takes to flight [whispering] Do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do Do do do do do do do I'll be your cryin' shoulder I'll be love's suicide I'll be do do do do do do I'll be the greatest man of your life 'cause I like going for hikes and riding bikes And playing video games in the middle of the night And I'll stay up late and I won't even care That we're getting up early to go to the state fair I'm gonna ride the biggest ride it'll be out of sight Then I'll share an elephant ear with you if you'd like Because we are alive so we've gotta live life To the fullest you spin the bottle and I'll dim the lights Four five six seven minutes in the closet You were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday It seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane What is it about you that has commandeered my brain? Maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way You go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed You know just when to jump off You're so brave And then you run to the right it seems there's no hope in sight And you drop down to the tube that takes you right to level eight Life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it Every day's a winding road yeah My rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs As long as it keeps goin' round it's unbelievable Life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it Every day's a winding road yeah My rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs As long as it keeps goin' round it's unbelievable

yes im the 100th rating :) thats an awsome video right here, i can't stop watching it :3
