I really like it, but I don't like the bellsound

[phernatic]

[slimturnpike]

[vivelamatt]

This sounds exactly the same as Nina Simone's version.

[lizzie020493]

I've been to that pub! It's amazing :) Dingle's a fantastic place. Wonderful song, too.

[wslyvl]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... and beautiful again... haha!

[PFinty]

[TavernacleRecords]

@PFinty I'd love to write a song with her.

[Bootrosgali]

if you see lisa hannigan please tell her thanks a lot for this great cover.

[mossycow2001]

The best thing I could ever listen to on Easter morning, I love You tube I find the coolest stuff!

[faberfeut]

after all she left a real sense of bliss and you feel happier and lightest, ready to spread your love all around

[swordfish707]

she is so good its scary...... she is so beautiful its scary....  she is so authentic its scary... an angel in the flesh... she is here to awaken love and longing and to cast light upon our mortal coils that darken in these times

[99kremer]

This is an exceptionally gourgeos cover of one of the greatest singer/songwriters in history, Lisa Hannigan posesses exquisite vocal beauty. I would absolutely love to go to this pub and spend countless hours listening and having a few drinks.

[TheBlueorigami]

This song is so beautiful. It sort of reminds me of "Not in Nottingham" from Robin Hood. Anyone else see the similarities?

[amandajane450]

I used to sing Lisa's version of this song all the time when I was pregnant. My baby would be kicking and I'd start singing it and she would stop, like I put her to sleep. Now she is 2-1/2 months old and I still sing it to her. She'll be crying, and I put her on my chest and sing this so she can hear my heartbeat and the song and it calms her right down. She usually ends up falling asleep. This song will forever be "her song". I don't know what I'd do if this video ever got deleted! lol.

[bitteoszillierensie]

@amandajane450 Yeah that's lovely. Drug use, prostitution and fatal illnesses. It's good stuff, children love it.

[DAFUNK213]

@amandajane450 It probably will be taken down because of ACTA...Google it,as off tomorrow jan 25th 2012 it will be signed.Bye Bye internet.

[fascarza]

beautiful, too beautiful!

[yafffnez]

Simplemente maravilloso.

[thebrownbreadmixtape]

One of the great Bob Dylan tracks. Really nice original interpretation!

[hadimajzoub]

omg!!!!!!!!

[Ghernanjose]

was that Damien rice to the left of her

[1968spiritman]

really nice video. reminds me of bjork.

[JerichoDitch2]

well done.... original video... best cover of this so far

[curiousgeorge555]

"leaves ya howlin' at the moon" Dylan! A way with words like no other. Lisa is magical of course.

[BenjDeath]

Fantastic Lisa 

[bluedevil3867]

bloomsday

[LilyRose99]

wow. I don't know who Lisa Hannigan is, but I've just been listening to one cover of this song after the next, and this by far (as the previous poster noted) really nails it. Beautiful. Whoever you are, thanks for this. ^__^

[flopperocker]

@LilyRose99 i second that

[BenjDeath]

lisa well she is just class xxx best Dylan cover ever xxx

[Tbone77777]

I love the atmosphere...to be a barfly that day...great stuff

[Holymakinaw]

LOVE it.

[brunocat4]

Sweet Melindaaaaa...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[handballr15]

"When you're lost IN THE RAIN in Juarez..." Get the FIRST LINE right!!

[oldalco]

@handballr15 hey a minor slip on a fine job - give her a break. (besides, maybe they just don't allow wet t-shirts entering 'Rue Morgue Avenue'.. although last I heard Poe wasn't talking!)

[quememuera]

@oldalco I was going to point out the same lyrical faux pas, so I'm glad I read the comments. On the one hand, I agree with you (i.e. give her a break), but on the other hand, Dylan doesn't have any throwaway lyrics. The image of the rain is important to the song and gives it a feel that isn't quite there without it. But I suppose it can slide because Lisa is so goddamn beautiful and the rest of the performance is flawless.

[ifrimvictor]

@handballr15

don't get angry please. :)

She covers Nina's version of this song. I hope you'll enjoy this. It's beautiful, even you don't like how she sings her first line. haha

[handballr15]

"When you're lost IN THE RAIN in Juarez..." Get the first line right!?!

[Vandefruits]

Adorable!!! I was once walking around lost in the rain in Juarez and it was Easter time too, early April 2006, now four years later my negativity still won't pull me through....that very same night Dylan sang this song just on the other side of the Mexican border in El Paso, Texas...this song was on my mind for days.....even met him there very early that morning when the crew buses were filling up for petrol at 3.30 AM...funny experience...the man's a rare living genius... Hans in France

[GeoCubedTV]

Always a favourite song of mine. Now I love it even more. Thank you Lisa!

