Beth Orton I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine

[snifnscratch]

every day is just like the day before,

all alone a million miles from shore............

[planthi80]

is she still on tour?

[kikisfishy]

@planthi80 limited dates announced this year so far see forum . beth-orton . net/topic/8279593/1 for details

[petshopboogie]

Truly, truly awful. I can't believe she turned such a great, emotional Ronnettes song, into this bland mess.

[kikisfishy]

thanks for the deep insightful response petshopboogie, glad you enjoyed it :D

[augwest45]

this version is a bit hard to get because of the sound. Listen to the version on her album "Trailer Park". It's about the saddest song ever, tugs on the heartstrings. Not for everbody, but if you like music with an emotional gutcheck, a classic.

[orbitingbeatnik]

Great, but I can't believe all the disrespectful arseholes chattering all the way through it.

[berlinmitte10117]

Yes, I agree. What a travesty

[petshopboogie]

They were waiting for a singer to turn up.

[snifnscratch]

@petshopboogie bitch

[olsaltybastard]

Five stars all the way. Radio Paradise turned me onto her and I've been a fan ever since.

[Giharl21]

Doesn't touch the Ronettes, but it's good.

[snifnscratch]

The ronettes sang it without the spirit it was written in. The ronettes rendition was flat and emotionless, whereas Beths version is full of emotion (to the point in this vid where she cant finish it cos she`d start crying)

[blue2blueinthenight]

The Ronettes -- are the Ronettes... Quintessential for the time.... they were good at what they do. But.... FOR my money -- I'll take Beth's version any day.. as you say FULL of Emotion, it touches me deeply- what music should do.

staggers

[snifnscratch]

this is way better than the original ronettes version!

[snifnscratch]

The Ronettes sang it with no feeling.........

[snifnscratch]

"and I know there would not be

this cloud thats over me

everywhere I go"

She would have finished it if she wasnt going to cry.

I was suprised, and dissapointed, that the Ronettes, not Beth wrote this, though Beth made it very much her own, and I bet its way better than the original.

Like Eva Cassidy, all Beth Orton needs is a guitar, if that. Eva was SLIGHTLY better, and was the best female artist ever.

[shitbag139]

she's so hot and she makes me cry,lol, jesus

[anthonyhillmusic]

Stunning!!

[RLBsTodd]

I must have listened to this well over 100 times now and EVERY SINGLE TIME I have tears rolling down my face - there is so much emotion in her voice to match the desperately sad lyrics. No other rendition of any other song comes close to that for me. It is a beautiful, beautiful song - beautifully sung and almost unrecognisable from the original by the Ronettes. Outstanding...

[tookool4school]

doesn't get better than this

[mangostars]

This is possibly one of my favourite songs ever.. It's a shame people are talking, but then it's a nice contrast to the sheer sad, desperation of the song. That a person can feel these things in the midst of the 'throng'.. she's amazing, I'm waiting for her to tour the UK.

[checkmic78]

does any know where i can view beth singing this song live on her own at glastonbury

[kuriosatempel]

one of the worlds saddest songs

[nalc892]

Gosh, you people in the audience! This is the legendary Beth Orton. Even the ambulance has enough thought to take the noise elsewhere. Show some respect, why don't you.

[rachaelbromley]

lovely

[bevsfan]

A brilliant song craply recorded, Beth has a cracking voice I hope her back gives her no more jip ever again

[scousemouse69]

Such a fantastic song, is this in a cafe bar? Why do people feel the need to carry on blabbing their bullshit when someones playing?!!

[kikisfishy]

i agree with that, seems to have a inner happiness and glow, and all the other cliches

[TFinSF]

It was a daughter, but point taken!

[ocdinmusic0vo]

I think she got even more beautifeul after she had her son.
