Her voice and the way she brings the haunting passion of feeling a transition from living to dying is beautiful. The band is very sensitive to volume with both quiet and loud playing. And the fiddle sings to heaven and back. I love this song and this is the very best performance I have ever heard. I always come back to listen again. It never gets old. Thanks for giving this to the world.

This is the definitive version of this song for me, it’s spoiled every other version I’ve heard. Whether it’s Rebekka’s vocals, the instrumentals or the mazy pictures the fiddle paints in my head no other version comes close.

An absolutely stunning song. The first hundred times I listened to it were awesome. Since then I've added it to all my playlists, downloaded it, follow the band and anything else I can do to get more music from Hayde. When I first came here after seeing the movie 1917, if I remember correctly, there were only about 30 to 40 comments. Now look! Just goes to show you once good music is found, however that may be, people will appreciate it. It just sometimes is hard work to find great music like this.
