Hi everyone, this is Laura Shigihara... you might know me as the Plants vs. Zombies singer/composer. This is my first World of Warcraft machinima, so I hope you like it (please go easy on me) ^_^ I made it because I really want to play as a Blood Elf Druid, and I thought this would be a good way to tell Blizzard how I feel. The music video is about a Blood Elf who goes on a quest to learn more about nature and talk to Druids from around the world.
For those who didn't catch the reference, the elf with sunglasses is "addicted" to Blood Thistle which is an herb that can be found in the Eversong Woods area... it goes along with the whole "addicted to magic" thing I suppose :P

"Blood Elf Druids"
by Laura Shigihara
(verse 1)
My people have been
Cut off from their home and their magic
Though we went through withdrawl we adapted
And found a place to live
We're not all the same
There are those who hold to the past
But if we want to grow we have to branch out
Now's the time to begin
(pre-chorus)
I know what you're thinking:
Magic and Nature can't co-exist
But if you look closer
We can be Blood Elf Botanists
(chorus)
Come on, come on, Blizzard please
I wanna fly above the canopy
Hold my breath for as long as I can
Shapeshift when I wave my hand -- oh oh oh
Little Gnomes can't really tank
Night Elves aren't well-versed in the arcane
But I'm a Blood Elf who's a friend of the trees
So come on Blizzard, make Blood Elf Druids please
(verse 2)
I've nothing to hide
I howl at the moon on a cold night
Swim the deepest sea and like a bird fly
Release the beasts inside
I really like plants
I'm friends with a lot of turtles
Walk Tooga home and never kill Kresh
Explore the world outside
(pre-chorus 2)
I know what you're thinking:
Magic and Nature can't co-exist
But I've read the Field Guide
written by Freywinn the Botanist
(chorus)
Come on, come on, Blizzard please
I wanna fly above the canopy
Hold my breath for as long as I can
Shapeshift when I wave my hand -- oh oh oh
Little Gnomes can't really tank
Night Elves aren't well-versed in the arcane
But I'm a Blood Elf who's a friend of the trees
So come on Blizzard, make Blood Elf Druids please

It's been 10 Thousand years. Come on Blizzard.
Blizzard hasn´t aged well bro :/
@@shionokita3214 I don't see what that has to do with a 4 year old comment.
I can't get enough of this song! I have to watch it every day or my day is incomplete! Keep up the great work!
Blizz has said that eventually they want every race to be every class. The dream is at hand!
This song will not dissapear like tears in the rain.
I think you've done an amazing job and deserve the respect for taking the time to use your talent to share your opinion.
@supershigi Thanks for getting that song stuck in my head so damned many times, I love it.
@AlphaX02 Tauren Paladins. The lore is fabricated nonsense to justify in-game changes. Sooner you realise that the more comfortable you'll be in game :>
It may finally be happening... 12 years later.
Anyone else get extremely nostalgic from this video? It just captures the innocence of early KZhead and user creativity. Even the camera quality hits me in the feels! I first saw this a long time ago and was a huge WoW fan then. God, the memories!
Awesome love the music and everything about it
Seriously one of the best WoW songs in a long time, beautifull voice!!!
Awesome job as always Shigi!
oh, wow. just found this on spotify. this is one of those old wow songs that is just... amazing. 10/10, beautiful.
hehehe laura you really write and sing some of the most peaceful and melodic songs I've ever heard, as well your harmonies are just awe inspiring. your lyrics are always on the mark and wonderful. I have yet to hear a single song of yours that I didn't like, and your voice is one of the most pleasent I've ever heard in a long time. You are a skillful musician, and I can't wait for Melolune. Thank you, I never thought I would be listening to a song about WoW to relax
I love this song and everything you have done so far. It amazes me how much talent you have where even your hobbies benefit from it!!
I haven't played WoW in years but I'm seriously tempted to jump back into it now. You have a wonderful voice and I haven't been able to get this song out of my head for a day. Amazing work!
I love WoW. I'm definitely a geek about this and it would be cool if they had druid as one of the classes for the Blood elves
I so love this girl.
Your songs create such a warm feeling... Even if they are about games, I love the minecraft - from the ground up song, I've listened to it about 5 times today!!
Brilliant....love it. Keep up the good work.
damn the catchiness of your music had this song in my head all night at work, you make very enjoyable music
Love it! I grinned at the blood thistle reference - clever!
I love this song, I've been listening to it all week and I haven't gotten tired of it yet :)
You are a genius. You turned a topic that could be totally nerdy into something legit lovely. Am impressed xD
Wow so much effort in a request. I heard this song for the first time 2 days ago. I have played it at least 30 times. I hope to hear more from you soon (with you singing). Also, I love the clip. It really adds to it.
I miss playing WoW those days sm :’(
*Listens to this on loop for two hours. Doesn't know why. Enjoys it anyway.*
thank god TB's here to chase away the heartless trolls. this vids an instant favorite Laura!
wish youtube had a rewind option on videos, awesome song and amazing soft voice!
This is a cute and fun machinima. You have a beautiful singing voice, Laura. :)
Incredible Video. Vibrant Music.
You might actually get your wish here within the next few expansions according to an recent interview
Still a fabulous composition!!!Love it!!
This is amazing!
Such a great song and a sweet video. I already thought you were cool and talented when I only know you for singing/composing the PvZ song, now I think I'm becoming a hardcore fan !
