I love mostly the fact that when Ken played it, whilst most people just carried on working, a few of us round the country just stopped & listened as the words & her voice really got to us, & then went scrabbling for pen & paper as Ken said who it was. I had not heard of Grace or this song before so well done Ken Bruce & Radio 2 gang for bringing this wonderful song & artist to my attention, i had to shut everyone up on the building site just to find out who was singing.
This is an amazing version of this song. So perfect for Grace's voice and the words are incredible. It would be great if there was a video clip on YouTube of Grace actually singing the song, as it can then be shared so widely. Anyone got one?
Thanks to all of you who left messages on both youtube 'My Life' videos about how Grace's 'My Life' affected you. Grace has been so touched by what you said. PLEASE send your same comments to Ken Bruce/Radio 2 & ask him to keep playing her song & PLEASE ask your friends to do it too.We're working hard for Grace to make 'My Life' a hit. It will bring comfort to so many people. Grace helped get Eva Cassidy's music out there for all of you & now we want to help Grace. Thank you!
I heard this song for the first time on KB's show on Radio 2 as well, it just blew me away! I was in my car all ready to set off, but I couldn't move away until the song had finished, wonderful!
I was painting the ceiling when Ken Bruce BBC radio 2 played this today. Brought a tear to my eye and a lump to my thoat. I just stood at the top of the ladder motionless...A Beautiful. Amazing song and voice...
Heard this song on Radio 2 at 11.35 and rushed home to you tube her. Truly amazing Grace, what a voice. I think there are elements of Eva Cassidy and maybe a little of Jennifer Warnes. All in all a wonderful talent, I could listen to Grace forever
Wow where have i been!!! i heard this wonderful voice on radio 2 singing a song that made me stop and wait to hear who it was, it was Grace singing The Last Leviathan (from a new album? i think ) I had to come here to hear more, what a beautiful voice.
Grace is such a wonderfully talented singer and sings so beautifully on this song.
I have always enjoyed Grace's music, her music has brought me comfort. Only wish I could see her sing in concert but don't know if she is able to do a lot of touring or out to the west coast in California.
simply beautiful.

What an indescribably beautiful song...with such depth and love...and no bitterness,despite all the hardship she encountered.
Very obviously a very unique, amazing and heart- warming lady!
God bless you all.
