Hi KINA IT WINZY-WIN, REPPING WIN-RECORDS/SHADY VILLE/G-UNIT RECORDS GIRL YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL AND THE SONG IS HOT GIRL ONE DAY WE GOT TO WORK TOGETHER TO ON A CLASSIC HIT RECORDS! YEP ONE LOVE STAY BLESS GIRL ONE LOVE!....POW

Thanks for your response to my comment! The most important reason why I joined the Street Team and ordered Stairwells was your immediate response. That is, one or two days after discovering you on Valentine’s Day I wrote an email to you and immediately received an answer from you. So I thought wow, she really cares! This is why.

I didn't think you were rambling at all! Didn't know you then but it was very cool to see the (mute) video. You mentioned that this was on YouTube - care to share the link...? :) Or maybe you did in the description, will check! Now I'm rambling. :) Best of luck! Looking forward to more TBTs!

Down and Gone is definitely one of my (many) favorite Kina classics! 😆 I'd like to nominate Please Remember for next time, since that one hasn't had much time in the sun yet and it's one of my all time faves! Even though I get the overall picture of what it's about, you can explain what you felt like you were missing out on while you were down under. Btw, I'm still interested in your explanation of the first line in Impermanent, if you have the time. P.S. - of course we love your chatting at the end of the vid!

Really lovely song and great idea to do TBTs. As a new fan I have not heard it before.

My (former) best friend is the one who introduced me to your youtube channel about 8 years ago, actually. She was literally my only friend through high school years (it's hard making friends as a homeschooler in the country, not many people to talk to ^^; ). It was mostly a penpal thing, but we got to hang out a couple times. She really took care of me when I was down, and I tried to do the same for her. We were close until a couple years ago; to this day, I can't tell what happened. She cut off all lanes of communication one day, and never said another word to me. She's alive and well, just doesn't seem to want anything to do with me anymore. Still wonder how's she's doing most days. In other words, you just made me cry a bit in public, but I forgive you. That was a great retake, I'm actually really looking forward to the next one! Please don't be afraid to talk in your videos, we love to hear from you!

Sounds great Kina. I really enjoyed hearing you sing the song and loved hearing you chat about it too. Hoping for more of this kinda thing in the months ahead. Thanks :)

i love thinking about it like that! and in a weird way, it kind of is like a cover, huh? i have changed and evolved so much in the last 10 years, personally, vocally, experientially, etc, that it really is like taking on someone else's song about their current life and re-applying it to my own!

thanks jim! and never apologize for sharing your story! i'm honored to hear it. and i'm sorry to hear about the lost friendships :( it can be so hard. thanks for all the kind words and for always being so supportive!

Love this version. It's honestly like hearing you cover someone else's song because it sounds new and fresh with your current voice. And - I don't mean that in a bad way! - I just mean that you always sing from your heart, regardless of whether or not the song is yours or someone else's. After marinading in the lyrics once again, it made me think of the email Jesse sent you that you recently posted. Now I have a new appreciation and understanding of what this song means, thank you! :)

I love this video so much and I am smiling so huge right now! so wonderful to hear a beautiful song from your past that actually predated my discovering you by three years. it's been awhile, if ever, since one of my days has gotten off to this great a start! as for you talking at the end, I can't figure out for the life of me why anybody would ever want to stop you from talking. I can't even imagine how such people could even exist! I get so sad when your vids have to end because I always wish you could go on talking indefinitely! it's like when your visiting with somebody you care so much about and then you have to leave. hearing your sweet soothing voice and seeing your wholesome, natural beauty are absolutely therapeutic for me and do wonders to help me forget about my troubles for awhile. so please don't ever feel the need to apologize to me for talking because it would be tantamount to apologizing for making me so happy! as for lost friendships or relationships? well, let me put it to you this way: I am probably the king of lost friendships/relationships, many of them I still don't know what I did wrong. and, sadly, the vast majority of them have never been repaired. but I think that's as far as I'll discuss this because I don't want to put a damper on your lovely vid! now I'm the one who's rambling, lol. I guess I should apologize to YOU for that, lol. thanks for allowing me to have this forum! and last, but definitely not least, I am so super stoked to hear the new song you wrote! ❤️❤️❤️ love, Jim
