These are just of few of the words (and thoughts) that come to mind when I think of Vienna Teng. There is no one else like her and has never been.
Literally Im sat here in the dark crapping myself ; it sounds like something you'd hear in a horror movie. Love love love it, no fancy music, just purely her voice.
I actually had to wrap my arms around myself to make sure I was still here and still alive while I was listening to this. And tears actually formed. It's so haunting. It makes me think "What if?"
I don't like this song, why am I listening to it.
It's creepy, I don't like how it makes it seem like nothing matters, that the persons life did not matter. Like there is not anything more because I do!
And she played this song very well because I could feel what the song was about.
I love this song so much! It's so breathtaking. It's rare to find music so poetic. It's a shame she's not more popular. People just can't appreciate good music these days.
Our performance company is thinking of doing this a a group this year.. I would be the mother. We listened to this about a million times last night just thinking; hearing the words.. Her voice is really so beautiful but haunting at the same time. Which makes this song absolutely perfect. When I first heard it, it automatically reminded me of The Lovely Bones.. Which I'm reading the book right now.. Very sad =/ Anyways, enough of my rambling. This song is amazing and Veinna Teng is to <333
My dance studio had a tribute to someone who had died in a car crash and they had 4 people dance to this song and one was her one was her lover and one was mother and another was her sister....it was kind of sad.
She opened for Marillion at a small club in Philly back in 2005. It was just her and a keyboard. Absolutely breathtaking. When she did this song we all just stood there clutching our beers for about 30 seconds afterwords. Everyone was afraid to breath.
Ooh, this song. My grandfather was just cremated, and when I heard this I cried so hard, Thiis song is so amazing. It somewhat frightens me, though, if that makes any sense.
I know what you mean, I heard this song a few days before a friend was hit by a car and died. It startled me greatly when I remembered this song. It's scary yet beautiful
This song is really creepy... the absence of any music, just her voice like a ghost in the wind... I couldn't hear through it all, it unsettled me too much...
this song is sooo sad, yet beautiful at the same time.....she really gets the emotion across. Her voice is beatiful and you can also see how these things affect more then just the person who dies, it affects all those who knew them....and she is watching everyones life go n after she died
Trying to better understand the lyrics, was her lover at the crash? If so, did he kill her, or was he in the same car?
The second 'arms wrapped now around his wife' echoes with the first. Makes me wonder.

Classic Folk Performer!!! Close to the Sea Chanty's my Grand Father used to sing to me. Not this type of lyric, but definately the style.
Traditional folk music is somewhat waning, and thank Vienna for bringing it back!

At first I thought this was pretty creepy, but the more I think about it, the more comforting the lyrics become.
In the song she doesn't seem miserable or bitter, only distant. As life goes on, even her tree survives the winter.

This song is so haunting.
I am not sure if I love it or hate it... it's beautiful, but scares the hell out of my imagination.
It makes me think of what my family would go through if I died-- and I'd be invisibly watching them, singing this song.
Creepy!
