-Alison Krauss cover-
Originally from Dumbo I think. . .
For those of you who are up later than you should be. Here's a little lullaby to help you sleep. ;)
Ok, so its a little different and perhaps a little   more...cheezy, but I have always loved this song. And if I could figure out how to seperate the audio I would have put in some pictures of my baby, but I couldnt so I had to settle for putting them in afterwards. Oh, and please excuse the cut part. Sometimes "baby" gets noisy when mom is trying to shoot a video. :P  less

-Jo Dee Messina & Tim Mcgraw- Cover
(I am still fighting allergies so this is not my best work and the end of this song just keeps going on and on, so bear with me.)
I just found out today that the   more...engine in my mail car is screwed (cant work without my car - no clue how we are going to pull that one off), on top of us being waaaay behind in bills to begin with-plus, and oh yea taxes which we owe for some reason this year. . .
But I am thinking positively. . or maybe Im just sticking my head in the sand. I dont know.
My allergies are not as bad in the afternoon as they are in the morning and at night and this song isnt too difficult so I figured I could pull it off without sounding too terible.
Yay, life. :) Just another day in paradise. . . .
*ETA*
Just wanted to add that my problems seem so small when I compare them to somthing like what happened yesterday. Its things like that that really make you appreciate the people in your life that you love. We may not have a lot of money, or working vehicles. . .but we do have eachother. My heart goes out to all the families that lost somone in yesterday's tradgedy.  less

Endlesschi/Dh suggested that I give Evanescence a try. :) I know I dont have a decent mic or anyting. . .And I know Im not Amy Lee, but I tried to stick to the way she sings the song the best I could.
  more...Yea, I had to use video effects. These pregnancy hormones are doing a number on my complexion and I wanted to spare all of you the site and myself the embarassment.
Oh and my cat Keyto. . .he gets worried about me when I get emotional during a song. Hope you dont mind his butt popping up here and there.
Love,
*Maria*
And thanks for watching!  less

:)

Just messing around at the computer the other day after watching one of Lahelen's vids. Never could finish the song. :) I guess I just dont have the stamina or lung capacity for it right now. But it   more...was quite a work out trying anyway!  less

Whiskey Lullaby Collaboration
"Whiskey Lullaby" cover
(Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss)
A remake of the original video response I made to Julian's whiskey lullaby cover. The response to the response   more...to the response to the original video. . . whew, that was a tounge twister. :P
I did my best with the transitions. I had quite a time getting things to match up. Im not exactly working with the best editing software. ;) I guess it came out alright.  less

There was a great summer storm rolling in and I figured Id try to capture the mood. Its dark, but I liked it anyway. And I know I could have played it better, but its been a while since I played and   more...frankly my hand was hurting. :P
So this a cover of Mindy Smith's version of a song that Dolly Parton wrote. And Viscara, I know its not "come to jesus", im still working on the music for that one. Soon, I promise. ;) Hope this is cool in the meantime.
Love, Maria  less

I promised that I would look through my video files and see if I could find anything to post since I havent posted anything new in months. So while its techincally not a "new" video, its new   more...to you guys right? :)
Hope you like it.

"Everytime you say Goodbye"
Alison Krauss  less

One of my origninal songs.
Actually its an incomplete song.
But its been on my mind for a few day now so I decided to record it anyway.
I hope you like it.

"The Garden"
Amarillo willow, sway in   more...the wind.
Are you weak? Will you break?
Or have the stregnth to bend?
The gardens of this life
are so hard to tend
when they're always beaten
and ravaged by the wind.

Oh Eden,
Where have you been?
Decieved in our innocence
And damned for the sin.
Where we are now,
and where we've been,
sheltered in the garden
never touched by the wind.  less

Shot on the farm. . .

Ecocultura had asked me for some more information about the church in my avatar.(where im standing in the doorway) So I went out there with the intention of just shooting some footage of the church,   more...and ended up doing a bit of a blog as well.
And just to let everyone know. I've been battling a cold on and off and right now its hitting me pretty hard. I'll post another music video as soon as I feel better.  less

Its the end of a long day so I figured I'd try to mellow out some and
attempt a Sheryl Crow cover.

A LOVE STORY....song Brooks and Dunn

Maria and I listen to our friend Lea play one of his original songs.

An original song. .

Accapella, I've only heard Alison Krauss do it, but it sounds like an old song so im not sure where it originated. Sorry if I look like crap. :P Maybe I should put on some make up next time or somthing.   more...lol  less

Fire On The Mountain, Cover
Im a little congested so forgive me if I sound a little nasaly.
Hopefully the zicam will keep it from turning into a full blown sickness.
Fingers crossed anyway. :)

Emmylou Harris & Spyboy cover. . .
Written by Julie Miller

I've been tagged! Good thing to cause I was wondering what I was going to do while I was sick. . . .
So the first short poem is by Tolkein,
and the second is an original. Nothing special. .
I tag Endlesschi!   more...and Bobobiggalo!
Have fun guys! :P  less

Since you often see AMVs of Sokka as Dane Cook, I figured the other half of the Avatarded comedic duo deserved some love. So here's Toph as Maria Bamford.

BEWARE STRONG LANGUAGE. I think there's some,   more...anyway. I don't really remember specifics though.

Disclaimer: Avatar to Mike and Bryan, Maria Bamford to herself, hopefully.  less

Another Sunday special. .
This time featuring my friend Lea on the guitar. .

The finished version :D

Em, lets start with the story is really important otherwize the vid wont make any sence.

Jet and Katara are a pair, but Katara isnt happy. She wishes Jet could just hold her *points   more...at the title*, like Aang does. She sees that Jet isnt like Aang, not so sweet, friendly (strong xD) and so on. Katara isnt sure if Aang loves her or not, she knows now that she always *awwww* loved Aang, but she still has a crush on Jet. The situationis complicated yeah yeah. Poor Katara. Okay back to the story: Katara and Aang end up together and *taddaa*: HAPPY ENDING!!! Well, not for Jet but i dont like him much so...doenst matter :D

The somehow dark parts in the refrain is what she dreams. I think this is a -Jetara and +Kataang vid. No Zutara. I didnt did this with Zutara cause...Jetara is more for every side. I dont know much people who like it and i dont like it too – you know i just chose it and you dont have to understand me.

The song is „Just Hold Me“ by Maria Mena. Just an awsome song. This AMV is edited, created and uploaded *Whoah* by me :] Avatar belongs to Mike & Brian and pictures by Nick. Enjoy! Oh and i see now that LV kills the quality. anyway, i hope you still like it.  less

A bunch of songs that didnt quite make the cut. :)
