[@lunafreya6027]

Am I the only one actually enjoying this? She sounds just fine to me, and I actually LOVE that guitarist, he has a very soft voice that compliments Christina's pretty well. He was a great backup singer, I think they should sing together more often. :,3

Heart beats fast Colors and promises How to be brave How can I love when I'm afraid to fall But watching you stand alone All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow One step closer I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this One step closer I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more One step closer One step closer I have died every day waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

I loved the song when I first heard it on the radio; like I really loved it; but it wasn't until I was at the wedding of two people I love dearly and saw them dance to this song as they gazed at each other that I realized how emotional and sweet this song really is. I love it even more now.

[@blairshinski7085]

This version is a folk vocal instead of pop. Love the raw clear voice of this version. Authentic talented artist. Beautiful teeth.

[@billyvitale8994]

There are some comments on the guitarists vocals... I find them very good... in fact I pretty sure that his parts were quite challenging and he executed very well.. as far as the way the voices mix.. that is basically a question of how voices mix.. and getting the volumes right ... the guitarists work was excellent... who is he?....

[@johng317]

I always loved the melody of the song, but seeing her unplugged like this....she is so pretty, and does a wonderful job on the song. She has a beautiful smile....

[@rociomendonca5134]

This song is... the most amazing love promise I've ever heard.

[@monicapttrsn]

So what if Christina was slightly off-key on a few notes. She doesn't have to perform perfectly and flawlessly every time. At the end of this song, I feel relaxed and soothed. I give her and the guitarist an A+ for this performance. If we wait for a human being to perform perfectly and flawlessly for us, we might be waiting a heck of a long time, because humans are not perfect and flawless. Sure the digital recording process can correct a few notes that are slightly off key....but overall, Christina is a great singer, she does a great job, and I like her music. And Christina, you have my permission to make a mistake or two. The experience of listening to you sing this song is phenomenal.

[@嘉伯麗]

monicapttrsn I agree😕💘but Sam Smith isn't far from being perfect 😭his live performances are perfect 💘

[@MIKEK3NT]

Technically it’s her song so in my book it’s perfect even if it sounds off key

[@ronaldedwardututaonga8254]

If she was off key ...I certainly didnt hear it ..... shes bloody fantastic .... as a singer myself? I know that feeling all too well of being outa key ...its a sucky experience to go thru ... but it all depends on th mix ...being able to hear th monitor and being self confident in your abilities.... I learnt th hard way thru trial and error ... what I could and couldn't do ... and I pushed myself to my absolute limits ... then I convinced myself that singing works on th same principle as body building....th more effort I put in ?...th better I get .... and it turned out to all be true ...from my early days of singing to where I am now? My confidence is thru th roof and then some .... she'll get better with age too...

[@foreversunrise8749]

Zager and Evans. Two voices. Two guitars. Rarely perfect. It's the emotion that draws me in, I'll take that over flawlessness any day.

[@kimberlymorley-pigg494]

the rare imperfections are what makes this the soul stirring assault that captures the wistfulness of an never ending love of a lifetime. that little catch in her voice is as if she can't get her breath because of the excitement & nervousness from having found you. His slight off kilter timing is the loss of himself in time & space because of his overwhelming feelings. he even forget that he is supposed to be focused on something other than the beautiful woman that has stolen all of his concentration & self control sending every one of his senses reeling. The fear that this isn't real & that when the last notes fade away so will the elusive love that you've finally found after an endless exhaustive search. So you close your eyes.... when you open them will it be REAL?? If you have hit replay then it is YOURS for as long as you continue to BELIEVE.... If NOT then the dream, & the hope fades as NEGATIVITY crashes over your mind & soul DAMNING YOU to a lifetime of bitterness & self blame
