mwahahaha.
i probably should have saved that title for a time when it’d make sense…. oh well.
The Call- Regina Spektor Cover
wow! the blog has has been a hoppin’ place lately! so many comments from so many lovely people… it’s nice having company all the time :) thanks!
For those that play guitar or want to learn how– let me know what you want!
Loading ...Yesterday we recorded all the drums on the album with a very talented guy named Quinn. this week we’ll lay down all the cello with Keith Tutt II! very excited…
heart,
kina
oovret: week 29
Happy YouTube Anniversary!
How long did it take to create the “Message From Your Heart” video entry?
the non-professional one? hmmm… probably about 6 hours. it was my first video ever, i had no idea what i was doing… and as it got later into the night, i started getting weirder ideas to try out (ie the beating heart drawing)…
How long did it take to get your first “random” subscriber?
that’s a great question… i actually don’t know! but i wish i did. probably after i posted the akon cover “don’t matter”
Who are some of your YouTube subscriptions/favorite YouTubers?
oh dear… here we go with favorites again. i keep up with a ton of youtubers and find them all to be quite talented. i could start listing them, but i’d probably forget someone and then feel really awful about it.
When you posted your first video did you imagine that exactly a year later you would be in a studio recording an album with Interscope Records?
hahaha. NO. that’s a funny thought.
Now that it has been discovered, will the punching bag be used?
i think it’s my neighbors so i’ll probably stay off. plus, i remember back in my karate days, punching things always burst a lot of capillaries between my knuckles and made them look all bloody under my skin which creeps me out.

Thx for the shout out!!! =)
November 17th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Amazing once again…Do you listen to Jack Johnson by any chance?
November 17th, 2008 at 8:32 pm

wanted to go buy this song but itunes is incredibly mean to me and the rest of the world bc u need to buy the whole narnia cd =( oh well your version is better anyway ;)
November 17th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
o you should do some covers of Jack johnson like good people or better togethe and some JimmyEatWorld like hear you me or carry you =D

November 17th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Yay another Regina cover. Awesome, as usual.
November 17th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
I like this cover, it is very soothing. Yay on the timing ;-)
November 17th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
that was beautiful. i like the ending =]
:waves goodbye:
November 17th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Woot. Have to wait for the vid to finish slowly streaming so I can download it and convert to Quicktime and watch it all the way through.
Is it really only a year? How many decades does it feel like?
It took a while before you went into the studio, did you and the team do a lot of prep before you started recording and if so, do you think it actually made things go faster once you actually got going?
November 17th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Kina,
This song has some of the most calming, beautiful, and personally touching lyrics I’ve heard in a long while. Its a great cover. I’ve heard the original recording and in my opinion, your voice with your guitar deliver the message of this song with more emotion and influence than the original. Great work… though you didn’t need to hear that from me.
November 17th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I feel so special that I got a birthday shout out, thanks so much kina it makes turning 17 even more sweet, now one more year until i lose all my money to indian casinos. Great cover again, I wish all artists could cover songs and turn them into their own. But then again that is what makes Kina so incredible.
I had to watch each of the videos listed to see which ones were my favorites, I almost forgot about please remember because when I listened to it I had a sudden urge to pick up my guitar and figure it out, but that is one song I voted for as well as people, and the goldfish song. Secretly I think I might vote for all of them once so no songs feel left out.
November 17th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
You have motivated me to learn to play guitar. something my father who is an avid guitarist has been trying to get me to do for 15 years. i have finally fount the push i need to start learning!!!