[twitzky18]

.... I'm in love.....

[jcmontenegro1]

eu dava-lhe uma TRANCADA"...boazona

[djlovesound]

This one is a werry nice work and her voice as always is gorgeous ! Whay to go Lisa

[cassell66]

This version is horrible.

[sebastiansissy]

fantastic Lisa well done xoxox

[eppb25]

certo che una capatina in italia la potrebbe pure fare...

[gheogoal]

Lisa, te lo dico con tutto il cuore: ti amo.

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

This was stunning in a hundred different ways. Brilliant.

[dragonfoe]

The song or the video?

[espeardub]

That feels so nice, Thank you

[royjonesillest]

She is amazing! im so glad i saw this. I only wish I knew of more singers like her

[Shestumbledin]

This is great! I got a little chill when it started cuz I thought, is that Dick Mac's? (I've only been in Dingle once, several years ago, but it seemed familiar!) Her voice is amazing. Can't wait to show this to my husband the huge Dylan fan.

[jimmytehgeek]

Wow. I don't usually care for covers, but she's up to it. This is great.

[rylieynna]

The voice, the expression. Man...I wish I was there..

[gatjoo69]

beautiful performance lisa!!! of course not the same feeling as dylan's but HER OWN... :) amazing warm atmosphere...

[mylegesse]

Tom Thumb blues - at last an explanation of this pretenious title - a fantastic singer !!

[wernerslostblues]

aight the ding ding ding dong bull shit is too loud. and annoying.

[mroriginal1984]

well maybe you should buy some speakers that you can adjust the tone on. Mine sound superb.

[laniwilliamson]

Doesn't have the same feeling as Dylan's

[JAJ4000]

No Shit.

[turgsh01]

The camera guy really knows how to make a good video... the way he/she comes in, and the audio not fading in and out as the camera moves around...

Lisa is an amazing singer and I just can't get enough of her.

[danykang]

they probably have a mic above or next to the performers. that way the audio stays the same as the camera moves.

[mrmike1806]

different version, that's for sure - was going to back out right at the start but then I listened and it wasn't actually that bad. One day somepone will sing this song just like dylan did in '66 and whoever does will have a smash on their hands.

[charlieboy815]

The atmosphere she create is fantastic!

[Rheesoman]

mmm she creates the perfect chill out mood.

[4thTimeAround]

This is great *****

[pakalolo333]

WOW !!!

[Fexoso]

i love u lisa (L)

[bigalsafag]

saw her at the sage fantastic

[tomlove79]

One of the best Dylan covers ever. Lisa really captures what the song is about. Not like alot of the other hack artists that have covered Dylan the past.

[StumpyDuke]

ok-i'd like to consider myself a bit of a big Bob Dylan fan.i've heard lots of covers of his more popular songs-Knocking on Heaven's Door,Blowing in The Wind,etc. And in fairness,Highway 61 Revisited is a great album,but how many people would pick that song? Like its a great song,and she does it brilliantly,but the fact that she had the balls to pick it makes it even better :D

[KingJamieXIV]

I think im falling in love

[joshformanunited]

i fell in love with her first. lol :)

she's brilliant, isnt she?

and those glockenspiels are beautiful. :)

[kevinlcpc]

Great Dylan song. She sure does sing it better though.

[lipby]

This is terrific. It's an amazing song to begin with-- and this take makes it dreamier and more intimate. Not as breathy and soulful as Nina Simone's, but more otherworldly. Good job.

[EricFromCalifornia]

This is great! I haven't thought about this old song and tale in so long. And while the whisper of BD's version is there in every word and beat, this cut at it is fresh and confidently its own, mournful-but-wise, soulfully-quiet-yet-musical, pitch perfect.

[BertLeysen]

Watching this video, all of a sudden the thought occurs that both her voice and accent remind me of '60's singer Melanie.

[sammynce]

I'm so in love right now!

Wonderful just like always

[curiousgeorge555]

Bob seems to really have inspired her on this one. It's not surprising. His lyrics come from??? ...

~cg5

[typewriter666]

Colbert Had nothing to do with Lisa's fame ... its her talent

[willwkrueger]

sadly talent is nothing without opportunity so she she represents beautiful, favorable circumstances. besides, its the biz; its not surprising to have a famous music star, its a surprise that shes so good --- hence, today fame and talent very separate and seem to only rarely come together in popular music

[bfpowerQQQ]

Shows like that are not how independent music tends to spread. How self-inflated would a political comedian be to think his stage is more important than her terrific music?

