[@GagaBoy1346]

This is such an incredible different version

[@brianpasiewicz7437]

Totally!!

[@yapnpom]

She is so,so, gifted, blessed too. And reminds me of a Carol Kings legacy from back in my days as a teenager in the 70's. Maggie will be around a long time, and a voice as good as Sarah McLachlan.

[@Lillybeth2023]

Wow, I'm not the only one who thinks of Carol King listening to Maggie...

[@MerajHuda]

And I had exactly the same thoughts!

[@jasonharper3334]

When lyrics and delivery of words transcend and carry you to a mood you didn’t know you had

[@megajlaing]

She always makes me want to jump on my guitar, and makes me feel like theres so many new options & deeper sounds to explore. I remember years back I would record two guitar parts, put them together and it would send chills through my spine, give goosebumps, and my arm hairs would stand...it is hard to achieve that, I'm striving to get back to that level of connection with my own sounds.

[@brianpasiewicz7437]

Very wise and insightful!

[@xDPx-zh7vr]

Such a dope version. Everybody in the room in complete sync and Maggie just being Maggie, cute as ever and singing like a songbird.

[@ashleyarcher147]

I am so in love. I'm in love with her spirit, her heart, and her journey. Thank you for sharing this beautiful thing called life with us Maggie. I am so glad you were born soul sister

[@dudley_noon]

great live mix - big shout out to the engineer of this session

[@dudley_noon]

Jake Bourgeois it's a Roland spd-sx

[@dudley_noon]

yes, that's a separate roland kick drum pad

[@dudley_noon]

the kick drum trigger is a roland kd7

[@madelaineraye]

Ugh I love her low vocals on the chorus of this version. This was a very happy find :)

[@MrGraderman]

Her falsetto is superb.

[@rosechai9899]

Yeah me too! Also the diversity in this version, the low and the high.

[@StoneyMelony]

this girl is amazing, so much talent, i love it!

[@thomaslucey2175]

this version has me in literal tears

[@winedemonium]

What a wonderful fresh talent. I'm so looking forward to what she brings us next.

[@markmalone83]

Made this grown ass man cry. What a beautiful song

[@baileycook4136]

This one brought me to tears. My favorite live performance of 'Alaska' thus far. Can anyone tell me where her Patti Smith t-shirt and shoes are from?

[@MetyHasumy]

Shoes: footwearnews.com/2017/fashion/collaborations/vans-opening-ceremony-collaboration-glitter-pack-release-photos-322413/ I think the shirt is from Patti Smith's 40th-anniversary Horses tour. ^^

[@rosechai9899]

Im in love with this version of the song. Want to listen to and sing it over and over and over.

[@Mmmalina6]

In love with her voice and those live sessions

[@achiezzz01]

DAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNN!!!!! I GET HIGH WITH HER VOICE EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO HER!

[@pamawake2794]

I just love Maggie.

[@mustbewasabi]

wow this version is amazing

[@levii66]

Brilliant. A great honest and beautiful performance.!!!

[@JoelPernell]

This was beautiful. Thank God she got that stamp from Pharrell. Every good musician needs that catalyst to take them to the next level. Glad she was blessed with that.

[@jayschill5049]

Wow...really, really special-thank you, Maggie!

[@samiam247]

Thank you Maggie Rogers

[@ImTheKillaMonster]

Damn this is so good, it brought tears to my eyes

[@lani2023]

She reminds me of Florence and the Machine

[@xDPx-zh7vr]

She reminds me of Maggie Rogers

[@suckafish2754]

She is so dope !

[@briinums]

whoa this is better than original recorded version

[@bkobusingye]

This is the perfect speed.

[@bfr123456]

No matter what, when, or where she sings, whenever she starts she opens a conduit to somewhere else and gets out of the way. Whatever is between her and us dissappears and for a brief moment we commune as souls above our fleshly existence.

[@danielm.8827]

Ven a MÉXICO😍🙌🙏🇲🇽

[@MonsieurCeri]

unbelievable.

