[rhunterdouglas]

Love it - the girl can freakin sing!

[ccdg1066]

She's amazing.

the harmonies in this song are way more complex than what most people are used to hearing in pop music. she is singing notes that don't necessarily "belong" 100% to the chords she's playing. if anything this makes a singer more talented, not - and i detest this word! - pitchy...

[MrsSeawise]

what a wonderful song

If you watch her singing technique carefully you will notice she never strains from the throat, she always raises her 'self' into the note. I don't know all the things she's doing, but everytime I watch her sing I feel as though I'm watching correct vocal technique, not some hack singing into their shoes. It takes knowledge to sing the way she does, never mind the great material she writes. A lost art...occasionally surfaces here and there.

Wrong. Her pitch is not off. This is a different style of singing than you are used to & this song must be a standard by the sounds of it hey? They used the semi-tone device a lot more in the melody intervals. People from that era would not 'hear' heavy metal, it would sound 'wrong' & you have the identical problem. Call it 'cognitive dissonance' if you like, but her vocal technique is 'right on' pitch. You are unable to appreciate her finer qualities but the album Baroness is a work of art.

i think it's fascinating how everyone is a damn expert... even tho they have never even heard of sarah slean before lol i mean, really? "trouble with the melody"?!? Sarah Slean's singing style is very bending and dramatic at times. Listen to at least one other song of her's before commenting ever.

[suze82]

I think she's singing it exactly right. She's bending the notes. Geez, if you don't like it don't listen.

[ytertyu]

is she deaf or something? can't she  hear how much she sucks ?? .. try get a job at McDonalds , hon !

[iadorenewyork]

I agree with the individual who noticed Sarah's tuning difficulties. It just seems she lacks some confidence with this particular tune. That is causing her to be "off" her notes and have some pitch problems. But her effort is really sweet. She is playing the piano quite well, and she does seem to get better as the song goes along. (She's probably performing this better as we speak.)

I love Sarah Slean, thanks for uploading!

[supernautistaken]

someone should post her music as videos with cd cover backround, as many others are, namely universe, i've never heard that album before, and i cant seem to find it ( without paying for it) though nothing compares to actually seeing her live, i regret missing he rthe last time she was in newfoundland

[xEvilynax]

I've got chills... absolutely wonderful.

[munchkin142]

This is absolutely beautiful!

Great performance from 2003. The video should be titled "I'll Never Smile Again". Sarah was covering Ruth Lowe for the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala that week. This performance was from the CBC TV show Play.
