I love to listen to this album, especially this song when driving downtown at night with the window's slightly cracked and gazing at the city lights. Talk about being taken to a peaceful place. This is my high. lol
I love her rendition of this song. It's so haunting! She is awesome! I'm glad I know about her. She is a treat for the ears. Very musical and her interpretations of songs is a sonic delight.
a very natural and a very lovely voice. i wish she sings and makes her own versions of lady day's 'crazy he calls me' and 'you turn the tables on me'. thanks for posting.
also one of my fave amel songs. she's beautiful and her voice is like honey. has anyone heard esperanza spalding's version? i saw them both at seattle's jazz alley this past october. and it was just OMGsh!!! esperanza's version isn't on her cd unfortunately. but when i saw her live it was just speachless...
I love this song from Lovely Standards. I think of Hawaii every time I hear it because I listened to it so much when I worked out there. I'm almost ashamed to say that I like this version more than Nina Simone's.

Sorry, I don't like her version of the song. Her voice IS lovely, but where is the passion and the longing? Her tone is directly at odds with the song's lyrics. She sings the whole song in a breathy albeit pretty voice, but any mediocre singer could do that.
Amel is everything and more i've read in the comments. Good looking out everybody. Nina Simone does a cover of this also. their careers are very similar. brilliant artist, can't be catergorized, avant garde, etc. peep the Nina Simone video on here also. Amel may be our generations NINA but, of course, in her own unique way!!!
i heard the original version of this song in an independent movie named "Matthewville" or something to that extent, and i gotta say, she served it every bit of justice and more.
i'm personally a fan of "i like the sunrise". that song is just so perfect for her in every way.
I'm almost in tears.

@somegyrl8 Nina Simone's voice was deep or low so I'm sure you'll do fine:)

I love her voice in this song just as much as I love Nina's voice - such beautiful contrast, yet they both have their own melodic, wonderful flow.

I collect anything recorded with this song.
Definetely she'll have a especial place in my collection.
I love her child-woman voice, a perfect combination for the charcter of the song. Drama and ethos combined.
Thank you for sharing beauty !