This got stuck in my head at random this morning. Haven't listened to it in a while, but it really did stick with me. It's just a great song.
You got such a beautifull voice and the sweetest face I've ever seen! So speaking! So good in expressing feelings and words! I'm sure you will kick it very very far once the rest of the world has watched your videos and met you! No doubt! Keep going!
@Wunder (psst, all that was made up and contrived to justify in-game changes, just like the rest of the lore since WoW's launch)
WOOT! Belf Druids! I love the song! You are very talented.
You are amazing! Love your songs, totally agree!
Excellent Vocals and wonderful video!
Amazing voice you have, I really hope next expansion or something blood elves can be Druids. The warrior class for blood elves was strange since they use magic almost all the time.
8 years after... even when she asked nicely XD
If you decide to stage a blood elf druid support march, my blood elf will come! Love the concept, love the song, thanks for sharing it with us!
Brilliant....love it.
love the song, hope blizz hears you out!! For the Horde!
Dear Laura, I can't stop hearing your song over and over again! I think blood elf druids are a nice idea, and it is not the first time it hopped on my mind :) Anyway, I like how you combined the random shapeshifts (my personal fav is Aurelia in Silvermoon). You also look adorable, if Blizzard doesn't hear you, aw they are heartless. Much love from Croatia! :)
A month out from Dragonflight with Blizzard saying they'll introduce more race/class combos... there's a chance!
Absolutely fantastic! If this is your first Machinima then I'm going to have to demand you continue. You're voice is perfect. If a Blood Elf could sing this is what it would sound like.
Awesome song!! The PvZ "There's a Zombie on your La a awn" was stuck in my head for MONTHS. And this is just as if not even moar awesome! :D
you have an awesome voice! ^^
WOW!!! simply perfect
I'm a fan. Cheers totalbiscuit!
Awesome song. I really liked it. You have a great voice.
Love it! Grats!
Laura you are one talented genious. I just love your music.
You have such a beautiful voice. :3
Luv your song(s). This makes me wanna try the game...
Wow, you have a very beautiful voice, I'm hooked on this song XD
You've probably already heard this from them, but my cousin works at Blizzard south and he said that everyone there loves your video :) Personally, I've been addicted to this song all week and I can't get enough of it! I hope you make more like it... Laura you're awesome!
love your voice
Love it, Laura :)
Love this and you
You're so amazing!
That's a really really sweet song! Nice way to get blizz to actually grant a wish. First time seeing one of your vids, so, if that's you in the vid, Thumbs Up! +1 more fan to your list :)
I love your voice !!!!
so cute!!good job Laura
Your reaction when you noticed the PvZ references in WoW? You kinda DID compose the music for PvZ, what are your thoughts on the Sunflower? It even occasionally sings the phrase "There's a zombie on your lawn" You ARE the original composer, was it funny to you? :D Btw, LOVE your music. All of it. PvZ, Cube Land, all of 'em I've heard, I love. ^_^
*All THAT I've heard, sorry if that was confusing
I know this was posted a year ago, but you know she voiced the sunflower pet in WOW right? That lil sunflower in WOW is using her voice.
X3 Awwwwwwww!
Awesome!!
WOW you have such a beautiful voice! This song makes me want to roll a Belf druid, I hope Blizz makes that a race/class combo in a future expansion.
any time i listen to this song, i always feel something deep inside and it makes me wanna go back on " >>World of Warcraft
you earned a place in my favorites :D! and its rare i put anything in there! XD
Love your idea love your looks ;)
:) thanks for sharing this song with us
Let's hope this song makes it into patch 6.1
Still praying for Patch 8.1
Love your voice
Wow, you're pretty good! I loved your portal theme! ^^ I enjoyed this video, b/c I play WoW and I have two blood elf characters; one a mage and the other is a pally
oooh i love your voice!
we didnt get bloodelf druids, but... another turtle made it into the water.
love it
This is awesome :)
Absolutely adorable.^^ Good luck with the crusade for a BE druid.
Well done! Very nice.
This is awesome!! It SCREAMS for a rap remix!! :) I could easily see that!! :)
Love it! :D
All of that being said ... I Rated Favorited and Subscribed ^_^ Lovely song
Lovely song !!! I like it :D
Awesome!
The time has come
awesome!!
I love playing a druid, versatility and cuteness combined =)
Haha, awesome! Well done Laura. :)
thank you for this song! XD
beautiful
It would be amazing to have my druid be a blood elf! :) Your pitch is amazing!
This is a wonderful song, and I'm not a Warcrafter:) I got steered here through Winda Benedetti's article--and I'm not regretting it:) You got one beautiful voice, and you look beautiful as an elf. Almost reminds me a little of the NCIS Season 4 episode "Witch Hunt," where character Timothy McGee was also an online RPG guy who was a "snow elf," and he got ragged through the episode as "Elf Lord":) George is a VERY lucky man and he'd better know it:)
Really good job! If this makes Blizzard let Blood Elves Druids, I'll have to sing for Gnomes Paladins! Good job again, Shigi I love your music! :)
You have a beautiful voice! Make more :)
There is no reason I can think of that you are not a famous singer selling millions of records, you have a GORGEOUS voice, and you love wow, how can you go wrong!!!!! I am so impressed!
cool another great song first listened to the plants vs zombies song like someone else said a great singing voice you have
