fallin’ for you
hello!
wow, this every two weeks thing is making me even more awkward than i remembered! sorry about that everyone :)
the good news is, the plan is working. last week i played guitar for fun for the first time in a LONG time, and i wrote one song and 2 half songs. it felt really good to get back into the music.
tomorrow i am meeting with my mixer to make some final changes on the songs. oh boy :) it’s going to be a long day, but i am so excited to be almost done with this part.
it dawned on me recently that i haven’t played a show in about eighty years. oops! time just kind of flew by…
the good news is, i’m playing two shows coming up, one in my hometown– mission viejo, ca (orange county), and one in my current town– los angeles. i’m so excited to be out playing again and seeing everyone. here’s the info:

Have all of the edible gifts from your PO box video been consumed?
not even close! i’m working on it :) and sharing, of course.
Have you found any (real)strawberry tea?
i haven’t personally sought it out yet, but it’s been confirmed by many a tweeter that it’s out there!
Did you enjoy listening to John Mayer at the Troubadour?
yes, he is such a phenomenal guitarist and songwriter. it was great :)
Looking back on your 24th year, what would you say was
your greatest accomplishment?
oh wow… that’s tough. maybe deciding to leave the label and take on this journey independently with the help of all of you… working on my first full-length album… going on my first tour (however teeny tiny it was)…
Looking forward, what are your goals for your 25th year?
releasing my first full-length album, touring most of the country and seeing a lot of you people while i’m at it, in a PERFECT world, touring abroad for the first time and seeing all you international people, doing the best i can to share my music with people, writing as much as i can, playing as much guitar and singing as much as i can, cooking more, being healthy, spending quality time with my family and friends, reading more, hiking more, growing, learning, smiling…

August 19, 2009

the shoutouts/scavenger hunt looked fun. although, i’d probably be walking up and down the block looking for an orange tree =P
August 19, 2009
Again happy birthday you and Dr g!
Great job as always, and hopefully an international not-so-teeny tiny tour can happen. ;)
P.S. Whoever gave me a shoutout – THANK YOU. It cheered me up.
August 19, 2009

August 19, 2009
Try not to slip and fall and die on the broken tile on the stairway…
August 19, 2009
Fantastic cover! Love the shoutout treasure hunt.
Will you marry me?
;-)
August 19, 2009

August 19, 2009
Another great cover by Kina Grannis, but what were we expecting? A horiible performance? I Dont think Kina Could sound bad if she tried.
Happy birthday Gidget!
August 19, 2009
great cover thanks
August 19, 2009
haha..i had the same thought haerie (about kina’s hands, not about you being weird <3)
August 19, 2009
ah!! i think this is my new fav vid! this put me in SUCH a good mood, i feel like i’m floating, like i’m about to sprout wings and fly off to some spectacular place…..
thanks kina! i know i say this all the time, but you’re awesome!… magnificent, wonderful, amazing…. all the superlatives in the world can’t even begin to describe you. <3
August 19, 2009
aww shucks, Rini :) Thanks!
August 19, 2009
come back to the pacific nw, kina! come every spring and call it the cherry blossom tour :) i’m sure there are plenty of cities you could add (but really, you must start in portland)
August 19, 2009
ahh! after watching this video I realized how much I have missed Kina. two weeks is too long…. but I understand. so glad you are working on new songs, Kina. very exciting!
I have heard this Colbie song title, “Fallin’ for You,” but I have never actually heard the song itself. but I am glad I heard your version first, haha. it is so pretty!
oh, and thank you for the shoutouts! I am going to email Leah & Isabelle ASAP…. they will flip with excitement! they have been asking me all week when your newest video would be posted. hooray!
August 19, 2009
[...] new youtube up dates but Colbie is one of my favorite acoustic artists and Kina does her justice with a great cover of ‘Fallin For You’. They both have that great combination of a slighly raspy tone [...]
August 19, 2009
It does seem like a long time since your last video, but as they say “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. I really like this video and your cover was good! Loved the Treasure Hunt!… although that step does look a little unstable, particularly right in the middle of the stairs. Connecting “make and wish” and the dandelion would have thrown me off. I immediately thought of stars. Oh, kudos on the one handed unfolding dexterity :-)
Take Care!
August 19, 2009
Well… no words to discribe you really.. just… uhm… nope, no words. And the ones that pop into my head, are not good enough! Just loved it :)
P.S.- It kinda felt like Christmas waiting with anticipation for your video the night before, and then waking up the next morning to watch it! ha! crazy me…
August 19, 2009
Every time I watch this video, I have to remind myself “She is just singing a song. She is not really telling me all those words.” And that’s not an easy thing to do…
August 19, 2009
Love the creative shout-outs!
August 20, 2009
They went on the catamaran today….. *sigh*
August 20, 2009
All your goals… I hope you get all of it accomplished. & a lot more.
LOVE YOU!
August 20, 2009
Awww! Kina you are Welcome to hit Seattle again on your next tour! (I am trying to get 103.7 (The Mountain) to play your songs… I think I am almost there.
August 20, 2009
Yes, yes…. Once I get you the final “Chex” mix , the album will be COMPLETE!!!
;-)
August 21, 2009

August 22, 2009

August 22, 2009

August 23, 2009

August 24, 2009
=-)
August 24, 2009
You need help… no, really.
August 24, 2009
hahaha
August 26, 2009
Well, we already know you can sing…and you can blow girl let me tell you. But, seriously, those shoutouts were awesome. So creative. How you do them is becoming my favorite part now :-) Can’t wait for the next one.
August 26, 2009
No pressure….. haha
August 26, 2009
ah duh, info was in the post. i’ll try to swing by on the 12th!! hopefully see you then!
August 28, 2009
Hey Kina! You are soooo talented. I love your voice. I have a cover request. I would love to see you do a Sublime cover. I think you could make it sound amazing. Not that they aren’t already amazing… lol.
Also, you probably get this over and over again, but you should totally come to Alaska. It’s kind of out of the way, but you would probably find it beautiful. A little cold in the winter, but no less beautiful.
Thanks!
August 29, 2009
Congratulations to 100.000 Youtube subscribers!
You are the best, Kina :-)
August 31, 2009
Hi Kina! Great job on the song and music. Love it. Hope your doing well and you make beautiful music come alive.
Thank you.
