The most talented ARTIST working today. If there is anything this woman cannot do it's only because she's to busy being fabulous at something else. WOW!!

Her stylings are gorgeous and I can attest that her pronunciation of Japanese is spot-on. I just wish there was a way to post the translation because the poetry of the lyrics is wonderful.

[@kerryevans1562]

Superb.. Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 sure she wan of our own... Such a unique talent..

[@serenedesiree]

So glad to see Rhiannon releasing new stuff! She's a gem.

[@johnbarnes6568]

The perfect accompaniment to Rhiannon's stunning voice of pure emotion.

[@adamkordos]

Harp solos are my new favourite thing

[@m1patriot327]

Nice, lol!!

[@abukum]

The song was played as an opening song in the Japanese drama series "Shinya Shokudo (Midnight Diner)". Thank you for your beautiful voice and performance of this nostalgic and beloved song.

[@Nightriser271828]

The story of this song goes back even further. It was originally an Irish ballad about a dairy maid.

[@abukum]

@@Nightriser271828 Indeed. The original song was an old Irish trad song called pretty girl milking her cow (Callín Deas Cruíte na mBó).

[@craigbrann5231]

@@abukum Was it only the melody that was used in the Japanese version or were the lyrics translated as well?

[@russbrownmusic]

@@craigbrann5231 just the melody - Suzuki told a new story with his - if you search for Midnight Diner OST on youtube, the top hit has his version with a translation of the lyrics in the video

So lovely. I first discovered this beautiful song as the theme of Midnight Diner : Tokyo Stories. Your version is gorgeous. Thank you.

You never cease to amaze, Rhiannon. Arigatō (I am indebted to Google Translate for the appropriate word...)

Merci, 1 000 fois merci !!

[@henryallan9167]

Just a remarkable work with such a talented ensemble. Art and artistry lives at the change front both for the artists and society. It is part reflective and part avant garde exploration. Society is now global and such efforts are the normal evolution of art, fusion and nuance to different accepted forms.

[@larryeddings3185]

Beautifully done.

[@antidepressant11]

What brilliant music. Not just the vocal either.

[@Laura-ts4dh]

Amazing. Transporting. ❤

[@brucetonkin9032]

Recollections that are imprinted on the soul, seared for eternity. They are so profound many whom receive transplants find themselves with memories that are not their own. Likewise, thoughts or memories of past lives are in reality passed on from one generation to another. Both are examples of this profound truth hidden from mankind. They are the lasting memories of your distant family members… The turtle who knows to run towards the sea and not the forest. That is why the DNA and RNA should not be altered.

[@kitrinakearfott1056]

This is a truly profound comment you make, bruce tonkin.

Everyone needs a genuine Philapina PEA in their life...The world would turn much more peacefull & fullfilled.

[@colas4946]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@huma474]

The song misses something with this many instruments playing. The original feels so much more personal when its just a lone guitarist playing and reminiscing. This is the perfect song for Rhiannon to just sign alone while playing a guitar or a banjo.

[@quizfan1]

This is the title song 'Omoide' from 'Midnight Diner' the Japanese tv series. The song was inspired by an old Irish song that was made popular by Judy Garland in the film 'Little Nellie Kelly' (1940) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIOTdoaLftWgptk

[@isberg48]

The tune is a traditional Irish. The tune is: PRETTY GIRL MILKING A COW

[@ringthebells6414]

Stunning as always. Thank you. you are still a beautiful fertile woman. The grey will be lovely when it’s time but it’s not time yet.

[@BahamaWynters]

The gray will come when it is right on time for the wearer. I am certain she will wear it with honour.

[@healthyfreesoul]

She is so amazing!!! What a gorgeous singer and performer. Too bad musicians feel need, or are forced to have diaper faces, takes some soul out the performance.

[@curiouslystrongsinging]

All the soul you need is in the sound.

[@healthyfreesoul]

The soul I need is also in the beauty of the human face, seeing that gorgeous concentration of a musician doing what they love. And the soul I need is the human family understanding the ecosystem of their body and nature’s perfection of coexistence with our beloved planet - ain’t no soul in a profiteering medical establishment and people believing they must fear one another and the air.

[@TheWildWahine]

Shut up and listen to the music

[@Richard-R-S]

As great as Rhiannon is, She is not even diminished by silly pathetic looking orchestra in masks. God Bless you Rhiannon. Stay well and safe on tour🙏🏻🕊💜

[@bradfordlarson1040]

Sorry …. Amazing voice but I can’t watch all the musicians with masks on :(

[@chrisparker9201]

Because we all know that music enters the eyes...

[@teardropcamper]

I was at this concert. Watching musicians with masks on surely is better than not watching musicians at all.
