How is it possible for someone to sound even better in a live performance? Easily one of my favorite vocalists of all time 💛🙌

[@chaunceymauch2682]

In my personal experience listening to so many concerts of many different types of music I've almost always found country artists and rock artists have the most amazing live voices and there songs sound so much more amazing live!!

[@djsd007]

In addition to her voice, i think the 2 guys do an AMAZING job at background vocals ( evenbetter than her own background vocals in her official releases imo)

[@monicasmr3650]

Same here she's littlerally my favorite

[@andreswanepoel7536]

100% Agreed 👌🏻

[@EllenMassieMusick]

I heard her at The Ryman last night. One of the best concerts I’ve ever attended!!! She was flawless! ❤

[@nathy0308]

Burning House was the anthem of my breakup in 2015. We were together for 9 years. I had no marriage, no baby, no property, nothing to show for it. He just up and left. Broke up with me via text. The next day I had to go to the Alzheimer's walk with my mom. I vividly remember playing this song on repeat the night before the walk, desperately crying and rapidly cycling through despair, anger, sorrow, total and utter confusion... I put this song away for a long time after that time period, and I've only recently reconnected with it and with Cam. What a song, what an artist. THANK YOU, Cam, for doing what you do. ❤

[@paintsnfun]

She's intelligent, articulate and a fantastic singer. I love her songs. I've watched this over and over because it's so good.

[@tteabag91]

From what I can tell, you're not alone in that assessment.

[@SilverPhotos]

Burning House allowed me to recognize and feel emotions i didn't even know I was hanging on to, and finally let go, healing me. Such pure, beautiful, powerful, healing music. Thank you for your courage to open up your life and experiences through your music and into our hearts

[@billware6721]

❤️

[@ABlueDahlia]

4 years later and I still come back to listen to this. Just phenomenally clear vocals that are just a showcase of how brilliant this team is and how amazingly talented Cam is. Much love!!

[@torymcgowan8815]

One thing I loved was in an interview on the Today show before she performed it she said way back she was in College and she majored in Art and Music but she couldn't make up her mind which one to go into and her Professor told her to picture herself old and which one which she regret not doing, she said that did it she went with music! Thankful she did!

[@nicoledirenzo3488]

I met CAM last year at one of the local radio stations 92.3 in Orlando. An amazing women with heart of gold that reflects in her songs!

[@jennywillhite9577]

Burning house is the song I hold in my heart for my ex husband and children's father. He has struggled with addiction since he was a child and though we cannot be together on an intimate level we have a relationship for our children. Our struggle to co-parent together has been a long and difficult journey but we are raising amazing people.

[@AdventureJenni]

That last one choked me to bits!!! SO BEAUTIFUL! Took her 6 months to write it through all the tears! I bet it took nearly that much longer to get to a point where she could sing it in front of an audience so FLAWLESSLY!!! AMAZING!!!!

[@Kayla-qt4ef]

How did she not cry at the end!?!? OMG I'm a puddle

[@alienwisconsin]

She said she did for six months of writing it. But yeah, such a touching song.

[@lesaboo4740]

She said in a KZbin video that it was a dream she had and it was her ex boyfriend in the burning house. I dunno about you but if my ex was in a burning house, I wouldn't cry lol. I love the song

[@ishouldhelpthisguy]

@@lesaboo4740 she was referring to when she sang Village

[@leebaseball11]

Met Cam at the airport a couple of years ago before she got real big. Sweetest person, I bet she hasn't changed one bit

[@ThePaintedShovel]

All were special songs but The Village was so, so lovely. I can drift off to sleep feeling grateful for the many people, here and in the past, who have helped build my life on a bedrock of love and care. I am humbled.

[@morganb40]

The story behind Village was my favorite it has a sad story but what Cam said was so true the don't leave you unless you forget them they stay in your heart.

[@jamiebaker5769]

0:00 Burning house 8:54 Runaway Train 14:26 Village

[@midnight51]

I'm so happy to learn what inspired this song as it is one of my favorites! What an amazing story and it's such an emotionally intelligent and compassionate act too which speaks volumes about the person she is.

[@vincentrafols3977]

The Village song got me in tears. This is why I love country music. ❤😭

[@zoerose4110]

Aww village made me cry so much. I love that every song has so much meaning.

[@AdventureJenni]

Came back to comment again after 5 more listens.... the tears are still spilling! I'd love to Cover "Village", but it might take me 6 months!!! WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!

[@shanemulligan8261]

Discovered Cam a week ago, and since then I have watch this video more than 10 times. She is amazing live. Beautiful voice, great song writer and the guys behind her are sheer class.

[@shanemulligan8261]

I'm a fan of and an acquaintance of Cam's drummer, "Walle" Wahlgren. He's a phenomenal Progressive Rock/Metal, Jazz, Hip-Hop, and now Country drummer! He's seriously one of the most versatile drummers out there, and he's still relatively young.

[@dwightwiltz5481]

I can never fix it and no anger is never the answer but still I'm lost in that same anger that no matter what it if isn't the answer so when all you can see is that anger from that pain is revenge all that will do is make us loose out on life's true meaning and that's to love and when i take my last breath It will be a breath of love and forgiveness !!!! Love your song thanks !!!
