i'm not even into this kind of music, but oh god, THIS is a live performer, the whole show is exclusively on her back and she carries it like it's NOTHING, recording loops, chatting, calling people to sing along... i love this woman, we need more people like this in the world

[@rosaria1056]

Totally agree with you

[@atenachos6282]

Guess what, you're into this music.

[@armandbourque2468]

Sexy af, too.

[@ElliSnow-bg2jb]

There are a lot of them out there, driving around in a beat up station wagon or mini-van, playing small venues or busking in every town they come to. You just have to look for them.

[@NoferTrunions]

I think KT is one of the most under appreciated out there.

[@techmanfriendscrafter7767]

She’s awesome

[@CaSh-H]

So underrated she is so so talented

[@rich-rp4ep]

One of the best live acts I’ve seen! She’s so talented!

Hugely talented woman, and kudos to her for playing in that old people’s home.

That has to be the best live performance of that song I’ve seen and this crowd didn’t deserve it.

[@lucasxavier3564]

And yet she tried hard to engage them ....

[@mplsgordon2]

Watching this I remember buying tickets to see The Nolans for a British family I was friends with. Hammersmith Odeon, a large old style theater. The girls are up there singing their best and the crowd politely applauded from their seats. First, I stood up and made my friends stand up also. Singing along, clapping, and of course the people behind us had to stand as well to see. I led the family down the aisle, up to the front and into the orchestra pit. And the Nolans are laughing and pointing to us. It took a while, but people joined us and we had great fun for the last half of the show. Close to the end Bernie pointed to me and said, "Could you follow us the rest of the tour? We'd find tickets for you." I smiled back and blew her a kiss which she returned. I mean, K.T. didn't sing a song. She put on a great show, and the crowd were like the one back in 1982.

[@pagefire2]

Check out Melanie from 50 years ago

[@rabbbie99]

She used to do open mic nights as a teenager in some bars in my village in Scotland. Who knew when we were sitting drinking pints we were being entertained by a future superstar.

[@videographiya]

She's definitely breaking sweat to wake up this dead audience. Amazing artist!

I kinda feel like in the states people would have just talked over her. I think these people were trying to listen.

[@phillipesuper]

Her face is a map of the world Is a map of the world You can see, she's a beautiful girl She's a beautiful girl And everything around her is a silver pool of light The people who surround her feel the benefit of it It makes you calm She holds you captivated in her palm Suddenly I see (suddenly I see) This is what I wanna be Suddenly I see (suddenly I see) Why the hell it means so much to me? (suddenly I see) This is what I wanna be Suddenly I see (suddenly I see) Why the hell it means so much to me? I feel like walking the world Like walking the world You can hear she's a beautiful girl She's a beautiful girl She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember What you heard She likes to leave you hanging on a word Suddenly I see (suddenly I see) This is what I wanna be Suddenly I see (suddenly I see) Why the hell it means so much to me? (suddenly I see) This is what I wanna be Suddenly I see (suddenly I see) Why the hell it means so much to me? And she's taller than most And she's looking at me I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine She makes me feel like I could be a tower A big strong tower, yeah The power to be The power to give The power to see Yea yea (Suddenly I see) She got the power to be The power to give The power to see Yea yea (Suddenly I see) She got the power to be The power to give The power to see Yea yea yea (Suddenly I see) She got the power to be The power to give The power to see Yea yea (Suddenly I see

[@bricksthatcanmove9679]

Its actually hanging an a wire, not word (not like that matters)

[@ronmorey3475]

What an absolute pro performer. She worked her ass off to get that sleepy audience to give her all of whatever energy they could muster. Her enthusiasm was infectious and bulletproof.

[@cpt.taselbymc8400]

My younger sister would listen to KT Tunstall on repeat. It makes it hard to come back to these songs nearly 4 years after she died.

[@joshilayz]

Damn! That must be heartbreaking. But ur sister lives through these songs! May her soul rest in peace!

