Eric Hofmann This is my jam to get pumped to. I haven't been able to exercise as much recently and so Maryanne's return into my life is a delightful surprise. I have a softball game on the night of the show! :( Correction... I'm missing a softball game on the night of the show! :D

Kelly Both your costumes look incredible! And I just adore your voice! Going to the Ice Castle was an incredible idea! It must have been difficult to film with so much white there.... sometimes the light seems odd... but I love the effects! I believe you did an awesome job! And the fact that you always do it from the bottom of your heart and feel so connected to the story really shows! <3 Keep them coming!

Traci Hines Thank you so much Kelly!!! <3 Yes the Ice Castles were so, so gorgeous! Even more so in person! (But I have never been colder in my life! haha!) Yup we definitely had some interesting issues with the lighting- sometimes it was crazy bright because of all the bounce we got when the sun was out, but other times it was pretty dark and shadowy when we were inside some of the castle structures so it was a little bit of a challenge getting the lighting to be on our side haha! Hopefully everyone enjoys it despite any lighting changes -I think with each video we try to get better and better and learn more and more about all the ins and outs of making music videos! Thanks so much for coming on the journey with us and helping us achieve all this snowy magic! I can't wait to show you the videos & songs to come! <3 Sending you lots of love today! xoxo!

Roxanna Silly me - I can't believe I missed getting the jump on this video! I saw it only after it was officially released! I was so happy to see your version of this song. Thank you for sharing it with us. All of the ice castle/ice dress footage is so incredibly stunning - the light, the colors, your costume and wig and makeup, and even the cute special effects, haha! I actually wish that the whole video had been icy and artistic, without the more literal Coronation Dress stuff at the beginning, because the ice castle and your look were just so pretty. I know Elsa isn't necessarily our character "soulmate," but you definitely did her justice. I enjoyed your exploration of why she's so popular, too - I have often wondered that myself - and I do think it comes down to part sparkly dress (of course), part beautiful message. Be who you are, love who you are, embrace yourself and your gifts - it's a simple sentiment, but one that we sometimes need to be reminded of! Long story short, thank you for bringing Queen Elsa to life <3

Traci Hines Thank you so much for the feedback Roxanna! Yeah I totally get where you're coming from- that's why we used so much of the ice footage-it was just too good to split the coronation and ice dress evenly, or go the traditional route and sing most of it in the coronation like the movie. There's a long story attached to the video and concept haha-remind me and maybe I'll regale ya with it next time I see ya! (-; But basically, the Coronation part was supposed to be shot with a drone camera on location, but weather caused that shoot to fall thru, ergo the existing footage. >< (but hoping I can incorporate that drone concept into future videos! XD) I felt strongly that I wanted there to be some form of transformation of character at some point in the video to symbolize Elsa's transformation on the inside-originally it wasn't even going to be so literal w/the costuming, haha. But sometimes things don't go according to plan on these shoots, and this one was particular challenging haha! I had a lot of last minute changes even down to the concept-we went a lot more literal Disney with it than was originally planned. It seemed like all of my best laid plans got an about face every time and so many roadblocks, but, it was actually a really great experience no matter what and such a learning curve. I think it'll help me in future shoots to troubleshoot a lot better-hopefully you can expect even better vids in the future! I have such ambition and high hopes for the videos to come! (Of course, not every music video can be a bigger project like this one, but I mean, for the bigger ones, I think & hope they'll get better and better!) XD Love you so much Anna!!! <3

Roxanna Yeah, it sounded like you went through a lot to get this off the ground - good job being flexible! XD The drone idea is craaa-zayyy but I love it. I hope you're able to make it happen next time - it's so frustrating when plans don't pull through! Not every time has to be bigger and better though, don't worry! Sometimes we like just sitting and watching you sing. :) (Fangirl much? LOL! Whatever, nbd, I'm cool ;).)

Frank Monaco I got the strangest feeling watching and hearing this. Not only are you done up a little like Marilyn Monroe, but the lyrics could very well have reflected her last thoughts. Okay, maybe I'm projecting too much into this, but I go there sometimes. Bottom line: I like it. Thumbs up (without accidentally plucking a guitar string - LOL)

sara fosdick Nataly---the drama you have created with your songs, starting in January with 'waiting room' --yes--the drama is immense--it works to the point where quite a few people have been able to get through horrible lost love breakups just by listening to your words and music. You wrote us all an update along with the song 'haze' that i don't need to repeat here---and you've followed that plan in your writing to this final song. Which seems very final indeed. And you can read where people are so convinced by your performances that they are asking in comments--wait--what? What's going on? --to this song where we hear you say you are 'never coming back'. All these songs seem so deeply heart felt and convincing. They work. They work so brilliantly until now--with this final song you actually don't come back right away to answer your patron's praises. So now people wonder--not coming back to--oh no--or not coming back--maybe-- to US ? You have brilliantly followed out your plan. The songs this year will make an incredible 'side 1' for your album---and your patrons and followers on youtube are left in suspense. Is she gone? My god--tell us! And i have got to say--if you keep going the way you are--this album will have a heart pulse pounding louder than any poem by edgar allan poe. --leaving the question---where is there to go from being gone? i think we'll all stick around for 'side 2'

sara fosdick --these songs you have written project a lot of pain and loss. If the pain is as real as you write--i hope you have purged it by the actual writing of these songs. We all hope that, Nataly.

Perry Carmichael Awesome, as usual. I've an idea for you based in this video. I really loved the crowd shots, moving among the people, etc. Great how they interact and everyone is so happy. So, make a float and ride it in a parade. Film the event, with a new song, of course. I think that would be so cool to watch you make music and move through the crowd. Mardi Gras? Rose Parade in Portland next June? (I'd be able to go to that one....) Thanks Jack & Nat!!

sara fosdick BTW i had an old chic band mate come from out of town yesterday and i was playing your solo work through my media room--no video--just the music. We talked a few minutes till she finally said--"Sara, Dude--Who is this incredible voice ?! Give me that thumb drive to drive back to austin with--i'll buy her album when i get home." She knew nothing of you or pomplamoose or patreon--so of course i educated her of your solo career. another BTW -- i heard you mention ART GARFUNKEL'S 'break away' album. I grew up on his harmonies thanks to my omniscient dad. Art has about 9 solo albums if you don't know---the best is 'watermark' --the entire album is full of songs written by JIMMY WEBB. But i am partial to 'breakaway' songs---'i only have eyes for you' and 'disney girls'. Dad is happy with full memory back now btw. If you don't know who Jimmy Webb is then you should do something about that !

Bob Cunningham I do so love these covers. Simple, clear and uncluttered. Revealing more of the beauty of the song itself. I can hear and understand every word of the lyrics. Something which is all too rare in much of today's pop music. This is music that makes me lean in to the speaker to hear every nuance. Perhaps this should be a new sub-genre in pop: Call it the "Lean-In" version (especially since the "unplugged" meme seems to have faded). Of course, I like both ways of doing a song: I'd never crank this version up and go crazy on the dance floor...
