Well it's hard not to feel a little silly posting this, but I've decided to try to not feel dumb anyway. I guess the other videos of me singing or with my guitar have been messing around with my kids and it's a little weird to show these videos of me just by myself. I keep thinking things like, "huh, do I really do that with my lips when I sing?" Anyway, here's a fun song by Ingrid Michaelson called "The Way I Am," that I figured out this summer. I play it almost like a bass guitar and tap the guitar at the bottom with my hand to give it some percussion. (Ignore the vibrating of my low E string that needs to be replaced. :)
This second song is by Brandi Carlile and is called "The Story". I love how she sings softly and then gets really loud at points. I tried to do that a bit, but I guess I'm more of a folky singer than a rocker. :) I've been really into Sondre Lerche as well, but he's so amazing on the guitar I'm not brave enough to show my versions of his songs.

You need to call Old Navy and tell them you will do their next ad! I am very impressed...you sound awesome.
Wow! Way to go! I love the songs. They are now on the top of the playlist that continuously runs through my head, so it's a good thing you've got such a nice voice. Awesome, awesome stuff, Kare! Thanks.
You really do sound great! One day when we are next door neighbors we should start a band. You could sing and play guitar, and I could dance, or play the tamborine!
I LOVE this post! But Gwen loves it more. We've watched your videos about 4 times in a row now. Gwen just gets really still and sits on my lap and watches it. So we need to come visit you soon - and you can go a live show for us. :-)
Kristen and Nanette say YOU ARE AWESOME and we want to hire you for our next party!

You're so cool. Tommy said if there was a concert and you sang, he'd go. High praise from an almost 7 year old. =)
Seriously, you're still my hero. Just hearing you sing and play makes me want to sit down and write songs. Maybe I'll get a camcorder again someday and be like you! Happy thought.
