This song is childhood, golden hour, late afternoon tea in the backyard, this song is the chilly autumn days and the comfort it brings, and friends and coffee in sweet cafes, this song is love and heartbreak and dreams and jubilation all wrapped together in the prettiest bow.

[@vivianmccall8860]

The orchestra is phenomenal

[@Ehntu]

I LOVE how so many of the musicians are SMILING. Sometimes you're playing in an orchestra and you know that you're absolutely slaying a song and it sounds unbelievable, you just can't help but smil;e. Look at those ratbag violinists grinning at each other behind the soloist, the bassist nodding and smiling. It's so infectious - and this singer is unbelievable! Such emotional maturity and power. Loved this performance, very glad to find it.

After hearing Joni Mitchell sing her most popular hit 'Both Sides Now' nearing the conclusion of the 2024 Grammy Awards, I began to search for different artists interpretation of that song. Marlon Solomon's version is also awesome.

[@HonkIfYouLoveBeer]

How any of the musicians are playing without bawling their eyes out, I will never know. Deeply, achingly beautiful rendition

[@tophfoo]
