(Using my bf's youtube name...) I saw her do this song from the wings on stage in Albany last year. I have always been in love with this song and had no idea she covered it. I had tears in my eyes that night...
yes! I love that one as well. They also do a cover of "one of us cannot be wrong" but its really hard to find. deffinetly check it out if you can though.
Got to see them play this song in Pittsburgh. It was electrifying, I'll never forget it. Amanda Palmer, a goddess. Thanks for letting me relive a wonderful memory.
Oh Christ, I wish there was a full version of this. She sings this song like it ought to be sung: broken & near tears. Transcending that line between despair and hope.
I think anyone whose ever sung has covered this song, seriously

The girl can sing.
You just have a certain perception of what a good voice sounds like.

This is such a beautiful song on it's own without being covered by this amazing band.
Absolutely beautiful.
Amanda's voice is so powerful and perfect for this song. I adore it.

Oh God. I was at this gig. Somehow I managed to forget this song.
It all just flooded back to me - how moving it was to be with all those people but each one of us was completely alone, just listening to her voice.
