Kassi Valazza | "The Rapture" | Western AF

[@BillGoodman76]

She is criminally underrated

[@deadair801]

She's no Seirra Ferrel but probably the closest 2nd I've heard. Id lose my mind if they did a duet

[@BillGoodman76]

@@deadair801 I would too.

[@tympanuchustornado]

@@deadair801 comparing apples to oranges in that statement. Sierra is no Kassi and Kassi is no Sierra is more the reality.

[@WaukWarrior360]

@@deadair801 I don't know. Hearing Johnny dear when I was drunk and hurting was basically a religious experience

All Bills think alike....

Kassi, if you didn't know - there's a huge following of your blessing here in the Appalachian mountains. Please bless us with your beautiful presence and voice soon. Even if I was the only person in the audience, I'd make sure you get the crowd you deserve. You're so loved, don't ever change.

[@BluegrassCannabis]

She's coming to WV, NC, and GA!

[@pjulian777]

Holy Hell why have I not heard her before? Her tone, her intensity. Thanks, Algorithm!

[@WesternAF]

Kassi is 👑

[@makeitsound4162]

Its back to 1971. This is unbelievable!

[@patrickcasey1150]

Her voice just hits without warning - utterly crystal clear. What an incredible singer! And the cut-back simplicity of the guitar picking is the perfect accompaniment. Just spectacular.

[@XJMX]

Kassi V is a treasure. And thanks Western AF for helping keep me sane these last couple of years. Best wishes to you all from the UK.

[@MrRicehard]

:) Greeting from an ex-shire boy living out in the big world. I'd like to second the statement that Western AF is a solace.

[@matthewdobsson3883]

If anything should be heard at the Opry, it’s this fantastic song writer.

[@robertdohar5248]

Practically perfect in every way

[@localfishinghole]

I would go so far as to state that she has one of the best voices for classic style country and folk. This was amazing to listen to.

[@JPF123]

Dang Kassi's voice is amazing. I've never heard anyone else that sounds like her and it's amazing. This and Johnny Dear are stunningly beautiful with their slightly doleful undertones.. Love it. It's so nice to hear a song that resonates on a soulful level. She's like a mid-western, wholesome-sounding, classy Lana Del Rey or something. Edit: Two years after this silly comment I happened to live somewhere she was gonna sing. I paid like $25 for a ticket, she and her bandmates were fantastic in person! You should absolutely buy a ticket and see her if you get the chance. Highly recommend.

[@TheTrueAdonis1]

Joan Baez might be the closest.

[@diablofrench7735]

@@TheTrueAdonis1 I hear that 100%, and Joan Baez is top tier ☀️

[@prettyhamburger6462]

This song is totally something that reminded me of Lana del Rey

[@MrRicehard]

Check out the live show for Fisherman's Village Broadcasts Kassi did 2 years ago. Well worth 30 minutes listening. :)

[@307jevans]

The song writing is like listening to a ghost story. This one has its hooks in me, I keep coming back to it again and again. What an amazing piece of artwork.

[@luizacouton]

OMG OMG OMG, i love everything about it, i love her bless her

[@tise2277]

Would absolutely love a collab with Colter Wall.

[@cedarriver]

Lovely, always a joy to see her performing. Simple yet impressive. Chords and lyrics below folks, not 100% sure about the lyrics though, correct me if I may be wrong. Capo on 3, Standard tuning G6 320000 Verses G6 C / C G6 / G6 C / C G6 Chorus G6 Am G6 / G6 Am G6 [Verse 1] Some awful rapture of noise held you captured and broke my stare You said it came from there up there on the stairs No more than a second that mystery backing your feet to climb While I stayed behind I held worry on my mind [Chorus] You don't know how fire works, it burns too slow, you'll lose it You don't know how fire works, it dies until you feed it [Verse 2] You dug through the floorboards for some kind of folklore you'd heard before The newspaper was torn and the match burned bright How I couldn't fathom this loose hanging phantom your fingers wore So yellow in hue, it was nothing I knew [Chorus] You don't know how fire works, it burns too slow, you'll lose it You don't know how fire works, it dies until you feed it [Verse 3] You laugh at my temper, your eyes like december so cold and blue You were smiling, too, I was jealous of you Still to this day you've been lied in your way with the pages you burn While others read theirs first, see how bright you can shine [Chorus] You don't know how fire works, it burns too slow, you'll lose it You don't know how fire works, it dies until you feed it [Verse 4] Comes some long evening when these embers go leaving me bitter and cold We'll watch our bodies grow old, you'll hear me whisper "you were right" You laugh at my sorrow, so empty and hollw, I was such a fool That I knew better than you making up all those rules [Chorus] You don't know how fire works, it burns too slow, you'll lose it You don't know how fire works, it dies until you feed it

[@haileywest9461]

Chills up my spine This woman has an old soul that the world needs

[@Joel_Unbound]

Y'all should see her live. Exceptional, trippy, haunting, more. She's a headliner in any venue against any singer IMO

[@violentblue123]

drinking bourbon, mourning my father. this song does nothing to make me feel better, but my mourning is all the more deeper and real.

[@russellk631]

Very talented and honest young lady. So much genuine soul in her voice.

[@danielthompson8306]

Mesmerizing voice. Haunting lyrics. Beautiful girl with beautiful hair...and a beautiful sadness. That is what we are..."beautifully sad".

[@ben-jam-in6941]

She’s just so damn great and I love listening to her voice it calms me. The way she accents words like “you’ll loose it” and many others sounds so good for a lack of a better way of expressing how much I like it.

[@PhilosopherThom]

She is so great in these video's. Comes across as authentic and wholly without artifice. I'm so sad her album didn't capture that. I listen to these video's a lot. But then I turn to the record and, idk I think the producers just couldn't or didn't dare to just let it be honest and naked. So I am thrilled to have a new video of a new song.

[@vandango901]

Western AF just needs to start their own record company. They are too good at making these folk artists sound amazing.

[@regularnimnule9715]

@@vandango901 So true. I've discovered SO much great stuff here.

[@rxa177]

I was shocked when I didnt like the album.

[@2dollarsaday]

Love everything about this - haunting voice over fingerpicked guitar and the memorable “You don’t know how fire works…” Great performance.

[@montanalivin8248]

Been a fan of Kassi's music for at least two years now. She is so underrated. Her voice is like sitting on a cliff in Ireland watching the sunset.

[@bak4320]

Anyone know if the humming outro she does is part of a longer piece?

[@darrellarvin123]

Pure magic..that chorus plays hauntingly in my mind. Simply beautiful.

[@stevesutley1386]

This song is hauntingly beautiful

[@TribuneMagazine]

This track keeps pulling us back. That says something. Science says Kassi is directly proportional to the feels which probably equals 10.

[@GeigerFarm]

A masterpiece. Thank you 🙏🏼. I have listened to it on repeat, had a drink, and thought about my friend who took the great journey this week. This is real magic. It surrounds us. We seldom see it because we are all so distracted. To catch a single glimpse is divine 🙏🏼

Timeless talent and something special. Sounds too perfect for this world

cant wait too memorize this and sing it with a harmonica in between chorus
