Friends With Leaves
“Friends with the Leaves” (the song featured in “Happy Holidays from lonelygirl15″) was written by three friends that I met on youtube over the past year. User Ournationalspace and I had collaborated on other songs in the past. He has such an amazing talent. It was his idea to write the song and he orchestrated the project. Users D4shawn and Superfrodies collaborated with Ournationalspace to write this fun, hip tune. User Peas1my1life sent in her video footage and we were on our way. Once the song was completed it was sent to me to record. We had no idea that we were working together on this project until it was finished but all of us played a part in putting together a great song and video.
Youtube has really become a big part of my life over the past year and I have to say the credit goes to lonelygirl15. I did not even know what youtube was until I stumbled upon Jessica Rose / Bree last September in the news after her video blogs were found out to be fake. This intrigued me so I watched every episode to get caught up on the story line and was hooked! This may sound corny but Bree gave me the courage to make videos of my own, whether it be an occasional fan video or music video. I am sure many other fans would say the same thing. I was thrilled when Amanda contacted me about using my song for Inside LG15. I think “Friends with the Leaves” was the perfect choice, especially after seeing the LG15 holiday video once it was completed. The music is so happy and the beat had me rocking along as I watched the the cast having such a good time in their Santa hats! I love making videos and working with people to create something wonderful. I am so happy that my music plays a small part in the Breeniverse!

I remember when Betz first started posting in the LG15.com forums. It was way before any of us really knew about her beautiful voice. Ironically her posts on the forum were always positive and uplifting from the get go, much like her voice.
PS
For those who don’t know already, send Betz a song request and she will perform it for you on her youtube channel. You WONT be disappointed.
