Oh, how beautifull that was. Like a rainbow. Thx a lot Freya Ridings, the phenomenal Orchestra and BBC!

[@Peggsme15ter]

If you understand the meaning behind this song, then you'll appreciate just how beautiful this version is. The combination of Freya's tone and the orchestra is just beautiful (like a rainbow).

[@c.t5136]

The real meaning is deeper, and a bit darker. In a 2002 interview, Don Henley shared that the true meaning of the song is about American excess and how overindulgence in the wealth a person finds can detach them from reality and ultimately destroy them.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@c.t5136 American excess? Most Americans do not have any excess though. It's not very deep or dark (What you're saying), it has been said a million times. Also, noone asked for this patronizing lecture.

[@c.t5136]

Such a treat when truly gifted singers are on the show. Thank you.

Played at my son’s funeral.😢😢

[@vijai8959]

For the 3 women that made life tolerable.... especially for my mom

[@suzannejane1035]

Such a contrast to Cyndi who is a soprano. Wonderful (both versions).

[@doloreswitkowski5578]

I agree. It is nearly impossible to match, muss less beat Cyndi's four-octave range. Freya's version is sublime.

[@backagain9181]

sorry no matter - how much she is promoted to me on sites and the radio - i just don't like her voice

[@jabhookjabcross4231]

I think she has the best voice I've heard since Karen carpenter. Astounding.

[@alisonbrown5891]

Ermm not sure🤔I thought I loved it to start with but I got bored.🥱Never been my favourite song.
