Beth Orton live in the studio

Recorded 2004? Thinking About Tomorrow. Radio Session. My edit!

[@klausrain111]

❤How can she be so beautiful and stay grounded here on Earth without floating up into the stars?❤

[@toddleroux4745]

Uhhh ...

[@elarboldejoshua]

There's no voice like Beth's..so strong, so potent, so graspy and melancholic..i'm writing this in 2023, one year after her new album "Weather Alive" was released and that's simply brilliant..after almost 3 decades of making music today, is relevant touching, deep and most of all her nostalgic magic touch it's intact...i hope she still put out music in the years to come.

[@kevinlarlee3575]

Two guitars, one cello and THAT VOICE !!! So understated,so lovely and quietly powerful. This is what great art sounds like ..

[@kansascityonline]

been thinking bout this song today.. so nice....

[@adamlewis6693]

Been in love with Beth since the early 90s. The album version of this song makes me levitate. So cute her reaction when she messes up the lyrics. Just makes this rendition that much more special.

[@spaceghost8995]

She is so unique. So good!❤

[@klausrain111]

I LOVE Beth!

Cant believe i have never seen this before, one of my alltime favourite songs ever!! absolutely outstanding performance by Beth & co..

[@alioness4199]

Never stop loving this woman and her divine voice... such a gift

[@Ewan-z3r]

Absolute bliss

[@luarmand]

this is the best song ever made by her, and also one of the best songs ever made.......beautiful live performance......love her.....

[@robbmorris1088]

Stunningly beautiful.

[@squidssvids]

should explain this was a radio session that was video-ed and a small fraction of the performance was shown on a now defunct music channel which i was working on at the time. I kept my own edit of the performance (different to the one broadcast) but only put this on YT last November.

[@darkstarrr75]

Love this

[@bujin1977]

I can't think of the right words... "Stunning", is about the best I can do. I'm ashamed to say that I had not heard of Beth Orton until a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm a bit disappointed that I've missed out on about 20 years of awesome music! I've been trying to make up for lost time by buying up all her music and watching live performances on YT! I thought "Stolen Car" was my favourite song, but this one has so much emotion behind it! I really hope that she does some more shows in the UK next year! If there's just one thing that I could possibly mark Beth down on is that she bears a striking resemblance to the young lady I split up with only about 2 months ago...

[@raythenation]

what a beautiful performance of such a sad song, thanks guys i love it ..

[@FlyingsCool]

Tired but I ain't sleeping Thinking about some sad affair And why I should be leavin' cause some of these thoughts only seem to take me outta here Yeah, these habits are so hard to break And they're so easy to make Well these habits are so hard to break And they're s'easy to make Thinkin' about tomorrow Tired from all the time I spare On what I still believe in When none of my talk ever seems to get me anywhere Yeah, these habits are so hard to break And they're so easy to make Well these habits are so hard to break And they're s'easy to make So easy, yeah So long Bye, my friend, so long So long Will it ever happen again? You know that I've been waitin' for you I've been created for you So long You know the light ain't fadin' from you Nothing could save me from you So long Tired but I ain't dreaming Falling into solid air And why I must be leavin' 'cause one of these days I'm gonna pull out all my hair Yeah, these habits are so hard to break And they're so easy to make Well these habits are so hard to make And they're s'easy to break So easy, yeah So long Bye, my friend, so long So long Will it ever happen again? You know that I've been waitin' for you I've been created for you So long You know the light ain't fadin' from you Nothing could save me from you So long :'(

Really great song!! Nice discovery...Amazing Singer!!

[@JRxTHExMAN]

Thanks for sharing! This performance and song are phenomenal.

[@joeverastegui8399]

It's simple: I love her.

[@keithtwyford5566]

This is just beautifully done. She is quite unique in voice and style, always a bit nervy, but a terrific talent.

[@petethegardener1968]

[@bujin1977]

Love the look she gives the others when she realises she screwed up the lyrics on the second verse! :D

[@thomasallen7359]

Classic!

[@raythenation]

I'm over my high Beth, I'm such a fool !! will i ever learn

[@littleblindberme]

how is it possible only 371 entries?

[@rasibra]

What do you mean ''recorded in 2004''!!! Which hole I have been in for the last 7 years

[@raythenation]

Now she is !

[@Roblu-k6u]

She could start singing in a room full of crying newborns and the room would go silent

[@raythenation]

its back to duty free i guess !! 2 years time. as Mom often said Ill be dead by then !

[@andyk6792]

such a great song... thank you beth, thank you squid!

[@LaurenceEddy]

Fabulous performance! Were the violin and bass added later or just out of shot?

[@raythenation]

Bishopstown, get yourself over here, or else Kilkenny, god help us !

[@AbeLinguista]

I love this song!!! but I heve a problem. My first language is spanish, and I'm not able to understand completely the poetic nor metaphores in this song. May somebody could tell why it is seems to be so intense and deep? What is the sense in general?. M'encata esta rola!!! simplemente l'adoro! pero no alcanzo a entender todas las metáforas o algunas frases que supongo son idiomáticas en esta canción. Alguien pudiera echarme la mano para entender por qué se siente tan intensa y tan profunda?

[@DrKanukie]

"Yeah, these habits are so hard to break And they're so easy to make" Este es el mensaje principal. Significa por qué es tan difícil dejar de caer en el mal comportamiento. En la canción, este mal comportamiento está pensando en eventos tristes del pasado. Ella está mirando todos estos eventos en su relación actual y ha decidido terminarla. estos ejemplos "Thinking about some sad affair And why I should be leavin' cause some of these thoughts only seem to take me outta here" Alguien ha tenido una aventura amorosa y es señal de que debe dejar la relación. "Tired from all the time I spare On what I still believe in When none of my talk ever seems to get me anywhere" Hacer cosas que le apasionan pero no obtener apoyo "Pull out all my hair" Ella se está frustrando demasiado en la relación. "So long Bye, my friend, so long So long Will it ever happen again?" Esta es su tristeza por tener que dejar la relación. "You know that I've been waitin' for you I've been created for you So long" Ella piensa que en realidad son una gran pareja, pero tiene que decir adiós. "You know the light ain't fadin' from you Nothing could save me from you So long" Ella piensa que todavía son una gran persona. pero esto es peligroso para su salud mental por lo que tiene que despedirse. adiós

[@raythenation]

hoping to go to Shannon tomorrow, maybe I'll catch a plane. Passport s out of date, so It l have to be London

[@raythenation]

well a likeness in so far as guys and girls can have ! Sorry to dispel that one

[@raythenation]

ill never learn Beth

[@raythenation]

Why did you have to get married Beth. We would have been the perfect couple. You should see me, the likeness is incredible and I'm the same age. guess ill have to slide with someone else
