An old soul lives in her. She brings it every time.

[@Pray4theChildren]

I LOVE This one... Thank you, absolutely beautiful... Did you know... Ben Howard explained the song's meaning to The Sun: "'Black Flies' is about someone I don't really speak to anymore. It's an observational song about the changes in the year. It's not about romance as a few people have suggested." Howard explained to Reuters that the song is a tale of a ruined friendship. "We ended up doing separate things and going separate ways," said the singer. "That's what I write about most of the time, the people who come in and out of our lives and the memories that you form around them."

[@ashaquila]

In a world of prefabricated music, Ben Howard is a minor miracle. In the darkness here this evening, Chase and Sierra are a minor miracle, too. Gratitude.

[@thinking102]

If your into authenticity in music look up Hozier's offerings so good so good, sierra and chase sing some of his songs, the lyrics are as sublime as Ben's..enjoy 😊

[@walteralicetse]

when her voice voiced, suddenly everything goes quiet, it brings me peace, it's a beautiful song at night

[@justins370]

Yep I agree her delivery, pitch, and timing creates a dark, powerful, and emotional tune like Aaron Lewis raw but has her whole life ahead, congrats epic love and beauty

[@patsyporter1777]

This young lady is very good. Her music and her voice is memorable and haunting at the same time. She's a talent for sure.

[@heathsavage4852]

Gee, everything she does is exceptional. This is amazing.

[@rawiritewaata6425]

It's a rainy day in Tokoroa New Zealand. My curtains closed. Just lit the fire and my washings on. Laying on my pillow listening to the sound waves from your song and everything seems right

[@RapmasterY]

loooove that

[@coralscott182]

Black flies on the windowsill That we are That we are That we are to know Winter stole summer's thrill And the river's cracked and cold See the sky is no man's land A darkened plume to stay Hope here needs a humble hand Not a fox found in your place No man is an island, this I know But can't you see? Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone Black flies on the windowsill That we are That we are That we are to hold Comfort came against my will And every story must grow old Still I'll be a traveler A gypsy's reins to face But the road is wearier With that fool found in your place No man is an island, this I know But can't you see? Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone No man is an island, this I know But can't you see? Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone So here we are And I don't wanna beg your pardon And I don't wanna ask you why But if I was to go my own way Would I have to pass you by? And I don't wanna beg your pardon And I don't wanna ask you why But if I was to go my own way Would I have to pass you by?

[@lulujanuary]

Thank you 💕

[@_ChassityRenee333_]

Tytytyty🙏🥰😇

[@JuliannaRConz]

Thank you!

[@RecluseBootsy]

Chase has this unexpected lightness to his voice, a delicate nature being worn on his sleeve. Sierra has a quiet and unnerving intensity when she sings, a profound depth in her eyes and the most solemn expression. I am extremely grateful to have found both of you and your unique Ying yang perspectives in the midst of so many copy-paste covers on YT. Each tune I find by you is a unique rendition, a lesser known track from the original artist, and insanely good. Thank you so so much and I can't wait to hear more.

[@buildingjmpr67]

My God,,, you deliver a song in such raw form.. It's bone chilling...love your work... Good times!!!!

[@sanjayabhatta5338]

its 40 degrees+ over here and she's giving me chills.

[@kim5754]

Her voice is so smooth like a fine red wine.

[@garrettsmith8286]

(Rastafarian Voice) Red red wine you make me feel so fine. But not as fine as this voice so divine. She lifts me up Brings me down Spins my heart all around Alla...... de time....

[@lakasx1855]

My voice is like a musky whiskey that you poured and now don't want to finish.

[@robertmagrogan6314]

I just can't get enough of Sierra. Absolutely love listening to her. Makes me feel so calm and peaceful.

[@WhAtKnOtZzZ]

Such a great cover, the song is like a answer to a poem I wrote, If I’m the land Then your the coast To the heavens I would boast For you would be A mighty sea Spreading wider Then One could see Your waves of beauty would continually spread Creating paths that you have shred For I would be your light back home Being your rock While Letting you roam When I get lonely I will still be near you I’ll open my banks And let you trough For you create life As I sit and behold Hoping that one day That we both become old And when the seasons turn I would try and change Trying just to cater So Notting becomes strange For you are my ocean For you the seven seas For you are the only thing That this rock can see

[@wesleybullock814]

Beautiful

[@raphaeldeandrade7659]

Beautiful poem, brother!!!

[@williamwray9454]

ive gotta say first off i hope this gal goes all the way to whever she wishes to go,theres not many people who reach my darkened heart but somehow she did i just hope the rest of the world feels her to

[@emmacowell4169]

I absolutely love how raw this is. The guitar is a perfect blend of the original song with your own additions and variations. Your voice has such a great range and I just fall in love with it, and the videography allows you to have a glimpse of the musician, while also forcing you to fully understand and appreciate how gorgeous the music is. It’s so perfect yet it seems so easy for you.

[@leslietylersmith430]

You two have your own file in my KZbin Channel. I am so deeply moved by your voice Sierra. So deep&True. I love the two of you together. You're Amazing&wonderful Soulful music. Thankyou! 🙏

[@testchannel2735]

So here I am at 2am two years after my best friend passed away not a clue what to do with my life 21 years old and some how this song is the only thing that calms me down, thank you

[@littelbeatel]

Stunning voice, so talented and hunting. I've never thought that someone could cover Ben's song so perfectly

[@pedraofcs]

One of those days you just want to lie in the cute armchair, quiet, listening to you sing, you play ... In the sky, no plane, in the almost deserted streets, time doesn't seem to pass ... Your voice has a very rare timbre , beautiful, believe me, it makes me travel the world, it makes me daydream ... I love Russian music, but my heart is now more here than there, you are my safe haven, your music really moves my interior a lot, me transporting around the world ... I know it is a path of no return, but I love your voice, your music, your every video .... You are very special, in your distant eyes, something that holds me, everything now taking me until you .... Here I want to stay, quiet on the cute sofa, letting you guide my heart, my thoughts .... I now know that for me it is a way to turn .... Be well ...