[@kikipnky]

I was walking through icy streams That took my breath away Moving slowly through westward water Over glacial plains And I walked off you And I walked off an old me Oh me oh my I thought it was a dream So it seemed And now, breathe deep I'm inhaling You and I, there's air in between Leave me be I'm exhaling You and I, there's air in between You and I, there's air in between Cut my hair so I could rock back and forth Without thinking of you Learned to talk and say Whatever I wanted to And I walked off you And I walked off an old me Oh me oh my I thought it was a dream So it seemed And now, breathe deep I'm inhaling You and I, there's air in between Leave me be I'm exhaling You and I, there's air in between You and I, there's air in between You and I, there's air in between

[@NicolasCurcioWriter]

wow this version....

[@meeshie_]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@chongching]

LOVE this version. anyone know how to get this as an mp3? is it on itunes?

[@Holly18th]

damn this version is powerful

[@rtan451]

Still waiting for the guitar

[@qwerty1332]

rtan451 lol same, I looked and saw the guitar and then I was like wut, she's just holding it or what

[@danieltrewe839]

Hasn't it hit you she'll use it for other songs during this session?

[@ayyyasb]

I could to her all day lpng and never get bored

[@ReneeNavarra]

[@hadchaahmadjonova7744]

Super maggie

[@tiitsay]

cant get enough. what is it?

[@maggieestradaa]

Keep rocking those mom jeans, Maggie!

[@xDPx-zh7vr]

Yet it's her best version. Go figure

[@josephchurch9469]

I really like this version. dont get me wrong the poppy version is great. but this is awesome

[@bluesoulreggae1356]

Took some time to get what she was trying to do here - I like it

[@samlee2562]

The sub-bass on this is tasty... 🤗

[@Koxocw]

lol she's fit

[@violaineguibert3632]

She looks exhausted...

[@jpok69]

Sonorous

[@ishanranjan2006]

Wow ....Like Carol King

[@jonae6771]

leave me be..im exhailing

[@FastSet]

gg

[@sgtsivetiuq5730]

Julia Cooper for me

[@Drew_Herdz]

What´s wrong with her neck?

[@kentakano3562]

aie notice me pls

[@rayyamanouchi1162]

She looks exactly like Katharine Ross.

[@wesleystops8695]

black desert online

[@MarkMastersonMastermark]

Then you have never heard emotion...

[@MrMonsterkaraoke]

Sounds like she is tired of singing this song already

[@fokisgaming3745]

LOL True

[@MargaretBeveridge]

She looks like it too... :/

[@lynnes11]

I thought she was just maybe saving her voice? but, yah, she looks tired.

[@nevillesmith426]

It's just a much slower tempo than the studio cut, and it's live so she's playing it safe a bit (not going high on the 1st chorus)

[@20thingsgoing62]

i felt like she was really thinking about the lyrics. the performance isn't perfect but its still beautiful and it grooves so hard. The song is so good it shines through anything. this vid hits me everytime and i cry lol

[@thegorn]

This song no longer sounds fresh

[@burningsagemanmusic7491]

She sounds Depressed in this moment!

[@Guitarwizardjoinme]

she seems tired of singing this song.

[@giannasmith9210]

Nah, don't care for this version. Without all the higher octaves and increased tempo of the original, it sounds like any other, run-of-the-mill person who thinks they're an artist.

[@chickenmanoktae]

gianna smith LOL says a keyboard warrior. Good job!

[@dude4173]

I feel bad for you :)

[@slantz9]

Too slow

[@metalguyn]

Bad mix, keys are too loud

[@agataradom7286]

Come on, so many badly reached notes this time. Original is great, this one upsets me a bit.

[@gassc8331]

I hope someone cared if you're upset. BTW did you liked your own comment? Just saying.

[@imsuperioroso]

are you out of your mind? 2:15 is perfection and flawless heaven on earth! stop trolling

[@agataradom7286]

Agassi Chang no one needs to care its just facts. I trully love this song and the girl but she does not reach correct notes here. sorry

[@agataradom7286]

imsuperioroso nope.greetings to you all no need to yell. we have a freedom of speech you haters:D

[@RAWDOGGA5]

What is a correct note?
