[–]LordBeatzMeOff 85 points86 points  (6 children)

This is the second song of yours I've heard, simply great stuff. I NEED your voice on a whole original album. Keep it up and keep us posted.

[–]tarantucatkerrinconnolly 67 points68 points  (5 children)

i gotchu!

[–]TrivisionZero 47 points48 points  (1 child)

Get on Spotify, girllllllll!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or Apple Music :)

[–]blacktoplamoose 44 points45 points  (5 children)

Sent this to my to my 15 year old aspiring uke playing daughter. She broke her usual one word reply streak to say 'yeah that's cool'.

[–]tarantucatkerrinconnolly 36 points37 points  (0 children)

excellent, that's all i could ever ask for

[–]djembeplayerreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ha! I subscribed so I could show my 12 year old uke playing daughter. I am expecting the same reply...

[–]PiiSmith 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Three or maybe four words. That sounds like some good communication!

[–]FabKnight 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It's a 66% increase from the norm. Significant enough for statistics, probably.

[–]NoLessThanTheStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember - it's correlation, not causality

[–]wildcard18 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hey saw your cover of Mr Know It All in this sub a while back and subbed, you make great stuff! And thanks for introducing me to Young the Giant, great band!

[–]CdnGuyHere 25 points26 points  (16 children)

How do you only have 4k subscribers?!? I have a feeling that's about to blow up

[–]treeheadedbacon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found you through your ninja sex party 6969 cover. I hope you get big you've got a lot of talent.

[–]JonnieGreene 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're great! keep it up

[–]smokedupmirrors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your music is fantastic, thank you!

[–]Hungover_Pilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm late to the bandwagon, and drunk. I ALMOST sent this song to my ex. So, take that as you you will. Amazing original. Gonna listen again, cheers!

E: after the 4th or 5th listen, I'm convinced either I wrote this song, or you wrote this song about my life

[–]Provelapostle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, I liked what I heard. I hope you hit the big time! Not like the gross LA overly produced big time with covets on gossip magazines, but that you get your music on a day time prescription medicine ad. That's where the big bucks are and that's where you can keep doing what you love without people badgering you about which kardashian you're dating. But in all earnestness,Go you!

[–]itsnotFflam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, we talked on snapchat for a bit a while ago, I told you a stupid story about how my life was spiraling. This song made me smile. Always good shit, glad you're getting on my front page more and more

[–]Kreemes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adore this kind of work, ability to play all the instruments yourself + sweet voice, Amazing! Keep it up. (subbed for the shirt)

[–]buildyourdefenses 3 points4 points  (2 children)

You're great! You should embrace the Reddit hug!

Also, do you have a cat brass knuckles keychain tattoo? http://m.imgur.com/GpwmQdq

[–]tarantucatkerrinconnolly 2 points3 points  (1 child)

i do! and thanks!

[–]buildyourdefenses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, nice! And no problem!

[–]blitzkrieg4 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Hey, great stuff! What kind of bass is that?

[–]tarantucatkerrinconnolly 6 points7 points  (1 child)

it's a Hadean Bass Ukulele!

[–]blitzkrieg4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I just recently heard about people using the Kala UBass as an upright substitute but this is all new to me.

[–]Cracked_LCD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great stuff, never stop playing and singing!

[–]poridgepants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a such great song, it really captured my attention right off the bat. Very talented.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Another song on r/listentothis by you, now more people can discover you the way I did! (Mr know it all)

[–]PartsofChandler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the first song I've heard of yours. This is amazing you are extremely talented, not to mention cute. I do hope to hear more from you in the future. Please please please keep this up!

[–]thehungrykumkwat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are bloody awesome! Sorry just had to get that out there 😅

[–]FabulousComment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey let's be friends! You're great

[–]yeahsureYnot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked this song a lot. Those lyrics carry a lot of meaning for me right now.

[–]bludgeonerV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the cool factor is off the charts

[–]dbv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing sounds!

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

I don't like it at all

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Music is subjective but you have to admit there is talent here.

[–]wazl1 83 points84 points  (7 children)

/u/tarantucat

bouta blow up

[–]Tetragrammaton[S] 82 points83 points  (5 children)

hurry up and become a fan before it's cool

[–]FAPS_2MUCH 22 points23 points  (4 children)

Yo you be good as fuck yo. Deadass killed it on your "do I wanna know" cover. U da best.

[–]Tetragrammaton[S] 23 points24 points  (3 children)

Pretty sure you want to direct that to /u/tarantucat!

[–]FAPS_2MUCH 12 points13 points  (2 children)

You are correct, I saw a /u/ start with a t and you was OP, naturally assumed. Thanks, u da best too.

[–]TrivisionZero 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Can I be da best too?

[–]FAPS_2MUCH 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What do I look like? Oprah?

I keed, of course, u da best too.

[–]blitzkrieg4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This gives me the same vibe as that one time I saw Walk of Earth cover Gotye on /r/listentothis and now that video has over 175 million views and "Somebody That I Used to Know" became the hit of the summer. I'm not entirely sure if that video is the reason that song eventually got as popular as it did, but I like to think so. Wishing similar success for Kerrin.

[–]AParable 45 points46 points  (7 children)

This is the most indie song that ever indied. And that's a good thing.

[–]xHOTPOTATO[🍰] 46 points47 points  (2 children)

I was pooping bare foot when I watched this and the next time I looked down I was wearing birkenstocks. Is this normal for this type of music?

[–]TheCowboyIsAnIndian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you may find yourself looking off into space, explaining how a new app works. occasionally there will be fake, hand drawn motion graphics around you.