didja forget to log out on another computer?
*looks down* *twists big toe in rug* I do that all the time lol
work vs home haha =D
November 17th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
i am so surprised that you never heard this song! it is extremely hard to believe! if you saw narnia then i am certain that you would have, and from that i conclude that you never did! no offense keens but what kinda person doesnt watch the hit movies? what are you doing with your life? shucks! no excuses, none.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
@kina
it’s not my birthday…i’m suing!
haha, j/k…did someone request it? wrong month…man, nice friends i have, don’t even know my birthday!
November 17th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Lovely. I have to say Im a little spiteful to see you sitting outside in your tank top while I am here on the eastcoast with two heaters on, looking at the snow outside my window- not fair ;P. Ohh well, at least I get to listen to you sing.
November 17th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
sweet moses! nice cover! :) i am melting now *blush* really love your voice.. thank you so much for keeping my tuesday as one of the most exciting day.. (yep, it’s hard living on the other side of the world..sigh)
but..YAY for The Goldfish song if you do a tutorial for this one..sweetness!
keep it up kina!
November 17th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
dont you love the chronic…
les of narnia?
i dont remember this song sounding so great when i heard it at the end of prince caspian. partly because it was a lame sappy ending and it wasnt kina singing.
you sounded great outside. a little wind noise, but no weird computer noises!
i’m going to have to get this on cd now.
it’s so early. what am i going to do for the rest of the evening…? i guess i’ll just listen to this a few more times….
November 17th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
i swear your voice is real addicting! i could listen to you talk all day and never get tired (:
goldfish song, ftw! so that way when you come up to san fran, or even better SAN JOSE we can play it together and be happy!
November 17th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
@kina
Thank you for the shoutout Kina<it3 V.v. surprised and happy to have had it = I’m stunned but loving it though8D
Much relieved to have heard that you are all safe! Was it the usual winds and the oils in the bushes making the fires spread too rapidly to control?
I also hadn’t heard this song before either!
Have you heard David’s Heart song yet, it’s really good but unfortunately he didn’t sing it clean, which is the way I like to hear his singing, perhaps you could persuade him or even lend an extra delicacy to it by covering it yourself or converting it a tad to do a dreamy duet together sometime, should be really lovely for us:)
Seriously looking forward to seeing some studio footage!
Oh and no Kina, it is You Tube that ‘Too Soon’ keeps being unavailable for viewing = semi phew hey, way better than it being off of iTunes! I expect I’ve not put it clearly enough, I need to sleep more than I do, shame Heima didn’t work out, it would be really handy for inducing sleep! Do you normally put it on to help you drift off to the land of nod?
Sheesh, I almost couldn’t think to input this:))
November 17th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
love the cover!
btw, how do you have time to train (marathons)? and it would be awesome if you came up to norcal!
November 17th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Kina!
1. awesome cover…and the fact that it saved me from my dreadful homework made it at least 9129308 times better…(at least)..so thank you
2. come to d.c.? yea? great! :)
3. last question (that i’ll try not answering myself)..what did you study at USC?
haha ok..take care and kick some butt @ the studio! word.
peace-love
emily!
November 17th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
I lovelovelove this song. So glad to hear you cover it. Plus, it is a great distraction from studying for my exam tomorrow morning!
Have a great week!
November 17th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
YESS!!! Goldfish Song is winning!!! woohooo!!
O and is the song you played during the marathon video gonna be on the new album?

November 17th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
kina. girl, you’re amazing. and this is one of my favorite songs ever. i flipped when i saw you did a cover, and you totally did it justice! keep it up!
November 17th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
ps. i agree with the comment above me! the version of “i want to hold your hand” frmo across the universe is really great!
November 17th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Kina, your voice has never been lovelier than in this cover… great job!
November 17th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
kina as always u dumbfound me with ur blessing from God of a voice… no matter if a cover or an original, its always beautiful just like yourself(not meant to be creepy or stalkerish in any way haha) had i been in Cali when u did ur marathon couple of weeks ago id have met ya at the starbucks but i live in kentucky soooo wouldve been long travel(again not creepy or stalkerish in anyway haha) neways from one aspiring musical and vocal artist((hoping to be in ur position one day soon) to another like urself im very proud and glad for yah, ur awesome in everyway and always bring a smile to my face on monday nights when i come home from an always horrible day of 12 hour shifts at work…. i dont really care if u give me a shoutout or not the next vid u put, but if u do thats cool, otherwise have a good week and God Bless bud, later
November 17th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
great cover kina!! another awesome video to end my monday. “the goldfish song” is on top, and right behind “together” … ooh.. i’d love to see both tutorials.. this’ll really make me pick up the guitar and play it. :)
November 17th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
<3
November 17th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Kina,
Bless you!! Honestly, you’ve made my night when I saw my name appear at the top of the list of birthdays. It actually made me let out a weirdly controlled, exhilarated shriek wouldn’t expect to come from a man. Hope my roommate didn’t here it…
It’s a wonder how small gestures like wishing someone a happy birthday on a video can make one so infinitely cheerful and smiley, especially when attached to such a beautiful song. Once again thank you and God bless!
November 17th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Hey-
Loved the song you sang tonight, you sang it beautifully, this was the first time I heard it, you did great.
and i can’t think of anything else to say, I had something else i wanted to say, maybe i need to get some sleep…to bad i have not be able to sleep at night lately. oh well.
Loved It!
YAY!!! for Drums for the Cd!
Huggs.
Jen :)
November 17th, 2008 at 11:30 pm

