Hey everyone :)

I've been getting this request for years, I don't know why it's taken me so long to finally do it! Hope you enjoy it  :)

I gotta make this brief today because I'm prepping for an audition today! I don't do these often (I've probably been to 5?) but it's a good way to me to get out there and do something that scares the pants off of me. Wish me luck!

Also,  go watch the original music video for "Iris" because he's just sliding around a watch in a chair tower gazing through a zillion telescopes and it's very entertaining.

Thank you for supporting my music!! Talk soon!

Kina

p.s. for those that like to plan in advance, I'm tentatively holding Sunday March 26th around 10am Pacific Time for our next hangout :)

And best of luck on your audition, though I think it's talent that will get you through. 🙂

I should have guessed this song...there's just too many great songs from the 90's...ah, I'm old ;-) Anyway, you've really outdone yourself with this one, Kina. I love the original of this song, but you somehow managed to both make it your own and make it something new and exciting at the same time. The peaceful vulnerability you've given it takes on such power when juxtaposed (yes I just used juxtaposed...10 points for me lol) with the lyrical content of the song. I love, love, love this! And, who in the world wouldn't choose you for a part? You've got that audition in the bag! I wonder what it's for... Blessings to you and Jesse and happy Friday :)

Love the song and love you for doing it!

My brother's takeaway from the Iris video back in the day was prompted by the part where they're jamming out in the middle of the street somewhere - "that's a funny looking speed bump". :D Somehow I have a distinct memory of Johnny Rzeznik being interviewed about this song, talking about the lush orchestra backing and how they couldn't go back in the garage after that. The massive success along with the loss of the past seemed bittersweet to him, although maybe that's just the romance of the song infecting my perception. A piano is the lushest single instrument (maybe cello) but still, with all that in mind it's crazy how much I love the stripped down arrangement! Kudos to yourself and Jon, you really maximized the potential here. We are buried in snow in the north east so no squirrels, but the stark beauty of the frozen landscape matches that of this performance, I think! Have fun with your terrifying audition! So to speak! :D

That was beautiful. I don't why but towards the end of the song tears started rolling down my cheeks.

Very nice. How long into your career did it take you to collect all of the audio equipment?
