As the camera is centered to where Dylan is sitting, she smiles at the camera. She was in a different setting this time from her last cover video. She sat in her room, the violet/purple paint being seen in the background. She was wearing a blue and white stripped shirt, her wild hair being untamed and her guitar in her lap. "Hey everyone, it's me again. I'm glad you guys enjoyed my last cover video and I'm proud to say that it now has over 25,000 views and counting so thank you so much! As you guys have seen, I made a PureVolume page so I could upload my music for you guys to download, for free of course. I've been able to get some tools to help with recording and I have some helpful friends as well. Im posting my first single this weekend, Saturday or Sunday, depending if the equipment will work right.
Anyway, thanks again for all the love. It's been a dream. I've gotten some amazing followers and even a few celebs have tweeted me nice things, so it's crazy right now (Laughs). I have been doing this for a few years now and I know things will only get harder and crazier from here but I welcome it! I love music, it's my passion, it's my calling you know? I feel the happiest when I'm writing a new lyric or playing my guitar, singing a line from something I wrote. There's no greater feeling than right now. This is my new cover video, a little treat for you guys. This is by one of my favorite artists and it's probably my favorite song from last year. I hope you guys enjoy this, this is 'Brave' by Sara Bareilles."As she begins to strum on her guitar, her eyes begin to almost dart around the room in anticipation. She then catches herself staring into space as she looks at the camera. She has that look of confidence on her face, eager to perform and yet not cocky with her talent. Her voice starts off strong, her unique pipes chiming in the further she gets into the song. She really was born with a talent to sing, something she never wasted. Even though it's acoustic, she manages to keep the uptempo, pop feel to it with her energy and expressions. You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do When they settle ‘neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just want to see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be braveWhen she gets to the chorus parts, she manages to belt it out, almost shocking listeners as they continue to listen to her. She really did give her all when it came to her cover videos. She hoped, just like any other performer on youtube did, that someone, somewhere would see the videos and hopefully sign her so she could continue recording and maybe get a stronger fanbase with it. For her, money and fame came second, but she really wanted to use her talents. She dreamed of being on the biggest platforms, performing her own original songs. Everybody’s been there, Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy Fallen for the fear And done some disappearing, Bow down to the mighty Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is
Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave
And since your history of silence Won’t do you any good, Did you think it would? Let your words be anything but empty Why don’t you tell them the truth?Continuing on the song, she keeps up the tempo and the energy. She even goes so far as to do an acapella part for the second singing of the chorus, then coming back in with the guitar. She continues to pluck the strings as her head bounces back and forth to the beat of her own acoustics. She was able to connect somehow with the viewers even though she didn't know them. Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you See you be brave
I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you I just wanna see you I just wanna see you As she finished the song, she stop strumming and then sighed, smiling. "Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed that, I love that song. Don't forget, I will upload my own personal song this weekend on my purevolume so look out for that. It's absolutely free to download and it's called 'Road Map'. I hope you love it as much as I do. That's all I got so until then, peace!"She throws up a peace sign before giggling and allowing the screen to go black, with her twitter name popping up in white, ' Follow @MsDylanShaw on twitter.com' then it too fades off and ends the video. |

The fact that we write entire albums all on our own while the biggest stars in the world have 45 co-writers on ONE track?? Where the hell are OUR record deals and GRAMMYS?" -BrownSugar |