I found out about her through Damien Rice. Found out about Rice from a friend with good taste. Then I found Colbert through her, not the other way round. I think I had heard of him before, but I couldn't have picked him out of a group before I watched Lisa on his show. Colbert got a Hannigan bump, IMO.

[scusemelittleoldlady]

such a good song

[Ratzaroony]

One of my all time favorite songs.

[woolly84]

Lisa and co. performing her song "Tom Thumb" from the album Sea Sew. Where's this song on the album!?

[northcountrydylan]

it's not on the album ... it's a bob dylan cover.

[webelongtoelvis]

gives me shivers, magic

[Zwartekaka]

Colbert!!!! Colbert!!!! Colbert!!!!!

COLBERT BUMP!!!!!!

COLBERT is the gerat one!!!

[Peeps1120]

Excellent!

[northcountrydylan]

colbert bump! great cover.

[colinjohnrudd]

Why wasn't I born further down the line and in beautiful Ireland on the Dingle peninsula....so I could have heard this angel sing live in this pub.......wonderful artist

[BonsaiBilly]

OMG - Lisa doing Dylan. All my dreams come true! More more more.

[Zwartekaka]

My dreams would come true if she was doing me :P !!

[Scoob505]

She has more respect for herself than to randomly sleep with some obsessed fan.

[Zwartekaka]

Who says that I am juts an obsessed fan? Maybe I'am the one for her :P

And yes I also think she has more selfresect than that :).

[thisishowweviewit]

veryyyy good.

wow.

[Spotlighter134]

thought that was a very cool version of Tom Thumb Blues ....Dylan original and one of Phil Leshs' faves

[kattiekatt]

omg! another briliant song with much wisdom easy to understand her and she has a Beautiful voice i am so amazed ! she goes finshing and with Gods help she will catch many

[krabbers]

superb

[jxmiller]

Wow, one of the best. Perfect. Some stuff here I think musicians have forgot about, thanks for remembering whats important Lisa.

[sethhendrix]

Not trying to sound too girly here..... but her voice literally brings tears to my eyes. Simply amazing. Big fan here!

[1000turtles]

you know the first time I heard your voice was in Mexico City, in a record shop, ("Remember" with Demian Rice). You had the best voice I had heard in years and I was absolutely stunned and touched, and had to by his record at once (because of your voice!). still now, one of the things I remember Mexico City by is your song...

Thanks for your wonderful music!

[knittingprose]

this wasn't on Sea Sew...

[herskovicmd]

haunting rendition of a classic

[ELMERJUNchannel]

try to search marit larsen another artist who's so talented she even try singing while on the escalator!! try to search "marit larsen if a song could get me you escalator"

[MadSnowmen]

wow nice sound

[riotgrrrl582]

why are they in a box?

[skyrere]

I can only immagine that the box is exactly what it appears to be. The pub is an old irish pub, and that box is for musicians to play without destracting the patrons...

This is what I think. I don't know for sure.

:D

[riotgrrrl582]

yea it just seems so weird doesn't it? i mean, you can barely see them. i like to watch musicians when they preform and this setup is so awkward. are all old irish pubs like this?

[wildarmx]

i actually think it adds a TON of character to this video, wouldn't be the same without it

[riotgrrrl582]

oh ya i totally agree, it's very intriguing. makes me very curious and it's like they are a little jukebox.

[skyrere]

I have no idea. :D. I would love to find out though. It's very rustic and charming, and I can only imagine that the Cranberries got thier start locally this way.

[maitiudeburca]

Not all, but the really old ones do. That part of the pub is called the 'snug'...usually they are just inside the door, and they were traditionally for women to sit & talk, away from the men! That was a big improvement from when women weren't allowed in pubs at all! Like, there'd be at least one pub per town/village still with a snug. I think they're great. :) & they're quaint & this just looks class. This is feckin' great!

[Shaftell]

Aww, that was nice.

[phonemenace]

Beautiful, divine cover - the purest, hair-standing voice I have EVER heard!

[tubephobia]

Speechless. Simply wonderful.

[gloriaguy]

fantastic!

good idea this video.

[sinco84]

wonderful!!

[oscarkev190]

i hate to nitpick but this is a bob dylan song (note: i love lisa and dont like dylan much im just tryin to be fair)

[skyrere]

it's a cover. :) No reason to apologize. Did she sing it well enough that you enjoyed it? If so, then she did Dylan a favor. LOL

[ilcorvojo2]

I'm lovin all these "homemade" videos!

thank you for sharing!
