so cool to hear her using her full voice instead of her usual delicate whisper-like sound

her voice in this cover is unbelievable. i hope to hear more of this vbe on her next album.

[@Nitidus]

The recording quality is also *very* good. I recommend listening to it with some nice headphones if you can.

[@umbrellalove7557]

I wish graice do an indie rock album she sounds so good in indie sound

[@veeeccee]

I think the next album would be pretty likely be sounding like thisss

KZbin MUSIC HAS IT NOW

[@tylerhounshell]

She sings it like I do when I’m running on the street at 3AM: so scratchy at the end, probably crying, and out of breath. But that’s a good thing for this song.

[@cascadeoceanwaveblues]

hahaha but she would sound a lot better than me

[@leahg715]

she has improved so much it's crazy !!! i've been a fan for 2-3 years and i literally just shed a few tears, i'm so proud of her

[@alyssamramirez]

Im so serious when I say this has been replaying all day for me. This might be my favorite cover ever :D

[@atomrat2434]

gracie really encapsulates the emotion that ethel is trying to convey on this song. its a cover, but she understands the feelings that went into the creation of this song and puts forth those feelings in her voice. i am so extremely impressed with this cover. my favourite recreation of ethel cain's masterpiece of a song

[@4S--.]

Anything Gracie sings... it hits... my heart, my body, my feelings, my everything(:

[@elijahgrande4333]

The way she delivers each word of the song, arrrgrg so so so good. I'm on repeat, listening to her version of this song by ethel. You're such a damn artist gracie. Love you.

[@laural2691]

I have probably listened to this version 100 times in 10 days. Obsessed!

[@name-mh2cn]

her voice sounds so beautiful in this, I'm absolutely in awe!

[@swiftieedits2686]

Heard Gracie sing this live without knowing the song and now I’m obsessed with it

[@stanrendipity]

First thing I do when I step out the car and onto campus is put on my earbuds and listen to this cover. So much so that it's the first thing that pops up when I open KZbin.

[@P__114]

I just discovered this song. Curious what it means to you?

[@stanrendipity]

@@P__114 To me, it's like that feeling of looking back on all the hell you had to go through growing up in a town where falling outside the norm wasn't acceptable. And I guess not just reflecting on how hard and exhausting it was but also on how far you've come from there and then when everything felt so hopeless.

[@iwouldgiveyouthemoon_]

@@P__114 obviously this song has layers of meaning to anyone who listens to it, but if you want to know the "intended" meaning, i'd recommend listening to ethel cain's album preacher's daughter. it's a story album, so each song is like a different chapter of the main characters (short and tragic) life. american teenager deals with her struggles growing up, alcohol addiction, complicated family dynamics, and expresses a very strong anti-war sentiment.

[@lindseysekhon9033]

favorite cover ever i just keep coming back

[@estellestar1473]

Wow. The emotion behind this cover. The way she puts her whole heart into it brings tears to my eyes and makes me shiver. I think Hayden would be proud and honoured to have you as a fan.

[@romasharkey6364]

My favorite song being sung by my favorite artist. I will die happy.

[@ad-zx4iv]

her voice suites ethel's songs so well! One of my favs so far

[@sophiem8451]

[@SpiritHunterDSG]

I wouldn’t boil her down to “pop star” that’s not even a good title these days.

[@BayleyConkin]

The false sensitity where people fall apart is caused by the use of an American dollar coins to give people neuronal damage. The same thing that happened to Kurt and it's not related to the FBI as they're causing populations of people to think and I've reported to DHS.

[@meganmathias6634]

lyrics Grew up under yellow light on the street Putting too much faith in the make believe Another high-school football team The neighbor's brother came home in a box But he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault Another red heart taken by the American dream And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out And I'm all alone again Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Sunday morning Hands over my knees in a room full of faces I'm sorry if I seemed off, but I was probably wasted (wasted) And didn't feel so good (feel so good) Head full of whiskey but I always deliver Jesus, if you're listening, let me handle my liquor And Jesus, if you're there Why do I feel alone in this room with you? And I feel it there In the middle of the night When the lights go out But I'm still standing here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do what I want Crying in the bleachers and I said it was fun I don't need anything from anyone It's just not my year But I'm all good out here Say what you want But say it like you mean it with your fists for once A long, cold war with your kids at the front Just give it one more day then you're done I do it for my daddy and I do it for Dale I'm doing what I want and damn, I'm doing it well For me For me For me For me