[@deckearns]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you are ok.

[@MZ-mu6om]

R.I.P to your sister, bless your heart my friend ❤

[@califlover49]

Love her energy, true artist.

[@wolfgang6442]

Yeah she's one of a kind

[@sschmidtevalue]

Now THAT's talent. No need for autotune, unlike some "artists" that are around. And she can sing, play, and manage the loop pedals all at the same time.

[@tlenkeeb829]

Ed Sheeran gets credit for this type of performance and fills stadiums around the world and breaks records . This woman was doin it years before and writes better songs and can sing better. Fuckin brilliant and an underrated live artist.

[@love-vy1ry]

You have a severe misunderstanding of autotune

OMG, wft! 10/10 to KT for keeping up the enthusiasm during this amazing performance. This audience look like their pacemaker‘s are about to take their last beat. Kill me before I get that lifeless !!!!!

[@aloinosantana3071]

Woooooooooooow 😍😍😍 beautiful 👏👏👏

[@KITLEVEY]

Another worthy performance - this time done uphill into an audience of sand. She always nails it no matter the circumstances.

[@everythingin.401]

KT Tunstall and this song were what this world needed. So glad she exists

[@CarlosSanchez-ms7zu]

Theres something about the way she performs is electric and just beautiful❤

[@lmamakos]

I love seeing these live performances, so raw and unfiltered. It must be hard for an artist doing a live performance and not getting much of anything back from the audience. Some of these audience members seem to be there against their will? WTF?

[@Camenucete]

Such an artist, the audience doesn't make justice!

[@dyingimmortal]

I was perhaps 12-13 when the song had come out, and I had loved it. I went on to play guitar, sing a bit and headline a couple of bands. If you are a decent singer, you'll not sing off-key. But it is a whole another beast to get the timing right. Now add to that when you are playing a guitar, and then remove the band, and yet make it sound as good as the record. Respect to KT for being so hardworking that she nailed the song so effortlessly. Ofcourse the song is a favorite of mine. Thanks for inspiring. Wish her all good luck, health and success.

[@AEROSPROD]

One of the BEST performances I've ever seen.

[@orion8835]

So enchanted by everything this artist does. The style, flow, singing, delivery and composition of ALL her songs are excellent. Tut stall is so very much the top tier of this genre.

[@himanshusisodia7065]

[@rickblackers88]

[@NoferTrunions]

There are just so many "juicy bits" to the melody of this song - it's intoxicating to sing. It's spiritual, uplifting and transcendental - and that's just the music, not the lyrics. Amazing...

[@hannalemusic]

KR Tunstall is straight fire! Absolutely incredible and such an inspiration ❤️

[@jonathanhall7903]

[@Orion3T]

Hear this song and the Horse one so many times, never realised they were all done in a single take with loops and she could do them just the same live. Genius.

[@paulgardner6239]

KT is just a wonderful performer. And this is a wonderful song!

[@Repomidnight]

Makes KT even more awesome. Unresponsive audience, but just goes ahead and attacks the guitar and gives a phenomenal performance. She makes it look so easy. Criminally underrated.

[@thomaswatson7710]

I love how she start's out tapping on the 🎸

[@Amysmann]

Astonishing talent. From my perspective the audience appears much more mesmerized than the crude comment that they appear lifeless. More taken aback by her sheer talent. Hardly a dance hall rendition. "Peace Love and Happiness" Jimi Hendrix 1967

It has been a hell of a long time since I have seen her play live but she is such an exceptional musician. Not one ounce of pretentiousness about her and she knows how to work a crowd for sure. Who could resist when one woman was responsible for creating a live, layered performance.

[@joshyfowler1997]

Of course she's not pretentious. She's Scottish! They are the least pretentious people along with Aussies. They will drag you back down to reality if you get too big for your boots. But yeah, amazing musician whatever she does
