Kina Grannis

beautiful! thanks, kina
<3

by the way, your harmonies are incredible.
*puts song on repeat*

Thanks Kina, really beautiful song & singing. It just feels a little strange to see the video ahead of schedule… we missed the eager waiting period ;)

Good luck with the song writing. I´d give my right arm (well not really) to see your session with the 2 Ds. Be yourself, and great music will find you.

And, I have to say, I can totally see that designer´s style fitting well for you. Good choice :)

that guy for the album art did a poster for matt costa, looks good.

kina. kina. kina…

you never cease to amaze me :)

<3

Kina dear,

Hello :) It’s so nice to greet you again :) This cover was very beautifully done :) I found the lyrics to be very insightful and am still in the process of gathering my thoughts to finalize the interpretation of its meaning…it’s so uniquely written.

I’m so glad to hear about your album updates :) You have come so far and you continue to make your dreams come true :) You are such an inspiration to all of us :)

Keep up the good work, you are greatly appreciated :) *hugs*

Awesome as always. Have fun with the songwriting (and take care of that voice)!

What a wonderful feeling to come home from studying all day long and to see that there is a new Kina-song up. That made me so very happy again :-D
I just love your song (as always). You’ve got such a beautiful voice.
Good luck with songwriting!

Kina! Another instance of me liking your cover better than the original! Simply beautiful and I love the harmonies. I checked out 3 or 4 other people covering that song on YouTube and it’s just crazy how much more I enjoy your version. It’s not just the added harmonies either…it’s the WAY you sing the song. The feeling you put into it and the way the music just flows from your guitar and voice.

Love it!

awww!<333 is that the second proposal you’ve been a part of?

and lovely video! its so cool that you are working with daniel bedingfield and david archuleta, it must be so much fun hehe
also im super excited for the new album! andddd for your return to the east coast ;)

Hey Kina! =] love this cover. Oh and I played “stars Falling Down” for my little cousin and he wants to learn guitar now. All thanks to you’re song =] Hope to see you at a show sometime

yay! bon iver! lets all be bon iver fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D so what’s next? woods? that would be an intereting take.

Every time you do a cover, you just nail it! And often you make it even better. Loved it :)

Looooved this song! Kina, you have expanded my musical taste by so much all thanks to your marvelous covers. Like Bon Iver. Highly enjoyable.

And I am left curiously wondering who is the birthday shoutout to “Whiskers”!?!?!?! My friends in college used to call me that…. but it is not my birthday. So…. I am left assuming there is another Whiskers in this world. Who knew! If you read this and you know who that Whiskers is, please let me know!!! I am Whiskers, too! hahaha.

: )

Heyyy!!! Thanks for the b-day wishes… :-p

Today is actually my gm’s b-day, Sat was my gp’s, and mine will be here soon! November is a good month.

Wow your voice! You should really think about quitting smoking :) I’m kidding. I actually kind of liked your voice on this one. It had a sultry feel to it. Rough but still pretty. You never disappoint, nice work. :)

2 Ds with D2?! Wha~?!?

Thank you, Kina for making Mondays better <3

p.s. although I am sad that losing your voice means you can’t reach those high notes you wanted to sing for added harmonies, I do kind of enjoy your husky sound here while talking at the end of the vid. hahaha. it is kind of Kina cute. but I do hope it gets better!

Hey! My two friends and I are doing White Winter Hymnal at a christmas concert, and we were wondering what chords you were playing on the guitar. Please let me know. :D

Can’t WAIT for the new album. xoxo

Fist, I thought “Kina finally covered the kind of song I don’t enjoy,” but it’s getting better. It’s because I like your harmonies. They are so wide and strong. Pretty. I like the work of the designer of your album art a lot. Great choice! My imagination of your new album is growing bigger and bigger. I can almost see it. Is your voice better now?

Awesome cover! Loved it:)
Studying is more fun when there is a lovely voice to listen to.
I hope you find time for yourself to take a breather… If necessary :D
thank you for sharing your talent. You are wonderful!

Sweet cover kina!! even though your loosing you voice you still sound great! You always go above and beyond in everything you do! Cheers!!

Kina! Soooooooooo good. Love it! Love you! Love everything!

I’m so happy to hear the news about the album. That designer has some really awesome stuff in his portfolio and I know it’ll be great! :) Anything with your face on it is great! ;)

Awesome cover. :)

Whiskers is a friend from high school (also apparently a STer)!

ahhhhh! thanks, Mama G. I feel much better now that I know. And as for me, my friends called me Whiskers because I am “curious like a cat!” (which is from the Will Ferrell SNL sketch which I used to quote constantly).

^-.-^

awesome as always =]!!

wat a coincidence.. lol i donated blood today.. and the the blog title is so Appropriate

I didn’t mean to express anger by typing fist. I meant “at first.” wow

kina – your dresser drawer handles are smiling! I get distracted easily… ooh, a penny!

haha! Silly Shir! :)

KINA! your video was, as usual, amazing. we love you and cannot WAIT for the album!! hooray!! :) :)
we’re working on Message for our next video cover! we hope you will watch it once it is up!

have a wonderful week!

Katie and Brittnie :)

ahhh this was amazing kina! and thank you so, so, SO much for the shoutout.. how did that even happen?? i’m not really sure but it definitely made my week :) i’m so sad that i’ll be missing you this sunday in SF, but i know that you’ll have a terrific show. great cover, as usual :)

Another great cover Kina!

Talking about trying high notes and no sound coming out reminded me of singing along with Mariah Carey when I was younger. I’ll still go for the high notes and… nothing! Sure, the neighborhood dogs bark their heads off, but still :)

Oooh! Fancy “Request Deletion” button. Nice work Misa!