November 18th, 2008 at 1:37 am
hey, just curious.. do you have a lucky guy in your life? .. or girl? o.O lol. just sayinggg..
November 18th, 2008 at 1:58 am
hmm, flake by jack Johnson would be a cool cover
November 18th, 2008 at 3:32 am
awesome song.. just curious.. have you or do you know anyone who may have made piano notes for any of your songs?
I’d love to give that a shot. :-)
November 18th, 2008 at 4:14 am
I think you just made my month Kina. When I went to watch Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and this song came up at the end, I got major goosebumps from it and immediatly recognized Regina’s voice. The minute I came home I looked up the song and I must have played it at least 15 times on repeat.
So when I checked this morning to see what news was on your blog, I got goosebumps even before I started the video. It lived up to any expectation I had. You made a touching cover out of it and I love it. Also, I don’t know when you got the request to do this song, but I’m gonna throw one out there as well. Maybe one day you’ll find the time to do it :). I’d like you take on a Sara Bareilles song. There are multiple options, so i’ll just list them: City, Between the Lines, Gravity or even her own cover of Sullivan Street (Counting Crows song).
But first of all, good luck with working on the album of course!

November 18th, 2008 at 5:37 am
@evann
ditto. i can’t seem to go too long w/o checking in at the bla(h)g. Or having kinatunes in the background (see below). So for a while i was logging in on a couple different pcs around work. i kept getting the signed in as . when i got home. but i’m lucky cuz i have vpn for telecommute days and can log off my office pc from home. that’s how i figured it out.
below: kinatunes in the background is incredible cuz it sets a great ambiance in my office. but it doesn’t work that well cuz i just can’t listen w/o wanting to see the vid.
phew. that’s too much to write b4 coffeeeeee. g’day evann!
November 18th, 2008 at 6:00 am
@Mini K - Happy not ur Birthday!
November 18th, 2008 at 6:19 am
@kina : haha why HELLO! nyahaha I love that song! Regina Spektor’s awesome. Aargh you sing so beautifully! I’d done a cover of that song.. which I had privated.. and later on deleted bwahaha..
OH and I keep forgetting to say it.. Awhile back you FAVORITED my cover of “My Time With You” and I wanted to say…. THANK YOU!!
November 18th, 2008 at 7:22 am
did I just get 2 birthday shoutouts!!! or is there another Pearls? either way whohoo! Thanks Kina.
loves the cover. and I can’t wait for The Goldfish Song tutorial.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:00 am
I am VERY sad that Never Never is not an option. :(
November 18th, 2008 at 8:02 am
Really good song
November 18th, 2008 at 8:57 am

@kat
yayy! beatles songs!! great idea. how ’bout “Blackbird” ???
Sarah McLachlan covered it for the movie “I Am Sam”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3VrggQW7tk
Betcha Kina could outshine that version. I know she can!! =D
November 18th, 2008 at 8:59 am
oh. and . . .
I think sara mc plays xylophone with a screwdriver 1:10

