Fuck man, she looks like a 60s model. Gorgeous face, gorgeous voice.

[@RebSike]

Ikr she has that classic beauty about her

[@acemachine26]

+Maya Magination I know! She's got that Sissy Spacek / Joni Mitchell vibe to her.

[@singenstattatmen5096]

+acemachine26 Sissy Spacek is exactly what I was thinking! It's a haunting sort of beauty and it becomes most apparent when she smiles. :) This was a bit like Carrie's special power wasn't Telekinesis, but singing, and it's just as powerful (yet peaceful of course^^).

Nice to see a 400+ year folk song from my old country of England still being covered :)

[@Smulegule]

Holy fucking crap. Holy. Fucking. Crap. That has to be one of the most unique, beautiful and talented voices I've ever heard. Just stumbled upon this and almost lost my mind.

[@TheClassicWorld]

That's why gingers are the most beautiful, rare things on Earth. Look up Janet Devlin and Connor Scott

[@karol4757]

her voice is liquid gold

[@ohbabycat]

after listening to every version of this song that I could find, there wasn't one other person who sang it like this. she seems confused by the strong reactions to her interpretation. maybe she doesn't realize how good, and memorable those little changes really are. it seems that after some "coaching" her voice actually lost a little something. nothing else she sang shines quite as brightly as this one.

[@kandiselisabeth]

I agree I loved the like....shakiness? (idk) Of her voice and the pitch she has here and how clear it is and she doesn't sound the same as before

[@ThanaAnsari]

I wish she would do a studio version of this.

[@BlobTheBunny]

+Thana Ansari She did.

[@imogensutherland4330]

+ohbabycat She released an EP last August under her new project 'Vera Blue' and it is incredible. Especially the song Hold. Should check it out before you write her off. I think she in for a big year this year!! Fingers crossed she preforms at Splendour In The Grass would love to see her live!!
