I had heard Hayley sing this song with playing piano by herself in her concert in Kaohsiung Area 2010. It was fabulous. I like it very much. The sam scene I saw again, touched me a lot.
I went to see Hayley in concert in Bath and im still on a high from a BRILLIANT evening , thank you HAYLEY ... And thanks for putting this piece on youtube , lovely idea ...
I agree! Its a very moving song! Before I started recording, Hayley said that she didn't really consider herself piano player - I beg to differ! She plays the piano brilliantly! The music flows with great ease...
I completely disagree with that....while Hayley's version is gorgeous (I really love the reworking of the intro...makes it less of a seasonal ballad), Joni's is just as, if not more, beautiful. Personally, I think that Joni puts a lot more of herself and more emotion into the song, which of course is expected as she wrote it.

Very nice, except very rushed in some parts. It's not like that on the album, thankfully.

Thanks for posting this. Heard Hayley sing this song at Tewkesbury 2 weeks ago, brilliant! I didn't know she was a pianist, too.

This is a beautiful song , but you wouldn't have guessed from Joni's version,
Hayley took a rough diamond and polished it and now it is a beautiful and desirable object.