[@2000dubstepper]

I remember when this song had 3000 views, still just as amazing!

[@alannabartosik7285]

It's incredible to find someone so talented with such similar music taste to myself. I can relate to the passion you put into music. It's clear that you really feel what you're saying.

[@texasbasshunter8234]

Im amazed. I have sung this song like 20 times today practicing and just wow. Your voice.. I'm in love.

[@PatrickBergeron]

Have been a huge fan of Ben's music for a few years now and I often find myself turning to your version of this song Sierra as it is not only a different take but your voice is so soothing, mesmerizing and simply takes me on a journey of peace and reverie ! Thank-you. 🎼

[@user-nj2kn1sz4r]

Every song this wonderful talent touches touches is instantly made hers !!! My GOD I am so happy I stumbled onto her what an amazing gift to us all !!

[@gervanks]

You are a ray of light. I love your voice. It takes me some place else. Thanks for all you do, Sierra.

[@Cptidris]

Wow this is by far one of the best covers . You took the song and made it your own. Brilliant

[@ChandlerLeighton]

Your voice was very unexpected when you first started singing. Very hauntingly beautiful.

[@sophiaanneluces]

Right? I literally went, "Oh, fuck."

[@jimherps8918]

I agree.

[@PaulGPixelBike]

Reminded me Hannah Reid from London Grammar.

[@philippweppert2773]

An insanely beautiful voice and absolutely brilliant cover. Congrats Sierra. Beautiful.

[@090347303]

This cover need to be on Spotify! It’s absolutely stunning 😍 i fell in love with your voice!

[@andremacaneiro2602]

Hey, your covers are really good, honestly dear, the best covers of Ben Howard, your voice is so pure! Looking forward to hearing your music!!! Greetings from Brazil.

[@alejobasilio]

Sierra in spanish means like little mountain. After meeting you and your voice, your guitar.. definitely knew you where like a mountain as well. too much peace, nice frequency.. and the songs you choice are really important to share with this caotic world... thanks Sierra, you are amazing. from argentina, best wishes and keep doing it! a lot of people will appreciate.

[@moontrekerben7801]

No words for that... ❤ I've just listen the original version of Ben Howard that i never heard before yours... I love yours a lot...

[@nlowell1]

This is incredible. Ben Howard is nowhere NEAR as good as you on this song. He should gift it to you. Why is your name not on everyone's lips. You should be queen of the world. This song done by you is so good I want to cry.

[@johncooper9863]

Your cover selection, along with your ability is out of this world young lady. I'm very impressed. :)

[@user-re6up4bx8t]

Absolutely beautiful. Voice of an angel and the arrangement is perfect.

[@akhan329]

You're so so talented! I love Ben, and this is such a great take on his song. Keep up the brilliant work. Props to whoever did the sound and video edit too! I look forward to your future videos.

[@SierraEagleson]

Thank you! The editing is by my brother Chase Eagleson, as I have said on my other videos. He's worth checking out as well! I appreciate the kind words and you sticking around!

[@akhan329]

+Sierra Eagleson Oh Lord. Your brother is also soooo talented! Have subscribed to the pair of you!

[@lukula2934]

Thanks for this...Melody carried along by haunting lyrics...celebrating the paradox of this life... Authentic art must always be moving, unsettling, rich in it's simplicity, sad and sweet.

[@buhlenomnganga4303]

I USUALLY LISTEN TO HIP HOP MUSIC, BUT I GOTTA SAY THIS GIRL, THIS SONG, HER VOICE.. IT HITS THE HEART DEEP.. WONDERFUL

[@thiscommentwasposted262]

I TOTALLY agree. I had youtube running in another windows tab, just listening to whatever , and then I heard this girl's voice, and I immediately clicked on the tab,WOW, very nice cover song, (I didn't know this song either) ...she sings it very nice, I also checkout out the original artist, sounds great too. TRUE TALENT IN THIS GIRL.

[@White.Wives.Matter_D.Violence]

you remind me of myself when I was your age, ...young, You seem to have suffered some pain beyond your years, and i want to reach out and hug you. I am a singer still at age 59, started when i was 15. I thought then that i knew pain. Then life happened. I write the best when I'm hurt, in pain or very excited. keep up the good work. Annie

[@sistersamich2075]

I know it might seem like teens don’t experience pain, but to us it’s literally the most hurt we have ever been. It might seem silly, but at this moment for us life is a fitting room. And we have to come out of the store with an outfit we love and that’s not always easy.

[@arendvanderbliek]

This is absolutely beautiful. The emotions you put into this one and atmosphere were perfect.

[@deadedrounding2886]

Amazing voice beautiful too . Good job on the cover . Thanks for giving me a break from my ptsd for a few minutes with cover .

Her voice pierced my soul

[@stefaniemuller7314]

I cant say it in english... Deine Stimme ist so prägnant und ich kann nicht aufhören dir zuzuhören. Das ist wirklich die schönste Version dieses Liedes, die ich je gehört habe. Ich mag deine stimmfarbe😍 Deine eigenen Lieder auf Spotify finde ich übrigens auch sehr schön...
