THE LAST OF US - Fuel to Fire (HBO) by Agnes Obel (Cover by Rachel Hardy)

[@kaischwab1239]

This is one of the rather rare cases, where the cover fits more to my taste than the original song. I really love that you perform it a tad slower than Agnes, which gives her poethic words a calmer, warm and special touch. I could listen to your version all day long.

[@st939]

Have to disagree, sorry.

[@klausa9861]

Have disagree also, but that's personal preferences...

[@bravenose]

Totally agree!

[@InPursuitOfCuriosity]

Rachel has such an incredible voice. She is one of the few vocalists who can truly move me with her performance.

[@Cyclone-Enoch]

Beautiful her voice is like the breeze coming of the ocean, wonderful.🎉❤

[@TheTrendz24]

I came for the piano, but stayed for the voice. Bravo 👏

[@josephhein9497]

Came for the voice and piano... Stayed for the eyes.

[@pixl41]

Glad this song is getting the recognition it deserves. Agnes Obel is an incredible composer

[@jessesoby7130]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@carrienader516]

I love this song! I first heard it while watching The Originals season one when episode 18 first came out and I had to look up the song, and have been a fan of Agnes Obel ever since. Your cover is absolutely beautiful! 🥰

[@pauljamesbennie]

This haunting song first came to my attention as the theme to the BBC mini-series called Vigil. It seems a popular choice with TV producers.

[@jamesdoanecompositions]

I agree!! Agnes Obel is amazing, and this is an amazing cover.

[@jimmybz9185]

This cover of Fuel to Fire is nothing short of flawless. The precision with which the piano is played, paired with the vocals and seamless production, is absolutely perfect. Every detail has been executed with such care and skill-it's a performance that truly deserves applause.

[@Snapster416]

This is lovely... not sure which i am smitten by more... her voice or the way she looks.... absolutely stunning in both regards.

[@c84n55]

Hi, I wanted to thank you, I have an illness and your music is the only thing that calms me down at the moment and makes life bearable, so thank you very much.

[@lindawallace8582]

[@donnadoll9443]

Simply outstanding. Love your voice and your music.🙂👏👏👏👏

[@demetrakis7t2]

There is absolutely no limits to this young ladies talent, she does more than justice to every piece she decides to cover, and always surpasses the 'original' . I am lost for words, just keep it up..and thumbs up to those finest of musicians backing you, respect.

[@RachelHardy]

Thank you so much 🥺 glad youre liking the music!! I actually make all the backtracks by scratch myself. Still doing youtube videos as a one person team but hoping to start outsourcing a few things soon

[@demetrakis7t2]

[@ShawnDusseault]

I don't think I have ever heard a more beautiful voice. Every once in a while a singer comes along whose vocals can touch your soul, not simply your heart. This is that sort of voice.

[@tommeeprofitt]

....this is brilliant

[@tjmoon1857]

Highly arousing

[@RachelHardy]

Thanks so much Tommee!! I'd still love to work with ya one of these days!!

[@Askaa88]

She is actually a quite accurate depiction of the older Ellie in TLOU2, they should try and cast her.

[@MrArthur20]

Her voice is still haunting me after listening to this masterpiece several times. Soo Divine!

[@augustus7697]

One of the best singers in the world, to my opinion. Much better than many other "renowned" singers

[@a5athome]

But in this cover only 75% as good as Agnes Obel 😊

Speechless! To the depths of my soul! Heard this cover six months ago and it was it that inspired me to watch the show. Just watched another episode and... there it is! Familiar notes on the credits! I'm running all the way over here to listen to this awesome Rachel's cover (much better than the original song, sorry, Agnes Obel). It's cathartic. It's tear-jerking! 🥺❤

Rachel never over-sings. Take note American Idol contestants. Less is more.

[@RachelHardy]

That being said, I'd never be accepted onto American Idol for this reason XD

Still listening to this video every couple of days. The best version of this song, imo. This video made me develop a crush on Rachel. Her voice and beauty are just so captivating.

