[@eddiebrown8715]

Shades of Debbie Harry with the face pulling and side glances.

[@SirBlot]

Feels the music as well. The most played section is "William is looking at the boats" and "William is getting the hang of this" at the same time. I know with Vivaldi I have got up to 5 conversations, but they change to anything probably if I don't concentrate the right way. I spent most of my life not listening to music, bit of a shame. I think it is souls and the universe, but the universe can be annoying as hell.

63 y.o. kidless & catless white male checking in to say this might be my favorite live take of any of her songs so far. any tune that holds up live like this in a studio has to have substance to stand solid when it's all stripped down versus what goes on the big stage. the hook on this can (and probably will) last in my head for days.

Jacob Decker it’s not that she used to be a bad vocalist it’s that unlike a lot of people her voice has become better and better as she’s matured. Her lower vocal register and overall tone just keeps improving. I’ve loved her voice since fearless but some of the live performances she’s given recently are better than anything she’s ever done.
