The best singer I've ever heard on Austin City Limits and the best sister and she is my favorite sister I've known her all my life because I I am her brother

[@billnalder1017]

Awesome dude!...this performance on ACL made me a fan of hers!

[@shable1436]

Daniel Olse. Ive listened to her on the strombo channel and heard something different in her, like an old soul trying to get out. Shes like a mashup of pop 80s female singers but then you hear herself come out and then some orbison 50s type stuff that i only heard when i played in nashville. Im glad shes getting more exposure and im sure she will get even bigger with more. Does she do collaborations with her influences yet? Did you play music and sing together when growing up? What your favorite song of your sis'?

[@fiorellaconstanza4722]

Well, Neko Case sang there.

[@willowufgood261]

I’m my own grandpa

[@blaineharrisonsmith5964]

She actually sounds like herself when she sings, so beautiful

[@user-dc7um4pr3f]

This song is so great. Heard her perform this at pitchfork in Chicago this past year (2021) and it blew me away. I normally don't have the patience for longer songs, but this song really takes you on a journey and it's beautiful.

[@AnthonyMorgan1982]

The band are starting to sound so great. You can see and feel a telepathic sense between them. Reminds me of some of the great live footage of Jeff Buckley.

[@jaredmiller3352]

One of my favorite songs. She sounds beautiful on this love version and looks amazing. What a special talent

[@creamstein]

Something about her always puts me at ease. ✌

[@kayzinti4452]

Saw it in her eyes Oh, it wasn't what she said She came together like a dream That I didn't know I had From the sleeping life I lead All the colors I have seen I can't help but recognize The brighter one in front of me Oh, the truth I thought I learned And then it finally came along Turned around and then it's there All the love I thought was gone I want to know you I want to show you I want to be there I want to see her Piece us together Know it's forever Show me the future Tell me you'll be there I want to go where Nobody knows fear I want to follow My heart down that wild road Everywhere I go I can see your face Alive and gone at once Hey, that's the way I see this place And all this blessing was a curse Before I opened up my heart You learn to take it as it comes You fall together, fall apart I want to know you I want to show you I want to be there I want to see her Live it through your eyes Piece us together Know that this wild road Will go on forever I want to live life I want to die right Next to you Next to you Next to you All my life I thought I'd change (> ∞)

[@sylvainbeaudet988]

Thanks !👍

[@Fpsmexicanninja]

One of my favorite songs from her.

[@dbdmack]

The guitar and harmonies are hypnotic.

[@ivajohnson4541]

Talk about hypnotic I first ever heard this song at a live music festival w/ LSD

[@Tungadunger]

I am hoping that this appearance on ACL busts her open to the mainstream audience that she deserves. A great talent with a great band!

[@michaelbrickley2443]

Tungadunger, doubtful...this ain’t auto tune pop. Maybe in another dimension. First time hearing her and she is GOOD, she is DIFFERENT hut people like her usually influence others. You’ve got good taste to like an artist like her but the world well, not usually...

[@dinastiachowfan1401]

A national treasure.

[@ebenezergoldstein2430]

Amazing performance! Hopefully San Francisco is on the 2018 tour list!

[@acdfrtyhgfderfvn]

This deserves so many more views, wow that was good!

[@crimsonchin2786]

omgoodness angel looks so goood

[@rogersjohnny5202]

[@melissaanne9213]

Amazing. Love her and the band. Great voice.

[@alexandermorris4336]

[@user-hd1dm7hr3f]

Анжелочка красотка!

[@sylvainbeaudet988]

So beautiful song!!!😊👍

[@agstinacueva1673]

effortlessly beautiful and haunting

[@paulsurette5828]

OMG, that smile at 6:43.......that made me melt!!!

[@ivajohnson4541]

Sounds so good live

[@Bigfootbabysas]

Thats how ya do it folks!

[@alitorres1810]

I love her

[@agnieszkadankowska54]

I don’t know about you guys, but I hear in this beautiful number similarities to Stairways To Heaven. In the way how guitars are developing and rasing through the whole song. Love it so much!

[@sirfredrickeggenhauser2795]

That’s exactly how I hear it! Its also similar in that there is pretty much two parts of the song, the first part is slow then it climaxes into an all out epic rock song.

[@VlxWIZzZARDxlV]

Everyone in this band is a virtuoso

[@bernardusmuller1109]

That was incredible!!

[@jvictotoro]

A MELHOR MUSICA DO MUNDO

[@madsdesouza2683]

I died on 6:43 .... r.i.p

[@Tungadunger]

Yes, 6:43 - 6:44 definitely the money shot. Absolute babe!

[@betsymoore234]

So good.

[@christopherhuot2826]

I luv ❤️ Angel

[@alessandrobetto]

I am in love with Angel 😅

[@Diego-ji6ep]

Meu amô

[@bonivermectin4087]

Wow, she's emoting 😅

[@dschlitz588]

unreal

[@AnanasX3]

Are Back Up Vocals by Alex Borstein?

[@Georgetwa]

6:43 is where

[@patriciofernandez2711]

Great song but the band isn't cutting it. The backup singer is just singing unison to Angel, she's not even doing harmonies most of the time.

[@reymontcantil199]

the band is sick my friend

[@joshtalks6684]

gay!

[@sierrabianca]

Angel needs a better band.

[@gasolineandwine]

Except that her band is pretty great, and they follow her very well. Look up "Lights Out City of Music" and Woman @ KEXP. Her band is great.

[@eduardoelizondo6790]

That backup singer is very distracting. And not in a good way.

[@stephendoyle3542]

I love Olsen but this is awful, it sounds like a cover of her own work. Other singer should be fired for this.

[@TKillDomLuizCataleya]

Meu deus cala boca vei kkkkkkkkkkkkk