[@starwolf7019]

Отличное исполнение! По новому взглянул на эту композицию))))

[@azertyssement1]

Nice song, nice voice, nice eyes. I feel this song like something sad happened but nothing can repair it but time. The soft voice and music seem inviting us to accept it whatever is hard.

Oh my, how stunning! Truly a magical cover, Rachel! 🥰

[@RachelHardy]

Thank you Julia!!

[@pbond21]

Wow.... just wow. That hit me, even though I still haven't played or watched TLoU, which makes this cover even better.

[@FaisalAli-jt9zg]

Voice of an Angel singing the purest form of music. That's Rachel Hardy for me. Incredible talent. And did I tell you how beautiful she is. ❤️❤️ Hooked to this song instantly.

[@Raszagil]

Do you want me on your mind Or do you want me to go on? I might be yours, as sure as I can say Be gone, be faraway Roses on parade, they follow you around Upon your shore, as sure as I can say Be gone, be faraway Like fuel to fire Into the town we go Into your hideaway Where the towers grow Gone to be faraway Sing quietly along Pious words to cry into the under Upon your shore, as sure as I can say Be gone, be faraway Oh, what a day to choose Torn by the hours All that I say to you Is like fuel to fire Into the town we go Into your hideaway Where the towers grow Gone to be faraway Never do we know Never do they give away Where the towers grow Only you will hear them say Sing quietly along Sing quietly along

[@jcs6206]

Her singing made my cat start purring. That's never happened before from anything other than actually petting her. That's pretty cool.

[@artscopemedia]

Wow! One of the most emotional and delicate songs ever written in my opinion and covered beautifully.

[@WhisperingPeace]

My goodness, speechless. A timeless beauty singing a timelessly beautiful song. You take our breaths away, Rachel. Keep being utterly amazing you.❤️🌹❤️

[@BasiliosCousin]

It looks almost effortless coming from you. Oh girl. You don't even imagine the effect of your voice in my heart. It melts in every note, I have to pick it up with a sponge.

A listened to the original after listening Rachel cover, I cannot go back to the original again, I didn't finish listening. Her voice is something out of this world. I like to listen music before bed, very low volume with timer. I have a new favorite one.

Wow, I haven't heard a song so hauntingly beautiful in over a decade. This was expertly executed. Such emotion and feeling. I felt shivers the entire time. Exquisitely beautiful. I was seriously anxious with family issues. Your song completely altered my state of mind. Thanks, it was really relaxing.

[@Bazz977]

Thank you….you surly outdid Obel’s version of this very well done. Please never stop singing

It’s a solid cover, but “surely outdid” is quite a stretch. This song doesn’t exist without Agnes.

[@JovanLatte]

They are both amazing in their own ways but completely different.

[@MattCollectorControl]

Rachel. I have to say.. Without over-appraisal or sounding like a nutcase. Your voice is smooth and silk, it's the equivalent of finding a pool of liquid platinum. No sounds of breaking in the vocals whatsoever, just enchanting, ethereal, trance like. But it's also not just the voice. Your grace on the keyboard. Your eyes, its like staring back at Cleopatras gaze, its beautiful. I've saved this to my likes and favourites. Because it belongs there. And I wish you nothing but the best with your talent...

[@anuragrsimha]

Rachel, I love your singing and performances so much! Whatever you do (of course, I understand you chose the things which fit you :) ). Frankly, I cannot remember anyone (in all languages, not only English, or my native one) who would gift and help me more than your art does. Not only your art is gifting (for these four years since I had encountered your channel), but also in every aspect of your performance I can realize, your choices are the ones I am most sympathetic for. I am longing when there is no new pieces from you for a long time. But the rarity of these things makes them even more precious. Thank you for being who you are and your works! You make my life better, and with your art I make the most-precious-to-me part of my own work (theoretical physics :) ) even better :)
