In Waiting For Beautiful is the lyric 'You're waiting for wonderful .. All the time you're missing this'? Or is 'this' not in it?

Michael

October 20, 2011

I really really wish we could see they lyrics for Waiting For Beautiful. One section I listen to over and over again is ...
You're waiting for beautiful.
You're waiting for bliss.
You're waiting for wonderful.
All the time you're missing this.

But is there a "this" at the end of the last line or am I wrong? Would love to know.

Karla,
I was stoked to work at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival this year and you are the only famous person I can remember working with. I know, that sounds terrible, but what can I say? You are so beautiful and I can't wait to view one of your performances seeing as I worked so much I missed your stages at the Festival. If you are around Etown for Fringe come find me by the gazebo at Tupelo Flo's tent. Hope you are well. It was a pleasure meeting you. Take care Buh bye for now Christine

I am not sure if you remember me but you were my instructor and Wordsworth camp a couple summers ago in the songwriting class! I am doing a paper on you for my english class and I was wondering if you would be available for an interview either on the phone or email or whatever works! Anyways hopefully we can get in touch!

UK fan - Keat Liew

March 30, 2011

As a fan for a while, can I just say how happy I am that your album is finally available on iTunes. I know I am merely reiterating what many others have said but "What Else Can I do" never fails to move me.

Michael

Count me as someone who would love to see the lyrics to Waiting For Beautiful. :)

Hi, Karla. Love yor rendition of Bye Bye Love. I hahave been trying to purchase it and can't locate it. Could you please advise?

Michael

September 24, 2010

Your fans and supporters have been asking for "Waiting For Beautiful" for years now. Can't we find out when, if ever, it will be released? Is there a rights issue because of JOA or something like that? Some news would be great.

Marilyn Colton

September 19, 2010

I just bought The Embassy Sessions and have be playing it non stop. Having recently lost my husband, I find many of the songs speak to healing and recovering from loss. Thank you. I am hoping you will record Waiting For Beautiful sometime soon.

Norm & Jo

July 17, 2010

Just watched your GREAT performance at the Grand. Still hoping you will come to Toronto one day. We have a venue here called Hughs Room (www.hughroom.com) that would be perfect for your music. btw your Grand show was NOT on CBC nationwide but i found it on Rogers cable 131 CBRT (timeshifting channel) You may want to post that in case CBC ever reruns the show

May 28, 2010

Tonight I had my first opportunity to hear you perform live at the Mishah Ocean Foundation benefit at Spruce Grove and all I can can say is one word- STUNNING! Only every few years or so, will I hear a singer songwriter that will sound so completely fresh, with sensitive and captivating lyrics that will completely turn my head around. The last time that happened to me was with Ryan Bingham and tonight he has been knocked off that podium by you, Karla. Your 2 CDs that I bought tonight are now in my library playing in continuous rotation for probably forever!

Jay Sandmaier

April 12, 2010

i still want to drive the bus!!

hope all is well, miss u and love you lots.

Amy Boettcher

April 11, 2010

Thanks for coming way the heck to Grande Prairie. We didn't know until the day before we left that you were playing in Edmonton the day before, but it was way worth the drive. My entire family enjoyed the show, and we'll look forward to another chance to watch you perform. And man, can that fellow play the guitar!

Lauren Warrack

April 3, 2010

I just bought your new cd today & already I love it! I'm particularly loving Glory Bound. My 14 year old son has been going through cancer treatment and it speaks to me so clearly of his suffering and what I can only hope will come of it. I notice that the lyrics to that one aren't on the website - any chance you could post them?

Karla, I saw you years ago at the Nickelodeon folk club in Calgary when you just had demo discs out. Your songs made me cry then and they still do (but that's a good thing!). Best always, Lauren

Hi Carla. I just heard your perf on Allison's show today. It was so beautiful it moved me to walk right over to Dan and hold him. It moved me to tears...thanks for the wonderful music... see you down the road sometime.