;-D
November 18th, 2008 at 9:54 am
definitely dig the cover :) and you looked lovely in the video (wow, really, imagine me saying that lol)
i wanted to ask—are you having any shows coming up…possibly over the christmas holiday??? cuz that’d be the sickest christmas present ever ;)
November 18th, 2008 at 9:57 am
Which songs would you like a tutorial video for ?
AH AH AH that’s a torture and for real !! we would love to learn how to play “the goldsih song”, “people”, “down & gone”, “Memory”… !!!
choose up to 3 !! Grrrrr
ok ok, we know that u are very busy and u find time to respond to us and to keep posting ur video clip, that’s something !
thx Miss lemon
November 18th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
i loveeee this song :)
and i’m so sad it’s been so long since i’ve been on here.
and that my visiting hours to this site are always so sporadic.
my monday was terrible. it consisted of writing a paper until 3:30am sunday night/monday morning, falling asleep at my laptop, waking up at 7:30 to finish the paper, finishing it half an hour before class and forgetting that i still had to do the bibliography, and then freaking out because it wouldn’t let me print it 10 minutes before class!! ahhh!…. good thing it finally worked.
but… i guess it got better because i got an amazing email from a friend, AND i got to see this amazing cover of a song i absolutely love (although i only got to watch it this morning.)
ps. i miss you all.
pps. i love you just as much as ever kina, i’m so sorry i’ve been slacking off on the blog front.
ppps. i wear your tshirt around campus all the time (the heart hands one) and everyone loves it!
pppps. yayyyyy on interscope and recording!!!! i can’t wait for the cd!! ahhhhh.
ppppps. i’m actually done now :)
November 18th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I love this song and I love your version :D
November 18th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Awesome Job Kina.. My brother loves you… haha. He makes sure to check your page every week. He drove to UCSB just to see you, which is a long drive. Why I bring it up, Every time I call his cell phone I hear you saying “Hey guys, this is Gabe’s phone, leave a message!”
My mom asks every time “Who is this girl on his answering machine?” HaHa
Its spiritual when you can close your eyes to a song and can feel a beautiful warmth stirring inside yourself…
Keep on touching souls Kina :)
pS. I see a couple people wrote about Jack Johnson.. Please do a Jack johnson cover…. He’s my favorite artist in the world. And your my brothers Favorite artist. And if you do that… you would bring a set of brothers closer together for 2 causes… Being awesome and listening to you while being that awesome :P

kinatunes = podcast or just kina music in general?
November 18th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
KINA YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!!
Today has been a sad tuesday and hearing you sing one of my favourite songs by Regina so amazingly well makes me so happy!
– Aside: I never get to see the posts on mondays because I’m usually asleep while hunched over a textbook
Like other people mentioned, a Jack Johnson would be great.
If you did a cover of Learning to Breathe or This is Your Life by Swtichfoot would make my birthday week the most amazing thing I’ve seen in my seventeen years =)
But then I’m sure I’ll like whatever you pick so I’m not worried :D
You’re amazing. you make me smile =)
November 18th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
WEEEEEEE!!! =D i am happy todayidk why?- randomness haha
November 18th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
i think “Dig” by Incubus would be a cool cover. alot of Kina’s lyrics remind me of Incubus songs. not like style-wise, but like hidden meaning-wise…if that makes sense
November 18th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
come to think of it, “I Miss You” by Incubus would be another cool cover… hmmm
November 18th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
HEHEHE Kina AND David are side by side in top rated music on youtube today
November 18th, 2008 at 4:32 pm

which is my good news,
but,
my bad news is that my titchie dog has started the tick tock eyes/body again today and has had to go back on sterioids, a month worth this time, and gained another Vet countdown to doom if it doesn’t do the trick! :(
November 18th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
@Kina
You know what the blog hopping lately reminds me of? The holidays, appropriately enough. Old friends, new friends, lots of good cheer. Seems like an apt comparison.

NOT funny at all! And judging by her comments, she has no remorse whatsoever!
We love you Kina. Keep being the positive role model that you always are!
November 18th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
@thuff7
i can log into the forum fine.. so weird
ya ima just email misa and ask her because i hate the world of anonymousness.. i don’t know anyones name!! lol
November 18th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Kina, I think you’re great. I really do. But please, please, please don’t waste a tutorial video on The Goldfish Song. I realize that it’s everyone’s new favorite, but you can see your hands the entire time. And from the looks of it, you use one chord shape, and about four total chords. I didn’t stick around for the bridge (if there is one), but I’m sure it’s not difficult. Anyone who doesn’t pick up the song from watching your hands wouldn’t benefit from a tutorial video. I don’t mean to sound like a jerk, but the song looks too damn easy for a tutorial video. With that being said, you’re awesome. Keep on keeping on!
November 18th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Oh Man you got a good point
November 18th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
not only did kina crash the superbowl, i think her fans are about to crash youtube’s servers pretty soon.

So to keep this on topic here - this was a beautiful, graceful bird with incredible poise and serenity. Anybody we all know with the same characteristics??? hehehe!!! <3 you kina!

