what a shame poor quality of video. Heard this on radio today, song is awesome, different and unique, but this poor quality really takes alot away from the song
eveliomusic is right--it's Bobbie Gentry. "Ode to Billy Joe" is posted here on YouTube somewhere. I've loved Beth Orton since forever, and my dad had the 45 of OTBJ, but it never occurred to me that they were similar voices . . . thanks eveliomusic!
sonicly amazin, u big rr's Joni n Beth r true emotive storytellers; cupla decades apart but you've obviously missed the point about shared artistry. P'haps u shud go to the cheeky girls or s cowells latest offring. you maybe more @ home. u f head.
oh i remember this one, yea big in my wild wiley bachelor days when i was travelling the countryside and stuff, ya perfect for driving down the highway under the stars only im three years into married life, so she no longer has to cry out since we've found each other and though my wild bachelor days were something else, i would not trade married life for anything under the sun
WHEN U R READING THIS DONT STOP OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN MY NAME IS SUMMER I AM 15 YEARS OLD i have BLONDE HAIR , SCARS no NOSE OR EARS I AM DEAD IF U DONT COPY THIS JUS LIKE FROM THE RING COPY N POST THIS ON 5 MORE SITES OR I WILL APPEAR ONE CREEPY NIGHT WEN UR NOT ExPECTING IT BY YOUR BED WITH A NIFE AND KILL U THIS IS NO JOKE SUMMET ING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U IF YOU POST THIS ON 5 MORE FLASH BOXES
If the stil have the original, I would chose a better compression as well. Too much pixilization on this version. Great to see the video though! Excellent song.

Similar to her "Stolen Car". I like both and others.
US National Public Radio uses Concrete Sky.
Interesting biography.

For chrissakes can't we get a better quality version than this? An amazing song butchered by something as simple as bad audio quality. What a shame

The audio on this is slightly distorted. You may want to consider resubmitting it.