Karen Boulay

February 20, 2010

I attended Shawn's memorial service last night and was not only amazed by the love and compassion of the friends and family but also absolutely loved your song. I recently lost my dad to cancer and the story you shared of how the song came about and the song itself touched me deeply. Thank you.

Kathy Dawson

February 15, 2010

So happy to read that you're going to tour more. I think your two albums are outstanding, you are indeed glory bound, if not already there :) See you in Edmonton on March 18!

Pam Schmunk

Love your music. Love your lyrics.
Heard you at the Northern Lights Folk Club.
I suggested "Out from Under" as the curtain call song for one of my students who directed a show called POOF (Lynn Nottage) about a woman who escapes spousal abuse.

Hey Karla - We are coming to Canmore on the 28th of Nov. to see

November 20, 2009

I'm really enjoying the "Embassy Sessions" cd - the recording's great, the musicians are very talented, and your voice is comfortable and assured. The cd reminds me of the Cowboy Junkies, but better!

Sure glad I found you!

Karen

October 26, 2009

At previous difficult times in my life, there has always magically been a song that is very pertinent to what is going on - and gets me through. That song for me right now is Enough Love. Amazing lyrics and melody - that you for your amazing talent. Hope to see you at the Ironwood in November.

Terry

October 22, 2009

YOu wowed me at CAlgary at Southwood - I just wanted more! I'll be watching for your next visit to Calgary - looks like Nov29. Mix97.7 plays your stuff a lot-makes my day everytime I hear it.

Debbie Sands

October 5, 2009

Karla! You totally rocked Okotoks!! Your huge talent and warm personality impressed everyone. Everybody there loved you and can't wait for you to come back! Let us know next time you're in the Southern Alberta area and we'll be there. Loved Tim, too!

Love, Debbie

WOW. Just heard you for the first time.
I'm going to Megatunes tomorrow to buy everything you've made. My friends are going to get sick of me talking about your music!

Angela L

May 28, 2009

your voice...music...& beautiful spirit will forever touch the hearts of others. How blessed I feel to have your music in my life. :)

Sharon

May 26, 2009

I heard your "blanket song" for the first time today on the radio. I stopped in my tracks, stunned to tears. One of my very favorite people in this world is going to pass on soon from pancreatic cancer and I can't be there to help comfort or say goodbye. Your lyrics perfectly described what I was feeling and the reasons I want to fly to England to see her. We have made a "Build a Bear" for her with a special recorded message of love inside and now your CD will go along with the bear to describe the love, peace and comfort we are sending. Thank you for saying what I could not find the words for. I'm eternally grateful.

Mariel

April 14, 2009

I saw you perform at a friend's apartment last fall for a benefit, and since then I haven't been able to stop listening to your CD. Your song "what else can I do?" has gotten me through a lot. My mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer December 2007, and after a long 12 month battle, she passed away. Throughout my life, my mom has always told me that you know that the man your with really loves you when he brings you a blanket to keep you warm. While my mom was sick, that's all my dad felt like he could do for her. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for writing such a beautiful song. It will forever tie me to my mom and dad.

Morgan

March 4, 2009

Hi, Karla. I was just watching a very old episode of "Party of Five." At the end of the episode, your song, "What Else Can I Do?" played in the background. I was so moved by it that I've been listening to it almost exclusively for a few days now. You have an exquisite voice that is coupled so nicely by the song's beautiful lyrics. I just bought your CD, The Embassy Sessions, and I can't wait to listen to your other songs.

Hopefully one day I can see a live performance.

Debbie Sands

February 14, 2009

Karla, I love your music! I plan to go to Bragg Creek in May. How about coming to Okotoks? We have a Performing Arts Centre now (old church building). Perhaps we could get you on next season's concert list? I can talk to the guy in charge (or my husband can!).
Best wishes and good luck on the tour. Debbie

leese

February 14, 2009

Im in the UK and have for first time heard What Else can I do (blanket song). Can I say its absolutely amazing/awesome. Your voice and the melody brought me to tears (current situation).

The lyrics can't be any better and its almost etherial. Its in my head forever and I love it to bits. Thanks to youtube I can hear it everytime I come online.

