Yes Sia is Australian, not only a brilliant singer but also a brilliant song writer, check out who she has written songs for.

[@nicocrinkleburg]

Love how many Aussie artists are being featured on this channel 🇦🇺

@@suave-rider nah spoils the fun of it we likes it as is 😁 his surprise and confusion is some of the best bits! 😉

[@wayneharrison2962]

Sia achieves that sound by having super human breath control. She's riding the very minimum amount of air required to create vibration in the larynx, and doing it on the top of the pressure curve of a diaphram vibrato. That skill ontop of her obvious singing abilities and musical talent puts her in another dimension. I'm glad she didn't let the pressures of show business win in the end and found balance in her life. Thank god her state of balance allows us to hear her as well.

[@wendyruediger3685]

The only other person I can think of that does this is Jewel. Or something close to this sound anyway.

[@user-ru2qu9so1d]

Sia is the best singer in the world ❤️

[@leandabee]

Sia is just phenomenal 😍

[@cleonmagabeefy8473]

Watch her sing Many Rivers to Cross live at Shining a Light concert if you haven't. Really good😀

[@GrumpSkull]

Sia's vocal embellishment in this song is tremolo (amplitude modulation) rather than the usual vibrato (pitch modulation).

[@JDAfrica]

That’s such a great clarification! Yes, tremolo and vibrato can sound almost the same and are so often confused.

[@newmennium]

💯 I was just replying this fact. Matt Bellamy also comes to mind from the Muse that does alot of tremolo work.

[@debrahobbs9138]

Barry Gibb used tremolo pulsating the same note

[@rikuhell8076]

This comment should be pin . Thank for let me know tremolo

[@Jindarella_]

Some of Sia's most well known songs she's written is Diamonds by Rihanna, Cannonball by Lea Michelle, Pretty Hurts by Beyonce... she's one of THE ABSOLUTE BEST song writers on the planet.

[@mikasablackerman6776]

This song makes me cry every single time. It takes me back to a time when I had a lot of stuff going on emotionally. I used to run to this song.

[@cleonmagabeefy8473]

Hope your better😀 Have you watched her do Many Rivers to Cross live at Shining a Light concert? Really good!!!

[@sixhunt]

if ive been drinking, i cry everytime i hear this song lol.

[@Ozvideo1959]

Just as a little background to this song. Sia was touring in Thailand when she received a phone call that her boyfriend had been killed in a freak accident when he was getting out of a London taxi. Apparently, he was drunk and somehow got hit with the door as the cab pulled away, severing his brain stem. Sia didn't cope with the loss too well and went on a bender. She was later reported as saying, "Lots of people go on a bender when they lose somebody they love. My bender lasted 5 years" This song is about her struggle with depression and her thoughts on suiciding. I saw an interview where she talked about going to her dealer and saying "Give me two of everything, I'm gonna do it" Fortunately a friend called her and talked her into going into rehab and look where she is now.

[@maccart67]

Thanks mate, didn’t know this. Gives new perspective to this song.

[@WendyKay84]

I never knew this. What a heartbreaking experience. Now I know why the song always makes me cry! I don't think that's something you ever fully recover from, but I'm so glad she found the healing she needed to live on and create so much beauty.

[@Johanna_1998]

@Andrew she was in the middle of that 5 year bender during her work with zero7

[@kyliemitchellharper6872]

@CaptainBlack.1 she also had a serious thyroid condition causing her to gain weight aswell

[@gabelatona6779]

​@CaptainBlack.1 nope, she covers her face because she doesn't like success at all

[@taniaPBear]

Yes she's Australian, this was around the time she started getting noticed overseas and by 2010 she was on the verge of being huge, but the fame and being so in the spotlight didn't sit well with her, and for her own mental health she stepped away. For a few years she just wrote songs for other people, then in 2014 she released '1000 forms of fear', which kicked the doors wide open for her and shot her to the top, but she would only appear live if her face was covered, for her privacy issues.

[@SiaFtAstridS]

Yes Aussie, this song was used in the final of the tv show “6 feet under”, which gave her some exposure to US market. She was in a UK band zero7 that had some success. People don’t realises just how long she has been around.

[@stevefoulston]

Sia Kate Isobelle Furler born 18 December 1975 is an Australian singer, songwriter, voice actress, and director. She started her career as a singer in the acid jazz band Crisp in the mid-1990s in Adelaide. In 1997, when Crisp disbanded, she released her debut studio album, titled OnlySee, in Australia. She moved to London and provided vocals for the British duo Zero 7. Sia released her second studio album, Healing Is Difficult, in 2001, and her third, Colour the Small One, in 2004. Sia moved to New York City in 2005 and toured the United States. Her fourth and fifth studio albums, Some People Have Real Problems and We Are Born, were released in 2008 and 2010, respectively. Each was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association and attracted wider notice than her earlier albums. Uncomfortable with her growing fame, Sia took a hiatus from performing and focused on songwriting for other artists, producing successful collaborations "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (with Rihanna) and "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida). Peace out.

[@erikas2216]

This song is about mental health problems, depression & self harm & the need for every one to have some to “wrap them up” when they need support. It was also the theme song for the tv series Sux Feet Under.

[@Claireostereo7]

Yes! My favourite song. Been waiting for this one.

[@adanianking]

Sia has a song with Hilltop Hoods called "I Love It" should check it out. Both Sia and Hilltop Hoods come from Adelaide, South Australia. Also, Sia has quite a few songs that were popular here in Australia before she made it big in the US with Titanium. Funny note, Sia wrote Titanium and did demo vocals expecting them to be re-sung by someone else and was surprised when her demos were used in the official release, she didn't want to be famous, thats why she wears the wigs.

It's been amazing watching her career unfold. I saw her in Crisp back in the day in Adelaide (I have their EP on CD somewhere), saw her perform in the Flinders Rangers on the 2000 NYE with her father on guitar (he's from Men At Work), then had a few sessions with her at the pub in both Adelaide (she was selling her CDs out of the back of the car!) and Sydney (hanging at The Basement) in the early 2000s. What gets you about her is how utterly laid back she is. And ridiculously talented of course.

The work she did with Zero7 was really beautiful. Also, I think you'd really love Katie Noonan, another Australian singer. Her voice is unreal. Her solo stuff, but also with her band George (her brother was also in the band and has a terrific voice too.) "Special Ones," "Holiday" and "Spawn" are all great tracks with her on lead.

[@Ozvideo1959]

Zero 7's Destiny was pretty much perfect, especially the harmonies. Sia and Sophie Barker up front, what's not to love. There is a version done at a radio studio that is brilliant. It's part of "Sets without a net" If you haven't seen it, it's at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqnbkICtmMuVe9U

Another reason for Sia nearly giving up performing was because she thought her gender/sexual identity would be attacked and take away from her music. As it turned out, she was much loved by Triple J listeners who know Hall of Fame talent when they hear it. She also made Hilltop Hoods "I love it" a truly special track. Sia is an Australian treasure.

I dont listen to the radio in the car, I listen to audio books CD's in the car, I dont go to shopping centres or malls much at all - and music just isnt my thing, i LOVE bands like ELO, and other 70's bands and most of the 80's...but thats it.