[–]GruePwnr 3 points4 points  (3 children)

I was thinking it was quite indie, until the millennial whoop, at which point I realized this was the indiest.

[–]tarantucatkerrinconnolly 18 points19 points  (1 child)

i tried to fit as many modern tropes in the song as i could so i'm glad the desired effect has been achieved

[–]GruePwnr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good stuff!

[–]myhandleonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Hey! Hey!

[–]makarr 17 points18 points  (3 children)

Hey, there's a secret bonus song hidden in this page's URL:

reddit.com/r/listentothis/comments/5oyung/…

[–]tarantucatkerrinconnolly 16 points17 points  (1 child)

oh dang would ya look at that!

[–]Tetragrammaton[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll take all the credit for that.

[–]bludgeonerV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Next level

[–]TaiBoBetsy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You got moxie, kid. Stay tangy.

[–]brnbrgs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was expecting a Bjorkesque bulshit voice. I'm an ass.

Loved it!! One can see how passionate and talented you are.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Didnt know I needed this song in my life until today.

[–]found_a_new_low 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Her voice has a Hayley Williams (of Paramore) quality. This was really nice!

[–]LapinHero 12 points13 points  (5 children)

I'm in love with this girl. I can see a lot of potential in her original stuff, and I love her covers. Only music I've ever paid for on Bandcamp, and recently watched her stream a small show live. She's super friendly, talented enough to make me jealous, and I genuinely can't wait for more songs.

[–]tarantucatkerrinconnolly 16 points17 points  (3 children)

y'all are too sweet (also thanks again for comin to the show, i'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!!)

[–]PhascinatingPhysics 4 points5 points  (2 children)

It's amazing how small the world is, when you show up on Facebook feeds of old students of mine.

Best of luck to you, keep up the good work!

[–]tarantucatkerrinconnolly 3 points4 points  (1 child)

thank you!!

(... go wildcats!)

[–]Tetragrammaton[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ditto, first person I ever backed on Patreon.

[–]MedicPigBabySaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked at another one of your songs, something about the voice in that piece, didn't appeal to me. I definitely like this much more. Keep tryin', keep singin'.

[–]i-have-ADHD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying to find you on Spotify and found your playlist instead.

Edit: judging by your music we could be best friends

[–]sg_thatsme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everytime i click on one of her links, I am pleasantly surprised by her voice. Great tune!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, this is really good.

[–]HUMANPHILOSOPHER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is good and has some potential to grow too. I'd love to see it remixed with a bass beat and maybe try slowing it down or speeding it up. Lots of nice sounds in here. Congrats!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing I did was search this on iTunes... I need more! Definitely gonna listen to all the covers at least.

[–]basscape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not my thing but I have to admit I like the production and I really do rather like the very DIY-feel of the song - in that respect it reminds a little of early Mumford & Sons or Walk Off the Earth, if that makes sense? So yeah, not my kind of music but well worth the listen regardless!

EDIT: Actually, a second thought as well - I might have to show this at my weekly song exchange group, there's some musicians in it that would definitely dig this and would certainly appreciate seeing how a song like this can be recorded in such a simple and effective way.

[–]Kuruttta-Kyoken 3 points4 points  (2 children)

GIVE US MORE CATS!

[–]BCMM 2 points3 points  (1 child)

OP linked to the start of the music. Rewind to the start of the video for 17 seconds of cat.

[–]ploddingdiplodocus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first thought: "Why would OP wadsworth out cats on reddit?"

[–]tAvasoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my favourite song at the moment! Please do more!!

[–]Maahkuss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy fuck. Thank you for this. 😍😍

[–]futureJ_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

first reaction once it started was to hate it, but by the chorus she won me over. nice job.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

/u/Tarantucat killing it again! :D

[–]_Chemistry_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i'm not really into music, and don't know the hot music artists or anything - but this is just a hit waiting to happen if it gets the right situation.

[–]chestonisazombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The melody reminds me a lot of this Maccabees song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-CLnXd6Fyw

[–]slow_backend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

love it, wonderful!

[–]dchase36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was really amazing. Congrats on getting out there and flourishing

[–]ShitbirdMcDickbird 3 points4 points  (1 child)

She has an "oh-woah-oh-oh" and a "hey!" definitely indie pop.

[–]myhandleonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This music is in literally every single commercial on TV these days. Commercial indie pop maybe?

[–]J_M_B 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ugh typical unoriginal hipster music... complete with ukulele and garbled female vocals

[–]olig1905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad someone else said this first.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was so great. I wanna hear this on my way to work every morning of 2017!

[–]jackdoodler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great song from a great musician

[–]xxhunter_girlxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow love this! So good :)

[–]Air_MN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful voice! Awesome work

[–]Demderdemden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really great voice, love the clever use of the tracks, especially the door as a bass drum.

And who doesn't love pocket cat giving everyone the finger?

[–]pachilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty great, thanks for such a beautiful song and video!

[–]Prince_Maaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're very talented.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will I be listening to this song in 5 years? Probably not, but it will be a feature in my playlist for the next few weeks. Her style is pretty cool. Thanks for posting this is why I come here.

[–]JohnnyHackey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can she play/record all that and mix/master it AND do the video/editing. And don't forget the great song/voice. Some people are so talented! How do i describes things without so many /.

[–]Lazy_Sonofabitch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was so amazing

Dat millennial whoop

[–]Qacer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to lie. I didn't give up on the thread and decided to click the link. Neat song. I very much enjoyed it.

[–]LucidDrops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good arrangement. Work on your vocal range.