@ Thuff
the beatles cover, “Blackbird” is a great song… a couple buddies of mine in high school sang that song w/ the arrangement done by the King’s Singers… look them up they r a good choral accapela group sustaining only guys… neways it turned out quite well… but i find that as long as it is done properly… ne one can make this song sound good bcuz the song is just elegantly beautiful… neways good request for kina… ive got one as well tho…
@ KINA… i have three requests(obviously u only have to do one, well really u dont have to do either… they r just suggestions that i think fit ur voice very well)…. if u could sing either “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” by John Mayer, “Nothing Fancy” by Dave Barnes, or “Until You” by Dave Barnes….. all of these r great songs…. i have a feeling i will be sending u more requests bcuz i find so many songs that i love that id love to hear u sing as well…neways ur great

@KINA
omg so i just found a new song within a matter of moments as i was looking up one of my favorite artists in Matt Wertz…. another request i could see u singing…. the name of the song is “I Will Not Take My Love Away”…. the lyrics r beautiful and the song is great too…. neways all four songs i requested r great, beautiful lyric songs…. if u could cover one that would be great and awesome, heck if u could cover them all thatd be even more awesome… and if u didnt, thats cool too man, i love listening to nething u post anyways, wuts not to love about ur videos, voice, and ur gorgeous smile and eyes… thanx for being such a blessing.. later

@MasonicPro07
Hey! We have another Wertz/Barnes/Maybe Andy Davis or Jon McLaughlin fan? in the house!
@Kina
I would like to amend my last comment. Maybe in your next tutorial, or some other time, you could reveal the chords for “Back to Us?” It’s a great song, a bit reminiscent of “I’m Yours,” but I’m having trouble hearing the chords over the speaking. I swore I’d never comment more than once on anything….oh well.
November 19th, 2008 at 1:04 am
haha @ Oh Man
You got that right man… i love all those guy and have been talkin to matt about tryin to get them all on tour together once their CD’s r all released(i have an inside connection to Matt through University of Illinois fans… neways i am also aware than MAtt and Dave kinda did some stuff together just a little under a year ago, but he loves those guys soo)… but yea they r all great musicians and vocalists… i am also a huge huge huge John Mayer fan haha… i have no joke all his songs… even his covers and juss little random skit songs he does at concerts… love all these guys… sooo good… u can check my youtube account out to if u wanna see some of my favorite videos…. sooner or later when i get a video camera imma put some of my own songs up… neways heres the link dude:

hi….
i love this song!! never heard of it either!! i goin to have 2 look up d original too!!! u sing it so awesomely!! (if datz a word!!) thanks 4 d shoutout by d way!!!
November 19th, 2008 at 2:38 am
in my honest humble opinion this was the first cover that actually was not better than the original. when you covered on the radio you left me breathless but this time around you left me with too much oxygen! in addition to that, i am disappointed that you say you are a fan of ginas and yet you did not know one of her most popular songs. she was very surprised as was i.
November 19th, 2008 at 4:18 am
When I heard this song I cried and smiled at the same time. Kina really raises the bar. I love renditions because anytime KINA puts her own creative spin it makes the song so much more colorful and amazing. There truly is something about Kina’s creative style that blesses music.
I would love for Kina to play a song from another singer Boyce Avenue. They are found on Youtube and they are also amazing. Boyce Avenue is covering some of the exact same songs as Kina. They are both on the same record labels too so I wonder…is there a coincedence??? who knows?

@brian
they(boyce avenue that is) are a realy good band… good acoustic stuff

@Kina
Wrong war, dearie… had I flown into THAT foray, my Sopwith Camel and I would have certainly been chewed-up and spit-out like so much Spam.
(ok, for historical accuracy that would have been St. George’s Boiled Beef, but we all know how I likes me Spam)

@brian r
no joke - couldn’t agree more. kina’s version of “the call” is breathtakingly sweet. she chooses her covers so well and touches them with her special kina magic. if that doesn’t move you then you are made of stone.
November 19th, 2008 at 6:21 pm

KINA! as always a very lovely cover this week…I just had an idea… the next time you’re in SF you should totally do a show with Jeremy “Passion” Manongdo and Gabe Bondoc. That show would be so awesome…it’d be like the very best from SF and LA joining forces to do one amazing show.