Can't say another song except Sia's Breathe Me has affected me so much in such a short time. You have a wonderful gift there.

Blessing and peace: leese

G.Miller

February 11, 2009

Hi Karla, Well, that is the 2nd time you've made me cry. Listening to your song on utube, What else can I do, that was the 2nd. The 1st was when my girlfriend who is getting a divorce and I saw you live, Come into my kitchen, you sang Bye Bye Love. We both cried very hard. Crying is good, gets it out. Somehow it says it all. You have such a beautiful uncluttered voice, Thank-you. Hope to see you again.

Valerie Soto

January 8, 2009

I saw you at the Comox Valley Music Fest a couple of years ago. I attend every year and each year I wonder what my "festival moment" will be. You were it for me that year. Your song "What else can I do?" touched my heart and left me weeping of course. After your performance you gave me a big hug and knew just where that connection to your lyrics was coming from. It was a "blanket" hug from the heart and I thank you for that. I of course rushed right over to the CD tent to buy your cd and still love it. Are there plans for another cd soon? I hope that you will come back to the Comox Valley Music Fest in the future. If you ever have any concerts planned on Vancouver Island I hope that you can let me know.
I send you a big hug and hope to hear more of your musical journey.
Much Love

Alison

Jenaya Clark

November 16, 2008

Just wanted to say how happy I am for you that your music career is going so well. I remember staying at your house when I was twelve and listening to you play your guitar and sing in the back yard. I've always thought you had a lot of talent. Aunty Pam gave me your five song demo a few years ago, I listen to it all the time. I always forget to ask her to bring me your CD when she comes out here. I'd love to come to a show next time you play on the island, or maybe we'll make it out to Alberta one day and can see you there. Take care.

Jenaya

Heard you at Jack Singer in front of Manhattan Transfer. You are amazing. "Bye bye love" almost made me cry.

Carol

October 25, 2008

Was at Mathattan Transfer too, My husband and I enjoyed you lots. I found myself singing along to "What else can I do", but didn't know where I had heard it before, then found out you were on the "Alberta Bound" programme. It obviously stuck! I have just bought your CD which I am looking forward to hearing when it arrives. Keep up the excellent work!!

Marvin Matthews

October 24, 2008

Similar to the last two comments, I was also at the Manhattan Transfer concert on Oct 23 (my birthday), and walked away mesmerized by your voice and songs. You have a special talent, and I look forward to seeing / hearing you again soon. Thank you Karla.

Willow Brocke

October 23, 2008

I also saw you for the first time at the Manhattan Transfer Concert and thought you were fantastic. Your lyrics were raw and real, your voice was soulful and beautiful. Thank you for following your heart and singing!

Bev Montieth

October 23, 2008

Saw you open for Man. Trans. tonight. You were amazing!! They were good but I could have listened to you all evening. Can't remember the name but especially loved the song you did right before "Bye Bye Love". Looking forward to hearing more from you.

March 18, 2008

Hi I love the blanket song. I saw you at the pioneer place a few years back myself and my three sisters really enjoyed the show. I also saw you at the coffee place in stony plain I was playing and singing there myself. I only went a couple of times but it was fun. Have you ever gone to fiddlers roost? I think they have open mike on Thursdays its a lot of fun and there are a lot of talented people there. I am moving back to B.C in mid April. There is a big out door show in Kaslo in August I think some very interesting places to play all around B.C maybe you could give the interior of B.C a try for all of the festivals in the summer you would have a lot of fun.

Jim Backs

March 16, 2008

Karla. Karla. Karla. When can we look forward to your release of a new CD. Thank God I'm old enough not to hold my breath until you do.
Be warned that I will use that tactic as a last resort if we have to wait too much longer.
Looking forward to attending your next "gig" and hoping it too will be soon.
Yours,
One of your growing fan base..

I heard you tonight at the Royal, and you Kevin Welched me. That is, there is no way that dude's next cd could be better than the last, because how do you top sublime? But he always does.

The new songs you played for us tonight were fantastic. I can tell already the next cd will top ES, and I lurrrve that cd. So ...... :)
